Modular Male Draenei: Legs (WIP)

Hello everyone!

--Update 16/October--

Finished the Legionnaire and Royal Leather set, test printed both with normal positions could not print the riding position yet, it was not ready when I sent the files for the printer. I Have uploaded them on Google Drive.

On Monday I will be able to test out the Riding position, the robes I think I will be able to finish on Tuesday. I lost track of time today because I was squeezing my brains to make 4 variations out of it, so far I have a Healer, an Evil variation with chains and I wanted to make a variation for a DK and Shaman (even though they do not wear cloth armor, they can wear skirts). 

I also changed the Render setting and the Background on my standard picture post. I have attached the new render to the Images. I think it is impressive how a bit of shadow and a darker background can make the image much nicer.

My prints came out awesome, I will glue the pieces that I have a create a few combinations, will be posting the miniatures with the official release.

--Update 14/October--

Almost finishing the first leg pose and while posing parts I ended mixing bits of armors and ended creating a nice combination. I really liked those combinations and I will leave them like that (still have to duplicate some parts and adjust). 

I will leave the side armor (Tassets, I believe that's its name), unmerged to the legs that way you can split and mix or take to another miniature to make a remix.

 Unfortunately, I won't be able to support all the legs and test print them all because the number of legs would be huge (4 variations x 3 sets x 3 poses = 36 legs), next time I won't tackle a project this huge (Unless is a Theme, in this case, I will add a Modular Female next theme poll).

My favorite so far is the chainmail and leg's exposed like a Barbarian. 

--End of Update --

Sharing some of the progress and a bit of my decisions regarding the sculpt of Legs. But before that a quick note, I have finished printing a few weapons, and will print more during the week, I will try to release the weapons until Sunday. I have change a bit the structure of the Google drive folder, so everything not released is on a folder Early Access (The weapons and Shields are already uploaded, what is supported is already tested).

I have some what finished the block-out of the Leg pieces that I would sculpt. Initially I was planning on making a Plate, Mail, Leather and Cloth Leg pieces but, while thinking on the best way to approach the legs, doing 4 poses of Leg for each would take too much time, because they would be 16 models.

So to keep things in time I will cut down the general scope of this, there will be a cloth armor that I will change some parts. Example One of the pictures I have added a cloth in the back and some "Purity seals" and the other there are some tubes (I will replace those for chains later on), this way I could add more bits and parts to create something somewhat different and reduce the sculpting time.

The one with the purple skirt I will add some platings to the legs (below the knees), a version without the skirt and another wearing pants without the skirt.

The one with the green skirt there will be pants underneath and there will be a version without the skirt.

The number of poses I will reduce to 3, or 2 it depends on the set, Robes won't have mounted option.

The poses will be Walk, Spread legs (One foot forward) and Ride pose. If you mirror during print it could add to a lot of variation.

Since those are too many options and poses I won't be supporting all but they will be available.

If you have a suggestion or request, please leave in the comments below.

Best regards,

Ivo
