[HappyTauren]

Well, there are some things I've decided. First, I will start modelling again, and second, I won't half ass it anymore.


So to begin, this is intended to replace or be an addition to my my Juggernaut model, pretty much. I want it to be really powerful and have attachable axe/hammer and polearm. Possibly even team colored particles, glowing eyes, and the cool stuff. This is obviously a WIP from max, it still needs some pauldrons to complete the look, it needs its attachments modeled and of course, afterwards I will wrap it to some black in game textures, and then rig to Tauren Chieftain animations in MDLVis.

Great mesh, from a far view I thought it was high poly model. You're using Maiev's texture on this one too or?

 

[Solu9]

Looking forward to see this model unfold.

Subscribing.

Likely not, I will try wrapping it to Thrall and InfernalCannon textures instead.

I will try wrapping it to textures today, should be interesting

Awesome to have you back. Looking forward to your stuff.

I like your juggernaut model for it's simplicity. This guy looks real complex. But it's still something promising to look forward to!

I was amways wondering, is your juggernaut an armored Tauren or an animated suit or armor?

 

[HappyTauren]

The idea behind Juggeranut is that it is extremely vague. It could be a tauren with an armor that somehow covers its face (albeit that tauren would have weird horns), it could be a demon, a draenai, or it could be something out of your own imagination. Until there was decay flesh/bone, it could as well be just a suit of armor, OR something with a lifeform inside. But I am going to make Juggernaut v2.0 completely vague as in whether it's alive or an animated suit of armor.

Anyway, haven't started the weapons yet, but I've almost finished wrapping it to texture(s).

 

[JesusHipster]

Hmm, i think that wrap could be less sharp here and there. It's alittle bit of an overkill right now. Unless he is supposed to be a giant, but than the Tauren Chief animations won't do any good.

Less sharp? Heh, I was going to write that the gloves could use a good sharpen

 

[HappyTauren]

It's supposed to be both huge and deceptively agile, though. It's also supposed to look somewhat "organic" hence why, aside from pauldrons, which are obviously armor, everything else seems to be "fused" together.

Agree with JH here. The face is absolutely fantastic but the hands could have a better wrap overall that doesn't look slapped on and a different texture on the arms and legs, as well as a new "seperate" wrap section for the area down the knees wouldn't hurt either.

 

[HappyTauren]

Here, tried fixing hands and feet a bit. Also added chains, because why the f#&k not. Also, eye glow because eye glow.

 

[Solu9]

Chains are always good!
The textures are quite contrasty but I think it's good, and perhaps the viewer you use ups the contrast.

 

[HappyTauren]

It's not contrast per se, it's more so that there's not really any shading applied, shading would tone it down certainly.

 

[HappyTauren]

Tried making a weapon. Will scrap this one as well most likely.

Wooop woop Keep up the great work!

Love the inner part of the axe, especially the black "columns". I'd prefer a standard awesome demonix axe-blade on the outside though, instead of these (blurry) spikes.

 

[Solu9]

I don't know if it's the angle, but that axe looks too big, even for a demon beast thing. The spikes are a bit blurry, as pointed out by PROXY, but the general shape and inner parts looks good to me.

 

[HappyTauren]

I actually uploaded that axe, gonna have to rescale it and rewrap it a bit though. Here's a new version:

BTW I never rigged this model but it was done a long time ago, for several years:

 

[Stefan.K]

Nice looking model, you should finish it. I only dislike those...swords? They're just to simple made, perhaps.
Nice 'axe', I prefer second version instead of the first one.

 

[PROXY]

Still don't like the blade. Looks way too stretched.

The tc-parts could stay, but just normal blade texture (campaign ones for example) would fit way better. Could work out if you use a metal texture for the lower part of the spike and an actual blade texture for the upper part.

Also, a more simple and darker design for the handle would do it wonders.

And a nice little extra metal thing at the end of the handle so it doesn't end in the nowhere, maybe TC too.

 

[JesusHipster]

I still kinda think that making wrap this complex is a bad idea. It won't look too good in wc3 unless it's size is gigantic. And with Tauren animations it won't look good this big. You know, maybe you could simplify wrap here and there? I'm speaking of both the axe and the guy with the hooves.


Edit: forgot to state the obvious: this does look amazing though.

 

[HappyTauren]

I'll just finish it the way I've started it, but I still have a long way to go, especially with the axe.

BTW, here's the model before rigging if anybody wants to poke around it.

And I think it'll still look pretty good in wc3, although some of the detail will be lost. Here's a screen.

Pastaing to Saucescribe.

I am a big fan of this.
