I use Maya; Though I have used Lightwave and 3D Studio Max in the past, Maya just makes my modeling so much faster. Of course, photoshop for the skins. I was rather lazy with the UV sets if you can tell they span alot in some areas, but I just did this for fun and in timed conditions.

well, i''ve never created 3d models before, so i have no base to compare 2. however it looks ok so far...

She''s cute. Does she have a boyfriend?

The Base model looks good, but the texturing job is not so great...How are you texturing the models?

the model itself is great, the texturing job is so/so. i suspect
you''re using a lowres texture, and thats where alot of the degredation
is coming into play, but overal- nice job.
i cant tell if the forearms are segmented though, if they''re connected,
you might consider beefing up your polycount to avoid tearing during
animation (that is- if you plan on animating this model).

i give it a 7.5 out of 10

work on the texture and you''ll get a 10!

Thanks, I was getting worried, I need someone to tell me what to work on. That time frame is off btw, its 9 hours or so. The reason I put it up there is to compare how long it should take me to do something like that.

I plan on redoing the entire texturing of the model because I was rather lazy as you could tell. My UV skills are really lacking, but I learned a lot more about UV setup, cutting merging, though you really can’t tell. I do have a few questions if any of you get a chance. I noticed my UV count was way above my vertex/poly count, so far that I was questioning myself. Is that normal when you have low poly models, vice high poly models?

Also yes, I used segmented models, but I don’t really know what I should try to-do around joints modeling wise. I just tried to make it look good, but I’m quite sure that an animation of this werewolf would show a lot of weakness in these areas. I should do some reading on segmented modeling, or maybe you have some tips for me?

Really any tips on UV setup pre-Photoshop, segmented modeling, or other modeling method suggestions are more then welcome. I’m always trying to make myself more educated in this area.
