Anymore updates? It’s been over a month now since we’ve seen any progress. Don’t want to see such a good project going down!:smiley:

Thanks,

It is getting pretty good, but you will have to wait a bit longer for an update.
Some more characters are in the works…

Hmmm … well RCAS if it is worth the waiting, I shall then … hehehe:D. Good luck guys!

Looks very good! Btw, in norwegian it is spelled Fenris not Fenrir, and Odin not Odhin! Not a biggie, just thought you might wanted it correct. =) Keep it up, cant wait to see more!

Hi guys

This project looks great. :thumbsup:
I am an unemployed 3d artist from Germany. I would describe myself as a character modeller, working with 3dsmax, Silo,Zbrush and started to learn XSI.

I really love those character concepts and I would really like to help you out with this. Are you still looking for organic modellers? If so, I can send you some work examples from me.

Looking forward to hear for you.

Wow…all I can say is Grrrrreat! (corny) yeah :scream:

But the images thus far are awesome…good luck.

Hi all,

This project looks pretty good. I always wanted to work on a viking history. Any other space left for an animator? I can show you some animations (walk cycle, throwing a ball and facial & lip sync) if needed.

Is there a web site about the film? I have a web server and I could host the web site, just to have all the information on the same place and organized.

Best regards.
Dario Sanchez.

i would like to help as an organic modeller, i just had a baby two months ago so i’ve been busy with that and my modelling skills, give me an task and i’ll show you i can complete it with-in your time frame and up to your standerds, it’s time for me to get involved with different projects and your work so far looks amazing, you are some really amazing people. let me know

Hi,

The modelling looks really good.

I take it this is going to take place on the ocean. Any plans on how the ocean shader will be done? Either the ocean sells it or recks it. I hate cg looking water. I haven’t seen to many examples of photorealistic oceans done in Max.

There is a guy I know who does amazing procedural work. Would you like me to ask him if he could give the ocean a try? I haven’t heard from him in a while so I don’t know what he’s up to these days.

#51

Hi there guys. I’ve been really busy and couldn’t answer your posts, in fact i can’t do that not even now :D…and please forgive me for that! I will come back tomorrow and talk with you all.

thanx a lot for your interest and support!

#52

Howdy guys! Wow, lots of posts here, I’m glad to know this project rised such an interest.
Now, if you wonder who I am, I’m the 2D artist for “Shards of Asgard” project. And as Grrrrrrr is really busy, i stepted in so I can answer your posts. So here we go:
FE_Cyril - I already work on the storyboards so the basic choreography is established there. I must confess I wouldn’t know how to use a skill like yours so maybe you would like to give us a few more details about what you can do with us?
3DEffects - I hope to be worth waiting. Aldo it may be a little longer we don’t plan to abandon this project, not in a million years. Grrrrrrrrr and I are commited to finish it no matter what, no matter how long it will take. Obviously, we would prefere to be as fast done and as better as possible:D
nicofb - I’m a mythology freak (oh yeah, I can finally can get out of the closet:D) so I know about the names. I just found so many forms of each name in my resources I just took one randomly (like Odin, Odhin, Odhinn, Wotan, Allfather, etc) knowing the final movie won’t feature any of those names. Those were just reference points for our characters. Thank you for pointing out that 'tho. To be honest, my first ideea was that everything should be as realistic as possible and I’m still digesting the ideea that even the storytelling in the begining should be in Norwegian with english subtitles. As I said, I’m a freak:D So if you know any voice talent to help us with that (translation and interpretation), we need an oldman voice with a tired and wispery tone.
Grugi, fdario2000, fabionguzman - thanks a lot for the offer guys. If you are decided, pleas PM Grrrrrrr with some links to your work.
mustan9 - Naglfar will be flying. It will be more like a symbolic statement in which, after Ragnarock, Death its a shadow flowing over the remains of the world. But thanks for the good intentions, we all apreciated your offer.

What does Wikipedia has to say about that:

I’m not saying anything else :slight_smile:

WoW… Good to know a lot of people interested in this project and even more: some are willing to join the team :slight_smile:
You can e-mail us details about you guys, some of your works, links and whatever:

In Danish we call it Fenris and Odin, too. :wink:

Good luck with the project, it looks absolutely killer.

Hi everybody!

Since it has been nearly two months since any posts were put up, I was wondering whether there are anymore updates on this amazing project.

Thanks,
3DEffects

#56

This project looks awesome. Why no updates in over 2 months? It looked like a lot of people were interested.

I’m too busy with my own stuff to get involved, but if the project is still moving I’d love to see the progress.

#57

The project is still in work but we all stumbled into life lately:D That means eather exams, jobs or other things like that. So there are no updates yet as we want the next update to be the final one before big scenary renders and beauty renders. We already have some textured characters and props, most of the characters have been modeleted and the animator is doing his best working on expressions and walk cycles. So don’t take us for dead yet.

#58

Hi , your project seems to be great one , I would like really to join your team as a modeler (organic , character or architectural) what ever the task I belive I can deliver .
waiting for your reply .
thanks

#59

Ok guys, here is a long overdue update. I hope this sneak peak into our work will bring up your confidence and suport.

Here is our first fully textured character. The mesh was modeled by bradjames and the textures were made by Johanes Kurnia. I lend a hand myself.

Next is the wolf Fenris, modeled by Neal, aka nwh1983:smiley: Its in zbrush detailing stage as we speak.

bradjames is handling all the goblins for this short so again, some of his work, the goblin shaman:

This beast was modeled by Grugi and is in detailing rght now.

The decapitated undead. Many good artists failed to finish it. We owe our thanks to Crischan who modeled the base mesh and to Grugi for the details in zbrush.

Remember Naglfar yes? b.oXe.r started working on its textures and details and this is the result so far.

A background army undead modeled by our team member Jo Lycan. Still a wip but soon to be ready for texturing.

#60

And another background undead, modeled by Ady

Odin WIP by our own Grugi

bradjames strikes again with a new goblin

M_B’s overview for the village sequence

Crischan’s ghost waiting for textures.

Extase is taking care of our trolls. Here is his first low poly troll, still needing minor anatomical adjustements and a pass in zbrush.

A WIP for the giant troll and his weapon from Extase also

The base mesh for Helja, a lady with a sad history who seems to have found its match with rynomyte

…and some zbrush stage for her by the same artist

And the last - but not least - our props modeler Trex and some of his work

And there is also our animator, Dario Sanchez who is working on the facial expressions and walk cycles for the textured goblin right now.
Hope this quench your thirst for updates for a time now.
