Lowpoly Game Character

Cave Troll
(2021)

Since I am a huge fan of the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings trilogy and I loved playing the “Battle for Middle-Earth” games back in the days, I tried to create my own version of a game ready lowpoly Cave Troll.

In addition to sculpting, modelling and texturing I also animated the character with a simple rig and basic morph targets.

Modeled in Cinema 4D, sculpted and polypainted in ZBrush. Retopology was done in 3D Coat, texturing in Substance Painter. Rigging and animations were done in Cinema 4D. I used an Elephant skin displacement map for the large leathery section of the back.

To create the gear and the weapons I had to gather many pictures as reference material. Texturing was also done in Substance Painter.
