To be honest.... It's going to be a pain

I'll look into it when I've done the 6 statues and the textures.

It was easy for the Devs to pose an already modelled NPC with armour, but it's not so easy to change the position once it's been finalised as a statue.

I prefer the Augustus salute too. It definitely gives it more of a leader feel

Is the statue rigged?

It pretty obviously used to be rigged. The old ***** Elf head preset on an NPC with armour, to be specific.
But now the only skeleton is a dummy one for inanimate objects, which means the pose is now part of the overall form.

Looking at it again in the op… the statue itself looks surprisingly… low quality tbh. Not blaming the OP, I'm going to guess that's due to Larian.

Yeah, it's very low poly, with all the detail coming from the Normal map.

Holy ****. I just discovered that concept art. Balduran was supposed to be european look with a beard.
We go from a manly bearded European to a Chinese man trying not to **** himself.
Larian, i hate you. For licking the feet of LGBTs and for rushing act 3.

That larian one looks like a ungodly mixture of ***** and ******. Fat lips, slanted eyes, all the while he tries to hold in his ****.
I HATE LARIAN.

Ah another character that was baffling to me.
Why the **** is he an scrawny little asian. His name is Cazador Szarr. Make him a spanish man instead.

Well you see the Spanish are Europeans, so that was obviously a no-no. lol

What's the feasibility of creating a statue like this by creating a similar character from the parts in blender, adjusting the pose, and then some manual texturing with stone materials?

It's currently being discussed, but it's going to be difficult

I am actually going to use this. This is honestly great.
Please make sure that when you've deasianified Balduran, to make a deasianified roman salute Balduran to go with it.

Maybe he was deemed to be too much of a "heroic straight white man figure". Unacceptable by leftist standards.
