General Frank: Works ingame and performs very well.
~ Approved.

 

[CeDiL]

BAH... it's GIANT! i better use a simple Paladin or Mountain King as for THOR

 

[General Frank]

Very nice skin.

 

[olofmoleman]

It's a model.

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Meh. GF was reffering to the skin on the model, i guess.

But i agree, there is no great reason to have this as model, when you can use Paladin/Mountain king.

But who says it has to be used for that?

 

[olofmoleman]

The ingame Paladin and Mountain king make crappy substitutes for Thor. The Paladin has medieval armour and a book, all in all not even close to viking like, and the mountain king is too short and has horns on his helmet.

 

[Devine]

Aint it "Thor, the god of thunder"?
anywoo I like the model but the filesize is meh.

 

[olofmoleman]

Tomato, tomato. Same difference.

 

[Callahan]

Look AoS-ish for uknown reason.
I like the lithograph instead of a book.

 

[KKRP]

I don't see why everyone is like, "Why not just use a paladin? Or a mountain king?". Why not have a custom model? The only reason I even see not using this is because you are running out of room in your map, or because you are making a map that has nothing to do with Thor. And I don't know much about filesize so... xD

 

[VeljkoM]

It looks so plain.You should add more god like armor.
Thor also has white beard and eye patch(because of the Loki).

 

[olofmoleman]

You're confusing Thor with Odin, Thor has red hair. Odin has one eye and a white beard.

 

[Karouk]

Nice Model

Are you making more Norse gods?

(Which just gave me a pwning idea: Norse vs Greeks )

 

[Kuhneghetz]

I'm very glad to see you're back with modeling.

The Thor model looks very nice, but I think he would do better if he had one wide cape (like the Arthas model has) instead of the Paladin's cape. Or does the original Thor have that kind of cape too?

 

[VeljkoM]

Sorry.But I still think you should make him more god like.

 

[onyxja]

If you want to see greeks vs norse and norse gods play age of mythology one of my favorite games.
YouTube - Age of mythology
omfg ancient gods YouTube - Age Of Mythology Soundtrack - Eat Your Potatoes (Quiet Mix)
Make Ra the sun god his so cool^^.

 

[StaberFire]

Very nice texture, though I agree with a few observers that he needs more armour. Just a helmet and he looks like he's getting ready to go bike-riding, not battle armies with the power of thunder. =P

 

[terradont]

Onviously you guys haven't seen much pictures of thor. He is supposed to have cloth and helmet, not armor. He isn't some knight you know

 

[onyxja]

In mutch pictures and sculptores he's naked (only have belt and mjölner) i know evrything about norse gods becouse im swedish.

 

[Masiah]

I agree with Veljkom, it looks more like an unarmored paladin than a god. Add some particles or stuff to make him look more divine...

 

[Karouk]

Thor... With his trusted goats!

Which reminds me you should make another model with him on his goats

Oh all things though... why goats??

 

[olofmoleman]

Hm, seems I forgot about his special belt. That's about the only thing I suppose I could have put more nifty detail on. otherwize it's just a matter of opinion how people think Thor should look.

Anyway, in my opinion he doesn't need much armour, he's a fucking god. not some puny mortal. And besides basicly the only thing to add to the armour would be chainmail, vikings didn't have plate armour or pouldrons.

i know evrything about norse gods becouse im swedish

Only foolish people think they know everything, wize know themselves to be ignorant on the whole.

Also people, stop saying, "make this..." or "you should make this...". I do not do requests!

 

[Fisher621]

Thor has a small hammer! But still nice model. But i think its more like a babarian paladin.

 

[Linaze]

Well, what is there to say, simply put: amazingly done, olofmoleman. Could be used as Thor but also as probably any random viking as well, since he does not look to "godlike."
+rep'd

 

[LordChicken]

Wow seems good tho im haveing troble getting it to work =.=

ill fix it good job tho!!!

 

[onyxja]

I wanna have Loki and Odin so i can do a cenematic of the tale thor and the pig/goat feast or thor with Midgårdworm or maybye why the vikings thougth earthquake come or thor and Loki challenge the illusion giant i have tons of them more norse things i love vikings power to Scandinavia!

Olofman i didn't say your model was bad or you shall do more im just a babbeling fool.



I think they got santa claus from thor^^

 

[olofmoleman]

No, Santa Claus has nothing to do with Thor. It does however have to do with the pagan celebration of midwinter, which was later stolen and warped by the christians.
today's Santa Claus' influences are mostly from Coca Cola and the Dutch and German celebration Sinter Klaas.

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Great Model!

 

[Balodil]

I love it! The Skin is soo nice!
But the size is to big :/

 

[wereguy2]

Pfff, massive filesize and such a small change...
No offense, but I would never use this in any of my maps, though others might depending on the circumstances.
2.5/5

 

[Someguy19]

Wow, wereguy, did you even take to time to try and compress it?
Without any loss of quality, I reduced it to 137kb.

The blue pants seem odd too. 4/5 from me, Olof.

 

[Craka_J]

Thor's back from Asgard to kick some WarCraft ass! He looks great and I love it!

~Craka_J

 

[shamanyouranus]

Wait, but Thor had a viking helmet! Other than that, awesome model

 

[LukasJ]

How you do model?

 

[Mr.Kronos]

Dear olof, I just wanted to tell you that the model itself it very good

But a thing I noticed was his hammer (Mjolnir) is to long, Mjolnir is a short little hammer
So, just have that in mind and before you do models like this, and please study some norse mythology...

It's actually not that small of a change, the Paladin UV mapping is horrible took ages to fix it all. If you'd use this skin on the original model it would look ghastly.

The blue pants seem odd too. 4/5 from me, Olof.

Vikings had bright coloured clothes, so bright blue pants is very logical, vikings also used a lot of green and maroon. Of course they also had uncoloured clothing, like I did on Thor's shirt.

Wait, but Thor had a viking helmet! Other than that, awesome model

That is a viking helmet.

But a thing I noticed was his hammer (Mjolnir) is to long, Mjolnir is a short little hammer

I know, I've done loads of research. Mjölnir is a one handed throwing hammer that always hits it's target and magically flies back to the owner like a boomerang. But the paladin overall shape fitted Thor the most, I can't animate and all the really good animators I trust have either stopped animating or are busy. Thus I decided to simply make Thor's hammer a two handed warhammer, it's not that illogical actually. The only hammers that were actaully used for battle were two handed warhammers aswell, though the vikings did not use these types of weapons. Thor's the only viking I know of who uses a hammer in battle.

 

[terradont]

One-handed hammers was used as well, but mostly by Men-At-Arms who took whatever they could find

Couldn't you try animation swapping? I believe some of the Mountain Kings animations would look great, especially his Spell Throw animation, and they would work with a onehanded hammer.

 

[Matarael]

I like that you made the hammer look like the "real" Thor's hammer instead of going for the Marvel Comics Thor's mjollnir.

 

[onyxja]

But Thors hammer mjölner is a small hammer on all pictures and stuff and he also missed the belt that thor use to become stronger but the helm is good it shall be as it is.

 

[Honored APTD2]

It's a very nice model

 

[olofmoleman]

I already said I forgot about the belt, no need to repeat it over and over.

 

[Dionesiist]

What about DvO and my suggestion about the cape?

 

[Xarwin]

Replacing the book with a stone is an awesome idea

 

[mou-man]

If your refering to Thor from the nordic mythologi, then you should know that the helder on Thors hammer is very short...

Otherwhise I like it...

That have already been stated. Several times.

 

[Mr.Kronos]

Ok, just so I get this out of me...
Thor had one helmet, one small throwing hammer (Mjolnir/Mjölner) one pair of iron gauntlets (so he could wield the hammer) and a belt... there!

NOW AW&!"(¤%!)(¤&)!"%P

 

[olofmoleman]

This model is done and will not be modified any further.

 

[Zeverens]

In mutch pictures and sculptores he's naked (only have belt and mjölner) i know evrything about norse gods becouse im swedish.

Mjölnir* And woot. Only because your swedish dosn't meen that you know every thing about the norse gods -.-

Edit: And btw, Olof. Very nice model. Would be cool if you could make the hammer smaller =)

 

[Radagast]

hmm.. he didnt have a two handed hammer?
