<Update> Hey folks, Some screens of a character I'm currently working on. An ancient, rugged Elven male character, imbued with some sort of corrupting power. I'm currently texturing, sitting at 20k tris. C&C always welcome :D Rough concept Sculpt Texture progress
This is a short story involving a battle between Xerath and Malzahar, a power-mad magus and an overly-zealous prophet. Even before Shurima's lore rewrite, I always felt the two had a very interesting sort of dynamic, so I decided to finally have them go at it.
Blender has many disadvantages that Maya does not have. I work in both programs and I can say that Maya is the best program for the 3D character artist. I doubt that xgen is not needed.
