~Nightmare's Texturing Creations

[Apheraz Lucent]

Revenant's armor style is sick, and I really love where the Warden is going.
Nice progress!

 

[Moy]

Thanks Aph! I will update those skins soon. Now I have 4 Projects going on. The three (3) above and a weapon model collab with someone.

Ascension Revenant has been released!

EDIT:
Revenant is added on the list with its matching description.

Warden is next. Stay tuned!

i love how the brush stroke is still quite vibrant (?) and really visible on the model. i love it

 

[Solu9]

Why I have not subscribed to your thread before I have no idea.

These are some crazy nice skins/texture you have got here. I'm looking forward to what you come up with next.

 

[Sclammerz]

Subscribing. I do like your skins, so crispy.
Excited for the next skins.

 

[Moy]

I guess I won't be continuing with those skins. I'll finish Ardenian's texture and I am out. Thanks guys!

 

[Ardenian]

That's a shame!

That's sad to hear. Every skin of you was a little highlight for me when discovering it.

Best of luck in your future though

Can I ask why you have made this decision?
Because it's really a shame man.

 

[Moy]

Nah, I might still comeback.

 

[Moy]

Okay, I am finding a good model for my next Ascension skinned unit. Those who have an idea which one, feel free to post and I'll be picking the unit that's most mentioned. I might start/release a new skin this week or after.

 

[Wasabee]

Well I would like to see a Doomguard skin!

 

[Moy]

Thread updated. Gladly I can say that I'm back. Currently, I've been working on my entry for the Mini Texturing Contest. I'll be posting WIPS soon.

 

[Heinvers]

Excellent, do try to make some more if time permits :]

 

[Moy]

Let's find a model to Nighty-fy! :>

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Here's a challenge - Huntress.

 

[-Grendel]

pit lord

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Harpy!

 

[Roland]

my my the quality is eyegasm to mah eyes. keep up the great work moymoyie.

 

[Moy]

Uhmm Pit Lord and Harpy seems interesting...

Enchantress too. I will make a skin soon not contest related.

 

[Wasabee]

Succubus.

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

I seem to remember that the Warden model had this nasty feature of not "recognizing" alpha in the past, which was again oddly enough, able to be fixed by adding a 1% transparency in model's vertex coloring, ingame. Tried that as well?

It fixed her "back wings" from showing black parts where the alpha should've been. Not sure would it work for your skin.

 

[Moy]

I have no idea how to do that

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Via triggers, set units' vertex coloring. You can add 1% transparency there.

 

[Moy]

I still don't know how to do that (triggers). I read that, that trick only works on the back wing and helmet but not on the cape. I might just continue this one, I'll just think of ways how to make it not look warden-y.

Hope this works or find something to make alpha work without triggers XD. And yep, I'm like evolving my texturing technique I'm not a fan of warcraft 3 in terms of texturing.

 

[Heinvers]

Not bad. I think that you could take some inspiration from the new legion felguard models. Keep it up :]

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Looks very promising and unique. Can't wait for final results!

Dope!

Extremely complimentary to model, flawless render, texture differences and execution of shadows, very sharp and fresh.
If you'd want to work on anything at all, it could be some very faint facial features and possibly less detailed back-end of shield (I know it's model's awful wrap tho).

I'm not the one to be easily impressed, but for you, I'd bob a curtsy.

The red glow on the shield is team colored right?
And another question, are you planning to re-touch it to fit the Captain model as well? It could serve as "upgraded" version.

 

[Moy]

possibly less detailed back-end of shield (I know it's model's awful wrap tho).

Too stretchy but I may darken it a bit. Tomorrow's slight update.

The red glow on the shield is team colored right?

A big yes!

And another question, are you planning to re-touch it to fit the Captain model as well? It could serve as "upgraded" version.

Of course, if people would want it, why not?

 

[Heinvers]

Of course, if people would want it, why not?

Make it happen!

 

[-Grendel]

you should've separated the gap at the base of his helmet more, it looks weird when they meet up at the end.

 

[Idaero Ace]

Whoa, all of them are super awesome! I need to hangout in this subforum more often, many inspiration!

 

[Moy]

Actually didn't paid attention to the helmet. Will be included in the next update. Thank you.

Whoa, all of them are super awesome! I need to hangout in this subforum more often, many inspiration!

Oooh, thanks a lot!

 

[Heinvers]

Oi,

This is quite good. It might look messy now but that's the torso messing with you if the texture there isn't crispy enough. You could go for a spiky, crystal-like look for the head part.

The blonde pure hair isn't really fitting for the mesh area. Let's just say that it looks 'questionable'. Yeah :b

Back view, pretty please.

 

[Moy]

There was actually an update, too lazy and sleepy atm. (2 am)

Haven't touched since the beginning.

That was a crown (attached to the helmet), haven't touched it yet since the beginning.

The problem with the model is that almost all of the model parts is irremovable except for the cape and teamcolored parts. I'll be showing more wip(s) tomorrow night. I'll call it a night.

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Gonna be an interesting one for sure.
Is it still for Arowanna's old contests?

 

[Moy]

It is.

 

[Heinvers]

I can't find the Archimonde model

Units\Demon\Warlock\Archemonde.blp

As for the tail and the tentacle issue, just go with that or try something golden. Either that or make him a tail :^]

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

You can always make some sort of mystical face guard that covers his nose and ends up as a crown, in something like this shape:

)(

 

[Heinvers]

Almost there. BUT, please do texture the hands more and blends the blue cape folds better. Not to mention the TC texture on the shoulder cape guard. It might be TC but it also needs to have fluid integrated shadows and highlights.

Alpha channel fiddling please.

 

[Rence Kristoff]

What unit are you texturing now?

 

[Moy]

Faceless One/Unbroken

 

[Heinvers]

That explains it. The Faceless face mesh offers loads of opportunities due to it being alpha-eable. Nice.

Though, don't go too far into Dio's early style. He had some really dark skins in the past. Skin name? :]

 

[Moy]

True.

Though, don't go too far into Dio's early style.

How come? Oh and it's still a wip.

Skin name?

Haven't thought anything about it. But the theme is demon.

 

[-Grendel]

i think you should make the mouth bigger/ wider. also, be careful where you place the teeth, there's a weird middle tooth at the lower jaw.

 

[Heinvers]

there's a weird middle tooth at the lower jaw.

Seconded. Teeth is quite tricky to work with. I know that wc3 isn't about realism but still it doesn't hurt to take a look at dentition from time to time:

 

[Stefan.K]

Would you be interested in doing Varian Wrynn skin in the future perhaps?

 

[Moy]

Sure, I actually enjoyed collabs XD

 

[stein123]

Naga sea witch?
