[Tauer]

Announcing my next model: Blackhand, The Destroyer!

I'm in the modelling phase right now, done very soon. So far, I'm liking the result.

[Zaljinzoo]

Amg looks awesome so far!

 

[rcshaggy]

Well anyway it looks good so far man and I'll be excited for the future release of it.
There was already a Blackhand model, but the model you are doing is WAY more epic and well done so yeah.
You know what else? I play on the Blackhand Server for WoW. HERp....

 

[Ilike]

Awesome .

 

[Chucky]

there was no blackhand in wc2, he died in wc1. only his sons were in wc2

So, texture is coming along nicely.

Not quite done yet. I'm still wondering on wether to make the black belt TC or just make a texture.

Scratchmade (Or actually based on my other models Durotan/Doomhammer which are scratchmade)

With the axe he is 647 polies.

I guess I could help you with the WC2 models. I'm gonna need unwrap templates if I'm gonna texture though. Or did you want help modeling too?

Are you redoing animations as well?

 

[Bernkastel]

He's looking great so far. This shall be another great success from you.

 

[Holy Crusader]

Epiiiiccc!!!!! Dude i love you!

 

[Zaljinzoo]

omg Taur you are the man, may I make a suggestion though? Blackhand, in all concept art I've seen, is HUGE in girth, like, he almost looks like a green ogre xD

That's my weakness...I really don't know how to render UV Templates, I mean I know how to unwrap basically, I've always used ingame textures...I'm using Max 2010...The modelling part I don't need help, thanx I got it, it's just these parts that are time consuming.

Are you redoing animations as well?

Yeah of course, I'm almost finished modelling and I'll get right to rigging.

He's right, Blackhand looks more like a fat guy than an orc although the has green skin and orc traits. He's almost as build up as the Beastmaster.

You mean you don't know how to render the template? Because that's easy. Or do you not know how to unwrap the model?

Yes, I did actually make him bigger than the average orc. Don't wanna make him too bulky though, the novels never did depict him as a fatty.
I think most people think of him like this because of all the custom models made of him that are based on the Beastmaster.

I mean, the only official concept art I've seen of him is this:

And while he does seem bigger, he certainly isn't as fat as many modellers have portrayed him.

I don't know how to render it optimized for you to draw easier...cause I don't know you will understand where everything goes.
I've tried somethin here they are:

Front/Back Body:
View attachment 105564

Front/Back Arms:
View attachment 105565

I've separated the arms from the body for animation purposes...

First, you should remember to unwrap everything on one wrap.
So the model should be done before you unwrap.

Also, I would stitch the front/back arms together on one side. You would avoid too many ugly seams.

For me to know where everything goes, you should just send me the both the template and the model. That way I can texture and test it afterwards.

 

[Hardtime]

Are you done with the animations and the final textures???

 

[Dionesiist]

Considering he hasn't posted anything in what I assume is ages, the answer is no. You'll have to find another model to get your grubby hands on.

 

[wowcraft]

Looking good Tauer... Can't wait to see the final result. Also one last thing will this model have a run animation?? Your Doomhammer and Durotan only walk i was wondering if this will be the same??

 

[Sin'dorei300]

[SpectreD]

Looks amazing man!! What tool are u using to create it?
