Orthanc's Creation Thread

1# What the heck is that?!

2# I like your hands - can I have them? (they look better than the ones I've made up )

 

[Orthanc]

It's the Windwaker version of the Moblin...

Sure you can have them, and thanks! You'll probably be surprised how simple they are.

There's 3 different types of hands I made, HandOR/HandOL (Open), HandCR/HandCL (Closed/Fist) and HandGR/HandLR ("Grab", like when grabbing a ledge, you'll see).

 

[odintheking]

Hehe, "I like your hands." That sounded kinda funny the first time I read that. Yay! A moblin! I've been wanting one forever. Now, if Chris ever sends me the biq back, we might actually have a scenario, .

 

[Orthanc]

Suffice to say, he doesn't have a head yet, cause I haven't the foggiest idea how to make it in POV Ray. I'll prove it can mimic 3DS Max yet!

 

[Stormrage]

Niiiice! The li`l legs make him less useable for a "realistic" fantasy mod, but Zelda will rule with this baby!

Not too mention he's going to have permanent lock-jaw:

The head's still not done (currently he's 'hockey-player' Moblin), but that was the hard part. As mentioned above, I can't fathom a way to make this jaw flop about like it does in Windwaker, but at least I can still model it!

 

[Grandraem]

It looks fantastic, Orthanc. As Stormy said, these units will definitely make the Zelda mod great.

 

[odintheking]

Lookin good, . How about making him drool during the fidget or something?

 

[Orthanc]

Well actually they have this thing where they sniff the ground, trying to catch Link's scent, so I was thinking of using that for Fidget.

Just going to start the helmet:

 

[odintheking]

Hehe, just like the game, .

 

[Quinzy]

maybe the default can have a bit of drool sort of going up and down a bit in time with his breathing?

 

[Stormrage]

Wow! Thats precise! Nice job, Orthanc!

 

[Orthanc]

Maybe Quinzy, I'll definately consider that. Wouldn't be too hard, just a partially transparent, white (with a hint of blue) sphere sweep would do it (there's another fun detail suggestion for you to aaglo! )

Meanwhile, while I'm working on the spear, which part/s do you think should be civ-colored? The fabric around the spear is definately going to be, but other possibilities along with that are:
-Pants
-Armour (arm plates and helmet, but not the gold rims)
-Gold Necklace bits

 

[Stormrage]

I`d go with the armour

I wonder what they sound like..

 

[Partizanac]

Orthanc, but where is the tail!?

 

[Orthanc]

You can grab movies of someone going through all of Windwaker here:

To get one with Moblins (lots of em), try part 11.

Alrighty, I'll get to turning that armour red, then it's animating time! (right after I buy some groceries, so, hungry...)

 

[Partizanac]

Cute tail!

 

[Orthanc]

Yeah, it's REAL effective at balancing that ginourmous head and upper torso.

Anywho, the lantern these guys sometimes hold is going to be in the civilopedia pics (which I'll withold until the final release ), but should it also be in the animations?

 

[Quinzy]

attach it to his waist.

 

[Orthanc]

Perfect, hadn't thought of that, thanks!
