I mean, that you are on the right way. Honestly, i don't like your previous models. Most... All of then lack style and finishing touches, but this one is realy badass.

interesting that you like one of my simplest models so much more than the complex ones. But O.K., that's a matter of taste.

I'm not talking about the skill or simplyness, i'm talking about an idea and an execution.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Cool idea 'n' nice execution!

 

[Marcos DAB]

It combines perfectly with the other undead units. Very useful and well done, also with the attractive file size.

thx Yeah, kept the filesize in mind while making it. I wanted to make a simple yet attractive unit for guildfree use in maps & campaigns.

Sweet. Definitely one of the most awesome fliers i've seen. Haha.

 

[Misha]

now this! is great :]

This is one of your best models, Uncle. It may be simple, but it has less flaws than most of your other models. A lot of your models end up being more complicated than this, sure, but they often look unfinished, as though there are many things that could have been done better. This one doesn't really have much wrong with it.

The idea and execution of this is simply great. I'm giving you a 4/5. You could perhaps work on the texture wrap of the bones to make them look more detailed, they're a bit too paper-white right now.

ty Yeah, but it ain't that much noticeable ingames. It's not a huge assault creature either, as long as it isn't scaled up ingames. But thanks for the advice.

@ all of you: be prepared, my next model will be much more.....weird/strange. I can only reveal so far that it's going to be a sea-unit this time and the mesh will be partly scratched.

 

[Misha]

planning an octopus or what?

 

[nero_ed]

now thats is good,an vulture rider would be an great infantry killer,vulnerable to archers but immune to infantry XD

 

[kellym0]

looks cewl!

 

[eubz]

OMG, what an epic model.

 

[InfernalTater]

planning an octopus or what?

That would be amazing... But it would need an animator with a LOT of spare time.

 

[Misha]

hive needs new animators

 

[Uncle Fester]

planning an octopus or what?

no, not an octopus. But it is something completely new as a unit.

now thats is good,an vulture rider would be an great infantry killer,vulnerable to archers but immune to infantry XD

that's exactly what it's supposed to be. a light airborne anti-infantry unit

looks cewl!

ty

OMG, what an epic model.

thx

not necessarely. I plan to make a similar creature too, if i find enough time

hive needs new animators

definitly. The old ones mostly retired and the new good ones are only a hand full, which is way to low for the needs of the Hive.

 

[RakEnRoL]

Nice model you got there. I haven't got the time to test it in game, but I think the texture is well made as it doesn't lose a lot of quality as of the scale. 4/5

ty lol the texture is an ingame skin.

 

[Deolrin]

Nice stuff. Though, I do believe the vulture might look a bit more intimidating and "undead" if you removed it's eyes, and left some empty socks in their place. Maybe even make the sockets glow red. This could probably be done by simply rewrapping the eyes to another part of the texture(or another texture altogether).
Also, do you mind detailing how exactly did you achieve this? Did you use Reteras' tool? Because you merged the Vulture, Skeleton and Hippogryph Rider perfectly! I am genuinely impressed. ^^

ty Hm, your suggestion sounds quite good. Lol, no. I just made the mesh in Milkshape, exported it as .mdx, converted it in Magos to .mdl, as well as the Hippogryph and then merged them in Geoset Merger. Afterwards, i assigned the vertices to the corresponding bones in MDLVIS. Reteras' tool? To be honest, i haven't even heard of that before. If you like this model, just wait for the next one It will be more detailed, but as mentioned above, this time a sea-unit and from a different race. It should be finished tomorrow or on Friday.

I like the skeleton rider with vulture. You've done very well that. I set 5/5 because it's very useful for my map.

I want to see the other undead with mounts

How about a Bloodhound Rider? Just be patient, i will make more models with the time

 

[Aztonio Azqswxzeman]

I have a reflexion... Anything can have an undead counterpart. Like literally everything and that's cool despite WoW barely exploiting the potential of Warcraft 3, but it shouldn't be that simple either.

Carrion birds are extremely underated. They're the perfect racial flying mounts for Humans and the Alliance in general ! (instead of robbing dwarves and wildhammer lore once again... for no reason) I always found odd that we can find flightpaths of magestic gryphon sitting there like they're mere pigeons. (I love pigeons too)

The best bird I found for Elwynn is literally called "Eurasian griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus)".

Westfall has typical Fleshrippers scavengers. The black cinereous (monk) vulture for Duskwood. Condors for Redrige and Khaz Modan.

The bearded vulture, orange and alpine is perfect for Alterac !

Not to forget crows for Gilneas, and other birds like gulls and parrots for Kul Tiras. (At least THEY had a semblance of tinny explanation for how wildhammers got to settle there and teach humans)

Carrion bird

Carrion birds is is a hunter pet family that consists primarily of large, carnivorous, scavenger birds. Their default specialization is Ferocity, and their special ability is [Bloody Screech]. This family includes the following beasts: Crow / Raven Peafowl Petalwing (requires haranir or [Trials...

Vulture

Vultures (also called buzzards or swoops) are scavenger birds that can be found throughout the drier areas of Azeroth and Outland—seeking carnage upon which to feed. Condors are a type of vulture.

Thanks for the inspiration.
