Barracks (Orc) and Derivatives

Kwaliti:

The choice of plain purple on the support beams isn't the happiest one, but it's useful enough.

Reasons specified in the PM

 

[Go'el]

I love it man (or girl), have you used the Orcish Barracks model ?

 

[Misha]

I'm not really a fan of that shape.. could you try to make a totally unique structure?

 

[Razosh]

It doesn't really scream forsaken so I don't understand why you would use it instead of the one provided by Blizzard. Please try to make it more forsaken themed instead of just undead themed.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Probably should've commented in the Building Thread, but I don't remember it...

Anyway, yeah. It's not bad, and I like the creativity to "Undead/Forsaken-ize" the Orcish Barracks... But it's a little weird. And unfortunately, it's plagueed (lolol) by those same hideous-purple beams you had in many of your other buildings. The gargoyles are 'eh', and the rest seems mostly fitting, but those pillars...

It could serve as the Beastiary for the Forsaken, particularly Gargoyles. It depends on the map maker.

I suppose (though Gargoyles in the Forsaken? Nonsense. ). Just out of curiosity, what're you using it for?

Moderator's Review:

looks and performs nice. useful

[Collective Staff Decision]
Since this is a murloc barracks, It needs to be more original and less like an orc barracks with stilts. Do take your time pondering and sketching on concepts. If the model looks original enough when you're done. We're sure to approve the model.

 

[Chen]

So, these are the buildings you are working at with the Goblin merchant texture. What race are these for?

EDIT: Looks Cool, added rating.

 

[PlankingWolf]

Holy crud man, this is pretty awesome.
I'll be using these, I'm expecting a full out pack on you creating these bamboo buildings!
5/5. (I'm a big murloc fan, so I'll be using these)

 

[Chen]

I love the birth animation! Changed rating!

 

[MiniMage]

The rock formations kinda clash with rest of the design, but I actually rather like this one.

 

[Xonok]

Looking at this in the model editor gave an idea.

If you added some more of those spikes to the back(like there are on the front, underground), then this could be used as a flying/floating building too.

EDIT:
To prove my point



Only 2 little spikes and it'll be much more useful to me.

 

[Adaethus]

How would it look without any of the rocky stuff and the wooden support beams?
A more plain design might fit the murlocs better.

Imo it looks a bit too much like the original orc barracks at the moment.

 

[Chen]

Also, the flag is annoying.

 

[Shadow Fury]

Damn awesome barracks for the murlocs race! But I thought you'd make a Wretched Barracks after all these wretched models you did.

i think murloc

 

[Kyrbi0]

Looks pretty interesting, and I'm glad the Murlocs are getting some lovin' (though I'm not particularly keen on them myself. ). However,

The rock formations kinda clash with rest of the design, but I actually rather like this one.

I agree with this. Rocks and Murlocs (though they sound alike)?

 

[Ujimasa Hojo]

Any ideas on what texture to replace those rocks with?

 

[Kyrbi0]

Any ideas on what texture to replace those rocks with?

Dang, good question. Umm... More wood like the stakes that hold up the platform? Or perhaps Coral would make more sense (for Murlocs)...

 

[Heinvers]

Looks good. Great for Maelstrom maps Ujimasa.

 

[Krios]

Could be useful for Pandarens or Murlocs, so 4/5.

 

[Misha]

i say the stone pillars could be changed into something else and slimmed down a bit?

 

[Solu9]

lovely model.

I would say it could be either Murloc, Goblin or even a jungle Troll building.

 

[Midasowski]

Thank you

 

[7oda]

awesome model you should make one for the other orc buildings

 

[infrenus]

Any ideas on what texture to replace those rocks with?

I wold go with a coral irregular cilinder for the pillar, or a sunken ruins rock texture. For the wood try some green thing.

 

[sonofjay]

Really nice and useful model. Good job.

 

[PlankingWolf]

Dang, good question. Umm... More wood like the stakes that hold up the platform? Or perhaps Coral would make more sense (for Murlocs)...

Use wood. It would be useful for other sea creatures other than the murloc.
Anyway, yeah, I guess it needs some work on those beams.
Edit: Or if you want, you can make a separate version that have coral beams.

 

[Ujimasa Hojo]

Also, the flag is annoying.

I needed to put something which can be Team Colored.

Could be useful for Pandarens or Murlocs, so 4/5.

lovely model.

Here's the thought, I didn't want to tie this building to any particular race. If I used corals or some other sunken ruins doodad textures, it would favor use for Murlocs but detrimental to use for Goblins (not really applicable anymore in WoW), Jungle Trolls, or maybe even Hozen (not really sure about Pandaren).

awesome model you should make one for the other orc buildings

Discussion about other buildings which can be "bamboofied" will be held at my Resource discussion thread.

 

[Edge45]

Impressive, what race is this? Murloc or Goblin.
And i agree with Kyrbi0. More woodlike stakes
4/5

 

[Monzaru]

Make more murloc buildings! i love this one~
5/5

 

[JollyD]

I think it is cool for Murloc! GJ!

 

[scoolharis]

amazing murloc barrack

 

[MiniMage]

Personally, I liked it more before you changed it. I just figured the rocky pillars could've been swapped, you didn't need to swap the entire thing. ;c

Oh well, I guess I'll make my own model instead.

 

[Krasus]

Anyone still has the older version? It fitted better with my project...

The new one rocks, though, but I can't use it for the reason above.

 

[Xonok]

The first version I saw. Doesn't have the added spikes at the back though.

 

[Krasus]

Thanks mate

 

[Heinvers]

Looks good. U could have made those fangs larger.

 

[Sakurinha]

Murloc barracks? Haha awesome!

5/5

 

[Heinvers]

The changes are good. Imo the birth animation is a bit, just a bit fast.
