I believe it would be best to follow the concepts more tho

DO how can u do a tuyet without basing on the concept art?

FINALLY. i got it. Kojol's mask. took me to karzahni and back. after trying dozens of methods, i finally managed to turn the 2D base pieces to 3D

i've been looking at the Kanohi topic.

i'd say these are possible masks for Kojol:

Mask of Adaptation

Name: Unknown

Powers: Physically alters the user to adapt to surroundings, including combat situations

Users: Unknown

Reason: he has both water and air rahi. this would be excellent for him to adapt to water or air environments

Mask of Flight

Name: Kadin (KAY-din)

Powers: Grants self-propelled flight to the user

Notes: User does not need a running start to get off the ground

Users: Toa Jovan, Toa Inika Nuparu

reason: fits with his flight rahi, allows him to travel over water and through the air.

Mask of Fusion

Name: Unknown

Powers: Allows its user to forcibly fuse any two or more beings together

Notes: User can include themselves in the fusion, or strengthen/weaken natural fusions

Users: Unknown

reason: cool mask.

Mask of Sensory Aptitude

Name: Unknown

Powers: Increases the user's senses

Users: Unknown

reason: would be cool

wow thats really great!, especially the colouring.

Oh and DH554 - welcome to the team. I think there's some work around here somewhere, talk to Eeko (he's the group leader) if you have any problems/questions. and of course, we're all here to help.

EDIT: Although I don';t think the mask's powers are for us to decide, I'd go for Mask of Adaptation...sounds fun.

technically he would use it during the Final Battle

We'll probably avoid using his mask in the final battle then. He does have 42 other powers he can choose from. Great mask, though!

re: modelling style, if everyone keeps posting his stuff here, others can adjust their style to make it fit more.

this way we'll get to a consensus

Yes. I support that.

Devak - It's... beautiful...

So is this the only "person" completed so far?

-LK

Yay!! First model! Great job Devak, for the final piece, I'd make him less shiny, and a little dirty looking.

Im stil waiting for my metruan feet refs

Sorry about that Pirgah. I'm trying to find the cord that plugs my camera into the computer.

Does this mean that the animation can become its own topic now?

I could do a little bit of 3d-modeling. What format do you prefer for 3d models? I can export to:

- .3ds

- .obj

- .vtx

- .c

Quick Question: Since I am doing the Matoran template. Would it not be easier for me to create masks and make some of the Matoran themselves?

We'd be glad to have you on board! .3ds would be best, if you're not using Blender.

Sure, it'll make it easier later on if anyone wanted a mask.

By the way, Devak, could you email me the .blend file for Kojol at Eeko@Bzpower.com? One I'm trying to get a folder with all the models, and two I want tinder how you did the head.

Wow. Those r awesome! Now that we got a few models done,should I send in the next batch of concept arTs?

I started the feet w/out ref pictures, their pretty rough,but i decided to post a picture that might give you an idea of what my finished model will look like:

Credit to Duo Oratar for the hands.

^Hey that's pretty awesome, Pirgah (and Duo Oratar)! I think I might take a shot at the Great Temple and see how it works out...

Finally..TakaNuva is nearly done...he's taken forever. I still need to get the hands off D_O, and do texturing o'course, and theres one or two other details, but yeh.. this is pretty close to the final version.

I based the torso off the concept of DM Kopaka, since mine didn't include a view of the back (note to self, ask for these in future). I did try to model that ol' Toa torso, but failed miserably, so we have this.

Oh and @ElevenGuy, why don't you try the Throne of Stone? I think that theres a wonderful concept of that somwhere.

I've just finished the BASIC Great Temple 3d Concept:

sorry if the pics are bad quality.

i fiddled with Kojol's material to make it absurdly shiny (everything to it's max). i could reduce it severly to give it a dirtier look.

i've done armatures for his arms and legs, the hands in that picture are in a pose, not their natural form.

i'll add some more armor and perhaps do a few body pieces different.

the head is the same as pirgah's, i just made the eyes and head two different objects, made the eyes transparent and light-emitting.

Hey, could anyone help? I need a large, front-view image of the Great Temple. Or perhaps textures?

Can someone reply to my question: Do you guys want the new batch of concepts now?

lewathetoa, I think that they may be able to start to trickle through. How about say...three characters?

Oh and ElevenGuy - congratualtions on making Tahu! (or was it kopaka?) - I 'll check the movies for a good shot of the great temple, and maybe theres one on BS01.
