You are late...
here

Hey now that's interesting. I like that design, and you're off to a good start. In-game textures I assume? If so, I approve.

//EDIT// Go'el, that's true, except was the one in that thread a home-made one, or one ported from WoW?

 

[Go'el]

Actually, I have no idea...

Yes, its from WoW (Maybe even ripped)
and it also use WoW texture.
So this is my opportunity to create an ingame one in scratch
Since I really like machines and mechanical units.

Ah, that's what I thought/feared. Well then, all the more to you! And when you're finished, if you like Mechs so much, let me know if a Trollish one ever sparked your thoughts... : )

this is pretty intriguing Edge, it nice to hear that you're making more WoW inspired models.... Do you plan to expand this thread to your future Model Previews ?

You are late...

Don't be so harsh Go'el

 

[Heinvers]

Pretty nice Edge ^_^

 

[Blood Raven]

Looks cool so far. It will be interesting to see this remade into warcraft 3 with ingame textures and animations. And don't let some wow-ripped model discourage you.

 

[Chen]

Crackers. Ooh That's a Nice one Edge!

 

[Edge45]

Here's the second and third. , thanks guys and gals

WIP 2

a. Messy I guess, but don't worry, I'll wrapp that later

WIP 2

a. Some parts are done, and already cloned thanks to the Matrix Eater, you may see some parts not wrapped, well that will be later

 

[Heinvers]

Cool so far

 

[Himperion]

Awesome, i will use this in my project. About the arrow you could use the same as the WoW rip, it uses ingame textures too.

Thanks, will do

Anyone?, any ideas on what texture i'll use on the wheels
I seem to have no idea on what i'll use

Probably suitable.

 

[Edge45]

hmmm, uhm sorry, I mean the side wheels texture (see 3 WIP, theres an unwrapped object in wheels, thats what I mean), the Human Catapult seem to be using wooden wheels, this one is iron (I think)

Yes it does.

 

[Eagle XI]

Siege Engine's last wheel maybe.

 

[Edge45]

The body is textured, still no idea on the side of the wheels.
Siege engine does not work, it looks more steam punky yellow

 

[Kyrbi0]

Man, wish I knew good textures to use. :< The mesh is lookin' solid, though; love the wings.

 

[Edge45]

What do you mean

The mesh is lookin' solid,

thanks anyways

 

[Kyrbi0]

Err, "solid" not in a literal sense (because literally, it is already a solid rather than a gas or liquid; saying "solid" in that sense would be redundant and pointless), but more like "solid" as a colloquialism for "cool".

Urban Dictionary, the greatest resource

Also, check your VM's

 

[Edge45]

lol, (hahahhahahahah, doesn't really make sense though.....^_^')

 

[Kyrbi0]

I'm saying it's cool. It's awexome. It's progressing rather "solidly" so far.

/offtopic

 

[Edge45]

Ok, the meshes, texture, and vertices are done, now to animations
(But first, I'll help you out Kyrbi0)

 

[Kyrbi0]

Those wheels look great. I prefer the wooden-type architecture to the steam-punkish advanced-ness brassy look to the WoW one, personally.

However, (and this could just be the pose), I feel like it's still very... "empty" on the inside, between the wooden posts. Not sure what to suggest (aside from a floor, perhaps).

(But first, I'll help you out Kyrbi0)

Dawwwww... : ) <3

 

[Edge45]

So the word "inside", you mean its belly or where the arrow is?
another screeny Z view

 

[Kyrbi0]

Yeah, right there... That looks rather empty.

(the blue stuff)

 

[Edge45]

Okay, I'll check on it, (After I'm done with yours, )

 

[Heinvers]

wow, cool mesh Edge

 

[Cherrymage]

cool model! p.s. when will you release this cool ballista?

 

[Edge45]

thank you, I'll release it after I'm done with the anims and other things,

 

[Edge45]

Sorry for the long replies guys, just busy with real world stuff
anyways
I just finished the walk,

and going to work on attack and Spell
any ideas on what the spell may be?

 

[General Frank]

Wow, this looks dope.
The effort you put in is just gorgeous. I was also fiddling around with a ballista type thingy not so long ago.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Dude... That's pretty sick. And all in-game textures to boot? Criminy.

Definitely did a good job taking care of those holes in the middle. Keep on keepin' on.

Whoah, I didn't really think you would post here
<.<'', ehh I mean thanks.

Thanks aswell,

 

[Heinvers]

Looks pretty well done Edge.

 

[Go'el]

It's hard to think in a Spelll animaton for a Ballista, maybe a shinny stuff in the 'arrow'?

 

[Himperion]

Maybe some kind of burning version of the normal attack, change de normal rope in the launcher for the zap or zap red effect and the arrow for a transparent version on flames.

 

[Edge45]

Well, long delay, there's Good News and Bad News

Good News is, I finished the model,

Bad News is, It doesn't show up in-game, only its shadow, don't know why. There's no custom skin cause this is in-game textures, I checked the bones, no wierd things (I think), So if anyone who knows this problem, tell me.

Note: If anyone tries to steal this model by distributing it to other sites, I'll report them (I think)

 

[Kyrbi0]

Ooh that stinks. Good luck getting it fixed!

 

[Heinvers]

Ouch, that's a shame. Hopefully you'll get it fixed

Note: If anyone tries to steal this model by distributing it to other sites, I'll report them for sure

Yes, stick by the rules.

Oh and good luck Edge.

 

[MogulKahn]

Hope to see this fixed !

 

[Sunreaver]

Good luck in this hope u finish this quickly

 

[Anvil]

An Event Objects needs a key. Without one can cause problems to models. In this case SNDxKBLL has no key.

 

[Edge45]

whoo....I've been waiting for someone to fix this, I did it myself, by trying to swap the frames of stand and walk, didn't work actually, I didn't really think it was from an Event Object, thanks dude

 

[Edge45]

Thanks to Anvil, the model now shows up, another problem, the health bar seem to go too much upwards/up

I calculated the extents, it seems it did not solve the problem
It may came from the animations Minimum/Maximum Extents, but seems a little complecated.
Any one want to share their ideas?

 

[Sunreaver]

Cool love it

 

[Anvil]

Remove the extents for the background plane. The health bar is placed above the maximum extents on a model.

 

[Edge45]

oK, thanks again ^_^, will try
