A custom from scratch Town-Hall, fully animated

[xXMephistoXx]

An entire Techtree, custom modelled - WiP

Like the title says, I've made a town hall model, entirely from scratch, and animated it! "Birth", "Birth Upgrade First", "Birth Upgrade Second", "Stand", "Stand Upgrade First", "Stand Upgrade Second", "Stand Work Upgrade First", "Stand Upgrade Second", "Portrait -1", "Portrait Upgrade First", "Portrait Upgrade Second", "Death", "Decay". Polys: About 700, dunno exactly. Bugs: "Portrait -1" animation has a bug where the spiraling wheels jump 45Degrees forward. Model: Entirely from scratch. Skin: Beeing made by ElfSilver Lord, who's doing a terrific job!(See posts below)

This is the new building I'm working on, or I'm actually finished with it, I only need a skin. But I think I'm going to UV-map all the buildings to ElfSilver Lords skin since it's certainly the simplest way to go. "birth", "portrait -1", "stand", "stand 2", "stand work", "death", "decay". Polys: About 200, dunno exactly... Bugs: None I've discovered. Model: Made entirely from scratch by me. Animated by me, too. Skin: Don't have any, think I'm going to UV-map it to the Town-Hall Skin by ElfSilver Lord.

I would appriciate any respons to this!

It looks like a birthday cake.
But town halls are hard to make, if you can pull this one off with great success, I will be impressed.

Looks good. Could work for a drenaei style building.

It was someting drenaeish thing I had in mind, but since my skin turned out like crap it wasn't exactly what I was looking for, no...

@ElfSilver Lord: I'll Pm it right away! TY

Could you use ingame textures?

 

[xXMephistoXx]

I could, but I'll see how ElfSilve Lord or any other who would like to skin it does first...

 

[FireEffect]

Ive always wanted to skin a custom model. Im pretty good. Ill try, might not be draenei though. Pm me the stuff.

 

[Elfsilver Lord]

Now, I can start on the skin, because I have a theme. Draenai.

EDIT:
I have finished the claw spires things.

Here is a current WIP. (the transition between the sections is a bit rough, so I had to smudge a bit. I can fix it if needed)

You never get tired of that sentence, do you Elenai?

@ElfSilver lord: It's looking great!!! Sorry about the wrap, it wasn't the most genial thing ever, exactly... And the cross-over between the last section and the others are terribly unwrapped, sorry. the Smudge is ok, it's not noteceable on the model, but the cross-over from the last section and the others are, you can see the bad unwrapping in the forst post.(Check the pic. to see what I mean.

@FireEffect: I'm attaching the skins to the first post, just take it from there, maybe I'll make a poll about which to use, or just decide, dunno.

 

[Elfsilver Lord]

I'm working on the main buliding right now, but I have one problem: I suck at perspective. I might have to redo it, but I'll post a WIP once it is done (Oh, and I will PM you all the textures when I am done, not just the screenshots)

That skin looks like some sky texture cut up and arranged into that shape with cris cross lines

 

[xXMephistoXx]

Yeah, it kinda does. And that's not a bad thing! =)

Time for da review!

The model isn't that bad, 700 polies is pure awesomeness for a Town Hall. Just by looking at this, I've seen you wanted to make a Town Hall infused with arcane powers, no? The skin is....... decent, it really does like like a Gay Palace of Doom. I see you haven't paid much time to the detail, and I hope that your skills in texturing will improve. I'm limited only to review the skin and the picture of the model ATM, and I hope that when you release it that I can review it better.

If I get the time, I could do the skin for you.

 

[xXMephistoXx]

I already have someone doing the skin, ElfSilver Lord, and if you see some posts up, you'll see she/he's doing a terrific job! Thanks for the proposal anyway. If you want you could also make one, and I'll use the best one, but it's not neccecary...

 

[FireEffect]

Can I try to make one. I need something to skin. I know somebody is making one already but you could have 2 versions. Great model BTW

 

[xXMephistoXx]

The skin is in the first post. TY
