Campaign Screen WIP

[Cavman]

Well, today I was strapped for Ideas, so I decided to make a Campaign Screen. I looked over s few of the ingame ones to give me an idea of how to light them, sense that seems to be one of the big problems with making one. I decided on making on asfter a sketch I made a few days ago. It's a Nerubian based one. I still need to add a few things and some animation to teh skeletons in teh background, but I think its showable right now.

UPDATE 7.16.07: Got a new model in for the Neruian. and Unforunatly, the animated skeletons bugged it, So I'm gonna have to find somthing else to do with them.

How do you make a campaign screen? That looks like a screen shot, but it can't be because screens are normally animated... Anyways, I think it needs to be more detailed. This close, the nerubian just looks way messed up. You should take some time and clean his model up so it looks nice and high poly for this. And maybe bring the skeles a bit closer? I really would have a hard time knowing what they were if I wasnt told.

A campaign screen is just an mdx. You just need a camera and a few lights. This is actully bassed off the Nerubian Portrait, and thats the current camera. I was trying to make it look like the nerubian is looking around the corner at the skeletons, which are off in the distance on another ledge. Its hard to see, but there is snow falling. I'll probably clean it up a bit before I post another picture.

The Model needs more detail. The picture does too. Try adding in some dead trees with no leaves, some rocks, birds, Frosty wind.

I'm happy. I found the WoW Cryptfeind, so I'm gonna edit the crap outta it and use it to replace the current Nerubian in there. BTW, I've alos got the prpor ground in, along with better snow and some Skeletal animation.

Eww no WoW
Head does NOT match the body
Use the original one
And add some Nerubian ruin pillars

Yeah, the head doesn't fit detail-wise, stylistically, color wise, or proportionally.

why not make it look like a platoon of skeletons were marching up ? seems alot cooler to me.

Also: both models look like ASS this close up IMO. thats why blizzard made custom campaing screen models.

 

[Cavman]

Origional head? I'm not quite sure what your talking about. If you think I'm using the head from the nerubian model, I'm not. I just put the cloth on its head t make it look more alive and less dead. I knew it covered stuff up, but that was the only way I could think of to make him look a little more alive besides a new skin, which I kinda did.

The pic shows what it's like without the cloth.

You have big shadow problems... fix them

 

[donut3.5]

Make a new texture for the glacier behind him, it looks really stretched.
The nerubian looks much better now.

[Cavman]

The shadow problem is actuly a normals problem. I still need to figure out how to fix that.

The Glacier uses the ingame skin for the Northrend Ice cliff. I try and use as many ingame textures as I can.

i dont think the nerubian should be scared of 3 skeletons, maybe like say.. 50? and you definitely need some doodads. also the skeletons are all in the same position, lol. the rest looks fine

 

[Cavman]

Actully, he's not scared of the skeletons. If you recall teh story of the fall of Ajzol-Nerub, the Nerubians used hit and run(geurilla) tactics to stay ahead of the Undead in the begining of the War of the Spider. This screen is supposed to show a Nerubian Warrior looking around a corner, preparing to attack a small scouting party of skeletons.

 

[PurgeandFire]

It looks nice but the gray stuff on the snow looks really retarded.

 

[Cavman]

The shadow problem is actuly a normals problem.

Thats why it looks grey.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Thats why it looks grey.

O'rly? i thought it was like a road or somthing lol

It's a cool idea indeed, and with some more work on it and more details, this could turn into something really great.
