3-D Models > Jupiter Statue

Objective:
  • Create a low-polygon statue of the Roman god Jupiter to be imported into a customized module for the game Neverwinter Nights.
Analysis:
  • The statue is based on a photograph of an actual statue of in Rome that I found on the internet.
  • In order to save time, Jupiter's face was downloaded from Turbosquid and his body, the hawk on his staff and the goddess in his right hand were exported from Neverwinter Nights. I modeled everything else in the scene in Rhino 3D.
  • The statue is rather crude because the allowed polygon limit in Neverwinter Nights is extremely low. My initial attempts to import a higher polygon version of the statue into the game crashed it. I was ultimately able to import the model successfully once I dropped the poly count.
