Fingolfin: You are breaking my heart for not having added proper animations to this, but it works ingame and is approvable in its current state none the less. Will increase the rating once you do this though, PM me if you need help with splats of particles.

This Model gives me a
its so..... cool

Awesome nice house you got there.

This is incredible! Do you plan to make a few more models in this style? It would be greatly appreciated!

There will be a few more models, but probably not this big.

I'd make them faster if I could, but it is hard to manipulate the logs because of their shape.

More WoT stuff. Looks good, but kinda hard to move down of those stairs without bumping your head into the first floor.

A deliberate design choice, if not practical for beings more than 1ft high.

Also this face kind of scares me

Quite creepy right?

Nicely done, size is decent, good for diverse maps that involve doodad usage, a death animation wouldn't get you in jail just a simple "Puff, It's gone D;".

If I can figure out how to make the spinning board and deathsplat work, I'll definitely add birth and death animations to all of these models.

You know, those buildings could actually benefit from fancy animations quite greatly, just be careful not to go overboard.
I say this that for most of times simple animations of "raise" and "puff" work but not for those.

The only tricky thing about animating these is the shape of the logs and stone slabs (in the case of the crypt) in that if you were to open these in a wireframe view, it'd look like a jumbled mess. Working out a way to have it build up properly isn't exactly the toughest part as I can mimic BfME building animations where supports come up, a cloud of dust starts going and the building comes out of the ground piece by piece.

It is the death animation that is tricky, a puff won't do it and leaving behind ruins is harder to do than one thinks.

Really the only things stopping me are finding the right texture for the ruins, adding the deathsplat (explosion mark on the ground when it dies), and the spinning board. I've never figured out how to rotate particle effects.

Well hope you can figure it out soon enough.
Cheerio!

The warm ambience of lit windows in what wc3 lacked in past. Great job sir.

Really nice, looks realistic, too. 5/5

nice

Nice!

Nice!
