Anyone willing to take a model request?

[Teitan]

Hello, i have been thinking about this for a while and decided to try my luck with a request:

Could anyone please make me a Tryndamere model? He's a character from the moba League of Legends, i plan to recreate him in warcraft 3, mostly for fun(spells and everything), but i dont want to rip it directly from that game because 1: i dont support piracy and 2: he's too HD to look good alongside warcraft units.

Here's a picture of the guy:

And a video depicting his animations and particle effects:

(He has a newer model, but i want it to resemble the one depicted in this post)

The model should be low poly and use only in-game textures in order for it to match the looks of warcraft 3, i obviously want it because i'm a fan of the character, but i also think it would be a nice addition to the model database, specially since i want it low poly and with with ingame textures, so it could also serve as a generic big sword barbarian for anyone to use.

I have no clue about modeling/texturing/animating, but i have some suggestions for the resources that could be used:

Outland's Overlord's texture for the armored parts, helmet, and maybe sword

Centaur's texture for the dark skin and maybe the face

I think the Orc Grunt model could be used as a base?

Let me know if you require additional information about the concept!

Thanks in advance and have a happy new year.

Can you get me an up-close picture of his back, & would you like him to have a custom texture or use in-game textures?

No custom will save space but take longer to make simply because I have to search through the game's archives and find a suitable lookalike

 

[Teitan]

Hey there, regarding the skin, i thought it was the other way around lol, yeah if it's easier absolutely use a custom skin.

I was unable to find a back shot of the exact model i linked in the post, but here are some pics from a newer version and a concept art:

[HerrDave]

Double-checking, you want him made in the old style, with the gemstone in the sword, right?

 

[Teitan]

Yeah that'd be awesome!, i personally liked the simpler look of his old model, i feel like a kid asking santa for a gift hahahahaha

 

[HerrDave]

Santa may be running late, but 'nog will do that to ya

I'll check out the animations video, track down a good base model, and bring him to life for ya

 

[Teitan]

You're awesome thank you so much!!!

 

[HerrDave]

Could you get a close-up view of his pommel?

I can't quite make out what it is in the old concept art for him, and in-game it's a little too small

(Damn I feel old now)

*edit
Nevermind, found it

 

[Teitan]

Hey, here are both of his old artworks

It seems to me like some kind of claw thing with an orb on it

 

[Teitan]

Also thanks again for working on this!

 

[HerrDave]

Animations are 90% done

Still working on the mesh of the gauntlet, belt, and helmet

Would you like the gemstones to glow in the dark?

 

[Teitan]

AWESOME!!!

Regarding the glow, if you can do it, hell yeah, but in all seriousness, it looks awesome, you make an incredible job recreating stuff from other games

During this time i also decided i will make a mini campaign with him, his old backstory is interesting enough for it , will start working on it soon

 

[HerrDave]

Can do

Pardon the huge delay by the way, I got sucked into Star Wars The Old Republic recently and I've been trapped making and remaking my characters for a while x_x

 

[Teitan]

You have nothing to apologize, i know modeling takes time!

 

[HerrDave]

Just have to rework the sword-gem, make his belt, stick some gems on his arm-guard, make the hair not suck, and chunkify the pauldron and he'll be ready to send over to you

 

[Teitan]

This is too good to be true, you're even making his hair!!!

THANK YOU x9999 !!

 

[HerrDave]

Okie-dokie, this is about as far as he's gonna get tonight, I'm going to spend the rest of the evening fretting over a proper Sith name and tomorrow I'll finish his pauldron and send him over

 

[HerrDave]

Okie-dokie, all done

[Teitan]

IT'S PERFECT!!! thank you so much for taking the time to create him !

EDIT: how do i give you rep? lol

 

[HerrDave]

Ya click the little green + button next to someone's rep underneath their avatar, thanks by the way

 

[Teitan]

Hey man!, i tested the model ingame and it is amazing, way better than the reskinned grunt with sword i had in mind before LOL, but i got one question, how can i lower the health bar graphic so it is closer to the model? it is kinda too high but i'm sure it is easy to fix ain't it?, also how could i add the attack grunt sound rexxar makes to this model? i have some experience doing some very (very) simple edits to models and i think i can do it


EDIT: Alternatively, if it's easy enough, could you do it for me? didn't want to ask at first because i know you already spent a lot of time at this but i also don't want to mess it up

EDIT 2: Attached some in-game screenshots, the rage effect is "Ember" made by Mythic (fits surprisingly well!!)

 

[HerrDave]

Oops, that's my fault

The healthbar appears a certain distance above the highest polygon, and in this case since it's the sword trail I used, it was-- really high

Quick fix though, won't take five minutes, just a sec

 

[HerrDave]

There we go - Tryndamere (Fixed) | HIVE

 

[Teitan]

Thanks!, and sorry for asking so much stuff xD

 

[HerrDave]

Don't worry about it

I once had a model someone wanted reworked 16 times

Spoiler

I don't do dragons anymore

 

[Stefan.K]

Upload this masterpiece!

 

[Teitan]

Well now, considering you don't mind, would you be able to add the grunting noises rexxar/beastmaster makes when he attacks, to the trynda model?

And out of curiosity, which model is that you reworked 16 times lol

EDIT: Yeah i agree 100% with Stefan!!, this is too good to be hidden in a forum post!!

Here's a shitty video i made showing the model and some special effects i'm testing

It feels like christmas! i love it

 

[HerrDave]

Tryndamere - now with new sounds
The model I redid 16 times was never published, but it's part of some Dragon-themed RPG map floating around
You'll recognize it because of the ludicrous size, sheer number of animations, and the stains of HerrDave tears in the animation code xD

[Teitan]

Haha i will try to find it, thanks again

 

[HerrDave]

Waaaait!

Now I've fixed the hair it no longer clips into his back during ready or attack animations

[Teitan]

lol i hadn't even noticed that, thanks!

 

[Kyrbi0]

It's crazy... Sometimes all it takes is asking. :<

Good luck with your projects Gonguerf, and good-on-ya Herr Dave for helping them out. : )

 

[Teitan]

I know right? i couldn't believe it either haha, i was really ok with a modified grunt with sword but the result was immensely better

I am now working on Tryndamere's spells, i made a thread about it too, if anyone wants to help, any help is welcome!
(i suck at making spells and i need help xD)
I need a spellpack for a project!
