Diablo 3 - Monk for WC3 - WIP

[dansaDisco]

well in the .gif, it seems like from under the waist he's completely still?

 

[CloudMax]

Yes, dansaDisco is right, it look wierd like hell when you actually focus on the legs.
The upper body moves very much but the legs is like stone.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Ah, I though you ment the belly.... ok now I see it, you are right, maybe I can fix this, ... well just a little

I got a question, if I want to make the weapon seperate, what requirements does it need ?
I mean, what direction do I need to model it, pointing to the front, up, etc.
do I need to add an animation ?

etc...

how do I test it ?

T.

 

[Sheephunter]

Have you done Spell, Death, Spell Slam, And some others...

 

[CloudMax]

I think he would show them if they were done.
I think he is working on fixing the current animations insted, like making the legs move on the 2nd stand animation.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Yeah, I show each time I finished something so, no I haven't done anything else that is finished yet, I did redo the stand ready animation... but busy with it and ofcourse the mini model competition #1

T.

 

[HappyCockroach]

You got so many jealous comments from the hive modellers. lol

Here's another:

This model is quite alright.

Yepp, you notice that they are jealous only by reading their comments.

 

[Just_Spectating]

subscribe.

i love the model, but please keep it with the quality it has right now.
if anyone is to even Use this model in a map, that map deserves to have other awesome imported models.

so please just keep working in this quality.

i do have some C or C

The run.
seems more like a jog down the street, or a slow paced run to a classroom. not really a running toward action type thing.
but its still fine.
i just see him as a fast type, as seen in the trailers, sprinting toward his enemies.

stand 1.
i think its almost perfect, maybe just a TAD bit too much movement, but perfectly the diablo standing style.
plus people do not consider that other stand animations will be randomly occuring, so it wont look as weird just looking at that one stand animation.

stand 2.
the feet problem as issued.
i think he should take a step back, stretch his back, as he is viewing the landscape.
a tiny step, just to have some movement,
then at the end of the animation, the step back into his original stand 1 position or w.e/

the model.
the back of the head only bothers me a tiny bit,
just maybe increase the size of the back of his head --> a bit more.


i do hope you make those other Diablo3 models in your style,
so that they will all fit together, replacing those other ones.

you are very talented.

 

[Mulgrim]

damn i need to learn how to model from pictures, where did you learn ? that looks amazing

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Update on the stand ready animation, changed a bit from the original one, I like this one more

C&C plz

T.

 

[HappyCockroach]

Very diablo-ish and appealing.

 

[PurplePoot]

Being a monk and all, I'd suggest some alternate attack animations which involve using his fists.

 

[HappyTauren]

Looks more like spell channel.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Mmm.. spell channel, is that in WC3 ?

T.

 

[HappyTauren]

Yeah, when some spell is "channeled", meaning it's effect lasts over a period of time.

 

[HappyCockroach]

It looks like that because he concetrates at his opponent with extra attention. >.>
IMO it looks just fine, nothing noticeable in-game that's worth complaining about.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

ATTACK - 1
it is based on the first one, but starts from the new stand ready animation

ATTACk - 2

( the actual speed of both animations is faster, especially the first one )

C&C plz
T.

 

[redmarine]

Impressive I must say.

Maybe it's just me but I somewhat dislike the second animation because it is too fast.

Could we see the walk and run animations?

 

[syltman]

ATTACK - 1
it is based on the first one, but starts from the new stand ready animation

ATTACk - 2

( the actual speed of both animations is faster, especially the first one )

C&C plz
T.

Faster then that? That's a tad to much methinks especially on the second one becouse you can't really tell what he's doing

 

[Linaze]

Waay to fast.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

I think these GIF:s are running slower on his computer.

 

[Just_Spectating]

i don't quite like how attack two he kicks like that,

it looks more like attack alternate two, with fists n all.

or maybe spell throw

 

[Taylor Mouse]

I think these GIF:s are running slower on his computer.

Yeah, it seems that Gifs do not have the same speed on each computer, cause on mine both of them are rather slow....

T.

 

[redmarine]

He jumps 2 times within a second.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

It is actually 1 jump with two kicks, it is based on the official trailer, when he first enters the mausoleum ( or whatever area that is ) he does these 2 animations.

T.

 

[HappyCockroach]

So export the .mdx and attach it here, and everybody can see the animations as they are...

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Or screenrecord the animations via softwares like Camtasia Studio or Hypercam.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Whoo not soo fast first I will complete some of the other animations, like spell slam, cast and death

then I'll post it for review, and then, when I still feel like it, I'll do the 100 fist move some alternate stand and an alternate attack.... looots of work to be done...

T.

 

[ike_ike]

Saved and viewed it with Windows Explorer, is slooooow. But a nice animation.

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Hmm with that model you are somewhat forcing me to add him although I thought he could never make it gameplay-wise in Wc3. But now I got ideas circling in my mind ;p

 

[HappyCockroach]

Saved and viewed it with Windows Explorer, is slooooow. But a nice animation.

I did the same thing now. Such great anims, ignoring speed, that appeared too slow now.
Speed should be a factor to be ignored when judging these anims, Taylor_Mouse knows with what speed it will look good. The motion itself is awesome.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Finished :
Spell Slam
Cast
Death

One question, how many frames does a dissipate need to be ??

thnx

Update on the Special Attack , and yes it is bare handed

C&C plz

T.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

One question, how many frames does a dissipate need to be ??

The usual amount of frames for a Dissipate animation is 2000.

 

[Just_Spectating]

he needs to bend lower on that upper cut

 

[Taylor Mouse]

he needs to bend lower on that upper cut

Even more ?, I already lowered it twice, but ok, when I look at it for a while, you are right

btw thnx Dan
T.

 

[Just_Spectating]

its gotta be like street fighter uppercuts

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Won't attached weapons cut through his body parts at that animation? Or can you just remove the attachments for certain animations oO

 

[D a w n]

Won't attached weapons cut through his body parts at that animation? Or can you just remove the attachments for certain animations oO

you could rotate/move them for certain animations.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Yeah I was planning on moving the attachment point from the weapon away during the fist animation(s) so all the weapons should be invisible during these frames

T.

 

[HappyCockroach]

You can attach it to a 'bone_weapon' that can have a visibility modifier. Then, in the fist anims that bone can have a 0 visibility keyframe and when the weapon should show, 1.

 

[dansaDisco]

Though, then it would probably look good with some sort of.. "staff case" on his back, but meh I guess that is not necessary

 

[Just_Spectating]

yeah, during those animations, the attachments can be on his back, as if he sheathed them.

 

[Maker]

To me it looks like he does not reach far enough with the uppercut:

 

[Just_Spectating]

that too

 

[Solst1ce]

Even more ?, I already lowered it twice, but ok, when I look at it for a while, you are right

btw thnx Dan
T.

Uppercuts aren't mainly excuted by the strenght of your arm. The power comes from the movement of your hip and your upper body - you bend down, rotate a little and in the last bit, while you're bending up again, right before the actual hit you kind of "discharge" the power with a sudden movement of your arm. Your arm/hand doesn't move above your own/the enemies head at all, as it's shown in the current animation. The maximum altitude might be right before his own face.
EDIT: As "Maker" said, the uppercut should reach its target. You do that by bending towards your target a bit while bending down

You should really change it. You don't have to make it look 100% realistic, of course. No offense, but it looks ridiculous to anyone who knows how to fight.

Anyways, good job so far.

 

[Myth_Zero]

is the model finished now?

 

[Taylor Mouse]

@Solst1ce : I'm getting scared of you man

naa, I'll see if i can alter the reach when his fist is about the height of the enemy's chin, so that he actually hits it

T.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Update :

the model is about finished

just 1 question, do I need to add team color or hero glow, cause I do not want to add team color....


T.

 

[dansaDisco]

Meh, I think this is one of those units who shouldn't have team color.

Hero glow will suffice just fine.
