Orthanc's Creation Thread

[Orthanc]

That's the boat with it's grappling hook out (and that is link in it, he just has a different suit on). As for how big it'll be in Civ, that's a good question! I'll have to make it big enough so you can see Link, but as you can see, in reality this boat is miniscule (like my bathtub is probably bigger), so I can't go crazy with scaling it up for detail. Thank goodness Civ doesn't care much for scale!

Wait.. thats called the King of Red Lions?

I imagined something huuuge

 

[odintheking]

Cool, can't wait for a King of Red Lions unit, . Please make a cannon attack!

BTW, Orthanc, have you seen the next WW style naval cel-shaded Zelda game, Phantom Hourglass? Link has a new boat, :

 

[Orthanc]

Yeah I saw that little trailer, though I kinda wish they stuck with a SAIL boat. Oh well, I haven't bought a handheld since Gameboy color, so I probably won't get that game.

Oh, Barrel Sub will be done today for sure!

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Then its onto the Mesoamerican ship or more Zelda ships?

 

[Orthanc]

I've still got a few more Zelda ships, luckily (as I will prove in this post) they go by pretty darn quick, cause...

Barrel Sub's done!

 

[Stormrage]

You are a machine! Wow.. at this rate, I`ll get Rex in about 2 weeks!

 

[Orthanc]

CRUSH. KILL. DESTROY.

Whoops, sorry about that, sometimes I do feel like some kind of robot.

Anywho, starting on King of Red Lions, of course I gotta make Link first. I think I'm going to make Link's outfit civ coloured, think that'll work?

 

[Quinzy]

hey, i can find you a good WW link model, if that helps. i don't know if PovRay can import..

 

[Stormrage]

Um, doesn`t he have a distinctive outfit, you know, the green pajama thingy?

 

[Orthanc]

You mean the one here?

Even if POV Ray could import (normally it can't, I think there's a utility to change that, but I haven't tried it yet), remaking the model in a normal POV Ray format would probably be easier to do. BUT, having the model on my computer in a different format would let me view it from any angle (since I also have 3DS Max), which is just as valuable.

@Stormrage: Yep, though I'm thinking of making that green civ coloured, since he does get different coloured outfits in Ocarina of Time.

 

[Quinzy]

well there's that, and this one, which is actually OoT, i just got mixed up: http://www.turbosquid.com/FullPreview/Index.cfm/ID/309970

 

[Orthanc]

We all get mixed up a few times.

Anywho, issue is, for some reason I can't get the model I Linked lol: sorry, bad pun) to to download.

 

[Quinzy]

oh yeah, its a dead link (pun alert)

 

[Orthanc]

Working on Link's head now. The great thing is, now I've made a standard hand (open and closed) so I won't have to make those again.

 

[Stormrage]

Thats one big `ead!

Looks great so far!

 

[odintheking]

Wow! That head looks freaky! Maybe it should be smaller?

 

[Stormrage]

I see on your list that you are re-doing the Firaxis` ships.. Why? They are no good?

 

[Quinzy]

comparing it with the actual WW link, its perfectly sized.

 

[Orthanc]

Thanks Quinzy, Windwaker is cartoon graphics, hence the ginourmous heads.

@Stormrage: Well they did an alright job, but the cannons big enough to take out a town on the Frigate and Man-O-War are irritating. If all cannons had been scaled to that, might've been acceptable, but they're not, so those ships look out of place. Anywho, if I re-do the default ships, what is left to compare to? Mwahahahaha!

*cough* sorry about that.
