Chests of Pearls Blue + Black

An Item model I created for my mur'loc maps quests involving obtaining the favor of naga sirens for powerful items, I had never originally planned on uploading it until a person named Ardenian created a very nice (if Unnecessary) skin for the wc3 item chest which closely resembled my model:

created over the space of about 3 months I started by turning the chest forwards for it to be easier to edit the mesh and animate, I never ended up moving it back, I personally prefer the chest facing forwards, so for those of you who prefer the chest to be on an angle, you'll find it very hard to do that with the mesh alone, i'd advise you to take the root bone, and rotate it at the beginning and ending frames of all animations, to what ever angle you like. I will not be doing this for you, how ever.

I noticed most of my uploads have 2 models in them, out of sheer boredom I decided to make a second version without the black pearl, so I replaced the black pearl with another blue pearl, changed the purple glows to blue, and changed the purple ghost to a blue star. the original plan was to have 5 purple ghosts orbiting the black pearl, but I only ended up rigging 1 because I thought it would look too cluttered and hard to see inside the glows.

I will be uploading another version of this chest with the original gold pile restored along with gold coins and gems UV Wrapped onto the icon texture of Gem of Truesight inspired by HammerFist132's HQ Treasure Chest:

give credits as the murloc bearing my name ''kellym0 god of the mur'locs'' and change this model as you see fit.

''Oww.. they might be a little too glowy.. can you lessen their glow by a bit? or are they less glowy ingame?''

in game they are just as glowy, they are meant to be magical looking. I made them more glowy then they were originally, because im obsessed with glowyness. how ever if you click the item the portrait shows the pearls in better detail, so you can see them better. if you think they are too glowy, you can rig the blue generic glow X material to have less alpha, so they appear to glow weaker if you like.

''also.. their stack-y-ness is kinda odd.. they should be more like a mound than a pyramid''

My image was a stacked pyramid of marbles, only instead of marbles they are magic pearls. a mound wouldn't be reasonable because of a few reasons. but mostly because im lazy. a mound would be really complicated and hard to make, because of vertex clipping, so to avoid it, I stacked them.

thank you Mike glad you like it

thank you Erindeir glad you also liked it -- but im not sure il be making a ''pearl'' item, not sure yet. that seems kind of simple looking.
