My 3D reconstruction of the fish Aspidorhynchus chasing smaller prey - sprat-like Leptolepides in the seas of Solnhofen (Germany) 150 MYA.

Cool art work very nice indeed.

Amazing! I can't do something that detailed.

That's fantastic. I'm curious to know what devices you work on. My computer drawings are still done with a mouse, like drawing with a brick! 

Your work is impressive!

Thanks guys, I use 3DS Max to make a preliminary model, than take it to ZBrush and add details and colors. When working in ZBrush I use Wacom tablet and pen, but not the fancy one. After that I take the model and textures from ZBrush back to 3DS Max, rig the model and animate it. This image is actually a frame from an animation.

Thanks! Well, modelling scales took me a lot of time and patience though...

Thanks,

I use 3ds Max as my main software. After making the basic character model in Max I take it to ZBrush, add details and colors and take it back to 3ds Max.

How do you rig the models for animation?

Beautiful work

Thank you.

I am not sure how to explain in a few words the rigging process... You create bones inside the body mesh for all movable parts and apply Skin modifier after to set the bones influence upon the mesh. I don't use Skin though, I use Bones pro - it is much faster and easier. Here is the screen shot of rigged Aspidorhynchus.

What do the panels on the sides of the head control?

Neat stuff.

These are for gill covers (operculi).
