Chairwalker Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 Some of you may remember a little (dead) thread on the modeling forum about my Sauron WIP. Im still working on it, in fact its about 60% done. But, as you have noticed, this thread isnt about Sauron. Its about the orc (another LOTR model, jeez i must be a geek ) Im currently working on the Mordor orc (the one you will be seeing alot in the two towers) But im planning to include some Moria orc skins as well. About the skins, the model will have alot of them. No orc looks the same, and its an aspect i really like about orc's. Oh, i almost forgot posting the image http://www.geocities.com/quakersnl/orcbla.txt This is the "scarred, pierced and barely wearing anything" variety of the mordor orc. As you see, his boots were stolen (along with his feet lol) But i'll be sure to add some so he can survive those cold and lonely nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapperDanMan Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 Pure excellence!! Awesome work, Can't wait for it. When do you plan for releasing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SettingShadow Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 Was there any green orcs? Anyway looks good. I just wich the movies would have followed the book and made the orcs black as they really are I think they changed to much from the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairwalker Posted November 26, 2002 Author Share Posted November 26, 2002 Squater, some orcs were very darkish green, others were completely gray...i plan to include alot of the diffrenet color's. As for a release date, i really cant tell. I still have alot of modeling to do, then theres the skin's... And lets not forget setting up all the stuff to get it to work in JO So all i can say at this time is that it wont be released this week lol.

ninja Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 @ chairwalker, hey wow i have that same helmet in my picture files. the first pic. i like fantasy art and i'm into the armor thing. by the way, have you seen the old animated versions of the hobbit series. i think in that movie "return of the king" the dark rider looked pritty cool. the evil king looking guy with a corwn, with no face just red glowing eyes. maybe that would be a good future sugestion. or just look at alot of fantasy art.

SettingShadow Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Make a black version or I wont d/l it , or maybe I will. But it would be cool with a black Orc, for those who dont know J.R.R Tolkien described the Orcs black in the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairwalker Posted November 27, 2002 Author Share Posted November 27, 2002 At Matt-Liell Arroblade, I would love to make a legolas model but i dont like having to much projects all at once, since it causes most artists to lose interest alot quicker. After i finish either sauron or the orc i will think about it. At Ninja, I saw the animated version of The fellowship of the ring But thats about it. If you could 'arange' some image's i'd like to have a look at them. At Squater, Yes, your right, im not pleased with this color as well. I wanted it to be darkish grey with a pinch of green but it turned out alot greener in the renderer. The moria orcs will be green though. I always imagined them to be like they were in the recent movie. I dont have anything new to show you all. Well, i made some boots and a second facial skin. But i wont upload a new shot untill i finish the mordor helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairwalker Posted November 30, 2002 Author Share Posted November 30, 2002 There you go, 3 orcs : http://www.geocities.com/quakersnl/3orcs.txt Still not happy with the color of the skin. Im going to have a little talk with my skinner The helmet has been changed as well. Instead of three "layers" on the front it has one. This was done because the three layered version didnt look very good without going over the maximum amount of poly's. Also, dont tell me the armor doesnt look like in the movies or any other art you've seen. Im trying to create the orc the way i picture it. Not create a replica of the movie version.

Matt-Liell Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 Nice! Keep it up! they look good except for the skin colour i agree! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 looken good. you can also make him look meaner by adding two big fangs on his jaw. kinda going upward to his cheek bones. just a thought. cause he kinda looks like a kid orc. and wow it takes a freaking long time to not still be a bontha fodder.

Chairwalker Posted December 3, 2002 Author Share Posted December 3, 2002 While im waiting for the moria skins im weighing the bones and working on the lods. hopefully i will be able to release the model at the end of the week. Btw, are there any good sounds for orcs ? I tried recording some from the FOTR dvd but it had to much music etc on the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 dude the cartoon version of the hobbit or the return of the king. hey they sound pritty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaaZeus Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 I think that you should give them more muscles and stronger looking jaw. He looks so thin and weak, so it looks like more goblin than an orc. Anyway good model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Truthful Liar Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Cool. These are only the small guys, where are the big fighting Uruk-Hai!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araegon Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 lol. dont worry about the Uruk-Hai, they'll get done too. chairwalker: great work on the models, each one just makes our LOTR TC better and better. Once the models start getting released, me and the other members of the TC will start finishing the weapon models and putting them ingame. that way you could play as, say, an Uruk-Hai with the uruk-hai scemtar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
