CaptainHec's Building Pack - Naga

[DmiriS]

This is what I have wanted to see for so long. Before this, I used models with SD graphics, but now you can add these models and completely switch to HD. Thanks a lot.

It might be worth adding icons to new buildings.
There is also an option to add an attack animation for the main building.
But I'm not familiar with the process of creating both models and icons and don't know how difficult it will be to complete.

There's an interesting idea to finally make this building upgradable but I suppose tiers should have more distinctions between each other.
As a recommendation, try to find inspiration in SD variations.

the middle one, could simply have the serpent head leveled with the structure, making it more different than the last.

last could also be a Hydra head instead

Top notch additional buildings for Naga, one of m favorite race beside Trolls

 

[rcshaggy]

Nice addition to the Naga race, but mind me asking...

What does the Reef Dome provide?
The other models the Naga got pretty covers their other needs and what not...

 

[khang2000]

these models are so good, cant wait to change to full hd models

 

[Ardenaso]

These buildings are good, I'll review them properly once I'm done judging the current HD modeling contest

 

[Galendor an'Kreil]

Although I like updates, I see a tendency of reusing similar doodads in different buildings - in particular, winged serpent is both in T3 main building, murloc barracks and default Azshara Shrine.
I'd like to suggest to remake main building completely, replacing serpent statue with Azshara statue - as WoW shrines of naga and the Eternal Palace of Nazjatar have.

 

[Zerg51]

THAT IS BEATIFUL

 

[CaptainHec]

Aunque me gustan las actualizaciones, veo una tendencia a reutilizar elementos similares en diferentes edificios; en particular, la serpiente alada está en el edificio principal T3, en los cuarteles de los múrloc y en el Santuario Azshara predeterminado.
Me gustaría sugerir rehacer el edificio principal por completo, reemplazando la estatua de la serpiente por la estatua de Azshara, como lo han hecho los santuarios de naga de WoW y el Palacio Eterno de Nazjatar.

Ty! I'll try

And got to say the new models too work well with the models too you can use for the Naga Race so they got more variety too...

Yeah and I never did care for the giant snake head as the main base thing for the Naga Town Hall Building and the Queen Azshara Statue works way much better...

And too be honest this will give Naga a more unique style too them and same with Blood Elves that can use their own buildings too and not just use the Human and Dwarf ones for theirs...etc...

Last night I was working on the work animations

 

[CaptainHec]

I think I got something, but the death animations are difficult.

I watch your work with delight and never cease to be amazed by these models and the work done.
Now you've even added icons to the buildings you made.
But I have a question, do you still have the “Naga - Abyssal Secrets” icon that was there before?
If so, could you please share it if possible?
If not, then it's okay. The one we have now is also quite good.

Done, Is it because the image is more centered? or by the green background of the other icons?

More like both facts, but that's subjective.
Personally, I find it more pleasing to look at a more centralized icon than some part of it.
As for the color, I don't have any complaints about it. Except that it might be worth trying to play with blue/turquoise shades and make icons in those shades.

I analyzed the icons for humans (blue with black), orcs (red with black), night elves (green with black (see altar)), undead (purple with black).

Considering I plan to complete:

Naga
High Elf
Draenei
Corrupted Elf
Feel Orc

It would help me a lot if you gave me a suggestion of background colors for the buttons, I have color blindness and I am not the best at choosing colors.

The Dragon Temple doesn't have a working Stand Work animation and it just slowly plays its Death animation. Their death animations still have non-naga building death popcorn. None of them have working portrait with TC plane.

AWAITING UPDATE until it's resolved.

For HIGH QUALITY: I'd suggest the Reef Dome to have an extra gem on the center top of the arch that also glows in Stand Work, and then the snakes' eyes be turned off normally and make them glow on Stand Work; the Murgul Village to have gems on the snake's eyes that also glow on Stand Work and shrink it's wings to keep the meshes balanced, and as well as some more decoration on its grounds like weapons, fishes, shrubs, etc. ; the Temple of Waves to also have gems on it's snake's eyes again for Stand Work, and the change one of the flanking corals to another plant to be a bit more asymmetrical; the Temple of Elders to have slightly shrunk statue and arch behind to again keep the meshes balanced and to prevent the arch's textures from being low resolution, and make them top most part of the statue into a real gem that shines on Stand Work; and then retexture the cube in the Abyssal Secrets to match the Naga/Sunken Ruins theme, and improve the fluidity of the tentacle: don't extend it too much, like you can balance it down or reduce one layer of the tentacle "joints" to make the lower part less blurred. And then in general, try to make some of their rubble stay for Decay

Thanks a lot! Your models were a respite and salvation for me, I really needed more naga buildings for my 5th race.
