Pyritie: Unwrap looks like a mess. Use custom textures if you have to, as this isn't going to get approved at this rate. Also fix the name.

It looks ok, But some parts are incredibly inefficient. There is only need for 1 segment for the neck of the instrument, while there are multiple. Also, the "Nubs" On the head it have a giant polycount for their signifigance. Maybe use planes for those parts?

Titanhex · Oct 8, 2008

Thanks Lord_T! I took your advice and changed what you suggested. The Lute model is much better now.

Mamma_Pappa · Oct 8, 2008

Not that useful to me, but its good-looking xD
3/5

TheBlooddancer · Oct 8, 2008

May be usefull, but seems a bit to dark.- i suppose its the wood ^^
But-but-but you should rename the model file From "OinkerCubeSphere08" to Lute or something.

Titanhex · Oct 8, 2008

Yeah, for some reason when you upload to hive, it doesn't let you choose the name of the zip file or somethin. Names it the base file it started out with. In this case, I started with Oinerwinkles Sphere, 8 points.

I think to change it I'd have to change something I don't know how to change.

As for the darker color of the lute, it is cause of the wood, and cause of the wrapping. I'll take a look at the wrapping to find a better way to do it, so it's lighter. Was the only ingame texture I could find that had something I could pull off as strings.

lute seems good enough. but..........shouldn't the neck and head be a little......... slimer? right now it looks like a fat plank

Jack_Sparrow93 · Oct 8, 2008

Cool, but maybe not so useful! Good work! 4/5

Devine · Oct 8, 2008

and to high poly.
original tough

HappyTauren · Oct 8, 2008

Eww, the wrapping.

Bill_14 · Oct 8, 2008

it seems it somehow will fit right to an RPG 4/5

somecrazyhobo · Oct 8, 2008

Nice but how do you attach this (or anything else) to a model?

StaberFire · Oct 8, 2008

EPIC LUTE.

Win.

3rgytr54 · Oct 8, 2008

Uber-tastic.

yea, just what I said, great little musical lute.

Titanhex · Oct 9, 2008

Misha, I think you're right. The neck does need some slimming. Maybe could be longer too. I'll do some modifying soon.

As for the wrapping, yes, it does suck. Gonna play around with it some more. My wrapping skills have been non-existential up to this point. Course it's the only lute on WC3 (How the hell is that possible??) and it should at least be somewhat usable.

I know somewhere I can lower the poly count, and will likely do so.

8/10

The Panda · Oct 9, 2008

nice but ya really isnt useful for some people 3/5

Archangel_Tidusx · Oct 13, 2008

I made this model as a request a little while back. It's being skinned.
If anyone else wants to attempt a skin.. let me know.
3/5

Titanhex · Oct 14, 2008

Alright, gave it a bit of a fine tune. What's the verdict now?

Misha · Oct 14, 2008

seems fine ^^ keep up the good work^^

somecrazyhobo · Oct 15, 2008

Yay you fixed it

Titanhex · Oct 15, 2008

Alright, I just now fixed the wrapping on the strings and reuploaded. There's less of a fade from dark to light.

I didn't want to use a custom skin, so I'm using an ingame texture.

I could also redo the wrapping so that it's one plain, yellowish wooden color. But I think it makes the model look really really flat.

Name-Pending · Oct 16, 2008

it might just be on my end, but when i used this as an attachment it looked more like the guy had punched through the bottom of it, rather than holding it. could you possibly move the attachment point a bit lower down?

Titanhex · Oct 17, 2008

Yeah, I still need to figure out how to place the attachment point on it. I think I have an idea, but I'll have to look at some other attachments first. Will fix soon though.

Open the model up with Magos' model editor, hit Edit > Model Properties, type the name in there, then save.

The origin is where it gets held.
