So after I got back from E3 I decided the best way to continue enjoying my vacation was to work on my orc. :D I started a rough concept for the armor and took a stab at the design of his weapon.
So slowly moving ahead with this :) Tweaked a lot of things and polished the body. Also had to retopologize the hands and torso so I dont have to go to crazy subdivisions. Started on one of the weapons. Here is where I am at now :
@littleclaude Hey Neil! How are you? It's been ages, we should catch up soon :) Thank you so much. The maximum tris budget was 3500 including the weapon and mine comes around in at 3167. The texture budget was 512 :)
Thanks for the comments all, yeah a Kukri is Nepalese blade, like the Machete it is used as a weapon as well as a tool. references were just what I found on google :) You're right about the handle toronto, I've made it a bit shorter
Reading over those links you gave me and all 3 have to do with normal maps, something I'm not planning on doing with this model quite yet. Were you trying to suggest I use them in the weapon here?
I think you hit the style pretty well. The helmet and shoulderpads and weapons in particular look really nice (and isn't that what's most important in WoW? :) ). The face kind of feels separate from the rest though. Nice painting job!
Sticking with the limited edition, it's price is being brought down in line with the regular edition over here. Wanted the Hobbe figure though :/ Bonus content is still an extra dungeon, a legendary weapon, spartan armour and energy sword from halo.
:) Its pretty far from recoilless, but its a cool design. Though I have to wonder about how well one could shoot it with that much of the weapon's mass ahead of the grip. Nicely different take on pistol design though.
Thanks for the advice! I'll be sure to keep checking in. Here's a small update after blocking in some armor and tacking on a bionic arm I whipped together which will serve to hold up the weapon I have planned. Updated Gallery
Did they change the weapon unlock stuff back to achievements? I have played around 8 hours and got 3 things. :( None of which I use. Seems like I was getting stuff over the weekend but now nothing.
