Friar Tuck! I like it.

[Kanis-Greataxe]

I you were to add a beard to it and scale it down a little and it would make a great dwarven monk.

[Dann-J]

The smiling face and bare feet remind me of halflings more than anything else. Hin fist drunkenmaster!

He's a fine figure of a man and I won't hear another word said about it.

 

It looks very good and it's nice to have something a little more whimsical to use.

I'm glad you like it

 

Tchos : yes, that's what I had in mind when I created this statue - he could be the founder of an order who worship a god of wine, beer, food...

 

DannJ :in fact, he's supposed to wear sandals, but it's difficult to see it on the screens. And I must say it's difficult to modelize sandals on a 3 polygons foot

Speaking of that, this statue is a 8k model, which is a little bit too heavy for my taste. There are some hidden polygons I'll delete in order to reduce this amount to the 6k-7k limit I set up for my models.

 

Kanis : yes, but without the beard, he could pass for a gnome, too ! In fact, depending on the size, he could pass for a lot of race (except an elf, maybe )

Holy crap it's the Jabberwock!

[kamal_]

He's an elf, he just has problems resisting a good calorie laden dwarven grog.

[Calister68]

The silent dwarven halls now have their sentinels.

 

Still some work to do on those, particulary on the lower part of the armour (it looks like a bathrobe ) and the feet.

 

[rjshae]

It looks excellent; the helm is a nice touch. Funny, when I saw the lower armor I just assumed it was padded armor or brigandine.

[Kanis-Greataxe]

They look great. I agree with rjshae the lower armors looks like padded or brigandine. 

[4760]

I concur. The lower part of the armor don't seem out of place (even now, I can't see what you find wrong with it). To put it in a nutshell: nice work!

[Calister68]

Thank you !

Yes, I thought about a kind of padded armor when I modelled it, but I'm not an expert in dwarf armors

 

However I'll modify the feet, which are too small, even for a dwarf

I'm working on a lion statue :

 

Screen 1

Screen 2

In game

 

Useful to decorate a city gate, or a castle entrance, I think. This one is a 4200 polys model.

An empty base would be useful as well, so you can bring the statue to life via the RWS lion model with a stoneskin effect on it. All you'd need is a bit of switcheroo trickery, destroying the statue version and spawning the empty base, with the lion construct appearing in front of it. A cloud of flying stone fragments via a visual effect could help hide the transition - and potentially scare the cr*p out of the player with a nice loud stone explosion sound when they get too close.

[Calister68]

That's a good idea, although I'm not sure the rws lion has a sitting position similar to my lion ?

[4760]

With the visual effects, it's easy to assume that the petrified lion has come back to life and is now standing, reading for a fight (or a dialog if you want it to behave like the sphinx  ).

Indeed. That's why the summoning and polymorph VFX are so large in the game. They're the equivalent of a magician covering something with a cloth momentarily, only to whip it away to reveal that something changed while you weren't looking.

 

Although if the knockdown idle pose for big cats is anything like that of wolves, it'd look pretty much like a 'crouching tiger'.

[Calister68]

There's a little problem : I painted the shadow of the lion on the pedestal. Deleting the statue would result in something like this... which is not really "artistically pleasant".

 

I'll make a variant without the shadow, before proceeding to my next statue. Here is the final version of my lion.

[PJ156]

I don't know that it is correct to look at but why would the lion not leave a print of itself if it were not connected to the plinth. Over decades of non mobility rain and dirt would get in there and leave a print much like that. I think a warm brown rather than black but it would be there.

[-Semper-]

even if such a print would be there, from a gaming pov it wouldn't look very good if the lion on the pedestal is missing, and it would also restrict the usage of the placeable.

 

btw nice progress in zbrush

True enough.

Hi,

I don t know where you are at your zbrush learning but for texturing,personnaly i use polypaint on my hight poly model then the free program Xnormal to get this on the low poly model texture.

You should take a look at some seamless texture tutorial on zbrush,your dunjeon floor would be so much more nice with that >_>.

Like this one.

 

The use of projection master for column has some nice tutorial too.

[rjshae]

Looks like Calister68 may be on another extended hiatus...

[Calister68]

I'm just taking a little break, don't worry, I'm still following closely what's happening on the forum

 

@nagual : interesting textures, but I'm not sure making my dungeon floor with zbrush would be very poly efficient ?

[-Semper-]

you would only use zbrush's geometry to create the texture. simply bake the detail and the vertex color on a flat plane and your dungeon floor is ready.
