Thanks to everyone who gave their comments. Here's what came out of 'em. Decided to make my previous Bilbo into Frodo and made a rounder hobbit. Thought it would be nice to have Sam too. I guess Pippin and Merry aren't too far off then. Would it be better if i stuck to using textures and bump maps for the hobbit feet hair or resort to modelling? Plus, How do you split apart a modelled shirt and use it as replacement parts for a poser body? I keep getting weird end segments. Can such a thing be done on a nurbs modeller or a modeller like Dream3d? My version doesn't have a mesh modeller. What are the pros and cons of just using conforming clothes? I don't intend to animate the figures, just post them, render and do postwork in photoshop and painter (which i just luv doin...especially since I got a painter classic disc bundled with my tablet...)Comments would be very welcome.

Are you gonna post them to download??? I mostly just want their capes, but they are really good work. What tablet did you get? I am going to get one for my next birthday and I am just trying to figure out what kind.

Definitely getting there. I think the feed should be a little larger and furrier... Is it just me, or does Bilbo bear a frightening resemblance to Regis Philbin?

what i used on the hobbits feet, for the hair i used the pubic hair prop and the transmap that came with the prop it came out pretty good , i think you can find those props at renderotica Matt

Pretty cool! Give those baby some good texture maps and you're golden!

I think that they're great so far! My only suggestion is to age Bilbo, oh, say, a couple decades lol. He's much older than Frodo, and even more so Sam. But otherwise I think they look pretty good! :) Sbobette
