Pyritie: A nice idea but bad execution. 4218 vertices? D:

Also something's up with your wheat. The parts closest to you get put behind the rest >.=.> Very trippy.

Somebody just had to make this. Just had to... And once again when a quest like "Somebody has to make that." appears, i took it and got exp for completing it =). I'm playin' the great HiveRPG. =)

This is so freaking awesome! btw, what programs u used to animate?

This is so freaking awesome! btw, what programs u used to animate?

The entire model was made with only 2 programs:
- onikerwinkle's vertex modifyer
- magos' model editor

 

[Deolrin]

U... animated with magos model editor? how?

U... animated with magos model editor? how?

i used only translation and scaling, couse i dunno how to make rotation =)
magos' model editor provides ability to animate bones, textures and lots of other stuff, but it is not graphical. It's aimator is just a text editor where you type the animation and it does it. it is not so simple, but i'll tell you how it works for scaling animation:

0: {1, 1, 1}
1000: {2, 2, 2}

global sequence: none method: linear

this text means that at frame 0 the animated bone will apply to it's attached groups scaling of 100% of all three axises and at frame 1000 it will have 200% scaling at all three axises, and the method "linear" means that all frames between those will be gradient-like scaling value, for example, at frame 500 the scaling will automatically be 150%. this is the very little part of raw data animation. All these you can also do in notepad =)
All knowledge that i have about modeling i got on my own by digging in the programs.. noone told me what is Vertex, Polygon, Geoset or Material, and how they work. I recommend you to just practice making some things, entering different values, and watching the result... so did i =) SOme time earlier i couldn't even remove a sword from a footman.

It would be a lot better, if the building had birth and death animations. Their lack is a big minus on an overall cool and useful model.

Yeah, i agree. Maybe you could add them . This modell is very nice, i have a good use for it, but please add some birth/death anim

i did it. check it out. the anims. =)

 

[Emm-A-]

umm i cant see it...

And it says: "Updated: Never". You should try again uploading the new version

 

[frostwhisper]

The anims list contains Birth and Death, so obviously it's updated.

 

[Deolrin]

Theres a bug in the Hive Workshops Model Section, it does not displays updates.

 

[Emm-A-]

ok, sry didnt know that.

Now its a really great model in every way

Edit: Hm it seems that the animations dont work properly... ingame the portrait picture burns for example...

 

[Devine]

you animated it in magos? thats ridiculous... who are you? WILLTHEALLMIGHTY? ^^
good job

 

[Ergius]

good job

no, i'm ain't allmighty. i just know the secrets of MDL files. i know everything about what it's made of. I could as well animate it in notepad. it's like programming. i am a programmer, that's why i made it so easily. Just a script. Whole model is a simple script.
Actually this is most primitive animation. It can be made by any idiot (don't be offended). When i learn how to assign vertex groups to bones within single geoset, without using any other programs i will be allmighty. My power is getting bigger. Each model that i make gives me experience and soon my knowledge will be enaugh to make masterpieces with notepad alone.

 

[Deep Sea Kraken]

Well, Ergius, you. are. insane.

Its really good tho, my only problems is with the birth animation, the building just kinda pops outa the ground lol.

[Mechanical Man]

It reminds me of wc2 farms. The animations are kinda basic, but it can still be used as buildable building.

 

[yakonshus]

I like it, nice for plundering and pillaging, but there is no way to the door?

 

[Lord_Firage]

The entire model was made with only 2 programs:
- onikerwinkle's vertex modifyer
- magos' model editor

How could you put the Models together with Vertex Modify ?
I mean ..
the Farm model
and the Wheat Model

 

[Ghost765]

intresting. wheres the door to the house tho? i only see a door into the garden thingy

you are quite insane. build like a... barracks.

 

[boomwolf]

I would rep you if I had enough.

Best farm-land model ever. better then blizz stuff too...

 

[Barade]

This is a really great concept!

 

[SadOnix]

Really awesome! ingame the model is burning when clicked on it, nothing to worry about so i can switch to another interface icon, right?
