Very Nice, got to get into some of that high poly stuff myself one of these days.

Going for a very Warcraft look, the only crits I have is that the thumb looks a little too much like an extra finger and not opposable enough, but that could just be its current position, and the hair on his head looks a little on the thin side, but other then that great stuff

i didn't start him thinking of making a blizzard orc...he just ended up looking similar to Hellscream out of Warcraft :) (then i opened my Art of Warcraft book and thought his hair style was cool) but i dont want to go and make another orc with huge armour covering everything.

Nice job Inglis, I think Pantmonger has a point with the fingers. Nice detail in him though, look forward to seeing the textured version. Good luck with your demo reel.

update on the hair:

i think it may just be the position of the thumb..ive modelled it in a relaxed position but ill play around with it.

somethings im going to do now before david letterman comes on :):
- make the toes look a little less cloned
- define ankle/lowerleg a bit more...

keep the suggestions rolling :)

**edit: bloody cricket is on! no letterman. [V]

I would suggest having something else than 5 fingers, since that's kinda *real*, have it like 3 or 4 fingers (which include an opposable thumb in them)...

Then it'll be more fictiony...

Still its a damn good model tho, and I'm very impressed with what indies can accomplish these days.

thats fantastic, you are goona go far [:)] and like you and others have said, fingers and toes need sumthink... maybe not so much fingers to me , but the spaces between the toes seem too far apart but i guess it hasnt been bound yet....so... im sure you might squish em together then .I love the lil hairs on the legs and armpits.. i presume thats a plugin... duh! Great muscle structure/shape! [;)] great great great.. oh yeah, ther eonly seems to be toe nails on the big toes... i dunno, does the forearm look a lil short? perhaps its just the sylee . it looks wicked either way....
it looks f***n good!!!

Very nice, I could see that it was hellscram look alike. I was going to said something about the hair but you have fix it and it's looking good.

Sorry not a clue, I think plug in hair is for whimps (or people with money) you should model the hair strand by strand like we did in the old country, and its not like we had computers, had to use cardbard boxes, and ....

Crap it that in max. Very very nice then, I have been think about trying my hand at high poly in max. (I have only done the one high poly model in it.)

Sorry can't help you with the hair, I can't get my copy to even start up. Talking about hair a little chest hair could be cool.

yeah the feet haven't received much attention yet :)
ill clean it up as i get down to them- just started painting the textures for the upperbody.

Excellent start inglis, cool that your not going for the typical green skinned orc.
Did you find the references you were after?
This model is going to be pretty darn excellent when youve finshed I think. :D
