Ogre Model

[dethret]

Hello!
I've always thought that the Ogre and Troll models are somewhat ugly. When I look at
the art by Keith Parkinsson for EQ the ingame ogres and trolls look nothing like the art,
so I decided I was going to make my own ogre and troll models so the look more like the artwork. But I also wanted to keep the low-poly quality and feel of the original EQ
models.

So here follows some pictures of the ogre model so far.

I will probably pull the head upwards a bit more to give him a neck.

Notice how they are more muscular than the current models.

Let me know what you think, also, if anyone wants to make textures that would be
awesome!

Interesting post. Keep up the good work! I Would love to have more character models to download for the game.

I like it, looks like a good project [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Would the box art ogre have had slightly longer legs? Not trying to poke holes, just a thought [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yes, I was thinking the same thing, the proportions are not the best, and I am going to work on them a bit more.

Overall do you like the style and does it feel EverQuesty?

for reference, would you be able to post how the current ogre/troll polys look without textures?

Here is a reworked version of the ogre and some comparison shots:

The original ogre should be a bit wider, but the program messed it up.
The height is still correct though.

This is really cool. I have a 24 ogre warrior and I can't play it due to it's fatness and overall size tbh. Any change to this model would be an improvement imo. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I can't seem to find them, but there are some of the original alpha ogre models floating around somewhere. They looked similar to the ogres in the opening cinematic found at the 1:42 mark of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym9hIEbnijw

I really like the ogres and trolls I think they have tons of character, though I respect what you are doing. Are you intending to use these in the game?
