Remember at my WIP thread when you guys said that my Naga Tentacled Guardian, if modified, would make a great defensive structure for the Faceless Ones? Well, I've kept my promise and made the Tentacle Pit.
This version has a different pool where the tentacle pops out of from the original Tentacled Guardian. The teamcoloured base of the pool is a modified Sacrificial Pit that was remapped to use the metal parts of the Faceless One texture. The swirling portal pretty much remains the same and is of a permanent purple colour rather than being teamcoloured. The tentacle itself is, of course, reskinned. In addition to these changes, I have also made a custom birth attachment for this structure.
This model uses ingame textures, so no need to worry about texture paths. The model also does not require a portrait since there was one already built-in from when I edited it. The custom birth attachment that comes with this model is uploaded as the model's portrait, so be sure to rename it to FacelessBirth.mdx and then change the path from war3mapImported\FacelessBirth.mdx to FacelessBirth.mdx after impoting it.
If you want to use this model then feel free to do that, provided that you'll give credit to me in return.
UPDATE 1:
Updated the Birth animation and changed the white glow of the portal to a dark abyss. However, I couldn't get the texture of the Birth mesh to actually animate ingame because the War3 Model Editor didn't save the applied texture animation for some strange reason, so for now it's static.
UPDATE 1.5:
Finally got the animated texture to work! Thanks to Misha for helping me fix that.
UPDATE 1.75:
Recalculated extents.
UPDATE 2:
Recalculated extents again and changed the dark abyss of the portal to look like a bit like a black hole.
UPDATE 2.25:
Removed white glow and recalculated extents... AGAIN.
UPDATE 2.5:
Adjusted the portrait background and recalculated extents. Hopefully that should finally eliminate the issues regarding the health bar being displayed too high up above the model.
UPDATE 3:
Removed the portrait background as it is not worth keeping and recalculated ectents for the final time.
