Ogre

[QuakeRoot]

Hi Tea Monster, I was wondering how the Ogre was looking. This is an awesome project, and a fantastic piece of work. You're very talented.

[talisa]

yeah me too. its one of the things ive been waiting for most cuz it looked so amazing and its one of the only few monsters which doesnt have a hi-poly replacement model yet

would love to know how progress on the ogre is going

[DaniOcampo1992]

Thank you all.

One bit of wonderful news is that one of the Blender devs has implemented a polycrunching tool that respects UVs. This means that kicking out a lower res version for other ports will be a doddle.

Holy s***! This is amazing! D:

[Tea Monster]

Thank you for all the kind words!

It's proceeding. I'm about 2/3 of the way through the set. I've got to fix a lot of weight painting issues (especially on the over-arm attack).

It's coming along though.

you wouldn't happen to be the same Tea Monster from eDuke32, would you?

Your model looks great BTW, I've been trying to keep myself from picking up modeling and animating...the last thing I need is another project. Is all of it done in Blender?

[talisa]

@killpixel
yeah its the same tea monster as that also designed eduke32 stuff and that designed that awesome cacodemon for doom
so im totally psyched the same guy will be doing the quake ogre, cuz everything he makes is uber-amazing

Yep, the one and only.

Thank you. I actually use a combo of different apps. Blender is my main modelling app, but I use ZBrush for sculpting, then I make my low poly in Topogun. After that I import the base mesh into Blender, where I do texturing and animating. Oh, and I use XNormal and/or ZBrush for baking.

Blender has a pretty good sculpting set of tools, so you could make do there. There is also Sculptris, which is good for sculpting.
