Zelda Art Legend of Zelda Renders

[BlitzPlum]

I'll be posting any of my Legend of Zelda renders on this thread, I wonder if anyone else will make any, as well

This one's because I love Gorons, and they're possibly my favourite thing in the franchise xD
This was made quickly, so it's pretty simple and basic.

So what are renders exactly?

Anyway nice. The eyes are a bit creepy though.

 

[BlitzPlum]

A render is a 3D generated image. Using software like 3DS Max, you pose a model, set up materials and lighting. Everything is combined to make a 'render'. This is the Twilight Princess, so there aren't very good materials, but you can still get some nice results.

I might take some requests.. Any characters you'd like to see?

 

[Dragoncat]

So you take the character models and edit them, basically?

 

[BlitzPlum]

Not edit them, as such. A 3D model gets given bones, and that allows it to be animated. This is just making a pose and rendering it to make it look nice

This is the model's default T-Pose, where all animations start from.

Then this is when you pose it.

Once you have your pose, you render it so it has lighting and materials affecting it

 

[Dragoncat]

Nice. Do you somehow rip the models out of the game or start from scratch? If it's the latter, kudos. It looks exactly like it does in the game.

 

[Ventus]

Twilight Princess Zelda
Skyward Sword Zelda
Twilight Princess Ashei

please make renders of those! <3

Really like the Render of the Goron. ^_^

If you have some free time, can you make a render of Zant from Twilight Princess? :3

 

[BlitzPlum]

I'll get to those renders tomorrow, it's 1 AM here in England!
In response to Dragoncat, they're ripped from the game so I have the full quality and level of detail from Nintendo

 

[Imposer]

Can you do them with multiple characters in one? If you can could you please make one of Link flying in for the finishing blow of Demise? If that's too difficult could I get SS/TP link in the classic hands behind the head position?

 

[Skittles]

I use to know an artist that made renders from scratch...though, these are still pretty impressive...

Just curious though, how good are you at making you're own 3D models? Do you do that to? If so, I wouldn't mind seeing some of those.

I'd like to see a bunch of these on our wiki.

I'd like to see a bunch of these on our wiki.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

You don't know how great these would look on our wiki. We could really use your help!

 

[BlitzPlum]

Aww gee, thanks guys! :embarrassed:

In response to Skittles: I'm pretty amateur at modelling and haven't really taken an interest to it as much as I have with character animation. I might try it at some point, but not for a while

Ventus, one of your wishes came true!

"Tomorrow I'll wake him up extra early and make sure he gets in some last-minute practice, whether he likes it or not."
