-Grendel's Model WIPs thread

[-Grendel]

This is where I'll be posting model wips, unfinished models, etc. etc.

first off:
Orc Nercromancer
one unfinished model of mine based on this here: http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20061210041354/wowwiki/images/0/0b/Orcnecromancer.jpg
had this one made back in october. just getting back to the roots and buffing up my modeling juices

 

[paladinjst]

woool~ great models ! why don't u finish him earlier ?

 

[-Grendel]

Thanks! Yep, currently working on it. Just need to add up some geosets, sfx and the like. Might also change the staff later. Fair warning though. This is gonna have LOTS of geosets mainly for the death animation.

 

[Heinvers]

Tell me that it's not based on JAINA animations.

Cool model though, should've made a gallery long ago -Grendy

 

[-Grendel]

Nope, not jaina. Furion is the base model. I really adore that 180 degree swing animation that furion has.

Love that skull texture.

 

[General Frank]

Wow, this is amazing. Good job!

 

[NhazUl]

Nice use of the undead UI. But might I suggest using the campaign orc texture instead? I had the idea of making a model after the same concept art a few years ago and I thought it needed a hi-res and grittier skin texture.

 

[-Grendel]

not really..as much as possible i really want to stick with the unit textures so it blends more with the game. cos if i use high res texture from campaign, the model will look out of place when placed along with other units 'cos most of my models have high polycount.

 

[PROXY]

Please stick with the textures, the campaign texture just doesn't look right compared with the ingame ones.

 

[Wolffman]

Your work, as per usual, Grendell, is Fabulous!!!

 

[-Grendel]

Thanks everyone!

[Kyrbi0]

Why do I always miss the good stuff topics?

Better yet, why do all you modelers keep making new "model WIP" threads? Lol.

Lookin' super cool, man. Comments will be in the thread.

 

[Heinvers]

Next pie...ahem piece please.

 

[-Grendel]

Next pie...ahem piece please.

right..

doing something minimalistic which means its not the usual models you see from me, high polycount, lots of effects and the like.
making something based from a certain game. kudos if someone can guess what game this critter is from.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Pokemon?

 

[-Grendel]

nope

 

[Kyrbi0]

Dangit. Well, kudos for trying out a new style. Always lookin' forward to the next masterpiece. : )

 

[-Grendel]

[PrinceOfThaWest]

Please make more models like Necromagus mate, those are much better and I have to say you really know how to make model fit in with rest of default ones perfectly!

 

[-Grendel]

[-Grendel]

wip 2. c'mon, notice me senpai

 

[jopi]

well, looks very nice as we are used to from you ^^

With such a nice concept art this will look awesome I guess. Already am thinking of how to use this (spells and ability wise)

 

[-Grendel]

thanks! i'm glad to hear my works are still appreciated after a brief hiatus. this'll probably be finished by wednesday. probably.

 

[lord_Turin]

that looks really promising! cant wait for the end result.
this fits the theme of my map pretty good, i'll likely be using it once you finish/release it!

 

[Splub]

Looks great so far! Keep up the awesome work!

 

[-Grendel]

thank you!

 

[Kyrbi0]

c'mon, notice me senpai

Lolol. You are ridiculous.


That is some sick stuff, man. I particularly love whatever-you-did to make that face a reality. Likin' the assymetry... What is that from, by the way?

 

[Stefan.K]

Looks great so far. Do you intend to give him custom animations or?

 

[-Grendel]

What is that from, by the way?

heroes of newerth. elder riftwalker

 

[-Grendel]

fuck past project. i have no idea how to rig it.
in the meantime, have some sexy undead body

 

[NhazUl]

Sexy indeed. Using icon textures?

 

[-Grendel]

Sexy indeed. Using icon textures?

the shoulder armor uses the human upgrade icon. the rest uses zombie, gnoll and paladin textures. that zombie was a bitch to wrap, there's no abdomen on the skin. only the spinal part is on the skin.

 

[NhazUl]

Paladin? Nice job, I never would have guessed. Yeah, the zombie texture is tricky, use the abomination or ghoul perhaps? I mean that spinal cord on the abdomen looks quite stretched...

 

[-Grendel]

i'll test those 2 textures you suggested me, the spinal part on his abdomen was supposed to be some crude representation of abs but the texture was so small to even work with to make them look like abs.

 

[NhazUl]

Ah, abs, in that case maybe Units\Other\FleshGolem\FleshGolem.blp may be a better choice.

 

[Kyrbi0]

fuck past project. i have no idea how to rig it.

Sorry to hear that.

Cool start to the new thing. : )

 

[Ujimasa Hojo]

I love how you were able to manipulate the spine into some sort of rock hard abs.

 

[-Grendel]

I love how you were able to manipulate the spine into some sort of rock hard abs.

hah, yeah. i tried my best to make them look like abs

 

[bhusta]

Does he have a tiny borderlands goliath skull head under the helmet?

 

[-Grendel]

lol probably. he's like a bruiser/goliath mix for me.

 

[Wolffman]

Hawt stuff as usual. Who else but the fabulous Grendel :3

 

[-Grendel]

yes, kneel before your fabulousness.

 

[-Grendel]

[WhiteFang]

[Windrunner29]
