Ideas for an UI

[viiva]

So I made a quick sketch for an UI, but I need some ideas to put into it,
cause I have no real theme to work with and its boring now. Any criticism/help is welcome too.

Think wood+metal

mhm, it could be a troll interface, with some voodo masks here and voodo maks there. (cause it doesn't exist a troll interface released for people; if you want to share it later)

but the sketch itself looks awsome

 

[JokeMaster]

If it would be a troll ui...It should have grass!
But for me looks it for an ogre ui.
If it would be an ogre ui it should have bones and maces, and wood ofc.

 

[viiva]

Yeah and trolls dont use much metal eh
Ogre is a nice idea, I'll use that, probably add some chains and weaponry.

How's this?
Before:

After:

yes you're right maybe add some chains on the minimap? ( if it wouldn't take to much place)

but i already said: awsome

 

[Paladon]

An interface which looks as if you're inside a tank or something, much metal, some lights, one lever, etc. But not too dark

Current one looks promising. But it doesnt seem to follow a specific theme.

 

[viiva]

Nah, I want to keep much wood and decided to go for Ogre.

 

[Devine]

that looks great.
The wood looks like it's not quite a cylinder. needs more shading =/

 

[viiva]

Better?

 

[Kazzo]

for me it's a fel orc ui anyway is a good ui

 

[Squidle]

Nice one dude =3

Maybe your next one could be... Draenei?

 

[syltman]

No next one should be goblin!

 

[Panda]

Nice work man.

 

[ike_ike]

Dunno. Looks a bit toooooo sharp. Also, the light is kinda weird.

 

[Revolve]

Looks really awsome atm. Looking forward for the final result :3
Could mebe work a bit more on the metal. Its placement, construction and shading, but overall awsome.

Wow this is really awesome!
When i saw the first WIP picture, i thought you would make some crystal thingy.
Whatever. Good luck with the UI.

crystal was the first thing which came to my mind too (but it looks more like wood since the lines are more like ~~~~~~~~~~~ than __________)

have fun working on it (UI's are always great but I think there already is a bunch of wood around there x)

 

[darknezz003]

Wow...you're really good...^^
Did you used photoshop?

I have a question...after making the ui...what's the next step...
I mean the edges of the UI in game is human ui edges...

Its really nice and all, but I think the colors are too bright. Try to tone them down a bit and your lightning seems to come only from the front. In most of wc3s uis it comes more like from the center of the screen.

nice.. cant wait to see the final product... will you make this publicly available?
