    Default General Graardor


    Hey peeps, I decided to give one of our characters from Runescape a high poly makeover... I'm just modeling all the different parts then I am going to take it into zbrush to detail and pose... I'm thinking to also print this one out hopefully.

      Hey Kavi,

      Nice start.

      I was just wondering if the orc you have in the image was completely modelled in Maya or whether you sculpted him first and then took a lower rez version from Zbrush.

        Sup Baj! Yeah your right... I modeled a base mesh then sculpted it a bit then brought it into maya to model all the armour over.

          I have some doubt about his big fangs. It grows directly from cheeks, do not feel that it's behind the lips

            Northern Child- Thanks for taking a look... but those are not fangs, they are more like tusks... check out the original concept for the character here...

              something wrong with this link, "page not found"

              ok,I understand, but imho it's not good, too many questions to these tusks. Here tusks looks like non-working appendages, which will only hinder to do anything
              Of course it's only my opinion ))))

                Here is the concept of the guy...

                I understand what your saying about the tusks being non-working appendages... but I guess I kinda look at this character as having evolved and not needing the use of those tusks and so they have become smaller over time... maybe this guys ancestors were very animal like...?

                Anyway I didn't concept it so I could be talking out my a** lol!

                    Just a small update, I haven't managed to do much over the last week... been a bit busy... but I should get back on it from this week

                    I have almost finished building all the bits and should be ready to take it into zbrush soon

                            Its looking good to me, I think the tusks look good personally but I do have an observation though... i think the problem (the tusks on your model and the tusks on the concept) is that the tusks on your model might be a little too far forward making it look like its teeth/fangs coming out of its face. in the concept it looks more like the tusks are part of the jaw... sticking out further behind

                            if that makes any sense....

                            but over all I'm digging the model

                              Eribos- Thanks for the post, I think that i will play around with moving things around at some point.

                              I have worked a little more on it but I'm hoping to get a lot of it done this weekend. I managed to get hold of a different concept of this character where certain elements were different, including the skirt and there were more spikes which I am hoping to add. I want to get this one finished quickly though because I want to take part in the production focus challenge

                              C & C welcome
