Deathwing

[Dr. House]

I smell that when it is released, some terrainer will instantly make a truly awsome terrain (and a better one than yours ) Looks damn amazing.

Seriously why did you say this.... xD

 

[aider]

Nice work! Will this be finished before August? Or is there a lot of hard work remaining?
The https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/texturing-surfacing-274/wip-deathwing-reborn-189234/index6.html thread have been dead for over a month, so Im getting a little nervous

 

[-W3SK3R-]

This model when will be released it will going to have abbove 10.000 downloads.

 

[Deolrin]

Seeing how his Lich King had over 30,000 downloads, I sure as hell hope so!

 

[Silverfish423]

My god. I...wow. Epic. Amazing.
Cant wait ^.^

 

[Kwaliti]

Tested current three animations - Walk, Stand and Attack Spell - all of them are going to be tagged Alternate, as this model is going to have two sets of anims. Some world editor work is needed to make the walk animation match the speed.

 

[M0rbid]

Huh. The music you used blocks this video in germany. Just wanted to inform you about that issue.

Attack anims are quite awkward because the tail is well you know,BUT IT WOULD BE RATED DC!
Who cares about the Filesize!

Bah. Can you try a proxy or should I wipe the music?

I don't know. What's wrong with it?

Use Hide My Ass! to bypass this issue.

 

[Xian]

I don't know. What's wrong with it?

look at the tail when he attacks,it curls
But if you want it that way i cant disagree with you since you are the creator of the best mode in hive
CANT WAIT!

 

[Dionesiist]

The attack animation is a bit sluggish, in that he doesn't really do much. Though there's little he could probably do, so I've no idea how that might be fixed.

 

[Kwaliti]

That's true. This is probably the only thing he could do in air. Speeding the anim up would definitely screw up the wing flapping. A probable solution could be slow yet powerful attacks in-game. I'm also planning on adding a flame emitter from his mouth during the anim. I'll see if I can do something about it though.

It looks more natural this way. It would be quite awkward if the tail stiffened while he's attacking, wouldn't it?

 

[-W3SK3R-]

Hey Kwaliti are you planing to make some new model from some famous unit?

 

[Kwaliti]

I doubt it. I'll probably finish Garrosh one day, but that's probably going to be it.

 

[aider]

Awesome that you're finishing this, since https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/texturing-surfacing-274/wip-deathwing-reborn-189234/ seems to be dead..

 

[Kwaliti]

Stand:

 

[Deolrin]

A little too fast, maybe? Looks awesome, nonetheless.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Looks like he's fucking himself. Can dragons do that?

 

[Kwaliti]

The gif is slightly faster than the actual animation.

Looks like he's fucking himself. Can dragons do that?

The head movement makes it look like that, probably.

 

[Xian]

Stand:

Why dont you make it's Stand 2 like this?

Model (WILL LAG IM WARNING YOU)

 

[Deolrin]

That's more like Stand - 3 or Stand - 4, Xian. Stand - 2 should be something simple and relatively not rare, such as looking around.

 

[Gorb]

Model (WILL LAG IM WARNING YOU)

This could be stand-3 or stand-4 don't you think then the anim with the "He looks like hes fu*king himself" could be stand-1

{EDIT}

Stand:

Maybe a few mouth movements.

 

[Xian]

Maybe a few mouth movements.

Hell you double poster
Bro Please DONT
@Deolrin
youre right stand -3 should be right
Anyway how about a victory anim where he shoots fire while his head is looking up?

 

[Kwaliti]

I'm having trouble with the landing animation. I made the whole landing sequence and the problem is that whenever I hit the land button (spell based on Storm Crow Form) the unit lands and then plays the animation. Is there any way to set it up in the editor later so that the animation plays during the landing and not after reaching the ground or should I make a simple snap of the wings as the animation to mark the landing?

Alot of people (like myself) will prefer to just code the landing, animations and all, to avoid problems like this.

BTW, this model is really incredible, I really hope you end up finishing it ^-^

 

[warman333]

just wondering what is the next animation going to be im really interested it looks great you shame blizzard cuz their deathwing is rubbish compared to yours from what i see

 

[aider]

I really hope you end up finishing it ^-^

He has to https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/texturing-surfacing-274/wip-deathwing-reborn-189234/index6.html is dead and there is so many people looking forward to this. He has probably worked very hard with it aswell, so he's past the point where he can give up on all that hard work

 

[Kwaliti]

Not sure if I should add a melee attack.

 

[Deolrin]

A melee attack would probably be for the best.

 

[missfairy]

I suggest giving him a swipe with his right and left claws as his attack 1, attack 2 animations. The one posted would make a very awesome spell throw animation, though. IMO It looks like he's spitting a fireball at something.

 

[SMBComix]

We will also have a version that, like the dragons already in Warcraft 3, is only in flight mode right? I was thinking this Deathwing would be useful for a Warcraft 2X campaign remake and that would be useful.

 

[Kwaliti]

Both flying and grounded animations are going to be included.

 

[Xian]

Not sure if I should add a melee attack.

How about that as spell throw?

 

[aider]

Will there be attachment points on his wings? So I can add flames like in the cinematic at 1min and 40s:

 

[Gorb]

Maybe you could make a spell slam/attack slam animation where he slams his tail or maybe stomps

 

[Raven0]

The animations are looking great man.

IMO this IS the most impressive WC3 model I have seen. Even better than Anarchianbedlam's prowler and Dickxunder's succubus.

I wouldn't spend too much time giving this thing 30 animations at the cost of file size (although I'm not quite sure how much those affect file size). I do, however, think that a claw-swipe for a basic melee attack would be a good idea.

 

[SMBComix]

Yeah man keep it simple like you did with your Lich King models. This is pure win!

 

[Kwaliti]

I need some ideas for the mid-air death anim. He can't really fall down to the ground as it's not really possible in the game. I was thinking of an explosion from his belly that engulfs him.

 

[aider]

Can it be with a lot of special effects? If so, his eyes, mouth and all of his cracks could start glowing really intense and start shooting out light, then he explodes like 100 tons of C4 with a lot of fire.

btw, you have a feeling of how much is left of this project?

 

[Kwaliti]

Four animations and a shitload of post-processing.

 

[SMBComix]

Your explosion idea seems pretty cool, Kwaliti. All I was thinking was a simple re-use of the generic in-game dragon death explosions but mixed in with some fire this time around (not sure if that's allowed though).

 

[yoojinho]

good! bro...!

but, What is deathwing's skills from WC III?

 

[Xian]

good! bro...!

but, What is deathwing's skills from WC III?

none,you make skills on your own,triggering and editing values etc.
kwaliti's only making the model,not the skills

 

[SMBComix]

If I were to translate Deathwing to Warcraft 3 from how he's put together in WoW... uh... that'd be impossible because he's not a raid boss with spells yet. So far all we've seen of him outside of quest lines is him being a dragon and flying over random zones at random times torching everything in his path and giving newbs and lore freaks like me achievements for our first redshirt death in his flame.

 

[Kwaliti]

Just some fire-based abilities would be enough, I suppose.

The anims are all done. Just to finalize it. That should take a while for me to figure some stuff out.

 

[Silverfish423]

your amazing

Can't wait ^-^

 

[Kwaliti]

You're all going to love the portrait, trust me.

Just a couple of stuff left to go!

 

[SMBComix]

Wow! That was fast!

Can't wait, Kwaliti. Home stretch!
