Mal'Gus and Magma Globules

Well this is that 3-headed dragon that i started so many years ago, that got dragged off into limbo.. Honestly, i got tired of it sitting there on my hard drive, gathering all sorts of digital dust, so i overhauled it. Now its a badass black dragon with 3 heads, and might even be one of Deathwing's spawn.

Almost all animations were done by Hayate, and some were done by.. someone i can't remember the name of, so, if one of you remembers working on a 3-headed dragon, let me know. i just wanted to finish it.

Thanks to Mr.Goblin for the fancy name :cgrin:

He also comes with 'magma globule' missiles that should be used as slow short-range projectiles that he belches out and bombards targets. single and dual

enjoy and give credit to us, or you'll be roasted :p

It's nice to see a Walking/Flying model that actually works in-game. It looks good and even with the high complexity was all correctly done. Approved! :) The magma globes are quite dramatic, but I suppose they're meant for spells, not as a regular...

Dang, I really like this guy. It's always been sad to me that Warcraft dragons never walk. And this is a crazy sort of 'hydra dragon' that flies, walks, casts spells... So cool.

Good job, @Hayate, with those animations! There was only the slightest stiffness or robotic-ness to them... If that's what I can look forward to for Mr. Rex, I'm feeling good.

In terms of mesh, my only two concerns would be the part where the two extra heads connect & the way/where the wings fold up against the body. Otherwise I'm pretty cool with it.

It's cool that you provided some neat SFX to go with it; we don't have enough 'magma' stuff IMO.

Personally, while "Mal'gus" is a cool name, people aren't going to be typing that in to find it; more like "three-headed dragon" or "hydra dragon" or something might be better. Stick "Gleeok" in the tags for extra fun. : )
 
The magma globule looks particularly good, especially since it can be scaled pretty well could probably use it as a cool effect for a few spells, the dragon itself is of course also impressive but less of a concern for me as a spell maker XD
My only criticism would be perhaps the size of the wings in reference to the dragon's body given the apparent weight of it (since it's a bit chunkier than most warcraft dragons) but the sheer amount of animations and general look to it is awesome

that really is more for the azure dragon texture, but i already have a blue dragon model, its called Varsaigen
war3 bronze dragon is really lill too.. well, something between yellow and orange


Perhaps you have misunderstanding about Kaizer ghidorah's colour. This is the true colour of him, Golden(or Bronze) without the light which make him looks like azura colour

ah, i see ^^ however, your best option would be to match his colors directly via a custom texture, i feel war3 bronze dragon texture won't do him justice :b

Ghidorah is mostly the Villain keijiu in Godzilla series although his major colour is golden or bronze (except Godzilla 2001 he's the defensor of Japan)

BTW:I know how to exchange the skin from black to bronze. My purpose is to inform you: Ghidorah is always the remarkable Tri-headed dragon.

look, i'll not make Ghidorah for you.. although i will re-tweak a copy of this model for you, if you get someone to do the skin legit. So.. shift your Kaiju hype to the skin section :b

Sure you did. And that's what he wanted you to do.
The model isn't Ghidorah, might look like it, but it isn't.
 
See, I have downloaded the model and change the skin. Now it looks more like Ghidorah.]
which also carries over the somewhat odd wrapping that looks okay on the black dragon, and not so much on the bronze dragon. i don't use a skin if it doesn't look good on a model
Sure you did. And that's what he wanted you to do.
The model isn't Ghidorah, might look like it, but it isn't.
I did not give him a permission to edit, i asked him to wait until he or someone else makes a better skin than that
You could upload it on the site (skins section/bundle it with this model).
that i will consider stealing, and report. he should be just be patient or actively seek help with a ghidorah-texture

So, basically, you don't give permission for somebody (or just him in this case?) to edit a skin of yours? Because what I meant was, he would credit the original of course... or you could just have it as a bonus texture bundled in this thread's opening post.

consider that being more of a 'hey i want to do the final tweaking so it looks better' kind of a deal, unless i get angered by people who want it all now and pull mods into the thread.. is patience a thing of the past? i don't think so

The magma globes are quite dramatic, but I suppose they're meant for spells, not as a regular missile.

And as a sidenote, how about adding Hayate as a co-author? His animation work was nice and well, we have that feature available now in Hive 2.

magma globules were intended to be a slow-ish missile that the dragon belches out in an arc, thus bombarding the target. siege-like, i would guess?

as for Hayate, after talking to Ralle, i'm giving you the go-ahead to add a co-author to all of my models that have an animator credited. just don't change the files..
