Haven't been able to see the pictures before this, but now I can see that you have a really realistic looking Yoda there.

 

Ok,then he does have a biped(it's the best i can do with my limited knowledge of rigging):

his shoulders need some work

Update: He has hair!

That's looking really awesome so far.

 

yodajared, paste the direct link to the image instead of the php link. That should work for you.

And that last render looks really nice.

 

I never knew Blender was that good.
anyway to convert blender to max?

I like how your Yoda is coming along very much. I like the time that you've put into making his expressions. It makes him very lifelike. If you need any tips on texturing or other things in Blender, I'd be happy to share with you how I did them for my Yoda.

 

Looks really good, could keep using work though, keep going, this will turn out awesome.

 

Really nice model! Keep up the good work!

How do I make I biped an attach it to the sketon of say a person?

 

Blender, I could not say, Max is Simple Maya is Simpler. (in response to LS Monster)

ooooooooohhhh yaaaaaaaaah

 

Amazing work there, but I don't like the hair. There should be more of it and it should be sorta lighter in colour and also thinner. I tried blender a couple of years ago but hated it, gave up and got Max.

 

Here's some updates. I was able to experiment with the hair more.
Slight update:

Pretty nice done....this is the closest looking Yoda model I've seen to ILM



Keep it up

 

Thats great for using blender. That makes me curious about this proggy.

Nice work at all. Are there plgins needed, especially for the hair ??

WOW ... I wish it was in max.

~Rory

 

can you export to max via blender?

and to Maya?

 

Love that yoda, But he looks slightly plasticy anyway, keep up the great work! and can someone answer my question please

 

Biped was a highly used 3DS MAX term for use with Character Studio. Of course it means "two legs" literally. But now it's kinda a generic term for a biped rig I think.

This model looks really good. Blender has good enough modelling tools that's for sure but I hate to see you try to rig, animate, add hair, etc. in it. I'm not real familar with these features in Blender but this is what usually sets the low-end apps apart from the high-end stuff. I think you should take this as far as you can go then try taking it into another app. for these other things I mentioned.

 

So it can be transfered to max?

~Rory

 

Anything can be transferred to anywhere... but it just might take some work and clean-up.

 

Very nice work,this is the best Yoda mesh I've seen !

 

This one is so awesome!!!! Unbelieveable!

 

All i can say is WOW... one of the best no-Lucas reditions I have ever seen. Keep up the GREAT work.

 

Really? So what programs can transfer LW to 3dmax?

~Rory

 

[link=http://www.righthemisphere.com/products/dexp/]Deep Exploration[/link] can convert most any file--sometimes the textures might not work correctly, (LW-->Max) but it can always convert the mesh and sometimes even the animation. Works really well converting Maya-->Max (and that's directly from the Maya .mb file to a 3ds Max .max file).

 

any chance of an animation test?
