Pyritie: Hide the hero glow during the death and dissipate anims.

13th May 2009
Pyritie: The helmet needs fixing. The unwrap's pretty messy and so is the mesh.

2nd August 2009:
General Frank: Looks good to me and works ingame. Approved.

There can never be enough troll models. This one is simple but awesome.

 

[Kingprice]

This model is pretty nice
good animations a really nice idea and good work
i rate it 5/5

 

[AIagremm]

Awesome model.
I rate it 5/5

 

[HappyTauren]

Pretty simple, but very nice and clean.

 

[zikko]

ofcourse voodoo mask and skulls would look neat on troll

 

[Misha]

You could too narrow his pants.
looks too blademaster-ish.
some other things you might add... like some troll stuff on his elbows and knees.

Rating 3.45/5 nice, work it up a bit.

~Misha~

 

[ShiroiSenji]

Prety used idea, if you ask me.

 

[TheGodOfIron]

It's working fine it's not a new idea.

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Really nice!

 

[infrenus]

Guy, try making the hair more unique, like a dread or something, but its cool 4/5

 

[D a w n]

simple but fine

3/5

 

[Direfury]

Infrenus, I've already tried giving a troll dreadlocks, but it didn't work out too well.

 

[Kyrbi0]

^This. The portrait-version looks pretty good, though, IMO.

While I'm always glad to see Troll models (even if they're not Jungle Trolls), this is seriously, like, the 20th Blademaster on this site. :<

Still, good geomerging.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

The model itself does not need a "Portrait" animation if it has a separate portrait model, removing it and all integers relating to that animations will reduce filesize. Also, in the walk AND attack slam animations the sword hovers in front of him, out of his hand.

Otherwise, a very good use of ingame textures, i love the model, a 4/5 once you fix those problems

 

[Just_Spectating]

i think the texture on the sword is upside-down.

 

[Lycan_Saviour]

in the walk AND attack slam animations the sword hovers in front of him, out of his hand.

just checked in both WE and WCviewer he's right the sword looks a bit outta place, but it hardly noticable in game

 

[warikfan]

Awesome!!!
5/5

 

[Zack1996]

Wow, loads of comments. Rather unexpected
Anyway, I did some fixes as some requested. View Changelog in first post.
Many say that this idea is not new, but has the model actually been created? I think the ones available are different from this no?

i think the texture on the sword is upside-down.

Its not. Anyway, I redid the sword to something different.

Ok, thanks for the tip. However, you should know that model editor shows stuff wrongly sometimes, try it in game

Overall, thanks for the support. Did some misc stuff and fixed the UV mapping slightly (realised what I thought was his feet was actually his ear XD)

 

[PrinceOfThaWest]

Great model! 5/5

 

[trolman]

Cool warcraftish model but his pants make him look fat (yeah they do,look!),make 'em thiner and it would be perfect 4/5

 

[OnkelManfred]

well i don't like it

 

[Just_Spectating]

well i don't like it

then don't post unless you have criticism or an explanation.

 

[akblabla]

i think you should make him a bit thinner

 

[Kael Theron]

Yeah really good model, I like the idea, only think sth seems to be not all right with hero glow on his sword

 

[Misha]

You could too narrow his pants.
looks too blademaster-ish.
some other things you might add... like some troll stuff on his elbows and knees.

My suggestions were not taken into consideration as i see x3

 

[Zack1996]

As stated in my +rep, I did make him skinnier, it just wasn't in the screenie I think.
Also, I did some changes to the sword. I used the Forest Troll Trapper's axe texture as the texture for the sword.
Also, the other things you suggest are not the easiest to implement. Not only does the model have short arms, you can bearly make out the elbow...
Anyway, I did as asked by the moderators. Hope this gets approved soon :S

funny :3 i would easily add moar things to him x3

 

[spoofone]

nice model there, love the anamations 5/5

 

[skullslasher]

I don't like it... not very unique. 3.5/5 IMO.

 

[Narandza]

I would like if someone can re-skin this dude so it looks cooler, I'm not so good at skinning so I will leave it to someone else.
I don't know how to work in model edit programs but I think this isn't so hard to make? Or was it?
Cool! 5/5

 

[TheAncient]

oooohhh nice!

 

[Misha]

Did the hair-backstab glitch got fixed? oO

(and no it's not a double-post XD another guy is above my comment)

 

[Zack1996]

Yep, it was fixed. Do you like the helmet? It looks somewhat spartan XD
I kinda like the helmet myself, I love Spartan Helmets!

 

[Revolve]

Very useful model, simple but nice.
What i don't like tho is the texture and the head. The texture isn't bad at all, but I think you should add some more "Troll-theme" things, such ad skulls, voodoo etc. Right now it just looks like a troll with some boring clothes on, nothing unique.

About the head, right now it looks roman, has the hair comes from the helm... Í think you should either remove the helmet, or make some spikes instead of hair, to match the troll theme.

 

[Misha]

oho?

 

[Cralle95]

Can't anyone unarm all these awesome models ? it would be great cause then you can put atchments on items so when they pick up a "Sword" he holds a sword =) Thanks Before.

 

[Zack1996]

You want an unarmed version of the model? Sure, I could get that done for you if you want
Credit me if you use please
Thanks for te comment BTW

 

[Miaow567]

Interesting idea and perfectly fitting.. why should orcs be the only blade masters but I find the head to be rather large and "egg shaped" other then that perfecto!

4/5

 

[TheHunterKiller]

Yay for trolls. This is simple and nice.

 

[punwisp]

Eh? Make him buffer, Forest Trolls are buff, not skinny =P

 

[Zack1996]

I thought the trolls in Warcraft were skinnier . Anyway, I'll make him more muscular and stuff

 

[punwisp]

Jungle Trolls are skinny, Ice Trolls/Forest Troll are quite muscular, I think dark trolls are about the same

Playable trolls in wc3 are jungle trolls. So make the skin grayish and its a jungle troll, make it buffer if its a forest troll

 

[G0DFATHER]

I always love a good blademaster model

 

[-Sh0ck3r-]

I like TROLLS and this is awesome model! 5/5

 

[Dragonson]

Awesome model Zack! =D
5/5!

 

[idf3333]

Awesome ill have to try this ;D i love trolls so this will be fun to try ill rate after ive tried

 

[xDeathKnightx]

This is awesome for Troll races, or for some sort of kick ass creeps on a melee map 5/5

 

[NeLtar1on]

Can i edit it a bit please? I will only remove weapon.
