Looking really good mate...

Now I need to go see the movie too, just because of you

[Phil]

No idea what all of that is about, but the models look very nice

[Núkumnëhtar]

Looking great windu! Try to catch me online, we need to chat.

[Pixel]

They look amazing. Nice work

[Celeglin]

And Saphira is a giant sapphire colored dragon....

Oh my, this writer's creative .

Everything's looking quite nice. The face in the bottom left corner is by far the best part of the collage: very, very well done. Eragon (did I spell that right?) is spoiled though because of the overuse of fabric creases/folds that shouldn't be there. Try studying how fabric moves and folds when making a texture of it. Don't just add in folds for the sake of adding folds.

As i said before great work

Yes, and Eragon is simply 'Dragon' with an E. And the character of Brom is actually Gandalf or Ben Kenobi in disguise.

Thanks, and I half agree with you on Eragon's shirt. It is tough leather, which is very tricky to do because it can either have very little folds or very many. I see what you mean, and I do agree with you a bit, but I dont see how I can get around it. It looks much worse with less folds. This is one of the pictures I used for reference:

Its also extremely tricky to get the leather shirt coloring right. No matter what I try, it just doesnt have the right color which really pisses me off. I've screwed endlessly with the Ctrl + U tool and the Ctrl + B tool.

Anyway, here's my updated version:


The face isn't there because the old one sucks There isnt a picture that would even work, so I've decided to either draw one from scratch or wait until the movie comes out and theres finally a picture of his face on the internet.

EDIT: I see you fixed it. Very nice

Hmm, what DOES it look like with "less" folds. Because that pic you showed, while it looks nice. The jacket itself isnt actually that realistic imo. Why not have a go at it?

btw the hands need more texturing, or like shadows or something

What do you mean, have a go at it? I didnt use the picture, I drew it all from scratch

Yeah, and the hands will get some work. It's really unfinished, I havent done the alpha or the bump map. (He's going to have an alpha channel on the end of his sleeves to make them frayed like the ref image).

I've found myself wanting to do more higher-poly stuff than the BFME poly limits. Its always fun to challenge myself at something new.

Oh, and FG, thanks for pointing that out.

Indeed it is Something i find fun is to model each individual finger, then you can rig the fingers seperately and do all sorts of interesting hand guestures

What do you mean, have a go at it? I didnt use the picture, I drew it all from scratch

lol i meant with less folds, like a more "clean" style, one that looks like its been ironed

Most of you have probably seen the pictures/concept art for the ROTWK expansion, and for their new design of the Witch-King. Well, I happen to really like some parts of the design, and I decided to go ahead and make a WK based off of their concept

EA's:


It might end up in a mod, i'm not sure yet. 4058 polies prior to optimization, so it would fit easily in BFME II.

Here's my work:
His button image:


And the model/skin:


In the last image, it doesnt look that good because of the lighting, if i get a better render i'll post that too.

[Clement]

Ohh it's really a good model/skin, lovin' it!
But maybe that there is a problem between the shoulders and the cape.
Anyway geat job, and when we will be able to see the weapons?

[Pixel]

Amazing... It looks better than the one ea are currently using ingame in there videos
Btw... is that a custom model?

[Master Windu]

All from scratch by me (skin + model +map) except the forearm armor (vambraces).

[Hot!c3 II]

Very, Very nice work Windu.

[Solinx]

I find the torso and legs a bit straight. The higher up the torso, the wider the metal bands should be. Just gradually, and only a bit, but just enough to break the line straight up.

Aside from that, it's really an awesome achievement to get that done in a day.

Edit: I need to type faster
I also forgot to add: The better the skins, the more perfection is expected

[GothmogtheOrc]

Wow. Nothing else to say

Those models/skins are amazing work Windu, I can't believe how close those look to the concept art

[Lauri]

woah man, awesome
I agree with Solinx though

[Bebbe]

Sweeet *drools*

I love it
