High-Res Battlecruiser

[Warhunter]

I'm sorry guys, but i'm pausing this for a while. I just haven't got the will right now, seing how it was possible to just export models from sc2 beta kinda broke my mood.
Although, i think i'm going to send the separate UV-maps to coudwolf later on so that he may skin them one and one, that way, maybe he's results would encourage me into completing this.
Otherwise, i will post the 3ds max file and the mdx incase someone else wants to play with it, but i'm hoping to still complete it myself, it just might take a while.

That's sad. :/
I hope that you'll get your mood back!

 

[Fingolfin]

Warhunter, i have something that i want to show to you specifically later on, that might make up your mind.
Might take a few days though.

Alright, thanks, I think. ^^

 

[lightmax]

Something new?

 

[lightmax]

Are you still working on it?

 

[Fingolfin]

Not at the moment. But other people can report interrest if they want to continue. i will also try to send UV's to cloudwolf.

 

[Deolrin]

Damn, that sucks. The model was really amazing. Come on Fingolfin, don't give up now.

 

[lightmax]

I may try to do what needs to be done, but I can't promise anything. And I can't do the texture.

 

[Fingolfin]

Hmm.. ok, i've gotten my hands of the ripped SC2-beta, so at least i can get brilliant looks of.. well, anything. I won't promise anything though.

Battle cruiser looks nice so far. How did you get the rip of beta?

That topic is against the site's rules. Just as you know.

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

And back to the rules of THW I requested a war3 version of Yamato and Missiles but so far no response, I didnt say that you Fingolfin was gonna need it as well.

I just wanna tell you that I used an unzipped version of ZDsoft recorder and it casued lag in 1 video I showed to you, but with Fraps that can record only 30 seconds I made very smooth videos. Anyway those videos show them at High texture&graphics.

I no longer need those screenshots because one patched fixed a problem with particles not showing properly on high grahpics, that's why was the particles difference that I posted about long ago.

 

[supertoinkz]

Any news?

 

[lightmax]

Is this topic dead :s ?

 

[Warhunter]

I don't think so.

 

[Fingolfin]

I'm just a bit busy, that's all. Have been working all weeks on the project in my sig.
Sorry for being so lazy on this
Will do some kind of update to retribute.

 

[lightmax]

So? What's new by your side?

 

[Fingolfin]

My computer got "accidentally" reformated the other day. It's a long story, but a lot of my stuff has gotten lost.
This model is not affected though, i do have it on my backup disc, but my Photoshop and my 3ds max are both lost, aswell as a lot of other programs (including wc3).
I will have to reinstall all this stuff before i do anything, but it is still going to be tight. My final grades get set in may, and i have some school-related stuff to get done before then.

 

[lightmax]

If you want, you can send me the mesh, I can work on mesh using Blender (importing from 3DS) and then it back to you. Just tell me what to do.

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

So there are people interested in finishing the BC but not creating the Yamato and missiles for it, hmm.

 

[lightmax]

I don't know particle system for Warcraft III, and for the missiles, the only thing I can do, is the mesh, I can't animate them either.

 

[Fingolfin]

Lightmax. the mesh is finished. It's actually just wrap and anims left. It's so simple i should be able to do it in no time, especially when cloudwolf will be making textures, but i don't have much time to spare for warcraft, or even for being home!

I won't excuse myself anymore, we'll just see when i have time enough to reinstall 3ds max and all that.

 

[lightmax]

I can also do some unwrapping using Blender...
I can try to unwrap it and send you the unwrapped ship, if it pleases you then you can send it to Cloudwolf.

What about the missiles you will use with it? WillTheAllMighty doesnt reply and so far no one showed any interest in making them.

Im still bugging myself to think of how to make a channeling missile throw without a dummy unit and ofc making it shoot several missiles one after another, not at the same time like Barrage.

 

[Fingolfin]

Use? Me?
i'm not using this model for anything. I would recomend triggering the spell though, so that the damage will be synchronized with the spell art.

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

True, but Im waiting someone to make a missile and a Yamaro fireball. Probably by adding dummy units that also shoot is the way to make a BC shoot from more than 1 place.

 

[Fingolfin]

I agree. Dummy units is the way to go.
Missile barrage has actually been removed from the game though, but if you're talking about the regular laser missile, i could propably do it.
We'll see about the yamato, though it's propably just ribbons and particles.

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

No one wants to do these 2 missiles as if im asking for a model from scratch, I will be grateful if you do both or one of them (missile is 1st priority cause Yamato could be Fireball+Warstomp at impact but still is better to do it). You mentioned how in my videos it wasnt clear how they look. Ok look here:

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/requests-341/requesting-projectile-164714/

this pic should be clear enough. For the Multiple-Missiles of the BC, I would do this: Barrage with cooldown and 1 Target max, if it doesnt shoot missiles one after another, I will have to create 2 dummies that additionally attack the target..

 

[Deolrin]

Wait, didn't the Battlecruiser use a laser?

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

No they are plasma cannons, the missiles you see. I should have asked in the first place, someone who has SC2 because it needs the charging for Birth, the cometh with the tail for Stand and the shockwave for Death animation ( for the Yamato) and if someone could make the missile would be nice...

This is thread is about the BC but since they should go together... And my images in the thread could also help just in case, I used to have videos, can make videos again if needed.

 

[Starcrafter]

when its finished,would u submit it?I would gladly appreciate that.

 

[supertoinkz]

Any news? Please do it D:

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

Things are getting slow here, so dont get your hopes up for coming soon.

 

[Warhunter]

The sc2 editor is now released so this isn't very useful any longer.

 

[Landmine]

The sc2 editor is now released so this isn't very useful any longer.

Not really. Its quite useful for those who require a battle cruiser model (high res) and are unable to get their hands on set editor, such as me.

 

[Fingolfin]

You don't have to be in the beta to get the editor. Just go to the beta page and download the beta, you will find the editor icon in the installation folder. It is a separate program and does not require battle.net.

 

[varsaigen]

Reading through this thread, I think I can take a look at making that missile you guys wanted. It looks pretty cool, and could be an interesting alternative for an attack. So, I'll see what I can come up with. I don't think it should take too long.

BTW, Fingolfin, your ship looks epic. :3 I think I'll buy a fleet from your shipyards.

 

[varsaigen]

Bump.

Just reread the thread for anything I may have missed. As for the missile request, I have completed the Yamato Birth anim, and am simply waiting for TheTerran to review it to determine any final changes. Once that is done, I can begin working on the Yamato beam, and possibly the missile in his projectile request thread. That way, we can finally have a Yamato Beam weapon for this wonderful model!

 

[Deolrin]

Hey, I have a question... Is the main Battlecruiser mesh itself, with animations for Yamato Cannon and Death, and a texture done yet?

 

[Fingolfin]

No, only the mesh. No animations or texture yet.
I spent a lot of time figuring out how i should solve the UV, but i just don't really feel for this project anymore.

 

[Deolrin]

Damn. :/

 

[Landmine]

No, only the mesh. No animations or texture yet.

A shame. I could have used this model. Why not release what you did to the public so anyone who can, can finish it?

 

[Fingolfin]

Well, i had the idea of trying to do the UV firstand publish the model as MDX together with the texture (with printscreened UV coordinates) so that anyone who wanted could make their own texture.
I will try to get to it, otherwise, i will just upload the max file.

 

[Fingolfin]

Here's the max file, have fun.

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

Now you made it only for 3ds max users... Anyway Im using the original BC and Medivac that I can't share for obvious reasons and am going to delete when I'm done with war3 editor very soon.

But since no one wanted to complete the Missiles, here I'm posting the missiles, the Battlecruiser data and abilities in this map. So, with your model and these abilities you can have a BC from sc2 with the way abilities look like, well at least to high degree accurate. You can modify any of what's done by me here as it is too simple but for Varsaigen's effect ask him, though I dont see what better you can do out of it, as WE doesnt allow much more ^^

ATA/ATS Laser Battery




Varsaigen's Yamato Charge



Yamato Missile



Yamato Impact



These effects have more point when used with the right triggers, so I suggest using them from the map, unless you make them work otherwise. Not worthy for a resource and no sounds because I use custom. I didn't remove the leaks, so do it if you want to, it's not like something will happen to your map if they leak.
