Mekkatorque (Suit)

[Kyrbi0]

My goodness... Now all you need to do is get bored of waiting for Trolls and we can be best friends!

Looks pretty cool, but my phone can't just the viewer. Hold on.

 

[aeman]

wow, dont know what else to say

 

[stein123]

Man, plz make more leaders *-* *-* *-* 5/5

 

[General Frank]

+4500 polygons is overkill and way too much. Even 1000 would suffice.
Also the wrapping is pretty bland.

 

[Drakensang]

Oh wow, finally a Mekkatorque model and a good one at that.

 

[Tharifas]

Looks good, but the texture is a little... flat? that's the word that comes to mind. Animations are really nice, though.

 

[Mister_Haudrauf]

It looks good, Animations are good and texture may be flat, but looking at the Model you based it of; I can safely say that you got it 100% accurated.

 

[DaHomieG]

Holy shit! Amazing! Looks fucking amazing and matches its WoW version beautifully.

6/5 +fuckin rep

 

[MogulKahn]

While model as model is really amazing, textures needs a bit more work. He looks somehow... not sharp enough?

 

[Wark]

The only problem I have with this is matching a good sound file to the portrait.
I agree with the others, visually the textures are a bit too ... grey? I mean, it could use some shiny steel bits or brass parts. Grey is good in a mixture.

While I find this very useful and nicely made, I have to agree with the General Frank about polygons and about the wrapping. You easily cut some poly count by wielding some vertices on his legs and arms. You don't need a circle made shape for the warcraft. Lust look at some other mechanic models in game and you will see how can you reduce vertices.
The animations fit very well and are nice. You really improved from what I saw earlier from you. Keep it up, just try to fix things I just talked about. It's up to you.

Hmm yeah I'm obsessed with making proper circles with models. I dunno, it just doesn't feel right with me when making it, especially when from scratch. The legs tho I had to make it like that since I wanted it to have a curvature like in the WoW model; Arms however, I just got lazy and copied what I used to make the legs so I guess I can cut some polygons there. Also found out I have some vertices hidden so didn't need to be there so I deleted those as well. and from all those I was just able to shave off around 1k polygons :/ I'll keep trying tho and update when I get it to around 3000.

For textures, I'm assuming everyone is refering to the blandness of the UV wrapping for the arms and legs? Because if it is, I've made changes on those parts (so they have some scorch marks and some rivets). If it's because it's all grey, then I'm not really gonna do anything about that since the source material is pretty much all grey and gold. However, I'm only gonna upload it when I've reached the 3000 polygon count or less I'm aiming for.

 

[General Frank]

Put it down to 1500 max.

 

[Wark]

Yes, this is exactly what I meant. That would make it look a lot cooler and metallic, rather than something made out of plastic.
On the side, would it be possible to get a model version of this without a hero glow when you are finished? I have uses for a gnome in a mech.

 

[paladinjst]

good change but i think an extra textures is not necessary . Plz find a ingame texture .

and btw , goblin ammo dump 's textures should be okay

If I used an ingame texture then I'm gonna rely again on using polygon work to get the screws' appearance right and the polygon count would skyrocket again.

yes , but u forgot this 73 kb textures . u saved polygons but add a texture seems not to be smaller and necessary .
try to use some alpha textures in game . that will save both polys and textures .

I found no texture like that, but tbf the texture is 256x256. I'll update it with a 64x64 or 32x32 texture later then. Besides both ranged and melee modes use the texture so it's just 1 for 2 models. Also this model is intended to be a hero model i.e. only 1 or 2 is expected to be in a game.

i love the previous version and my opinion is same as u : Also this model is intended to be a hero model i.e. only more 1000 polys is expected to be in a game.
maybe we should save polygons at 2007 , but it seems to be not important for a hero after 10 years .

 

[com007]

;D

 

[RavenBlackbird]

There we go. 64x64 screw.blp at 17kb. hope that's better

 

[Wark]

The file size is negligible due to the uniqueness of the model. This looks a lot better than the previous grey-scale, especially with that bolt pattern.
I am also still wondering, is it possible to get a version of this without hero glow?

Just Remove the Hero Glow in the Model Editor if you know how. Open permissions to edit on this model.

 

[Wark]

Yea, thar be the problem. I have no idea how :M

 

[Silverbrick]

how do you install this model because it doesn't work for me

 

[Lord_Marrowgrath]

Model isnt work on in-game

 

[General Frank]

Please add proper event objects and collision shapes to all variations of the models.

I suggest you to add a bigger spherical at the centre of the model and a smaller one in the middle of the head.
For event objects you might want to look at how it is done on regular Blizzard models.
