Gollum WIP
 

So far this is about 5 hrs of modeling and 2 hrs or so into the texturing. So Im not too far along yet but making progress as I have time to work on it. This is done with Lightwave. :)

Wow! it looks so much like him! I like the textures.
I think the forehead is a little too heigh though.

Terrific work as always Larry, its gonna be fun to see the complete model when its finished.

ooooh my precious.... great stuff Larry

Thanks guys. The textures at this point are mostly gradients
to effect spec and diffuse. I have a procedural skin bump that will be blended in better later. The color map isnt completely done yet but is very simply...youd laugh. :)
Lighting is an area light as the key with a couple of fill lights.

Hey Larry, looks good. Just wondering if you're going to be in Copenhagen in May. I'd really love to trade some tips with ya :P

Actually I was going to be out for the Next Dimension Tour with Lee Stranahan but apparently the Newtek Rep out there wanted to take care of the Tour himself. I think he will gave Graham Toms with him.

That's awesome! Lord of the rings own... hehe

not bad at all...

Don't you guys read what people write? He wrote:


Very nice though, who ever did it.

I think the guy who did it is the Artist of the Month at Renderosity.com Julian_J is his name from Kent England.

It's an awesome model for sure, I'm really impressed. I'd love to see some facial morphs if you've got them in the pipeline, since Gollum really comes alive when he's emoting :D Yeah that other pic by Julian_J is awesome, alot of his work is that good - he uses Maya if I'm not mistaken.
