Elenai: Approved: works ingame and is quite nice.

BlinkBoy: Back to pending, the death animation requires the building to fall with the explosion, and Decay should be static, no meshes moving down, that's all, well done, you have improved quite a lot ever since the fotress, just a few details.

Still requires the suggested improvements for approval.

Elenai: Back to approved, the animations have been done as you requested. And please let this remain approved.

BlinkBoy: Certainly, he has updated the model and fullfilled making a Complete model for once. It shall remain approved.

Looks really cool ... but it has quite a bit of polies :/

It's not even 1000...

700 is normal for WC3 model.

For a WC3 building, 2000 is normal....

whell ... stilll if you look at it it looks like a few boxes

A few boxes? Go in magos and zoom in on the details.

Good size!

I like it as usual

Looks great. but as usual I will make some rant

I hoped for construction mesh, which appears only when building being built (ex. planks, girders). And you should add some events and attachments. For events, use ubersplat of human barracks and sound of humanbuildinglarge. Sprite attachments are needed to set building on fire when severely damaged (this works also on mechanical vehicles, like my airship). As blinkboy said, at the building death you should use tail particles, not head and the rubble seems to be too low at death anim which means that is not visible totally. And maybe you consider the building to rotate by 45° as usually blizz buidings, but is not necessary.

However I really like the stairs, good texture choice, the rope fence is also well done. They polygon is also good.

A small question (you may not like it ). is there something below the arena, some room or something?

Too bad the roof isn't team color.

Still, the model looks awesome.

dude, it is team color...

However I don't get how you unwrap that, there is no black solor between the roof tiles like in human town hall

Silly me... X(

I did check the model now, and I can say you did a wrong method to give the roofs teamcolor.

What you did:
Top layer: Teamcolor, additive filter effect.
Bottom layer: Texture, none filter effect.

What you should do:
Top layer: Texture, blend filter effect.
Bottom layer: Teamcolor, none filter effect.

This way, you don't get that odd shading on the roofs.

Mechanical Man. I will add a lot of that stuff next time. VERY helpful post.

And lol, I guess there is a room below the arena.


DVO, thank you. I will work on that.

Compaired to your old dwarven models, this one pwns ass. I think it's your best building yet. +REP

It's epic?

Yea, it's awesome AND epic, I like this very much, I might use this in my Pandaren RPG ! Make moar

Since I like being annoying, I was on the hunt for some uwv irregularities.

Everything was perfect, except the front part of lower pair of stairs, it is visible also from this screenshot. The stonewall is not tiled.

And you may remove the invisible (bottom) polygons.

It's good for me.... I likeit, and maybe I can improve chinesse warriors to use it like a base.....

Cool! Maybe you can add some more doddads in the middle like a table? I dunno, looks fine! 4.5/5

Looked like the place of Dynasty Warriors 5 where you fight Ciao Pi
so it is a good building *.*

this is superb!

Pandaren Townhall, anyone?

Thank God its finally approved...I've moderated this thing 3 times

Indeed. Well, BlinkBoy is a bit of a pro when it comes to modeling. So, he sees models differently then we do. You gotta admire his enthusiasm.

Would you like some Take-out Chinese food with that?

Anyways, awesome model. Would be excellent for a Monstarey. + Rep

There is no greater honor for a modeler than having his model approved by BlinkBoy.

With some more models like this one, a Pandaren Melee Map is possible too.


Great model!

more like a arena....but still a great model and it could be used in kungfu panda or chinese arena rpg maps.

5/5
