Hello everyone! Some time ago mr TotalBiscuit with modmaker Eiviyn started mod called Trollobattles. I decided to do a model of Troll unit :)

I based the model on Troll fanart by David Hueso (if it's his name :) ) which you can check out here http://davidhueso.deviantart.com/art/TotalBiscuit-199219136

Troll was modeled in Wings, sculpted in Sculptris, animated and exported from 3Dsmax.

I did animation sequences for walk, 3 variations for stand, start and end of walk cycle and 4 variations of spell casting animation. Portrait animation is not even touched.

The newest version is available here:

All previous versions are available here (just to see the progress):

This is still a WIP so I will be throwing in more updates.

Enjoy! :)

Hey, good job.

I'd like to ask you: how do you create normal maps?

But how do I fit a spinning infestor onto that?

have it ride the infestor like a WoW mount

@Triceron:

Thanks :)

@Zolden:
I do the high poly model in max/sculptris, import it to max and using the projection modifier I bake it out to texture. Standard procedure in gameart AFAIK. Max can handle "a few" nice milions of polys :)

@Eiviyn:
Well, I think we can handle it (in a future update in this thread) :)

I really like the cast animations. Would you mind posting pics of the high-poly version?

Send this to TB. Now.

I already did :)
