Diablo III: King Leoric

This bundle is marked as director's cut. It exceeds all expectations and excels in every regard.
Mesh - HappyTauren aka TotallyAwesome
Texture - AnemicRoyalty
Animations and particles - Terrasque aka Jigrael

This model was made for "Diablo III: The Fallen Angel" project, but after the project's been long gone, we decided to share some resources with the public, as we have no use for them anymore.

This is freakin' amazing. I haven't seen a model worth a DC in quite a while. It's good to see one again. The three of you have done an amazing job on this. Get the other two to post in this thread, so I can rep them for it, too.

5/5!

I think this could have been done with in-game textures, though. Even the skull, could be made using the inventory cover. Would be more work re-wrapping the entire thing than it's worth, though, as it wouldn't look any better, but would simply reduce the file size a little.

Sweet holy baby Jesus!
This is just what i freaking wanted. The animations are really awesome, something that many models lack. However, the attack animations are a little bit too fast. I mean, they are good but they have to be kinda slowed. The second attack animation is good, but the first one and the spell slam are too fast. I'll be so glad if you update them and make them a bit slower..
They look good in the model viewer in WE but ingame, they look unrealisticly fast even with a large attack cooldown timer. Besides, the hero holds a VERY large weapon. He can't swing it with this speed..

Thanks in advance. It's an epic model! I will definitely use it in my map if you make the animations i stated slower. If you are not going to do this, then i ask you for permission to edit it. :grin:
5/5, +rep
 
I think it took me around 2 days to complete and polish the mesh, because it took me a lot of time to change proportions several times, and I tried to do my best at unwrapping it, so A.R. would have an easy time working on it, but I don't know how long A.R. and Terrasque worked on it.

As for other treasures, I don't know what others we have available, I've had at least two HD crashes since I've been working on the project, and Archian has lost the most or all the stuff at least once, so I am not sure what's left around. This one was a lucky shot because Terrasque had it on some old USB drive, else it'd probably be lost as well!

I hope this model will be used as replacement model for King Leoric in DOTA. It will be truly epic!

Thanks for uploading this man! :) I actually wanted to upload a package with all the resources made for Diablo 3: The Fallen Angel. And as it would have it, it's possible.

As you may know, well, now you can't see it because of Wc3c's serer failure. But I am actually in posession of the latest map, as I posted in the thread over at Wc3c ;)

However, many resources made for the project was left incomplete. And as such they cannot be uploaded as a whole resource pack with the rest.
Those however, could be made public for artists who wants to finnish them, if the original creators does not.

Awesome model! Very versatile for any skeleton king.
Although I am no modeller, it doesn't take a genius to know much work and effort was put in.
Very good job on the model5/5!
