Toothless - How To Train Your Dragon
I still prefer Cycles over eevee but lately I find myself using it more and more to preview models and tweak anything I need before rendering.
Painting with Substance is amazing but it does not support painting across UDIMs yet.. although Blender does! so if needed I do any crazy masks in Blender and import them back into Painter.
Stripes are very subtle and they were most visible in the first movie only, but they are a nice detail so I added them as well.
simple rig overview.
The How To Train Your Dragon trilogy are my favorite movies of all time. I love the story, the characters and the world they are located in. This is my take on one of their main characters Toothless.
I gathered lots of references from all movies and Toothless' appearance slowy changed through the movies so I kinda picked the features I liked the most.
