Possible Projects Interest

[cranlox]

Here I was making a version of Belit, but the bracelet stays floating, I don't know why.
I modeled the jewelry and exported it without generating a texture so that it was lighter and faster to create.
I also took the liberty of making him a sword, but I don't know if he uses it or uses axes or daggers, apparently he uses a wide variety of things, I guess depending on what you want you could choose it.
A necklace with a ruby ��in the center is currently being processed.

Very Nice Cranlox. Thank you.

I can fix the floating items when you're done.

Belit usually uses a sword, so that works.

There is actually no "red" on her outfit. That's a lighter tone of brown that the entire outfit has, while the darker color is due to shading.

The second, and last enemy pack for Middle Earth is finished.

Enemy Pack 2

All models and skins are from "Battle for Middle Earth" 1 and 2, either default or from mods, probably from the modder Mathijs once more.

Three versions of the Nazgul;

On foot, rigged to Gren's stripped down Taskmaster. FFvt3R only

On horse and on Fell Beast - rigged to Beyonder's Horse (with his skin) and "Sam the Eagle".+, respectfully.

A Balrog, rigged to Tj Gorilla_brute. Probably a mistake since both the gorilla and the Balrog weren't easy to work with. Comes with an alternate skin.

A Cave Troll, rigged to Gren's Wrecker. Alternate skins provided for different types of trolls

These four should work with both games.

Last, a standard orc, rigged to the stripped down Taskmaster again. For FFvt3R only.

Some of these might need to be resized.

Now the best of my imports, but I think usable. They appear a bit dark even working with their lighting.

I left in some additional, unrigged, nif versions of some of them for anyone who wants to check out.

Uploaded to the Middle Earth folder.

[cranlox]

Very good, you have made a great contribution to Middle Earth.
Thanks for sharing your work. I will surely update the Conan girl tomorrow.

[RommyNa]

Thanks!!!!

[BentonGrey]

All of these guys are looking really great!  I love the Nazgul riding the monster!

[cranlox]

I made a small update to the textures and skins, changing them to brown based on one of the images, I also made some touch-ups to the hand and chest colors

I put a bracelet on the free arm and tried to put the sheath of Fandral's sword on the belt and tried to export the sword and its texture but it also ended up floating and not matching the animation.

Working on Cranlox's Belit -

A fine start by Cranlox, but unfortunately the changes he made to the mesh broke it in Blender and it wouldn't import, so I had to start from scratch;

1)Used vxfemale2 for a base, as I think that was the same base as Cranlox's - at least they use the same skin.

2) Imported to Blender and moved it onto the taskmistress for its base, since that already had a sword/ sheath and animations for them. The finger's are set up totally different between the two, so I had to put them on the basic hand area - losing them being able to bend bending.

3) Kept the vxfemale2 hair. I had to change the skin in the hand area as they were now in a different location. Changed the calf area of the skin to a basic brown. The face is now from Justintyme's Circe.

4) added wristbands: Submariner_REN by Renegade. Added boot tops from Gren's Giant Man 2 (Bill Foster)


A few things to add to it to make it closer to the comics character.

[DoctorRuina]

Grenadier did a Red Sonja mesh. With a few adjustments it could become Bêlit.

[DoctorRuina]

Cranlox, when the pieces are floating, delete the tree niskininstance and then attach the piece directly where you want it to be

"For example: if it's a hair piece.. you delete the NiSkinInstance, then instead of attaching it to the Scene Root, it'll go on the Head Node."

[Randomdays]

I was going to mention that, but I don't have a lot of experience with it and I'm still experimenting on getting it straight.

I've got 2 Red Sonjas; One by Daglob, also on Taskmistress.

The Red Sonja Gren is actually by SA, who usually doesn't give himself credit for his work. I think its based off of DG's since he is mentioned in the readme.

Both are very nice, but I'm pretty happy with how Belit is turning out. Cranlox's base skin is good, and all she needs is a necklace, another armband and maybe some earrings to match the picture.

[cranlox]

In the link I uploaded below the black background photo with the sword resting on Belit, she has 3 modeled bracelets (in my minimum, sorry, I can't lower the poly level in the program any more, on the other hand they worked well for me, discounting the floating) and a kind of leather that covers the front part of her belly, which is a screenshot of the same first comic you sent me, that's what's missing from your version (whether it's from my model or otherwise, it's missing the shredding), I started modeling a necklace today, which is captured and textured. I'll upload it in a link below

[Randomdays]

Yep - I'll be adding the other pieces when I can, though I couldn't work with your version directly, I ought to be able to export the pieces off of it in nifskope as obj files, and then bring them into Blender.

In Blender, I should be able to take any armband and change its shape and size for the upper band and even attach some thin versions as earrings

[cranlox]

I'm working on King Kull, using a frontal image of the action figure, from there I'll try to animate it and generate variants.
The base is very low. But with what I've been learning with the turtles I think I can go up to something more interesting.
I don't know if you'd be interested in seeing if something comes out like how I intend to mount it on a skeleton and make it look similar to your mega Conan?

[DoctorRuina]

Great new characters for the game! I especially love those Middle Earth monsters.  

[DoctorRuina]

Oh, I am doing the hero files for the Enforcers, but Fancy Dan is not downloadable, cranlox.

[cranlox]

I don't know what happened, RD told me that something had been uploaded wrong to the post here is the link again

https://www.mediafire.com/file/3waarqtvwi767w8/FANCY_DAN.rar/file

[Randomdays]

Cranlox - your King Kull is looking good!

Belit - MY final version, I think. Copied one of the armbands in Blender, enlarged and moved it to the upper arm. Copied part of it again, reduced it in size, copied THAT again, and moved them to the head for earrings.

Cranlox's loincloth was a bit high poly for just a small piece - 11,000 polys, compared to 1,200 for everything else altogether. Used a modified taskmistress loincloth instead (only 8 polys.)

Added the necklace to Cranlox's base skin itself, instead of a separate nifskoped item.

Over all, pretty happy with the final result. Team effort I think between me and Cranlox. Thanks!

Uploaded in Ancient Heroes/ Fantasy next to Conan. For FFvt3R only

[cranlox]

Great job on the version, always a pleasure to help. Sorry I can't lower the polygon count, it's definitely due to the generation gap between programs.

I'm going to download Belit so Conan has company.

[Randomdays]

He'll have to choose between Belit and Red Sonja.

I think the other women important to him in the stories were "Valeria of the Red Brotherhood" in "Red Nails", and Zenobia, his wife when he was King of Aquilonia.

He had a son in the books as well, "Conn", but he wasn't created by REH so he's not really official, for me at least.

[cranlox]

If you want to tackle something more I'd be happy to help, I just uploaded King Kull in my thread, see what you think, it was really fun to play with him and the turtles, and I learned something almost totally useless since it's over polygonal as you explained.

If I were Conan, I would choose Red Sonya without hesitation. First, I like her more. Second, I once won quite well on a slot with Red Sonya in a casino and since then I like her even more. It wasn't much money, but it was enough to save the night.

[Randomdays]

I think I'm happy with the Marvel versions of the characters, thanks.

I'm going to look at Kull and the characters you pm'd me about, and I need to finish the LotR characters I want to do (allies - dwarfs, elves, and men)

There's still a few items on my list, some I can do, and some that I can't

One of the characters who's been on my list for awhile that I think no one has done, if you want to try doing him,  is Ulysses Bloodstone . I think he wouldn't be hard to do as a traditional skin and nifskoped character.

[cranlox]

I tried to test how the lower part of Dr Zin's clothes would look to complete the outfit, but it ended up floating, the hair is Kazar's and the base is Dr Savage with the modified collar, the legs would not be with the pants inflated on the side.
But it was a first start.

[DoctorRuina]

Thanks cranlox for the Fancy Dan!
This Bêlit looks beautiful!
And this model looks perfect for Ulysses Bloodstone with some adjustements.

[Randomdays]

Thanks guys

Cranlox - great start on Bloodstone!

[BentonGrey]

Looking good so far!

Marvel REH King Kull;

I tried working with with Cranlox's great import, but in between the high poly count (11k) and some other problems with the mesh, I had to put it aside and start from scratch.

Base mesh, belt, and armature - Gren's Wrecker to have the axe animations.

Hair - male_basic_hair_redux

front armor plate and shortened loincoth - Gren's Taskmaster - moved around a bit to make them fit.

shoulder strap studs - Gren's Taskmaster

Axe - from the LotR Gimli import I just did.

Crown - from the models resource.

Base skin - One of Zulu Delta's Hercules skins.

Kitbashed;

added the straps to the upper chest, changed the loincloth to red

swapped the head part of the skin with the one from his Ka-Zar, changed the hair and eyebrows to black, and added a small scar under the right eye.

the skin for for the armor plate is from the action figure pictures.

Not sure if I'll add the arm guard or not.

I think Cranlox's version looks better over all, but unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work.

I'll probably release it tomorrow after some tweaking. For FFvt3R only.

[heroidosilencio]

Fantastic!!!
Is Ulysses Bloodstone and Kull ready for downloadUlysses Bloodstone?

[RommyNa]

It seems to me that someone stole an ax in Middle Earth

[cranlox]

I'm sorry you couldn't and I'm sure you put in your best effort, you solved it well within what was there from what I can see, it's nice!
I was trying another site to make models but it shows me the download in fbx that I can't open, I don't know if the number of polygons is high or not. Could you check that if they are high or if they are usable?
I made the stone golem of Elena of Avalor "charoca" as a test (
