Deathwing

[Kwaliti]

Some of you already know about this model of mine from chat. Time to make it public now.

~1800 polies, finishing the rig and preparing the model for animation now.

...the fuck O_O

 

[Dionesiist]

That's some serious model right there.

 

[D a w n]

my spidersense are tingling, as they espect another DC'd model. Oh and I just noticed how much your felstalker texture looks like deathwing

 

[PROXY]

Me too

 

[takakenji]

holy mother of pearl

 

[Hawkwing]

Win. Judging by the screenshot I assume he wont be like all Wc3 dragons and just fly around?

My only concerns are that his chest/stomach plate is a bit bright and his wings are a bit too bright/saturated.

 

[I3lackDeath]

This looks totally awesome!
The metallic look on some parts look very neat on him, especially the jaw.
It looks even better than the "original" from WoW, as I always found its texture rather... flat and monotonic.
Do you plan to include teamcolours?

[FireMaster]

OH MY GOD! Great model, you'll upload so I can use it?
And another question, you'll make ground and fly animations?

 

[TheFairfield]

If you do, you could also put in a land/take off animation.

 

[Skycraft]

I like the part where you posted the picture.

 

[Raven0]

holy $%*#ing shit

 

[Ganondorf]

... I... You... I...
God. Don't even think about changing that head. This War3 Deathwing just pwned the one from WoW. And I mean it. And from what I see, if this's only a WIP, then... I can't imagine how he'll turn out. Great job.
I dislike the legs though. Look to ordinary. And the body I think should be a little bigger (Or the head a little smaller from what I see in WoW.)

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Brilliant! His chest seems a bit small, though. From a completely unbiased standpoint, by the way, because I don't know what Deathwing really looks like.

Would be pretty awesome if you make both walking and flying animations, plus the transitions between them. Good luck.

 

[Kwaliti]

Time for batch answers:

At first I wasn't going to change the texture at all, but since a number of people suggested changes, I'll take them all in consideration.

Besides the portrait, no. You can always add a glow via attachments.

Yes, both sets will be included with the morph animations.

The angle of the shot is fucked up. You'll see more.


On a side note, progress will be substantially slowed down because school started here, but the model will be finished Soon™.

Nevertheless this is one awesome model for Warcraft3... It looks so cutting edge and cartoony-nextgen. Good job.

Ah God, I can't imagine myself going to sleep tonight without testing this model in Magos...

 

[CloudWolf]

Well, im normally quite a calm person but this calls for something a little extra...

HOLYARGHWTFBBQROFLOL?

Thats got to be one of the best warcraft 3 models to date Love the texture, and I can't wait to see the anims

 

[TheFairfield]

You know, his chin for some reason reminds me of Scar from the Lion King. Maybe it's because both their chins stick out...

 

[CeDiL]

pretty nice, i wonder how the animations look like, and if the filesize will be over 350kb (i guess it's alrdy bigger, i just hope not)

 

[Ganondorf]

You know, there are models that are like 600 or 700 kb and suck... if this model has over 1 mb, then I'm not stunned. It would be the most realistic I suppose. BTW I forgot to ask...
the poly count plz?

EDIT: Oh, 1800 poly... Much smaller than what I've been thinking ^^ I suppose this won't be too much-of-a-memory-takeover.

 

[Fjury]

Holy shit, I've been waiting for this since you announced that you stoped worked on Garrosh and started on this one instead.

 

[Malcous]

This War3 Deathwing just pwned the one from WoW

Have to agree that one looks much better then the WoW one :O

 

[kola]

I don't know how old you are, but dude, Start working for some video game company.

 

[Ganondorf]

Oh, one thing i see missing... that "fish-like" skin underneath his neck (See a picture of him, and you'll know what i mean...) and it should be added to the upper part of the tail as well.
BTW are you going to make the human form as well?

 

[Kwaliti]

It's alive.

This is the wing flap animation that'll be a global sequence for smooth flight animations. The current posture is just for this gif's cosmetics. I'm not sure if I can use global sequences like this, so, anyone here that can shed some light on the subject?

@Ganondorf: I'll modify the skin when I'm done. And no, no human form.

 

[D a w n]

there is 1 problem with global anims: the wings will also move like this during the ground animation, so you'll have to duplicate the wings for another geoset.

 

[Kwaliti]

Suddenly I don't feel like duplicating both bones and geosets.

 

[D a w n]

just cnp this wings anim to all of your flying anims and you should gain pretty much the same effect.

 

[Kwaliti]

Walk Alternate

 

[Fjury]

The awesomeness is overwhelming

 

[I3lackDeath]

It is incredible how smooth your animations are. >_>

 

[CeDiL]

You definitely are a genius, Kwaliti

 

[Ganondorf]

Looks too awesome to be true... I can clearly say that you "f***ed" the makers of the Deathwing model for WoW... It had so horrible walk anims IMO...
Can't wait to see the rest of the anims.
Is it me, or does the walk alternative anim on that picture do the "Wing hit" 2 times? 1 time he's looking to the left, the other one to the right.

 

[Kwaliti]

Yes, two times.

 

[Sellenisko]

Iam speechless. Sellen is speechless. My mind is speechless. My Mouth is speechless. This is the best model -I have - ever seen. This is legen- without waiting- dary.

 

[Tauer]

Holy fuck, that's good.
This, with your Lich King model, are the greatest models ever made for WC3.

Crazy, just crazy.

 

[Kalidroms]

This is probably the most epic work I have ever seen.

 

[TheFairfield]

Couldn't have said it better myself! Hoping this is available soon!

 

[xXm0RpH3usXx]

i really like the secondary motion (e.g. the flapping thats goin around) but for me it rother looks likeas if he is flying backwards...
like, he's moving his wings to much to the front while swinging

 

[Ganondorf]

Any progress?

 

[Deolrin]

While this IS completely fucking awesome, I wouldn't agree it's the best model ever made for WC3; I think the Lindormr Dragon would take that place, simply because it took one whole year to develop. Both are on the same level of EPIC, though, so I'm not complaining.
This is, however, a lot better than the WoW deathwing. Good job!

 

[Dionesiist]

No, it just has a sharper texture. EDIT: And perhaps the bonus of not being just another recycle of the wow dragon model.

I wouldn't agree that The Lindormr Dragon is the first place just because it took more time to finish. It just was... so plain IMO. It didn't fit very good-ly in Warcraft 3. And it was 1,2 mb, so...

 

[Tarrasque]

Well that Lindormr Dragon took that much because jigrael took shitloads of time to animate it, he kept the model for months!! Also this model looks more war3 fitting. Love it

 

[Vetrias]

This is godlike..

 

[RaijinSpark]

fuck shit, epic!! :O

 

[Weep]

It is incredible how smooth your animations are. >_>

It's incredible how stiff and linear many submitted models' animations are. <_<

This is looking really good, Kwaliti - I might even say better than WoW.

 

[rcshaggy]

Deathwing will destroy Azeroth before we even try to save it!
Hurry up Azeroth Defenders and save the world before Deathwing kills us all!!!!
