Pyritie: Yes, it is probably as simple as you can get in terms of a model but hell this is definitely useful.

 

[Deolrin]

Subscribing to the model thread... Have fun with it. No need to give credits.

 

[Krarnal]

Well this IS rather simple But i suppose it could be useful for terraining yeah

 

[HailFireer]

Ye. Its awesome compared to filesize. Useful too.

 

[PrinceOfFame]

Yeah it is really simple but it have really small filesize...And it is really usefful +rep!

 

[Narandza]

This already exsist as a (Paladin.mdx) - and its black hero glow and btw I use flyer shade for shades in caves with opend' roof.

 

[Deolrin]

This isn't a black hero glow. It's a billboarded plane, so no matter what perspective you look at it, it will always look like a sphere.

 

[Michael Peppers]

Also, hero glows are made of 3 billboarded planes, so this is indeed smaller than a glow.

Good job, I may find a use for it (maybe a corruption spell or... something?)

 

[Linaze]

Meh, this is done for terraining purposes, but I guess it could be used as sfx for a spell as well.

 

[Misha]

kekekeke i DARE ya debode to make the model use ONE polly

 

[Deolrin]

Well, Linaze, it has no death or birth animations, I'm unsure one can use that as a spell SFX without them.

And Misha... Impossible to make a square-ish plane with 1 polygon

It would be a lame triangle.

 

[HappyTauren]

It's easy to make it with one poly, you just gotta make sure you wrap it out of texture bounds, and that wrap width and wrap height is NOT checked. That simple.

 

[Misha]

It would be a lame triangle.

noup, blood elf sphere is one polly too

EDIT: anyway, i made it and PB it to ya debode

Well?

 

[krisserz]

Can be very useful and very small filesize.

 

[Mr.Teapot]

Extremely useful. Thanks for making this! +rep!

 

[Leeroy]

I've already seen this...ah yes, in Diablo III beta map of CloudWolf. It's really the same model, the name too.
Dunno what to think.

But, since you're a good boy, I'll say you made this. And so, you get +rape.

 

[zolga]

simple black

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

I don't get it lol.
No sense explaining.

this model is incredible simple.

 

[Rafinius]

I'll give it a 4 because it's so useful (No 5 because it was neither much work nor is it mindblowingly awesome).

 

[s4nji]

I'm confused, where does this thing placed on terraining? @_@

 

[Deolrin]

I don't know... Void requested a black version of the white "Glow" doodad from the UTM. Probably as some... eyes, or something.

 

[s4nji]

Then you're making stuff that you don't even know what for? D:

 

[HappyTauren]

I love how it's "unacceptable" yet approved.

 

[Deolrin]

s4nji, lol, I just fulfilled a request. Terrainers should probably find a use for it, I mean damn, those guys can make gigantic Transformers-style robots out of archways... So yeah.

And, HappyTauren, yeah.

 

[s4nji]

O i c

 

[darkzxx]

this thing is used for the sky of terraining

 

[FunkyDude44]

How is this useful? Understand im not bashing, i just don't quite get how its supposed to be used.

 

[Deolrin]

Terrainers have their uses for all sorts of thing. As eyes for a giant beast made of doodads, as a dark glow emitting from some place, as an unholy glow on someone's weapon, I really don't know.

 

[darkzxx]

or making sky !
sky has alot of different colors

 

[oOmassOo]

It's cool and useful!

 

[GodLike]

Useful!

Hi Deolrin, this model is perfect for Reforged, because one can no longer "fake" a shadow from a unit with invisible model. So it's the perfect substitution. However, the current blackglow model is hovering a bit above ground. I tried to fix it by attaching it to a unit and giving it a negative height value, but this doesn't fix the issue either.

So I'd have a request: Would you please make a version of your black glow which doesn't hover?

Cheers!
