Entry for the 29th Modeling Contest.

Those are two frog-like little creatures that team up as a squad which craft potions and whatnot. You might want to raise the scale in-game, but they're meant to be small. Art - Movespeed is 150, and the attack point is around 1 second. Spell Slam animation, in which they spill the cauldron's content, is meant for melee/short range.

Missile will be uploaded shortly.

EDIT - 9/7: Changed nothing at the model but its name, with which I was unsatisfied. :p

MODERATION Approved All-around great and well executed model with custom mesh and animations. Winner of the 29th Modeling contest. Has all of the required animations, attachment points, ect.
Would be awesome if the contents of the cauldron spilled out when it falls over in the Death animation.

FROGFOLK, FROGFOLK, FROGFOLK.
Oh.. that would make complete sense. I might update it until the deadline.

And yeah, Frogfolk is a name which bugs me a bit. I'm lack of name ideas. I've seen Grippli as a toad like race but sounds a bit weird..

I love it. One of my favorites from the Contest, because it's just so simple, involves frogs, has a cauldron, and frogs, and creatively utilizes the Faerie Dragon texture, all hail the hypnotoad, and the one guy breathing fire, hypnotoad hail him, as well as the cool melee-attack animaLL HAIL THE HYPNOTOAD

Seriously, though, even the name is really creative. "Frogfolk Potioneer"? Would never have thought. (if you don't like it, what about "Slith" or "Kappa" or "Sahuagin" or "Kuo-Toa" or "Piscine" (or some form of that) or "Caudate" or "Caecilian"?)

Alright, real-comment-tiem.

This is pretty fantastic. The word that comes to mind, that this thing is positively drenched with, is "whimsical". This model is just really cute, very creative, and well-executed (in fact, the only thing missing I see is a black/TC backplane for the Portrait animations).

I was really hoping this Contest, someone would do something having to do with a cauldron; I just think it's a great idea & a real untapped market. And while I'll admit I was hoping for either a Troll or an Undead dude to be using it, I can't lie; your Frogfolk are nifty. The use of the Faerie Dragon skin was superb.

It was great how you had them both doing different tasks; the heart of the "squad" Theme idea, if I may say so. And the potion being TC... Not bad.

Good luck in the Contest!

Stand and Stand 2 aren't really that different.
Shouldn't the contents of the cauldron be expelled during death animation?
Spell slam seems to have a limited purpose (melee attack/spell?).
I'd leave it at 4.5/5 more for originality than execution.

Quick Question: In game the colour of the murlocs are different to the way it is portrayed on the model viewer. Just wanted to check if this was correct.

I should note that I have not altered any of the colour tintings on the World Editor.

you're using custom texture in your map which overrides the ingame skin that this model use

Oh my goodness. I have been studying how to make models so I can make a cute frog-man race.

This is amazing!
