[The_wand_mirror]

[Wazzz]

Ivysaur looks sexy so far, keep up the good work XD

 

[Malcous]

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Nice page you have there.Pokemon models are really useful to many!Keep on making all the 150 xD

 

[HappyCockroach]

lol varsaigen how did u manage to type like that? they always change the case of the letters...
im anxious to see your models!

 

[varsaigen]

... wow you posted before I got a chance to delete the comment? lol Caps Lock was appareantly on. I can't see the right half of my keyboard and was too lazy to redo the post

 

[HappyCockroach]

oh noes! now I make no sense!

 

[animalover]

The links for koffing and weezing dont work they just send me to a forum page

 

[HappyCockroach]

Yeah, they were disapproved, I'm gonna edit them as soon as I fix my laptop

 

[HappyCockroach]

I'm making multiple types of models now...
Separated the gallery in two sections to avoid another thread creation...

 

[varsaigen]

so now.... what the heck is this? Oo

 

[HappyCockroach]

A happy creature from the ocean, ma friend.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

It reminds me of the Lochness monster.

 

[varsaigen]

or Spore

 

[HappyCockroach]

UVW Wrap made...not finished, since the head is not done and it lacks some fixing...

 

[varsaigen]

lol the murloc skin? XD lol might as well use the naga stomach scales for the front as well

 

[HappyCockroach]

Nah, I don't think so. This model is supposed to have 11 texture variations, as the Murlocs have. Also, these variations can be changed wether for the Fin or the Body, it will look alright in both ways.
Then, it is 11 x 11 variations of the whole model, meaning 121.
Did you hear that?
Combining the texture choices for this model we can have 121 different models.

 

[varsaigen]

lol got a lot of models to make then XD

 

[HappyCockroach]

You didn't understand it.
I'm gonna make a model that uses 2 textures.
I can use many sets of 2 textures, for instance:
1 - Murloc Nightcrawler
2 - Mur'gul Reaver
or maybe
1 - Mur'gul Slave
2 - Murloc
You get it?
That means that with ONE model, using one of 11 textures in one texture slot, and one more of 11 textures in the other, I can have 121 different final results. That means 121 different looking models with only 1 mesh.
You get it? xP

 

[varsaigen]

i understood you. 2 textures per model, and variations depending on the textures you use as you switch them out. Still, 121 is still a lot of models...

 

[HappyCockroach]

yeah...half of these won't look very different from the other half, which I won't use, most probably. But at least 30 may look good, and these ones I'm using.

Finished the Wrapping:

Lol i tried using Kimberly's Undead Murloc Skin, it looks undeadish now! =P

omg ima wtfhaxcreepah not kewte anymoar

 

[wereguy2]

The zapdos thing nearly gave me a fucking seizure!
Personally I do not like these models, but the filesize more than makes up for their.... really dodgy look.

EDIT. What is that thing? (In the post above)

 

[Devine]

I think you should redo the body 's wrap. not the head because it looks pretty fabulous but the body. I like the huge fin on his back too. Just putting a little bit more effort in the body would improve the model as a whole a lot. I for one hate bad wraps and in most of my models, they're kinda unfindable because I hate messy wraps that hard. I put most of my time in the wraps, when I model. then mesh and then ask someone to animate it or I rig it onto blizz anims. =)

 

[HappyCockroach]

thanks =P
the murloc texture is very narrow. It hardly fits any other model.
even harder was to make the model accept both Murgul and Murloc textures. They are considerably different...
I fixed mostly what could be fixed now:

 

[Devine]

Looks better but could still be better (the tail is stretched)

 

[HappyCockroach]

I think it's rather fine...I'll animate it...

 

[LsK_LaDyGaGa]

Woot go zaptos woot =)

 

[D a w n]

the purple one is the best one

 

[animalover]

How is the charmander model

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

No updates yet? >:O

 

[The_Grapist]

Very nice...
Keep on The Great Work...
Rating:5/5

 

[Deolrin]

But this.. sea-monster-murloc-mur'gul-lochness-monster-sea-unicorn-sea-thinga is so uber D:

Animate it pl0x

 

[HappyCockroach]

Updated.

 

[Yixx]

nice! Charmender done! ^^,,
Who is next? Squirtle i think?

 

[HappyCockroach]

Yeah, squirtle =D

 

[BlinkBoy]

you know you can save a lot more of space on your models if you optimize with mdlvis 1.40 and, afterwards, you squish the mdx. Here's a sample.

However, if you use this method your animations will be linearized, so a bit of quality will be lost.

 

[HappyCockroach]

Wow thanks! It looks pretty much the same and yet it saved a lot of space. Sure I'll be doing this.
I'll fix the anims and optmize it then.

 

[BlinkBoy]

you know if you would do that to all your pokemon models, you could actually get 100 (where they 100?) pokemon models into a map and still be playable at b.net. Surprising isn't it? if each takes 10kb like this one, it ends up taking 1mb for 100.

 

[HappyCockroach]

Indeed. They are 150. Now that the multiplayer maps can have 8MB, for sure they will all fit in the map, no doubt about it. What I'm not sure is about finishing them before Warcraft III becomes an abandonware... 0.o

btw, I will update all of them, since I need to update the shared texture in the old ones...right now if anyone imports metapod after importing charmander and they overwrite the texture, all the models except metapod will have no eyes, kakuna and beedrill become invisile, etc... xP
When I update them, they will be all optimized.

 

[bboy-tiger-]

Nice models. Keep working. I hope I will see Pokemon RPG soon -.-' .

 

[Yixx]

Seems like the 'Red Rep Gem' and the 'Pokemon in Progress/not started' pictures dont work anymore

BTW: What model now?

 

[HappyCockroach]

I had no internet for two days...that's the result:

666 polies

that's the most evil buddy I ever modelled.

Inspired by Diablo II Fetish. Everything there is 100% freehand, from the texture to the animations.

 

[Devine]

666 polies is quite a lot for such a small model

 

[HappyCockroach]

I don't think it's too much. All polies have a proper use. I won't make a shitty model for the sake of getting it low-poly.
IMO, the polycount is something to be worried about when it goes over 1000 to models like this one.

EDIT: I'm making a concept art for Fetish shaman, so I get to know it better before modelling. If I retrieve the data from my fucked up laptop, I'll make a Fetish Shaman.

Damn, I used a webcam to capture this image, that's why the resolution is so lame...

 

[Stelvio]

Nice work i'd love to see you make a squirtle then you'd have all the 3 starting pokemon
