As you can see I like elves and I like to model them:p! Well this is my second model and I am still modeling in gmax so I will need help getting it ingame and UVUnwraping so please help. Anyway here is what I have done so far in about 45 minutes of work.

Looking pretty awesome so far :D
Wow looks good exept the nose is a bit stubby besides that it looks good.
Thanks for you imput guys. Next I have made the belt that hods his sword holster on his back. I have made only the pockets because the space in between can be don with a skin. Next I'm going to try to make his hat. Does anybody out there know how to make model parts hollow in gmax? Anyway here is a screen:

nice model
cool you can make a link model if you can make a young one to that will be great:D
Could I ask what program you use to make your models? and the model looks awesome :D are you going to be able to widen the glove edges though they seem kinda tight.
Looking great, I love Zelda/Link.
All your work is great.

As I said at the top Gmax, its the freeware version of 3dsm thats why I need help getting it ingame.
So where do i get it? lol
ftp://ftp1.discreet.com/web/products/gmax/gmax12.exe
There you go!
Are you going to make him holding his sheild. It would be cool if there was a mod that let you use sheilds ingame.
Well right now I'm stuck, I'm having trouble modeling his hat. I could put the sheild on his back but I haven't learned how to make model parts hollow yet. If I could I could reduce the polycount and make alot more stuff.
Awesome man! I just think the ears are a wee bit big. :)
If you want beta Testers, send me a PM. :D
Thanks alot :D and on the model I agrre with the one person (forgot who it was) the ears need to be shortened alittle if possible other then that the goves are good and everything. :)
The ears are a bit extreme in length and angle, but otherwise it's a good start.
My only other suggestion would be to actually model the body from scratch yourself - it would've made Legolas look better, and Link is even skinnier than Legolas, so the beefy Exar Kun model just isn't going to cut it this time, I think.
I would like to do that (model the body) but my polycount skyrockets because I don't know how to make things hollow and the polycount is HUGE! If someone could find out for me then I could do that.
Great Job! i love link especially the ocarina of time link. cant wait till i can download it!
i think the ears are a lil too long. I no elves have long ears but that might be a lil too long. besides that it looks awesome

Can't you find out yourself? There's a stuck thread with a ton of resources up top... one of those is bound to have a solution for you.
Stop asking other people so much for stuff and start doing it yourself - it's the only way you'll learn. (I hope this doesn't sound too harsh)
Ok, not at the top of this forum, but in the Modeling section of the Editing Forum.
It was a little harsh but no worries. I picked up a tutorial that might help me.
Good to hear but I have alot of respect for anyone who cna work in gmax that prog is so confusing to me :lol:
The modelling of Link will be on hols for awhile, I'm working on getting Legolas ingame first.
Well I am having troubles with Legolas so I worked a bit more on Link. I gave him a scronier (sp?) body all around so he isn't as beefy as before. I picked up a tutorial that I am using to try to make the hat so he still doesn't have one yet, I also added the Master Swors in his holster. And yes his ears are smaller now! :D

That looks pretty good that sword handle is awesome lol
Wow the sword looks really good.
Well I can't take all the credit for it. I found a model of it and I fixed it up a little, I don't know the author though but if you are out there great job and thanks man!

Uh ok.....:confused:
Anyway what do you think of the hat? All I have left to do is model his torso strap and his gloves.
Now you need to replace the lightsaber with the Master sword. The hat also looks awsome, move the ears more togeather and i would say your good to go...

loving this model so far, as soon as it comes out, it's going into my base folder
awsome job matt:)
love the hat:rolleyes: cant wait until link is skinned !
i wish i could model :( kinda complicated and i dont have the time :mad:
bah i can always watch models evoluate:cool:

I like how the model has been progressing, the hat is also very nice. The only thing that I believe needs the most work is the face. Ya, it's one of the toughest regions to model, I know...
Use the gamecube ssb Adult Link to assist you in creating the face.

So what you don't like it?
i was just letting everyone about the site so they could use that sword for the time being, until u get urs out there
keep up the good work Matt! Link will be an Awesome Model to play with.... make sure you get his sounds :)
That reminds me, can anybody help me get some sounds for him?
If you want sounds for Link from the Ocarina of time, I can help you out with that, I have the game and equipment to record sound from the nintendo to the computer, I also have a emulator and rom for it.
That'd be great KevinCoyle, I'd appreciate if you could. There is no rush but I do need some.
I'll see what I can do, I'll have something soon
Do you want me to post the sounds here or e-mail them to you? If you want me to e-mail I'll need your e-mail address.
Send them here (lojik89@hotmail.com) please.
I got a question as well as making Adult link are you gonna make a lil kid link seeing as how you can size chars up and down.
Hey Matt, since your making me the F;ash, I could try to skin Link for you. :)
Well if he ever gets ingame I will skin hm but thans for the offer Z!
Yo but you didn't anwser my question are you gonna be making just Adult Link or Kid Link as well cause it would be nice to have Kid link since you can size stuff.
I think you should send the skinmaps off to various skinners, so there's a skinpack for Link. ;)
Z included. :p

Well the kid would require more modelling and at the rate I'm going with Link and Legolas, it doesn't look like it.
