wow that talk is sooooo amazing

 

[SuPa-]

VERY impressive, that deserves some rep ;-)

[Dionesiist]

It's too sudden in my opinion... sorry, but it just seems so to me...

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Are you familiar with the character? In AotZ he is a freakishly twitchy and overly hyperactive imp, meaning a sudden attack would be fitting. But I'll look into it and see if it can be improved upon, sure.

EDIT: Messed with it a bit

[THE_END]

Damn second attack ani is pretty sweet

 

[Deleted member 126647]

 

[THE_END]

Which one is that for?
The possession one?
What about the meteor lookin one?

 

[Deleted member 126647]

The new one is for possession and the blink to corpse spell.

The Spell Throw is for meteor and fireball.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Hehe, death anim is sweet.

Though maybe he have some sort of convulsion right about 3 seconds after he hits the ground. And by convulsion I mean something in the likes of his legs and arms going crazy for a split second.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Problem I find with that, WILL, is that sometimes when death animation are too long they get cut off by the dissipate, so the convulsion keyframes would only be wasted space. Good idea though, thanks.

This little dude is done.

 

[Pyritie]

Holy crap that's good.

Now how'd you get them into gifs? Is that a milkshape thing or what?

EDIT: Never mind, saw an earlier post. Also, that imp looks a lot like the wow imps, very similar animations and all.

EDIT2: Yay 200th post!

 

[THE_END]

Ohmygodholyshitonashingle Chriz
That is unbelievable
That lil fireball he has is awesome

 

[Dionesiist]

Pyritie, WoW imps have less interesting anims so Chriz. pwns them

 

[Deleted member 126647]

The model was made to replace a WoW model in AotZ, so it could be accepted at Wc3c. MC ! based his model on the WoW imp (conceptually) but it has its differences.

I just added my own twist to the animations, which were of course also made from scratch.

 

[Pyritie]

Ah, so that's why they look similar.

Your anims are much more interesting though! I especially like the stand 2 anim with the fireball ^_^

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Now onto myriad.

Seriously, those anims are just too damn good.

And I'm pretty sure the dissipate cutting off death anims thing is because of a certain field in the object editor called "Death time". But I've never experienced with it.

 

[Dionesiist]

Yeah, bring on that rotten bastard

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Yeah, I suppose he would be my next job.

It actually looks like I might finally finish all my jobs and be free, for once!

I might just have to throw myself a party after that.

 

[Pyritie]

If, for example, the death anim took 3 seconds, and the dissipate took 3.5, then under Death Time in the object editor you add them together to make 6.5. Or add a bit extra just in case.

If you have a hero whose model has no dissipate animation, and if the death anim is 3 secs, if you set the Death Time to 3 secs, the corpse dissapears, but if you set it to 6 secs then the hero plays the death anim, then goes transparent when after for the remaining time of the Death Time (i.e. when the dissipate anim would play if it had one)

So you could make the death anim be 10 seconds if you really want it to. Just make sure that the death time is set up correctly.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

True, but it would be too much hassle since this is going to be a public resource.

I'd rather make a quick and easy death, so that way nobody has to fumble around with in game parameters, especially because of all the noobish complaints I'd get all the time.

 

[Dionesiist]

It is?

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Yes, it is. MC ! will release it once Wc3c is back up and running, along with Myriad.

 

[Dionesiist]

Myriad is finished?

 

[Deleted member 126647]

No, I meant when he gets animated he will also be released, I don't work that fast.

 

[Dionesiist]

Ah, ok But don't forget to post some previews

 

[Deleted member 126647]

My latest project, for Tides of Blood. Myriad is not currently needed for AotZ, so I won't start working on him until he is.

All you see here is by erwtenpeller.

I rigged the model on to a bone structure now and he has all the basic animations (which I've tweaked and adjusted to fit the new model).

I'll reveal to you guys which model's bone structure and base animations I've used once this guy is completely finished, but trust me, they look good.

Now I have to make the custom animations for his new skillset and work on his portrait.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Oh my god, that skin is awesome. So is the model.

 

[Pyritie]

He reminds me of a hedgehog with all of those spikes all over him. But Will, as he said, the model and skin was all by erwt.

 

[Dionesiist]

OMG, Erwt actually edited a model? :O

 

[Deleted member 126647]

erwt MADE the Trike you know, and he edited the Inquisitor.

 

[Dionesiist]

No, I meant I read a post by Erwt in which he said he'd rather shape something from scratch than edit the model...

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Oh, well he's had a change of heart.

Glows.

 

[THE_END]

He looksa A-SO NICE!

 

[DwarfZealot]

WOW that is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cool especially cuz its a dwarf, i am absolutly in love with this model and skin erwtenpeller you are AMAZINGG!!!(chriz. ur amazing to lol)

correct me if i'm wrong but is that the grunt bone structure i see?

 

[erwtenpeller]

No, I meant I read a post by Erwt in which he said he'd rather shape something from scratch than edit the model...

I'd never touch software like vertex modifyer or magos, thats more what i was aiming at. At the time i didnt even know it was possible to import geometry and bones into max. Now that it is possible though, it is a verry nice timesaver.

At the moment i'm working on a model for tides that is fully from scratch, though.

Nice thread chriz! This entire subforum is like a schrine to you

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Sped the gif up to the speed he would most likely be running at in the spell, but I personally don't know the details.

 

[erwtenpeller]

Funtastic.

 

[Pyritie]

Does he ram stuff with his hellmit? ^_^

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Oh yes, yes he does.

He's the Juggernaut, bitch.

 

[SuPa-]

LMFAO! My bro showed me that video of the juggernaut
YOU CAN'T HURT ME, I'M THE JUGGERNAUT BITCH!

 

[Deleted member 126647]

He jumps in the air and bashes a unit into the ground, it's called Browbeat.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

He's the Juggernaut, bitch.

Someone has to do that quote as an actual spell sound. With some nice dwarf accent, it would be great.

 

[camel's_hump]

He should be suspended at the highest point in his jump for a fraction longer so it doesn't look like he's just jumping, giving it more of a slamming down appearance.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Did, it looks quite awkward. The spell will be triggered to make him fly to the unit and fall to the right height, etc. They could probably set the air time themselves. Thanks for the input though.

 

[THE_END]

That looks awesome Chriz.
And I'm guessin thats just a random texture error that doesn't show in game?

 

[Deleted member 126647]

That's an in-max shot, so yes, it will look flawless in game (texture-wise).
