DonDustin: very useful model with a creative concept

 

[Lore-Wolf]

well at least no more purple cubes XD still texture looks a bit weird. but cool model

 

[Mechanical Man]

roof texture isn't a good choice imo

It's team coloured

And yeah, I was too lazy to find a better texture for it.

 

[Scythy Dervish]

in my opinion the roof texture is ok but i think this would look better with a birth animation

 

[Deolrin]

Yes, the texture on the balloon doesn't looks too pretty. The model itself is well done and the particles look cool, but you have to change the internal name. Also, I'd recommend adding something like "weights" to the sides of the "basket"\"hull", like a few sacks of sand.

 

[Alfagar]

Yay, a battering ram with a balloon, transporting balloon, dude, balloon army!

 

[J-Dogg]

weird but nice model....and +point for the custom animations.

4\5
6 kb!!!

 

[War_Golum]

i think its unuseful

 

[Darkfang]

I think the baloon roof should be really bigger, since like you see in any baloon phothos, they really expand when flying. The roof texture could easily be done with many textures in-game, Or a weird patched one custom skin. Else you can use the goblin zeppelin skin with some variations!

Nice looks like the balloons of Populous - The Beginning would love to see that game remade in warcraft...

Does it have attachments, so you can attach units in the balloon? So you can see there is a unit inside, and what kind of unit?

Populous the Beginning was actually the inspiration behind this model.
However, that game cannot properly be remade in warcraft 3 because terrain deformations cause wc3 to desync very easily.

Also, this model doesn't have an attachment points.

 

[NeoFight]

Yeah you're right.. But without the terrain deformation then... Spells like Volcano, Lightning, etc are already in WC3 and most of the spells are easily made..

But there is one thing that will be very hard I guess, and thats the system that all units can be thrown for example in the water by the force of for example a lighting strike etc. There are some knockback systems in WC3, but I don't think it will ever work like it does with Populous..

The knockback and throwing units around wouldn't be that hard at all.

But a populous map without the terrain altering spells would be pointless.
Also, the wc3 volcano is nothing compared to the one seen in populous.
