Neth king (throne modelled by ozy)

Neth'Giraden crystal back

Neth'Giraden norm

here we go the Neth'Giraden and the Neth king(or just Neth giraden leader perhaps?) all i need to do now is animate them and turn into DAEs :S

Neth'Nakkra textureized

Neth'Nakkra Leader

Neth'Nakkra crystal back

Neth'Nakkra norm

i have gone and mostly completed the Neth'Nakkra all that needs doing now is the skin on the leader and perhaps at retexture on his armor and some weapons the leader has a elite looking axe but the others have nothing as yet i also need to re texture the other neth and create the king, crystal back and the norm

i have made some nice progress on the armor texture i have also decided to test the purple eye to hint at his magical properties

the eye

volla ! my first eye texture what do ya think?

Texturing

well ive finally decided to get off my ass and start texturing William so far i have the skin on the face mostly done and the hair, not much but its a start :P
if you see anything funny let me know

Altic, god of the winter skies

hey yow yows :)

i have an update on the fabulous Altic that keeps being mentioned, i figured ill show what i have so far,geometry is done, rigging just needs tweaking and textures also.

then further animations.

as everyone hopefully knows, Altic is the god of the neth, it created the crystal trees that supply the neth with their power. it also is the reason for the eternal winter, its presence is whats causing the freezing.

Altic is pretty scary looking unit, but in the game it serves as a guide, occasionally appearing and givving hints as to what to do.

kinda like the owl from the first zelda, but less irritating, more scary, it cant talk and more omnipotent.. :P

here is is in all its gross unfinnished glory ::P

Altic, god of the winter skies

and here is a stock image of a neth cave drawing-esque depiction as Altic calls creating thunder:

William Mark II v1

ive been working on the model of william as well as a custom rig(using a bip) for the game and he will also have a standard bip for cuts scenes(if we have time for them that is)

hope you guys are working on stuff too :)

Presentation Prep

i should have William completely skinned by Monday and also have basic texture.The Neth brute is done he has been skinned and textured with the basics

The Main Character

Say hello to our favorite human/elven hero William!! near his final modeling stages
tell me what you think

Something to kill part 2

the big "Neth"(temp name) are the bad ones who are cannibals he also has a demonstration of the crystals on the back

during the quest to find the "old one" the player discovers that the "bad Neth" have held him captive as told to you by the "civil Neth" now it is then your mission to infiltrate their base and take free the old one but the "civil Neth" help you with this and as a price you must do them a favor(not yet know)

or...

on the filp side (if we have time) the player could make a deal for the "bad Neth" to assassinate the leader of the civil Neth in exchange for the relese of the "old one"

Something stronger to kill

Remember this guy ... of course you do


Well i thought that the player should have something else to fight other than some furry friends so ive given the character above the go...and i also needed a character for 3D next week

i have modified the character in max to resemble an war veteran of the species so far i only have the head done and since its Friday my blogging day here he is...remember its still unfinished so be kind on the references i didnt try to copy anything !!



Saturday update
still heeps to do and the above^^ pic has changed(the side view fixed)




Sunday update



as for the crystals on the back those are a symbol of power so they are only "given" by elders
this character is only a young veteran that as getting closer to his crystal seed also the poly count is a bit high and could use a reduction so the crystals were not a good idea for this one

Oh .... and stop forgetting to blog guys (cert 4s)
i hope you realize you get assessed on the amount of stuff you put on here

Mages and... Gryphacines?
