dragon
 

Hey can anyone make an honest to ...goodness... dragon skin?

like scales, tail, whatever?
or would that be too many polys or sumit...

Skins are just textures, you would have to find a good model to work with it.
Modelling it could be done, depending, do you mean a dragon like player model, if so it would work out allright.
A actual dragon Model, that you would use as a vehicle or npc, or both, would be a pain to model, and then you would have to make a skeleton and animations yourself.
A lot of modellers dont do vehicles that much anymore because they are rarely used.

oh... ok thanks anyway... :(
mabye i'll have a try at modelling and see what i'll come up with in future...

if you wanted to make a model, like in gmax or summit, would you import a model that was originally made, eg kyle and then edit it, or would you have to get ref pics and scale it etc.?

sorry for mega long bump but,
You could just get someone to reskin the taun taun model and use that.
