[Nertea]

If I make anything that could be used in BFME that isn't immediately destined for RA, I'll post it here. I've also not posted any work in ages, so this could be a showcase too...

So this is the first thing, possibly for a CaH mod once the mod tools come out. Apparently this is around the same detail level, or so I am told.... sits at 19k polys with the face, 9k polys without. Insane texture resolution. 100% handdrawn as usual... model was also scratchbuilt.

What does CaH mod mean? Looking really good.

a mod for creata a hero i'd imagine adding in all of nerteas (non ra) master peices

Looking Great Nertea. That is some stunning work there, simpyl beautiful

Create a Hero.


anywoo, as I've said on msn, it's stunning, and matches, even beats, the quality of any xbox game's model

[Kelso]

19k poly counts in CaH models? Where did you hear that from? High-detail structure models peak out at 3k.....

[Nertea]

Read it - 9k without the face. And I don't know if you've looked at the CaH models (I haven't), but the Half-Troll model was IIRC something like 4k when I imported the beta's, so 9k is not unreasonable considering how they look on the preview screen.... Someone once told me that the Troll model fully decked out with parts was 13k.

[Feanor]

probably, its an insult to say probably! thats just awsome work just increadible (sorry about the hero worship )

I don't think I have seen a game with a model and skin like this ever..... even lotro has nothing like this.

also is this going to be a mod for cah????!!!

what else are you going to do......*slaps self* sorry about that getting too nooby....

one question how long on earth did that take!?

and another question is bfme 2 worthy of this lol?

[N19HtmAr3]

Oh my...

That is for sure the most awesome work I've ever seen at T3A...

[Nertea]

Wow, thanks for all the compliments people! Let me try to answer some questions....

Time to make: at least 15 hours for the skin? Probably closer to 20.
What else to make: probably nothing, RA people are prodding me to get back to work. If I do anything I might to a Second Age noldor armour set.
Mod for CaH: Maybe/probably, it depends on how easy it is to set up models. I'd like to have proper Third Age Gondor armour in BFME2 at least....

[Feanor]

wow fantastic and I am surprized at how long it took, very little time lol . You must have been going like the wind . Yeah I hated the old second age elven armoured one as well it was a sad excuse of something better

ok well now I play the waiting game this mod (if it becomes one ) is going to absalutly kick all other mods asses (is that the right spelling lol)

(sorry about the idolisation )

I doubt Nert would work for EA..

Anyway, you call 15 to 20 hours a short time for a skin? I call that quite some time, and the result is amazing. Well done Nertea, though I pretty much gave all the compliments I could on msn..

[Feanor]

hmm then who would he work for (himself I guess thats not a bad idea lol)

[Pixel]

There are plenty of game companys.

[Feanor]

yeah but.....I mean hmm I guess

second question will he have multiple weapons like sword, spear, bow, as a cah choice?
will he have a sheild choice?

[Mathijs]

He's not confirmed that it'll be a mod. Just look at the pretty picture and drool, like the rest of T3A.

[Feanor]

OK just abit totaly blow outa my mind

heheI think nertea has made the armor look better than it is in real life lol

[morgoth946]

Very good job
I presume that you've a lot of experience with 3ds max and photoshop
Ah, did you make the armour textures from scratch? Or have you used photos?
PS: Do it to make it perfect: Delete the bump map of the face
