How are the sounds doing for this model?
If you need any help with sounds PM me.
I could try and nab some of FOTR:SE DVD :D
As for skinmapping, tell me how to skinmap and you've got a deal. :p

You could also use some images of Orlando Bloom to help shape the face right, just a thought.

If only I could find that disk with the 3DSM trial. :(

I'M SO HAPPY I'M ALMOST CRYING!:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Isanesith has just agreed to UV Map Legolas! I'm going to do some remodelling first though but it'll happen and thats the main thing! I'm going to take off his cape and remodel his bows because as Psykosith kindly pointed out the polycount is a little high, after that I'll give it to Isanesith to UV Map it, I will then skin it and then:

LEGOLAS WILL BE IN JK2!

I think the face still needs uber work done.
The latest screenshots look very impressive as far as the body and everything else but the face is looking pretty bulky, more like the other elf Haldir. Legolas had a very slender boyish face and a tinier nose. The chin needs to be shorter and more of a point to it its way to square. I suggest it be done before skinning and UVW map otherwise the skinning won't be acurate to the model

I know I know you've heard allt his before I know this is your first model and I appreciate the hard and tiresome hours you've put into this. And I say again its excellent the face is your only problem as an artist myself I know how difficult it is to get a likeness on paper let alone on a 3 dimensional model.

I'm almost crying again, this time not with joy. I remodelled the model and got the polycount cut in half so that is good. I need someone to do a final check on the model and weight the mesh to the skeleton because nither myself nor my friend can do this, so I'm going to do the remainder in gmax. Once they give me the model edited (preferred in .3DS format) I can give Isansith the model to UV Map. Then I can skin it and I could send it back to the person to run it through carcass and get it ingame. Please help, I'm so near to completing this model!

I still don't have any help but since you have all been so supportive in this model I'm going to release a secret that only I know right now.

I'm telling you because since noone is helping me on Legolas I've had time to work on it, I'm working on:

A Helm's Deep Map! Its looking awsome , just like the movie. I'm also making custom Uruk-Hai Models to put on the ground so they look like they have been killed!

The Legolas is looking great! I would help you if I could, but I'm not a modeler and I don't have programs and stuff.

Helm's deep sounds excellent also. The orcs on the ground idea is very good.

MP first and possibly if I get help SP. Then you can kill Orcs and stuff like in the video game!

it looks ok but.......noing me the map critic of lucas fourms here it gose it looks good but the brick in hte movie and the game was darker much darker and it wasnt light oit when the battle of helms deep happen i no this is just a beta but these are thing you should look into other then that it looks fine but i think you missed the breached wall or i cant see it:) ;)
 Matt-Liell
01-25-2003, 5:29 PM

First of all the map is Full Visual right now which means light is everywhere which is why everything is so light, later the only light source will be torches and the bricks will be much darker aswell. And about the wall, I don't think I'm going to have it or should I? Post if I should or shouldn't in the maps WIP, I just don't want to make it extremely big so that it doesn't take hours to load!
