Ya’mon! The Troll Models Revealed in Artcraft

The Troll model updates be jamming in the latest Artcraft!

Finishing off the character model updates before Warlords of Draenor launches are the trolls. The latest Artcraft shows off both the male and female trolls together.

One of the unique challenges for the Troll models were their tusks. In the character customization options, you have the ability to select from a number of tusk “styles.” While other race models (like the Tauren) have similar customization options, the additional modeling, texturing, and animation articulation of the Troll face—and mouth especially—made this a distinctive challenge. We actually had to model the Troll with a flat lower lip; then, for each facial customization option, we went in and posed their lips to naturally wrap around each tusk option.

All that’s left is the male Night Elf models. Hopefully we see those before the expansion launches.
