THE_END: Totally pimpin' skin
Beats the hell outta the one I was making way back. Good job Dark

 

[Darkholme]

[D a w n]

[ady_illidan]

[Devine]

indeed it looks realy good
10/5

 

[HappyTauren]

go teech blizzard noobs. 10/10

 

[Darkholme]

*grins*

I'm glad it's well received. I like it too. The dark one is for his transformed form. As opposed to using the provided transformed form(which looks bad).

 

[THE_END]

You could give me some credits for helping you with the wrap Dark

 

[Darkholme]

Oh. alright. My bad.

The_End gave me some tips on working with the wrap in the face, and he pointed out something I totally missed that made my portrait model look god awful. Hurray for him, cause he made me notice it so I could fix it! YaYs!

And I made the alternate form as well. last minute decision, I couldn't have a good looking non-dark version and use the crappy wc3 dark version. I just couldn't.

 

[Grievous1]

Oh wow... i love this illidan skin please make more! 10,5/10

 

[Beau]

Awesome!

Awesome! 10/10

 

[Minmixmitch]

i like it alot, good job 5/5

 

[Dezzmin28]

I love it! 4.99/5 the only thing i think is you could improve on is maybe a bit more detail to the pants/wings hes just kinda... blah but a good skin neway!

 

[Darkholme]

what about the pants/wings? some specifics would help.

 

[Hawkwing]

Only problem is he seems a lot skinnier in Wc3.

This is an awsome skin. 5/5

When a saw the screenie on the Skins database I thought it was a screenshot from WoW.

 

[Csicska]

Oooh, way better then Blizz's one. ^^

 

[Scathainn]

This is a really great model, I love the hooves, the blades and the chest. The horns are bit dull, but otherwise a great model.

4/5, So says Polyphemus!

 

[knight26]

LLLLLLLLLOOOOLLLLLL I LOVE IT 283479223/5 superb

 

[LiOneSS]

OOOOOH! Incredible. Absolute sexiness

 

[HyperActive]

Holy-moly! It's worthy the name of Illidan. His mussels are drawn ti perfection. Are you making the freehand icons or from a screenshot?
Rated 5.

 

[varsaigen]

wow. just wow. It's perfect, but I still prefer the dark illidan. But this is still the best normal illidan I have yet to see. Great job! 5/5

 

[xXDeadWolfXx]

What Are Skins To ? I Hope Any Can Help !

 

[Darkholme]

Deadwolf. I don't understand what you're asking. the sentence doesn't make sense, at least not in english. is it a direct translation from another language? perhaps you should use a translation service, such as google's or altavista's. Rephrase the question and maybe we can help you.

 

[xXDeadWolfXx]

Darkholme
1.-.-" I Mean What Can I Use That Skin To ???
2. I Want Illidan On My World Editor So If U Can Tell Me What Skins Are usining To So thanks .

 

[Darkholme]

you use the skin to change how the default illidan looks. it doesn't change the shape of his body, just what appears on that shape.

 

[HappyTauren]

Texture path is "Textures\Illidan.blp" ...

 

[Darkholme]

thx HT.. I'll fix that now

 

[varsaigen]

ah. thx Happytauren. I suppose it is the same for the dark illidan except it's "Textures\Illidandark.blp"?

 

[Darkholme]

ah. thx Happytauren. I suppose it is the same for the dark illidan except it's "Textures\Illidandark.blp"?

nope. they are both skins for the normal illidan model, cause the normal 'dark' version is just solid black. the normal one also has crap for animations.

to use both you need to copy the illidan model and change the path its supposed to use for the skin, then reimport. It would be nice to have a custom model for it completely, where the dark version is just a bigger version of the original with a new skin, but I don't see that happening from me in the next while. No free time.

 

[HappyTauren]

textures\black32.blp is texture for black illidan,
hovewer it will probably fuck up other models that use black32.blp

 

[Darkholme]

It was designed based on the standard illidan skin anyways. using it instead of the big black skin for illidan would probably look absurd.

 

[AirHead]

It's amazing and highly detailed your attention to detail is almost as good as the guys in blizz who made the special cinimatics but one question is it just a remake of Illadin or is it a specific illadin from a specific cinimatic? i see the blatent and vivid changes but what is so special? why?

P.S. this would go well with Born²modificate's high def pack (i love that pack)

High def pack

 

[Darkholme]

this is based on the WoW boss model illidan. not a cinematic. I suppose it sortof does go well with it, due to both being more detailed. his are all custom models too though. this is a reskin.

 

[AirHead]

ah i see now it looks not only good but exactly acurate even for the low quality model of illidan btw your skin goes well with the high res ones becouse they are on the same level of quality... yes i said your skins are as good as those skins and models (thats a complament) anyway yeah amazing skin GJ.

 

[Darkholme]

thx. Personally I think buildings are much easier. they're flat textures. you don't have to make depth by drawing, with buildings you can do almost all of it with the models.

I agree those are good buildings and doodads, but I actually think creature models are much more challenging to skin, particularly low poly models.

I'm glad you like the skin though.

 

[HappyTauren]

The only reason why it is harder to texture low poly models, is because you have to do all the shading yourself, while models with high polycount have integrated shading from the mesh. Also, you can bake textures as well.

isn't that what I just said?

 

[HappyTauren]

Oh xD
I didn't read it well
Yes, my above post states the same as darkholme's

 

[killbuzz]

Umm how are we supposed to use both of the models when the paths' are the same?

 

[Darkholme]

they're 2 different skins for the same model. if you want to use both, you have to know what you're doing, enough so that you can export an illidan model, change the path to the skin on it, then import as a separate model, using the second skin, with whatever path you put the second one to. As I said before, if I have time, I'll try to replace the alternate anims in the model so that both skins work with one importable model for the sake of convenience. however, that won't be happening for a while, as I don't have time for any wc3 modding till after next weekend, and after next weekend there will be more important things to do before I get this model worked on (such as my 2 maps)

 

[Celaquil]

The wings, make them look more like illidan in wow, since its him your making, take a look at this link to see how his wings is:
http://www.mmo-champion.com/images/news/210/illidan.jpg

Like, not that batlooking, more like >.> his wings

 

[Darkholme]

I could have sworn ive said this like 4 times. perhaps it was on the in progress thread before i uploaded it.

That Is Not Possible Because The Wing Does Not Have It's Own Section On The Skin. To Make It Look Like Illidan WoW Color Wise On The Separating Bits Is To Have Stupid Looking Purple Chunks In His Hair.

That Is Why It Cannot Happen.

 

[Celaquil]

Allright, sorry. Wasn't the meaning to repeat something..

 

[killbuzz]

Ahh I see, I've done some stuff like that so I'll give it a shot.

 

[HappyTauren]

Actually, darkholme, it is possible, but very hard to make it look all right, as you would have to work on flat surface, and make completely 3D design

 

[Someguy19]

Looks very good I think.

 

[Darkholme]

HT, im not referring ot the wrap being difficult, I'm referring to the fact that it uses the same texture on his hair, and if I want to purple his wings then I have to have matching purple in his hair, and I'd rather not have said purple streaks.

 

[AntoMarc]

WOW this skin is amazing man 100/5 , If i can i will +rep you
