quite nice!
doesn’t the actual balrog have a fiery whip in the lord of the rings though?
That’s one cool Balrog. Especially the color rendered one
Really amazing job with the texturing !
Very nice work going on here. Have I seen this in more detail posted else where?
Wow! Fantastic work!
Any chance of a quick run through of how you did the texture?
in order to sculpt the model over the 10 million limit I used this pretty weird workaround

since i used the multidisplacement exporter i couldn’t make multiple color maps, so iused the disp maps in lightwave as input parameter for a gradient in the color and luminosity channel, thats all, i simply used the temperature colors…
Cool, thanks a lot 
That method of splitting up the mesh and making it seamless is great, I’m going to have to give that one a shot.
I’m afraid I can’t get the second link to work though.
awsome dude real nice ! i wanna give it a shot aswel for my next project did you use any refrence ? if so could you give me a link it just looks so awsome !
Great work! A realy good texture
