Hi all,

Just working on a 3D version of everybody's favorite omniscient. Constructive comments and feedback are welcome. Thanks, but I already know that I suck at modelling. :wink:

THAT IS AWESOME. Now if you animate it so he drinks coffee then says "Fetid! how dare they present this to me. Foul! they hide their finest bean!" then I would die of excitement. Seriously, a movie of Ziltoid would be more successful than anything on a Titanic scale...But thats something I can only dream of :cry: .

Thanks, everybody! The encouragement means a lot to me. ^_^

Once the modeling is done, I'll set up his rig and actions. Rest assured, I'll do a few short tests with familiar sound clips... and familiar camera movements...

Here's a mini-update. Started working on his dinosaur brow-plate -- will continue to tweak:

Thanks!! ^_^

Another mini-update: hair! And it will sway just a tiny bit during animation. Plus, I added him some Fry eyelids. They can be adjusted and/or removed.

Next up: shoulders, arms, hands, and cape.

Hi everybody,

I've laid the groundwork for the torso, cape and arms w/gloves. It's just a first pass... I'll continue to tweak until the mesh is on-model while still low-poly enough for me to animate comfortably.

Next up: taking a break from modeling to build the rig! Then, back to more tweaking/massive restructuring.

Not seen: more polys to the hair, so that it will bend like in the official artwork.
