While work is moving forward on the poser-able version of this model (with help from shadowcat.. thanks!) I thought I'd drop in to post a test render of it in it's native 3D Studio Max/Character Studio form with various props attached. If anyone would be interested in the full version of this, with biped setup let me know and I'll toss it into the free stuff...

Most definately:)

UHM... YES! So when you post him he will be POSER Friendly! COOL Thanks...can never have enough badies for the goodies to tackle!

The poser friendly version is coming along, I need to take breaks from it now and then as some parts drive me nuts. (sixus, next update for you will be coming soon) After figuring out my little boo-boo with the legs I have moved on to the head and eyes. But as the head is basically a separate object, it gives me problems bending. I haven't decided if it would be best to venture into the mesh (yuk) or re-grouping again (lesser yuk, but not as neat) Not to mention that the eye joints are a pain in the you-know-what I still have some imperfections in the joints in other places, but they don't show unless there are multiple bends in play. Lately I've been playing around with poses (except the head) to discover what joints still need work, so far the biggest is that the thumbs seem to detach themselves slightly when the hand tries to grip something. But that seems to be a critical problem if you try to hold an axe, lol. Boy I sure am long winded, I'll shut-up now.

Man, we've got orcs popping up all over the place ... and just in time for Lord of the Rings! This one is great. Reminds me of the orcs of WarCraft.

Actually, that's not far off. I'm a HUGE Warhammer 40K and Fantasy hobbyist and have been making warhammer 3D models for a couple of years as tests for myself and just for fun. The base model for this guy (orc with pants and boots, no props) is being worked on for conversion to Poser 4, though I have little time to dedicate to that now. I am, however very interested in getting other people together to help share original models, convert each others meshes and generally just talk shop and work together in a closer setting than this forum... Anyway, i digress. Look for a small version of this bad boy to be offered through the free stuff soon with a LARGE (lot's of props, poses and so on) version to be in the marketplace.
