Truely a texturing goddess =)

Beautifully done Leigh…:love:

    I cannot say how much intricate details mean to me personally. Modeling,texturing,ideas with original concepts are all very important respectively but...............Going that extra mile as you have with the armor is quite impressive. I am a big fan of the scroll type patterns on objects. It's that kind of depth that take anything into the next level as you have with your armor. 

    It's fun to see you progress,and it will continue to be so.......Fine,fine job.:thumbsup: :applause:

This is truely an suprior texture…8 hours you say…:buttrock:

I never had thought the armor would fit this well to the character.
Since the character has an wisp body and is realy acient, the worn out armor with rust and also some places were gold still remains.
Trully excelent.

When I take a look back at the background it is said that he/ she is killed by the enemy long ago.
I sudgest you inflict some damage to the armor like a missing ring,
rings that ain’t complety round or a hole were the killing strike -of an arrow, for example- had struck.
And some part of th armor that have been broken of.

:applause:
I knew you van texture, know I know it betterbut I’m really anctious to see how you will bring the wisp like body in exprecion

:eek:

#233

Gold or not gold?!?! :insane:
Even if it would be “only” the rust it would look so awesomely cool!!.. :love:

#234

This is the first time I’m glad Haldir died in The Two Towers, otherwise it wouldn’t be possible to have an elvenWRAITH :wink: :smiley:

hehe awsome job, Tolkien would be proud of you :thumbsup:

#235

wow. leigh, you are seriously one of my heroes. Is there a thread somewhere where you discuss your book? I’d like to get a scoop on what you’ll be covering? Just texturing, or modeling too? It’d be nice to have a texturing book out there to rival that new riders one.

#236

That’s great… too match something that good… no easy way :wink:

:thumbsup:

#237

Hi !

I’ve been mostly lurking for a while, but had to post when I noticed this excellent thread.
That is truly great work, Leigh! I’m blown away! I thought I’d just have a quick look through, but ended up reading every single post in this thread during the last few hours. It’s been great fun following your progress ! I’m eagerly looking forward to seeing it receive the final deadly touches by the texturing goodess :slight_smile:

#239

Wow, I am so very touched by all the amazing kind comments posted by everyone! There are just too many too respond to everyone individually, but I want you all to know that I appreciate everything that every one of you has said :slight_smile:

I am overwhelmed by all the support! :wavey:

Well, after FAR too much socialising in the last 24 hours (especially on that very addictive CG Talk IRC channel - you guys ROCK!!), I finally got some more work done! Here are some pics:

And another view…

As you can see, I’ve started adding actual damage to the armour too.

And many people have asked to see what my UV map for the torso armour plates looks like - well, here below is the result of many hours of carefully pushing points! :smiley:

As for the actual image maps, I’ll start posting them up onto my site within the next few days so that people can have a look at them. I’ll let you know when they are up! :slight_smile:

One more render, a closeup:
