StalMaster (Skeleton-Master)

This is one of my favourites that gives me headaches then i think about the making of it -_-
It's basically a FOUR-armed Skeleton Warrior that serves as heavy infantry.
The Idea came both from Skyward Sword AND Hyrule Total War.
It HAS Team-color just on the Back of the Model.

Grey Armor (Tier 3), Shoulder Pads (Tier 2) and Helm (Tier 1) = Astaroth Zion (Give Him credit too)


IF YOU USE THIS MODEL IN YOUR MAP OR CAMPAIGN THEN GIVE CREDIT!?! (Please)

-----Update 07. July. 2016-----
-Completely Remade Model
-Base is still the same, but i added four( or more?) extra "innerbones" to the model and animated them.
-Changed Eye Color from Red to Dark Red
-Weapon-Clipping mostly removed and overall clipping of the Model removed
-New Custom Animations:
-New Attack Slam Animation
-New Death Animation
-New Stand Ready Animation
(The rest is just a little different. That means I only animated the extra "innerbones".)
-New Weapons: Upper Right: Cutlass by Hayate
Upper Left: Basic Sword by Hayate
Right: Mace by Sven
Left: Iron-Raven by BloodRaven
(Give them ALL credit for their amazing weapons)
The Positions of the Weapons are inspired by this

-----Update 09. July. 2016-----
-ERROR: I had somehow forgotten to upload the right model. I am very sorry. :goblin_cry:

-----Update 29. Jan. 2017-----
-removed the 'borrowed' Armor and replaced it with my own.
-removed the 'borrowed' Weapons and replaced them with ingame ones.
-new attack animations (except 'attack slam')
-new stand ready animation
-new birth animation
-new death animation
-Made a new fitting Portrait-Model

I removed the 'borrowed' stuff, because
1: they are way too many polies.
2: i am too lazy to ask for permission to use these things.

by the way now the position of the weapons are inspired by this
Stalmaster

-----Update 30. Jan. 2017----- (nothing Major)
-made the unused weapons, that are used during the birth animation, invisible during the Walk animation.

MODERATION Approved All the issues seems to be fixed. The attack animations seems a little slow, but the rest seems good, so approved.

The_Silent: Looks good, but has some very visible issues ingame.
The swords clip in almost every animation, moving though each other or through the body.

The Death animations looks like it is standing on a moving ship, almost floating in one direction, next in the other. I suspect you have taken it from a model that was originally larger, and that might be the issue.

Also, feel free to listen to the commenters, arms moving independently in some animations would certainly be a plus.

Hm. I don't know. The model seems fine. But the four arms. It seems unnecessary because they move in pairs.

It would have been awesome if the arms moved independently.

I would do it, but i can't animate so well. But if you know of someone who can do it then name him/her and i ask him/her if he/she can do it. Okay?

Less interesting that I thought it would be.
4 arms coming from 2 shoulders? Also, what's the point of having 4 arms if you have beast master's attack animations anyways? The legs aren't very well done either.

This model would be epic if:
1- The arms moved independently.
2- Custom animations.
3- Better armor, special effects... etc.

It certainly looks good now, and should be moved to "approved", it may crash the game I haven't tested it but from what I see it's worthy.

I can assure you, that he doesn't crash the game. I use him myself.:ogre_hurrhurr: His walk-animation may seem weird, because of his heavy armor, but if I have the time I can change this.

This is a fantastic update. Much better & much cooler, IMO. Love the new pauldrons, helmet, weapons, and the anims are solid.

The only things that could be improved now, in my mind, is a bit more smoothness to the animations. Death, Attacks, Birth, etc. But they are perfectly adequate now.
