I'm following the tutorial from blender cloud about lava labs 2, and because there is also a request on the particles for the chest I upload what I have done, nothing fancy.
I have seen that I can upload an update, so later when I get to rigging I will update it.
By the way, I tried to create my normals for the hooves inside cycles blender but could not do it, need to change back to blender internal.... and aparently I lost that step, will repeat that part :s.
For the chest on the particles you only need to change Particles -> children -> effects clump and shape.
That looks like Caminandes, the llama from the blender open source film Caminandes
In fact it is, I was following the tuto on cloud.blender and see that the guy from the request wanted something like, so I decide to put my work (I will update it... but my main job is programming apps so...)
I will add the rig and do some corrections here and there, hope I can do it in less than a month (after watching the creature 2 and the rig a human there).
Looks nice! I will study this for ideas : )
Cheers, Rex
