Elenai: Approved: The model is a nice edit, and it works ingame. Excellent job.

 

[Pyritie]

Did my one inspire it?

 

[Khazmo]

Alittle bit. Awhile back I had tried a similar model using red/purple textures and a few geoset additions to make a Fel Orc build animation. It failed, spectactularly, but the other day I saw yours, the icy bit made me think of the spell Blizzard. Which made me think of the Archmage, and in turn, the Teleport Spell. And so I editted the Undead Birth model to make use of the Teleports textures.

Mad, eh?

 

[Pyritie]

No I just feel flattered.

 

[Khazmo]

Hehe, well, that is good!

 

[legionofwa]

i like the effect of the teleport when placed into a build animation it looks cool

 

[Khazmo]

As do I. Oh, should mention, that the model uses no new textures. All textures come from the game itself, so easily imported.

 

[D a w n]

I think this will fit very well (almost) every bloodelf building and it looks very arcane =)

5/5

 

[JetFangInferno]

Doesn't look too arcane to me. Perhaps you should use the TeleportTarget splat texture. That one looks very crisp and clean.

 

[Khazmo]

I used the term Arcane in a broad sense, since it could be used for a variety of magical races, and because the main rune texture came from the Mass Teleport model, which of course, is the main spell of the Arch Mage. So Arcane seemed fitting. Also, my view of how Arcane looks is more blue than the Arcane we see in the likes of WoW.

However, when I made it, I had Dalaran in mind. Oh, and I looked for the TeleportTarget splat texture, but had no luck. If you could give the file path, I shall take a peek and see about making alterations.

 

[Pyritie]

ReplaceableTextures\Splats\TeleportTarget.blp

 

[Khazmo]

That is a rather pretty texture actually.. I may replace the bottom rune with that one, whilst keeping the Mass Teleport rune texture for the two smaller runes which flow up and down the particles in the middle.

Edit: I have given the new texture a try and you are right, it is far crisper on the model. I shall upload a version using that texture soon, Can give people a chance to use whichever they prefer.

 

[Devine]

Nice model and idea I wouldnt change a thing. It looks realy good the model fits in al bloodelven buildings. maybe u could make an unsummon animation?

 

[Khazmo]

It has an unsummon model with it. And it would not need an icon, no building animations make use of icons. Oh, and any word on whether or not it will be an accepted model?

Ow sry mate, I diden't try it ingame because i'm on my mother's computer atm.

 

[MartianMan92]

uh how exactly do u replace the undead building model? Is it a spell?

 

[CheatEnabled]

Its actually unbelievable how perfect this is for what i need.

Im using it just as a model, so is it possible to keep its animation at the point when the teleport is at its peak?

 

[Childeric]

Great work!

Good quality, simple, and useful. What more do you need?

5/5

 

[The_Avenger's_Return]

This sure looks good. Very original.

 

[Jimnaboo]

Cool. I'm gonna use it as a water race build.

 

[tyeeeee1]

How do i change the build anamation?

 

[Falcon]

How do you show the animation when you summon a building?

 

[Zylus]

Great birth i can use that 5/5

 

[AIagremm]

Its SUPER AWESOME!
One of the best models I have ever seen!
5/5

 

[Jakass]

Hı,this is an awesome thing but ım a noob editor and dunno where to put it so all buildings would be built that way.Can u help?

 

[zeldarules28]

I'm not great at the editor and i'd like to know how to make the buidlings use this model when they are built. Anybody know how to?

 

[gala1221]

Good model! Hope you make more of such things

 

[Zarkanseth]

very nice but how can i replace the building animation with this?

 

[Reaper51]

useful for a protoss affect when they warp in buildings

 

[ninja96]

Nice work.The model It looks realy good

 

[hayatesasaki]

Looks great! But how do I actually implement it? I see no option that has Build Animation. How do I put it for a build animation?

 

[Hive_Parasite]

Omg How I've been looking for this,thank ya.Just one question,it dosen't screw up the undead animations,right?

 

[thorne8885]

how do you put it as build animation?

 

[I_Am_The_Prophet]

What Path Should I Import
Ill Give You Reputation On Your Help

 

[UlithiumDragon]

This is an amazing piece of work! However, it would be nice to get an answer on how to implement building build animations! After digging around in the editor for over an hour (looking at anything from buildings in the object editor, to checking the game play constants, and all the advanced settings, etc.), and Googleing every iteration of every keyword set even remotely linked to this question, and coming up with a grand total of nada, it would be nice for someone more experienced to pass on this information... I mean, its not like 15+ people asked this question on this thread alone.... Oh wait, they did... </end sarcasm>

 

[Ahotnik001]

[HOW TO USE] there is no way to change build animation in editor , but its easy to add the effect on the current build animation
here is my example

 

[LordPerenoldeII]

OMMMGGG!! I WANT THIS!! I WANT THIS!!! I WANT THISSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

 

[.E.n.I.g.M.a.]

Looks really nice, thanks!

 

[hakonwarcraft]

Have too say, I think arcane is facinating, and this model for arcane building is perfect . Good job with it.

 

[GrandMaitre]

beautiful 5/5

 

[Moises08x]

Super coool
