Hey I've tried to create my L001 plec in 3D.

But I'm not sure whats wrong with it, it looks more like a Panaque than a Glyptoperichthys
I've looked at loads of image of them but I cant pin point whats wrong.

So do any of you plec experts who spend all day looking at plecs have any ideas?

Many thanks,

Well I haven't done anything on this project in a long time, and I had a bash at it again tonight.

Here's an update:

that looks even better! I see jaggedy bits though, maybe add more smoothness (nurbs is it?)

aye he looked more like a panaque in the first one, I've done a lot of work on it since then.

I will eventually get around to skinning it properly

Click to expand...

im not talking about the bumpyness of the skin (which is natural), the jaggedyness around the edges.

ah! you mean around the gills and the nostrils?
as every where else is smooth, these edges contain very little vertices true, but this is because they are small areas, one it is properly textured, and put into a scene, with a decent render (this is only a test render) you wont see the hard lines that are there.
