Garrosh Hellscream WIP

[4ORMER]

Hi I'm new here so this is my first attempt at creating a 3d model using 3dsmax, i plan on trying to rig and animate it myself (if anyone could give me some pointers or a good guide?)

Currently the model is at 1100 polys but all i have left to create is his weapon any suggestions would be a great help, thanks!

Cool looking dude. I like how you used the unwrap screenshot onto the texture as a guide. well done

How a great coincidence. I started making models of WoW leaders months ago. I started Garrosh's model after I finished my Kalecgos model. Anyways, nice model.

This may sound like a stupid question, but i used the object "Plane" for the ears of the model but im finding when i go to render it they dont show up, anyone have any solutions?

Two sided texture?

 

[Kimbo]

You can mirror the unwrap yeah? by overlapping it,that way, you save file size, unwrap space and time ... Just grab the opposite mirror/end, flip it..and overlap it with the other side its handy, but i dont recommend you do this will models that are for higher poly purposes, just wc3

EDIT: As for the ear, select it via vertices/face. and then re-apply the unwrap or it may be floating off in a different area very far off from the duplicated texture unwrap pattern. Simply zoom out.

oh haha thanks

Np I think you are doing a great job, especially for your first model. I see great potential in you

EDIT:
This might help?

Id show you other tutorials that helped me, sadly... they are broken/old..

What version of 3dmax are you using?

Wow. That's a really sexy texture so far! Great job, man!

Very interesting. Would like to see these skills put to some other use as well, if you get bored.

okay so progress is slow but hopefully it should pick up since I'm finished with my exams for now. I'm still laying out the UV and tweaking it as well as working on the texture while i can, i thought i'd give a small update.

 

[4ORMER]

Okay so I've been looking into animating the model and adding team glow/color ect and i have to admit I've found it a bit confusing and was wondering if anyone would like to make this a colab and help with the animation side ect?

Just use the blademaster animations or extract the WoW animations and put it on him.
