Uh.. it took about 9~10 hours total from concept to final completion.. (over about 2 days) 1 hr to watch the movie (luckily the movie played twice in one day
), 2 hours to get pictures of the creature, and then 2 hours to create the monster's parts, 2 hours to place the joints.. and then a final 2 hours to redo the entire thing cause I had changed a large portion of the mechanics of the monster... and then just added a dagger in Riddick's hand lol.. the steps I took were:
1) get pictures of monster 2) photoshop where the parts relate to toribash parts (21 body, 20 joints fully mapped) 3) pencil and paper.. my favourite tools.. good for writing notes about where parts are positioned, their dimensions etc. (until I get a graphics tablet.. which I hope will be soon) 4) putting my paper notes into toribash 5) inputting data & trial and error until all/most bugs are fixed.. sometimes things slip my mind like I made a mod "pudaojousting.tbm" and then noticed -after- I submitted it that I forgot to change one bug where.. you would randomly explode lol.. and I -knew- how to fix it but unfortunately it just slipped my mind because I was in such a rush to have people try it out, right? anyways the moral is, take your time.. and know what you want before you start :P note how the final step is inputting the data.. the first 4 are all concept and measures. Good luck.
