Test Renders
I've been working on this model for the past few days. Take a look at these test renders and let me know what you think.

Thats quite exceptional!
What did you use for that? Doesn't quite look like poser...i wouldn't know if blender can do that, never gotten it to work myself...3D studio max maybe?
They look very nice, what are you planning, though? Just redo dinks graphics, have him with all sorts of new weapons, or applying him to another game? I recall somebody a while back wanting to do a 3D dink, even had it working a bit, then dropped off the face of the earth, so it goes...

It looks like blender to me... but hey it could be any 3D program...
Just a couple of things... his chain mail is more blue and think about fattening the legs and arms as when you get him down to 70 pixels high limbs can be very skinny, or at least that's my experience.
I've had a go of doing a Dink model in blender (I have him rowing boats in Pilgrim's Quest) but I still need to refine it (and learn more about Blender) as it's not a match yet. I think yours is a great job.

Yeah, Simon, I think the limbs are too skinny as well. I'm planning on fattening him up some. The blue mail is noted, thanks for the feedback (I'm kinda color blind! no kidding)
OkalyD, I made it using Anim8or ( anim8or.com ). And yes, I was just planning on using him in my d-mod, then I'll probably release him so others can use him as well. His polygon count is WAY too high to be used in any real-time 3d game, but if someone wants to collaborate on a 3dDink game, I could make a low-poly version.
For everyone else, I guess I should mention that he will be fully animatable (except probably the face, but even that is possible), so I can have dink do flips or scratch his ass or whatever I feel like!

Good job.
One request: would it be possible to convert your Dink model to a Quake 2-formatted Model (md2 file, I think)? A few clarifications:
* Yes I have my reasons for wanting a Dink model for Quake 2.
* No, not any time in the near future.
* No, I don't own and/or play Quake 2 at all.
* No, I am not crazy.
* Yes, you will understand someday (if the fates are willing).
I just want to know if it is possible, if so...

Well, I can't say for sure, but my guess is someone has written an app to convert various 3d formats into md2. If you can find one, anim8or can export as .3ds, .obj, and .vtx However, see my previous post, "Thanks" , about polygon counts.

It's supposed to be a younger Dink I take it? In any case it looks cool.

It looks great! Well done!

Actually, I wasn't shooting for any particular age, just trying to make it look half-way decent (head-modeling is tough!). Now that you mention it, my model does look pretty young, especially compared to the pic of Dink's model from esplash.bmp (dink edit splash screen) where, IMHO, Dink looks closer to 40 than 15 or whatever age he's supposed to be
