For my advance Maya class (129A), we are creating the cave troll from "Lord of the Rings" start to finish according to the industry-standard pipeline for creating characters. Our first assignment is to do a little visdev piece of the troll in Balin's tomb (or somewhere in Moria). What Courtney calls "the juice," Dave calls a "glory shot." This is what I've come up with so far. I'll finish the thing off tomorrow, and hopefully it'll be some kind of awesome... --L
