first post: Tahoro the Wogi

[Neox]

This is my Cg-Talk-CHallenge-Entry :)

The Story behind this creature:
A Big Guy and his smaller fellow, Tahoro the Big Guy is a Wogi, the short version for Woodgiant, just a huge guy living in the woods near the coast area of Harlindon, he's not that smart but with his arm range of a little more than 4 Meters he is a good fighter.

im very sad that my companion kioku got kicked back 2 weeeks, because of a cumputer crash, so i had to upload my work alone :(

I dcided to give the model to the public, i did it in my freetime and i'll definately will finish it, but if a lot of beginners will learn from it, then i think its a good thing to give it away and here are some turnarounds

shaded Model - Avi DivX 5.02 (http://neox.gfx-scene.de/public/CG-Talk_Challenge/LotR/Tahoro_model.avi)

Base Mesh - Avi DivX 5.02 (http://neox.gfx-scene.de/public/CG-Talk_Challenge/LotR/Tahoro_base.avi)

now i have to find someone who helps me with a server with enough bandwith and traffic to give the model away, you know someone?

Man, this is really nice. I'm glad you posted it so that noobs, like myself, can learn from it. I am sticking to lo-poly environments for now, but I hope to move into your realm some day.

Again, excellent work.

Cheers! :chug:

[Neox]
