[Adiktuz]

will look at it when I get time (currently downloading P3-Trinity Soul anime...)

basing on the preview, I guess its worth to check... ^_^

 

[reason 3]

Is your project gonna be "Angel" style?
Are you gonna make more models for it?

About this one.. looks really good, but i think boots look kind of weird.They should be thinner if you ask me.
And the hair should be longer!

 

[Cayle]

Thanks Adiktuz. cge cge. tel me when you have time.

Reason 3, i'm continuing a project of somebody else and its like a good vs evil themed one, so yes. but according to the notes provided to me, the Nephelim is the only one of her race left so i think its the only angel unit i'm going to do for a while. But i'm interested with the Angel/Devil theme so maybe i'm gonna do more. thanks for the feedback. About the boots: making it thinner would produce an out-of-place look with other warcraft 3 units so i think i am going to stick to the boots. It is still subject to revisions anyway.

COMING SOON:
Dwarven Ram Rider
Enlightened Elf
a Drow
and a Holy Knight

EDIT: oh what the heck, im gonna change the Nephelim boots

 

[Cayle]

Update pics added

 

[Traxamillion]

The anims are amazing, great job.

 

[Cayle]

thanks dude, will be working on the Apostle Next.

Coming Soon:
Gnome Techsmith
Troll JuJu warrior
Sylvan Chosen

 

[Traxamillion]

Trolls yes trolls mmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[-Grendel]

give the troll a weapon like this

 

[PurgeandFire]

Awesome models, man. IMO, the proportions will fit perfectly in wc3.

 

[Cayle]

Amph, thanks for the suggestion dude.
PurgeandFire111, thank you for the compliment kind sir.

By the way, i forgot about the character concepts. im going to add them now. nice.

Dionesiist thought of Kamas
I thought of unarmed combat
Ampharos thought of a skull club

 

[GhostThruster]

Those are really nice, are you working together with Dawn Whitelighter?

I suggest a bone Flail for the troll. Like a mace, made of bones, on a chain.

 

[Cayle]

nah, she left already. I will take over the map and the creation of models.

thanks for the appreciation dude!
but maybe i am going to go for Fists.


UPDATE:
NEPHILIM GETS NEW BOOTS

 

[GhostThruster]

Do you mean like giant gloves made out of bones or his hands D:

 

[Cayle]

bladed/hardened gloves probably.

 

[-Grendel]

go for bladed gloves.

 

[Cayle]

yeah! its decided then! BLADED FIST TATTOO TROLL!

 

[Cayle]

FIrst post update:

-Troll gets a body
-NEW Orc Model

[PROXY]

The new ones look absolutly amazing for their polycount, really nice job!

 

[Cayle]

thanks dude . was kinda trying to put as much detail as i can while reducing vertices. glad its working.

 

[Traxamillion]

this is some epic stuff can't wait to see them finished.

 

[Chucky]

You really have got some talent there, congrats. I have a couple of questions if you don't mind:
1. How do you make your models ? (Process, tools, concepts etc)
2. Do you first make a high poly model and then reduce the pollies ?

thanks dude. well:
1. i use milkshape 3d, for mesh and animations, then when its animated i convert it to mdx then put textures using Magos, then UV wrap goes to MDLVS. about concepts, i just ask for weapon suggestions and looks from the people at chat or deviant art. just mixing parts from concept arts i find interesting. the rest is a handy tool we call imagination

2. well. i made templates of bodies of different builts then i just tailor cut it depending on the model im making. most of the units there share a base model (apostle and orc for example.) bottomline is: Templates make life easier. not really that high in polies. im tryng to keep it at least lower that 1000, trrying to preserve as much detail in the process..


Animating at the moment

 

[Chucky]

Cool, thanx ! I use Zbrush, export to OBJ than import in max and animate...

 

[Cayle]

nice, still practicing photoshop, im weak at this texture from scratch stuff.

 

[Cayle]

Will be updating this as soon as i get finished on animations.

 

[Traxamillion]

can't wait to see.
