3D Art Week 04

Lord of the Rings Lego Project

Last week I modeled the high and low poly versions of the ax and created a LOD group in maya.  This week I continued modeling the character pieces associated with Gimli.  First I modeled a high poly and low poly version for various character assets.  Then I UVed them and made the LOD groups in Maya.  I then exported the FBX files and did the UV snapshots for the helmet and Lego Character.

Character Models Completed:

• Gimli Lego Body Legs
• Gimli Beard
• Gimli Helm
• Gimli Ax Head
• Gimli Ax Handle
• Gimli Ax Handle Long

Other Models Completed:

• Rohirrum Helm Gold
• Rohirrum Helm Silver
• Urak-hai Helm

I then imported the FBX into the Lego library and applied textures in UE4.  I imported the texture materials for Gimli's helmet and Gimli.  For the ax and the other helms I applied basic lego materials.

I then put all the pieces together using blueprints and compiled them (I did not make the elf helm).

Here is the final picture of Gimli in scene:
