MiniMage: It's a little heavy on the filesize, but since it's upgrades, it's technically like three buildings. So whatever, it's a neat base building with a lot of creativity and work put into it. Approved.

Great job for all the hard work put into it Sellenisko.

 

[Solu9]

A damn fine building you have there Sellenisko!
Fits your Vrykul models perfectly.

 

[Heinvers]

Am I the only one seeing a missing texture on it? (viewer bug?).

The wall texture is not showing in the viewer yeah. Haven't checked in-game.

Actually its the bug of 3D viewer. I am using sometimes textures it is not able to load, like UI textures. For example if you look on my Valkyr model you will not see the staff dragon head, you see only black blank texture. It should be working on normal model viewers and of course in game.

This is a very cool building, has a very dark feel. Would work well as a town hall for a draconian race.

 

[Go'el]

nice model Sellenisko, totally useful :3

 

[Sellenisko]

lol, that was rude, you don't need to talk like this, just don't use it. It's because of people like you, which talk only sh*t about the models, that some people not even do those things, afraid to be offended.

Anyway, nice model Sellenisko, totally useful :3

Not me. Everytime someone says about me work he doesnt like it or that it is really bad, it doesnt breake me. Yes, it makes me sad first, but than... It hardenes me. To do better, to do more. To never stop.

Didnt dl, looked at only in viewer and seems to me as if its too long ? If thats the case keep in mind about finding the correct footprint ingame.

Damn, id like to have an option in the viewer when looking at building models to have an Footman scaled 1.00 next to it for better determining dimensions

finally it's come out ~ good work buddy~ 5/5 rating

Thank you. I always look forward for your judgement and opinions.

Looks really good!

good work 5/5

This is looking incredibly good, Sellenisko; and all the better because of the amazing use of in-game textures! It also fits very well with your style & the rest of your units.

However, I'm concerned about it's ingame usage; primarily in it's length & manner of construction. See, most of the regular "Town Halls" build "upon" themselves, getting taller or slightly wider, but no longer; that is probably due mostly to problems with pathing. Think of how this would be built; you place the first section (which is kinda small by itself, also), and then suddenly an equally-large section comes into being behind it when you upgrade. This would wreak havoc upon units (or, *eesh*, other buildings) behind it. Then again when it upgrades a 2nd time.

The alternative (having the pathing of the "lvl1 base" town hall the same as the "lvl3 full" town hall) might alleviate that, but then you have this rather small 'hut-like' building occupying a small portion at the front of the pathing/selection circle; blocking units from walking behind the physical geometry due to it's huge pathing (<- which is in preparation for it's FINAL FORM)...

Eh. Just kinda worried about it's usage in-game, dude. But the mesh & wrapping are excellent. Just my two cents. : )

Alright, you got the point i was jsut inspired by the Dragonsreach in Skyrim...It pretty much looks that way Do you have any ideas how to make it...different? I am even opened to suggestions. you can draw some concepts how to change it, send it to me and I can think about it

How about just converting it into a normal building (the full upgraded one) and skip the town hall idea?

Than i would have to come with new town hall idea ! It would be kinda strage when you have all races come with tier1 to tier 3 townhalls and suddenly there would eb vrykuls with only one "stage" If it would be up to me I would let it be as one building, but i really tryied it to be functional for W3 tech-trees.

Quite understandable
I better download this version before it disappears then.

Hrm. Well definitely awexome & impressive to re-create ideas from other games/genres/etc; I do it all the time for my Factions. However, one always has to be careful to make things "fit" the 'thing you're making it for' (wish I could find a word for that). Case in point, a lot of great ideas from Starcraft 2 & Red Alert games I incorporate into my Factions; however, those being more "mass-unit/hard-counter" games, I have to consider that when porting things over.

In this sense, it's mostly a graphical problem (though the consistent style you present could be a little extra-detailed to regular stuff). "How to make this town hall work for pathing"?

Unfortunately, the only answer I can think of involves a total re-work; it basically has to "build on itself" in an upwards (or slightly widening) fashion.

I'm not that good at artwork, and don't have oodles of time over weekends... But I'll see what I can do. In the mean-time, consider what I've said.

Good luck!

[InfernalTater]

I love a good building model, and I love the way your models manage to use in-game textures and fit into the game while at the same time having a completely unique style!

5/5.

 

[Isgeir]

Outstanding work.

 

[Mgeterno11]

Great work, the colors look nice, too. 5/5

 

[Edge45]

Oh, its here, I love the dragon part

 

[Sellenisko]

Thanks guys for comments. If you would have any ideas or concept arts for another vrykul/viking inspired buildings I am all ears...or ehm...eyes

 

[Skypsi]

Could you try making so Tuskarr huts with turtle shell roofing, could be like a mercenary hut for Norse race. That be awesome. Or maybe a Taunka totem.

 

[Marshmalo]

Wow looks great as always Sellenisko!

Not a bad idea. I will think of it.

 

[Ujimasa Hojo]

Nice model. However as Kyrbi0 pointed out, the addition of the buildings on empty space can be problematic for pathing. Instead of leaving the back an empty space in the lower tiers, why not put smaller huts first?

The model looks very good! Catches the dragon worshiper feel that I got from reading something lately. I love the fact that it starts very small (compared to other Main Halls) and grows backwards. xD

Kinda like reading a book from end to beginning.

[Crixis48]
