General info about the modification:
Trudvang is a mod project for Unreal Engine 3. It is an rpg mod based on one of the most popular swedish paper roleplaying games on the market. At the moment we are in concept and planning stage. We are working with the original game community to create a digital version of the roleplaying world that will be as close to the world described by Riotminds as possible. So there is a lot of knowledge and a lot of artistical talent in the team already.
We also have some members of the development team with previous experience from the game industry. We have permission from the company behind the original game to create a mod based on their game world. At the moment our focus is on planning and concepts, we will then focus on creating a playable demo. This will later be shown to the community so everyone will get an idea of what we are trying to make. Also this will work as a test for us to see how well we can work together as a team.
At the moment we have some concept work done, to get an idea of the style we are going for check our gallery.

Game world info:
Trudvang is a fantasy world very much influenced by ancient nordic mythology, tales and legends. It is a dark world where the powers of nature are greater than men, elves and dwarves. In the darkness of the deep forests ancient secets lie hidden under moss covered rocks, great treasures lie hidden in the cold water of the forest lakes.
Trolls hide in the shadows as frightened animals during the daytime, but in the night, when the sun goes down and the night comes they leave their hiding places. Hear the sound of an owl in the distance. Behind a that big rock you think you hear the sound of branches breaking, and in the dark of the night you are almost sure you can see yellow eyes watching every step you take from a distance...
Trudvang is a world filled with great mystery and legends, it is a dark setting where you always have the feeling that you are not quite safe. You are only a small character in a greater story but you can and must make a difference anyway.
We are inspired by the works of John Bauer, the finish national epos Kalevala, the beowulf legends but most of all ancient nordic mythology and legends.

Okay so I thought Id let you know what our new modelers are capable of. So I added some models they have made in the gallery. These models are not made for our mod since we haven't begun producing assets yet but I add them here just to give you an idea of what it might look like. Some of these models are work in progress.
The models are made by Nick G Gizelis: Noisyknuckles.com
And David Chauderlot: Davidchauder.com
Some of the images:
We will soon be ready to start working on assets for the demo or pre-release version. So I hope I will be able to post some models made exclusively for our mod soon.

beautiful concept art
must be using zbrush if i assume correct, i want zbrush!!!!! its like a hack compare to other 3d programs from what iv heard
dood. Your guys' models/concept art are like, uber-excellant, almost impossibly :> I wish you well on this project, don't ever ever let it start to degrade :D
where the hell did you find your modeller? It ain't normal for people who can ask 500$ for a model to give it away for free - and so quickly. Hell, Nick G is great its just odd he models with XSI. Never seen anyone use ot before, except for HL2 mods.
Are you sure there is an importer ofr XSI files with Unreal Engine 3? I guess there should be, but since XSI is only prominent with Half-Life 2, I wouldn't know about it.
Anyway. His meshes are clean, his normal maps are perfect. What more can you ask for?
I joked when I first glanced at a concept and said this must be a swedish dude making this. And what do you know. Hjort, råddjur, ren. Fett snygga grejjer!
keep it up guys, looking forward to this one!
+watch
yep he did, I added a link to his deviantart page as a comment to all images as you will notice. :)
@SinKing: Perkan made those drawings, check him out here.
Really interesting idea and some amazing concepts, can't wait to see how this turns out!
Beautiful concepts man! Great pencil skills you've got there!
Are all of these hand-drawn and scanned, or do you use some additional techniques on the pictures?
