Giraffe muzzle

Hi all.

Here is a model I did (Maya 2.5) the last year for a TV commercial. The idea was make talk to a live giraffe, so I did the model of the muzzle for a digital replacing.
I performed some expressions and the lips sinc. I put some fur in the jaw.
Just I

Can't say that I've been close enough to a giraffe to say if the model is accurate to a real girrafe, but it looks good. depending on how close the camera would be, some very short fur might have helped, but maya 2.5 didnt have fur did it? or atleast not fur worth using.

wish i had gotten to see the commercial, whatever it was, id buy it. =)

yuea..can you make him say
"Hi Wilber! " and post it haha
j/k
cute man , bet you had fun with it.. nasty teeth haha

Hey...was that for the "Geoffery the Giraffe" Toy's-R-Us comercials that were running this past Xmas (2001)? Just curious.

yeah!
think this is really good!
Haven't seen the commercial this giraffe was for, but i guess it was a funny one.
A "simple" scene that shows the essential of this job.
Beeing able not to create the full zoo, for a close-up shot!
I like it a lot.
see ya

Excellent!!!

Nice model! Really cool character too! You might want to add some bump map for the skin texture. It looks a bit too flat to me.

It is not the commercial of "Geoffery the Giraffe

Hi Brett.

Thanks for the comment.

bitchin' teeth. i love 'em.

Just a question-
I can't tell from the stills what color his tongue is, but you know that giraffes' tongues are black, right? (Well, a bluish-purplish-blackish sorta color).
