Tauren Thaumaturge model needs skin!

This is a model for the Tauren Thaumaturge, an intelligence-based hero for the tauren race that my team and I are attempting to create. We may have a skinner that would work on it, but I figured that a little competition might just improve our results.

Anyway, I'm looking for a skinner to skin this guy. Unfortunately, here's the catch: I had to give him two textures in order to fit all of his pieces on the UVW...

*cringes in expectation of flying foodstuffs*

I have posted the .tga files in colored and uncolored formats, along with guides to what they mean below. Also, tomorrow I will get an MDX file prepared and will send it to anyone who'd like to take a crack at skinning this guy. If we use your skin, you will be considered part of our team and granted full access to our WIP material for testing purposes. Obviously, if I send you the model, do not send it around, as we'd like to keep control over our content until we are ready to release it.


Anyway, on with the guides!





1. Chest/Shoulders/Beer Gut, front view
2. Bangs 1 (The ones that hang just in front of the ears/horns
3. Thick hair that hangs over the back
4. Bangs 2 (thicker ones that hang overtop of the horns)
5. First row of hair that juts just above his eyebrows (obviously, this will mostly be alphaed out)
6. All of the other rows of hair that stick from the bulk of his mane (likewise)
7. Face, front view
8. Horn, front view
9. Long braids
10. Ear, side view
11. Mane (This is the bulky part, seen from above. The point on the left side of it lies over his right shoulder, while the point at the bottom stops at the base of his skull)
12. Thick locks that hang behind horns on the side of the neck
13. Thick locks that hang in front of shoulders
14. Tooth
15. Tail, side view
16. Leg, minus the hooves, side view
17. Hand and upper arm, palm view
18. Hand and upper arm, back of hand view
19. Hoof, when seen from above
20. Back
21. Thumb







22. Main beam of totem
23. Thicker top end of the totem. The right half is the front of the totem.
24. Thick bands that encircle totem. Again, right half is the front.
25. Totem wings
26. Totem wing rims
27. Necklace (obviously, this will be mostly alphaed out)
28. Horn ring (likewise)
29. Flap that covers the bag on his right hip (half of it, seen from above)
30. Side view of his hip bag
31. Front view of his hip bag
32. Loincloth thingy. The flaps along the bottom are intended to be alphaed to look like hair.
33. Parts of his little magic string of giant beads. These planes need to have circles inscribed within them, with the rest alphaed out. They will always face the camera, so as to create the illusion of spheres (like the necklace on the Blademaster). The larger one is for the largest bead, while the rest of the beads alternate between using the right and left ones
34. Loincloth braids
35. Top/Bottom of totem
36. Belt

Good luck, and thanks in advance!

Oops. Almost forgot. The Thaumaturge is based off of this concept art by Chris Metzen.

can i have that model please!! (plus the skin of course)

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here. Are you asking for a finished model and skin for your use, or are you wanting to help skin him?

i ment that i want to use the model for in a world of warcraft project. i would help skinning if i could but i don't have the right equipment for that and i never did that before, so sorry. Please say: yes when i ask to have him. I need him for my world of warcraft map, pleeeeeeeaaaaaaaseeeeee. By the way, i wouldn't add the totme in his hands, i would let it be and make a kind of druid of him

;) :)

r u stupid or what? of course he's not gonna give you the model...

I can see TiGiL frowning.

spelled it wrong... and actualy i can see him snorting in anger..

Hmm... I'm not angry, but they are correct. At some point in the future we will release all of our material. At the moment, however, all of our models remain exclusively ours (hopefully).

except a few people might *cough* *cough* leak some models...

...
...

a battlechief approaches me with a mean loking axe.

It was a joke 'onest.

Aye, that's the fear.

ok, keep the model but please make another for me :( please

Okay, so could we maybe get a skinner in addition to freeloaders? I don't think that's too much to ask... Bump... one last chance, thread.
