this one started out as a sumo wrestler but as i began texturing him i changed my mind and tryed to make him in to a Samoan warrior . . don't really know if it is going to work out, perhapse I have to change him back to a wrestler . . .

FrenZy 12-09-2004 12:47 AM

I read LotR but i cant remember a character called the mouth of sauron. Am I missing something.?

Great work btw. Some good detail for low poly models:)

vladimirjp 12-09-2004 06:05 AM

something just doesn't seem right with the troll....
hmmm i wonder what...:cool:
good job on the models. they all look very clean.

Psuedo Realizm 12-09-2004 06:09 AM

hahaha yah i was going to comment about the troll.. but i wouldnt want people talking about me if i was physically impared like that

R4s1n 12-09-2004 06:17 AM

Sweet models dude.

@ FrenZy - the Mouth of Sauron is mentioned towards the end of the book before the last Battle started. He talks to Gandalf the White and tries to make a deal with him to surrender.

orgeeizm 12-09-2004 09:08 AM

Good job! My favorite one is the sumo wrestler heheh, i love that hand print on his belly. Hope to see more of your work!

David Nilsson 12-09-2004 09:33 AM

hey all and thanks alot!

regarding the cavetroll. . i was a RPG convention in Denmark where some of the conceprt artist from weta where speaking, and they showed pictures from LOTR, and the was some of the cavetroll with out his cloth, and i figured since i could not make that cloth thing he has on, move nicely on my lowpoly character why make it.. .so there he is... the cave troll . . butt naked. . ;) and a hole lot easyer to animate :D

I am hoping to post new pictures of the horse today, trying to make it more massive, looks a bit fragile and skinne i think and then hopefully some more on the sumo/samoan texture.

RubberChicken 12-09-2004 09:46 AM

Gr8 work, those chars looks fantastic!

David Nilsson 12-09-2004 02:52 PM

orgeeizm 12-09-2004 04:13 PM

David that normal map makes it look much better. Im wondering, did you use zbrush or just the standard maya tools for that?

David Nilsson 12-09-2004 04:28 PM

@orgeeizm

the model on the picture is the highpoly model i am going to use as a normal map, but hopefully the lowpoly with the normal map is going . . something like that :)

i used both maya and Zbrush, i gave the the poly model alot more volume i maya and then i imported it to Zbrush to give it the blood veins scars, and so on, and now i am taking it back to maya so do the tail with the sculp tool.
