last one is an 'india jones/return to castle wolfenstien' kind of über nazi, hope nobody is offended by him, not my intention.

hope i haven't broken any rules regardning image size and so on.

very nice man.. stick around here with skills like that you'll fit in nicely.. i love the horse.. and is that the fish from that SNES game Donkey Kong Country? i remember he had a light on his head

cant really think of anything to crit you on... so great job!

@Psuedo Realizm

thanks alot!

Uh Donkey Kong Country haven't thought about that game for a long time, it had som sweet charcters! but regarding the fish it is actually more a ripoff :( of the one in finding nemo and the real fish, an angle fish i think it is called
more or less look this ;) http://www.divestories.co.za/images/...Anglerfish.jpg
strange looking animal but kind of cool in it's own way ;)

regards Dave

haha yeah man i see it now.... keep up the good work... and if you ever get the time it'd be great to see the horse textured

it is my intention to get it texture it, just have to find the time ;) hoping to have normal map done for it in a few days,

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:)

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

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

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.

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!

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.

Gr8 work, those chars looks fantastic!

@RubberChicken
thank you very much :)

here is there highpoly normal map i am working on for the horse, som 3 or 4 hours it should be complete i hope, got some problems with the hoofs and the tail and i am going to add som random scars and so on.
if you got a good idear please let me know ;)

http://www.davidnilsson.dk/upload/normal.jpg

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

@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.

keep goin with david cant wait to see the finished product

will do will do! ;) pretty much stuck on UV wrap right now, how i hate it, must be the worst part of doing 3D :confused:

I agree with you on UV mapping..no fun. That's why I cheat and use 3d paint with automap.. hehe

Awesome sumo dude. I'd love to animate him.

hey that sumo guy looks just like the guy from street fighter. anyone else remember him? his name is honda i think he's on the right in this pic. anyway keep up the good work man, stuff looks great at lowpoly cant wait to see it textured.

E Honda is his name and by god he rocks!

just made an Ape in a quickie,
his legs are a bit long for now

@rhaoosh
regarding the sumo
if you rig him yourself you can give him a go when i have the texture done, as long as i get a copy of him rigged and weighted :)


http://www.davidnilsson.dk/upload/affii.jpg

thats right....E honda. man hes sweet.

Great stuff mate, good to see some lowpoly work. Really like the horse, good luck with the normal mapping. Are they for a game in paricular or just for the fun/challange?

@ Element_Khaos

E Honda and the guy in the link more or less was the reason why i made a Sumo wrestler :)
