Tauren WIP
 

Have had a break from Maya for a while and decided to get back into it, been working on one of Blizzards creations from Warcraft as I thought it might be nice to get back into modeling practice and have an available 3d model for me to study at the same time.

Just basically blocking out at the moment, as you can see the hands are really basic and quick, hence the lack of a thumb, these will be improved in the morning :)

Love WOW...i play a tauren too :)

Im about to start a Onyxia raid hehe

Dude, good start. Where did you get those image maps

WoW model viewer, you need Warcraft installed though (I think at least)

*expects influx of warcraft model's* ;) just remember im a mod ;) hehe

looks like a nice start to the modelling :)

Looking good :)

I play WoW too, I switched to Alliance though after changing server to join a large danish guild... Been thinking of making a high-res model of my NE warrior as well :)

decided it was time to give him the ability to pick things up, also played with the muscle structure a little

looking cool so far,
i heard that warcraft is the most famous online game..

Are you going to be animating the tauren?

Never played WoW but heard great reviews/peoples opinions on the game - its very tempting to have a go.
Saying that I've been stuck on eve-online recently which is another great MMO game in 3D space.

If you fancy a simpler browser only MMO then try out travian (http://www.travian.com/) which is a free simple resource management/combat game that is dead addictive. Me and the guys at work are playing it like crazy ;)

No real animation planned at the moment, if I am happy with it at the end I will be getting 2 copies printed and painted up :)

You mean you plan to send the finished model to a 3D printer?

Sounds like fun! Please post the result when you do!

Dave

Thats exactly what I mean :)
Also have connections to a miniture painter so he is going to paint the guys for me :)
