You should definitely do a tutorial on this Nertea.....one of my (private, impossible) dreams is to completely redesign the LVM for Narnia.....

[Nertea]

considering that rob was my main correspondant in the making of this, he knows almost everything already

to write:

- follow-through of Durin creation tutorial
- effective texture resolution tutorial (rant)
- building unwrapping tutorial
- Wdump tutorial (can't find paty's anymore)
- living world tutorial

Lots to do. I'll probably write those in order from bottom to top...

Your wip tut is looking awesome

And a quick search through the old tutorial forum (which only staff can see) and a look at http://web.archive.o....net/models.php found me this:

Thanks matt, that's the one I was looking for. I think I may update it a bit, missing a few things which I've figured out since then.

[Sûlherokhh]

Ahh, a new tutorial. That's even greater news!

[Nertea]

It's not nearly as pretty as the last one, but it's impressively big so far. Not looking forward to tackling regions...

[morgoth946]

Great tutorial. I'd like to use it some day.

[Forogorn]

That Gondor Soldier of yours looks shiny and awesome...

[Nertea]

Oh look, a post

I said I'd model my Durin concept eventually. I did also say that I would do a step by step thing, but I was a bit lazy. I did include a shaded wireframe here so if you're savvy, you can see what I did.



Texture forthcoming in a few days.

That looks awesome! I wish I could make concepts like that

[Dant]

Very impressive.

[NewErr]

Oww nice model over there . Do you still have time with TDH ?

[DIGI_Byte]

looks good apart for these 3 things

1 waist looks a little low
2 Beard doesnt look right try moving some of the outer vertices around to give it a more defined shape
3 Axe looks too blocky

[Lauri]

can't wait for the texture

Yeah, right...

I'm curious, how are you correcting him on a concept that exists solely in his mind? The beard, for example, doesn't 'look off' if that's the way he wanted it to look.

[Nertea]

The concept's on the previous page mate

Those are reasonably valid comments I suppose - no way of telling that I plan to use alphas for the beard, and he may lack the intimate experience I have with the gimli skeleton for waist location . However the axe I'm afraid is perfect (ha), dwarf axes are square, not rounded in the haft.

[Nertea]

Yeah, done. I like parts of it, others not so much. Might improve it sometime, but it's such a minor part of the mod that it's not worth more than 20 hours or so of work.

[Dant]

*Jaw Drop* Great work..nertea i really love it.

[morgoth946]

Great! Nothing bad to say about it, perfectly done.
