Diablo 3 - Monk for WC3 - WIP

[Taylor Mouse]

I just loved the BlizCon announcement for the new class Monk for Diablo 3, luckely it is nothing like the Monk from the expansion by Sierra

So I decided to put aside my redKnuckle for the being and started on a version of the Monk, here is my first WIP: C&C are welcome :

[madqc]

Looks pretty nice! lets wait for the rest

 

[bboy-tiger-]

Change the skin of a blademaster xD . They are almost the same.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

No, I don't like the actual models from WC3, and that doesn't improve my modeling skills either

[Taylor Mouse]

Quick Update

A quick update

C&C plz

T.

 

[madqc]

one word : fucking awesome. oh wait thats 2

I love your work dude continue like that!

Edit : i posted a link to your WIP in the D3WC forum

 

[bboy-tiger-]

Lower chests. Its good.

Few more polies , split few polies . Make 1k poly xD . haha

 

[HappyTauren]

It doesn't look like a wc3 model at all, you are doing it wrong. To make a proper wc3 model, you never model with a plane behind (because you need to deform proportions), not to mention it doesn't improve your modeling skills, either.

 

[Deolrin]

Polies could easily be reduced. For example, his necklace could consist of billboarded planes.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Update

Progress report :

@HappyTauren: I know, for now I just want him to look like the monk, deformations and stuff, when it all fits nicely together

@bboy-tiger- : it will be about 1K polys, it is now, about 800polys

@debode : I don't like the billboard stuff, and the polys are not that high

still lots of stuf todo, weapon, unwrapping, texturing, animating, pfff...

C&C plz

T.

*speechless*
hope the anims will be as cool as they are in DIII gameplay trailer?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Yes, the wrap of the skin and the animations will render this work an excellent one. Please, make him hold no weapon, so that people can use him in their RPG's
I love the way he stands, his hands' position depict a calm person, just like he should be, being a monk.
Well done! Do your best for the rest now; the challenge to make this great has just begun.

 

[supertoinkz]

use blademaster animation instead

 

[madqc]

*speechless*

Me too

use blademaster animation instead

Blademaster animations for a 2 hand staff user? that would not be good.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

1st things first, tweaking, unwrapping and texturing

I was thinking on giving the two handed staff from the trailer

btw: thnx guys !

T.

 

[bboy-tiger-]

I mean his chest are placed to high i think, put them a bit lower ?

 

[Taylor Mouse]

[Taylor Mouse]

Texture update

I started the face, pff, that was not as simple as I thought

anyway, some update :

C&C plz

T.

 

[madqc]

Oh my fucking god! That is already the best diablo 3 model so far

 

[Pharaoh_]

For god's sake, stop it, I'm jealous
Well doneeeeee! Excellent! 5/5

 

[Trillium]

*speechless*, part 2

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Thnx guys

T.

 

[syltman]

Awesome!

 

[FrIkY]

I think that the necklace is a useless waste of polies... why don't you make them like Blademaster has? But I can see that you are very talented modeler, and skinner. Great job, Taylor_Mouse! ^^

 

[TheHunterKiller]

Epicness. EPIC.

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

Great model, 1:1 with the real one, very accurate.

 

[Trillium]

don't spare polies, make a HQ masterpiece
what you have atm deserves it =))
btw, i'd vote for a Director's Cut =)

 

[Taylor Mouse]

thnx guys, and here is yet another update on the texture, body and cloth still needs to be done, I'm on holiday as of tomorrow and will be back on tuesday, next update will be then I guess

C&C plz

T.

 

[syltman]

Woooooow

eyecandy

 

[madqc]

Woooooow

Thats all that need to be said

 

[Trillium]

/kneel
/bow
/target Ground
/kiss

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Jesus Christ, only yesterday I thought that it's quite a pitty that there isn't a model to represent the Monk at all. And now I see this. Sexy Or not, since it's beardy Monk! ^^

 

[TheHunterKiller]

Winwinwin.

 

[bboy-tiger-]

Great texturing, great quality. Props man. If that is HQ model it would be epic. Tho is awesome as a wc3 model also.

 

[Deolrin]

Imho, the beads look bad. They will look much better as billboarded planes, imo. Also saves lots of polies.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

The beads do look bad. Not to mention you'd save a lot of space on the skin if you just used billboarded planes.

 

[Archipelago]

Really nice.

Pissed1: Im better looking than you!
Pissed2: Wait what am I doing in Wc3?

xD

Keep the good work up!

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Update

OK, texture update, all parts of the texture now need to be baked onto 1x 256x256 texture, so it fits the needs of WC3, not sure if I'll do the weapon on a seperate texture or not.

Here is an update on the complete model :

C&C

Btw, maybe I will consider doing the same model but with some lower polycount using the billboard stuff etc...

So up the weapon and clean texture

T.

 

[FrIkY]

Is he gonna have iris and pupil in his eyes (I hope those are the correct words )? I think it would be better if you ad them.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

I'll probably add them for the camera position, not the ingame character, since you do not see them

 

[Linaze]

I got a feeling he doesn't look like a wc3 model.

 

[bboy-tiger-]

Its a Diablo model -.-' . BTW its great but that neclasselooks terrable... everything else is 5/5 and fix eyes ?

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Holy .... fuck....

 

[thisruoy]

Wouldnt fit ingame, Not suitable in my opinion

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Wouldnt fit ingame, Not suitable in my opinion

In what way ?

T.

 

[Trilogy]

wc3 models are generally shorter and more dwarfish in terms of proportion.

So perhaps when you make this rumored low-poly version, you could alter the proportions a bit to look more like the humans already in-game.

 

[TheHunterKiller]

That. Looks. Really. Great.

 

[BlinkBoy]

very good. I'm proud to see that you are working full now instead of optimizing. Well keep up the good job.

also, the forelegs and feet look a bit cartoony/plastic compared to the rest of the body.

 

[syltman]

You should post an in-game screenshot when it's done. I do think that it will fit in-game

 

[CloudMax]

Its a Diablo model -.-'

Lol wut. This is a warcraft 3 model based of a diablo 3 character.
It is gonna be used in wc3 so it have to look like a wc3 model most of the times otherwise it wont fit in with the rest.
