it's sure purdy, but the lasers at the beginning make it a little too... epic.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Heh, it's supposed to be the ion cannon from CnC3, so blame EA if you don't like the lasers.

 

[Deolrin]

Hmm... I didn't download it yet, but does it have light and sound effects?

 

[Sheephunter]

Looks epic, As normal xD

 

[Ghost765]

needs a human building death splat imo.

 

[ikillforeyou]

*Faints*

I swear i watched the youtube preview 10 times, its so awesome, =o

In my opinion this is like 10 times better then any other one on hive/wc3c, but....
if you wanted to make somthing like this attack units, it wouldn't work very well, would it? i mean, it takes like 3 seconds to do the attk anim at the end.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Think of it as a nuke, with the 10 or so second wait until you actually see the missile filled with pretty lights instead.

 

[Alfagar]

lol, epic for sure, for quickness u could make the part with those 8 lazers fastier so all the spell that would be made would be faster, damn

 

[donke1997]

Real nice model, 5/5

 

[InfernalTater]

i agree, its EPIC, but impractical for most purposes. speed up the beginning of the spell, then it could b like a fire pit type of spell (not actually used as fire pit, but u no wat i mean)

 

[Netforce2k4]

... WTF!!! After I hand crafted one!!!

A very cool spell indeed; however because of the starting lasers I believe its uses may be limited. Personally i think it would be cool as a quick cast AoE spell if it started at 0:06 - 0:16 on the video. Just my opinion though, 7/10

 

[brized]

Wonderful! 5/5

 

[Adiktuz]

wonderful...

 

[Ingwar]

Can someone explain me basically how this is done? Is it particle system in 3d program? What is used to export it? Don't send me to search tutorials, just answer if you know?

maybe its better if you PM the one who made this...

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

It's made in Magos, a lightweight model editor for Warcraft 3. Not sure what you mean by export.

 

[blacksun10]

O_O wohoo!!
I only can say that i love it. It's one of the best models i've ever seen 5/5

 

[Tonberry]

i dont think most of you are understanding what he has made... its meant to be slow at the beginning. this is a supwer weapon, not an instant cast.

this should show you what he's created http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DZoslhWykY

 

[TKF]

Very nice!


Can it be scaled or is it just particles?

I have ion cannon in solar conquest, but that's without the awesome beginning. I'll plan to implement this if the end has MUCH thicker beam to suit my ion cannon. maybe 6-10 times thicker mega beam from space fired from the orbital ion cannon satellite which orbit the planet.

Also how many seconds till the ion beam itself fires?

 

[Adiktuz]

I think you can scale it, since I guess every effect can be scaled if you set them to be a unit's model...

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Beam doesn't scale right, sorry.

 

[ninja96]

looks good 5/5

 

[kellym0]

LOLOLOLOL this models so halariously epic.

I PERSONALY found that if you make it a flame strike, were the primary damage is timed with the major blast, and keep the secondary flame strike damage for when the lazers begin/burning ground afterwards (i timed it to 12-14 seconds for the big blast, and rig it so the major damage only effects once for the duration of the whole spell) prolly more pro ways of doing it but thats the lazyest fastest way.

good to mix with blue flames effect (dont recall the creator, tho its called plasma leak somwere)

this models most amazing feature is its size, its soooooo small holy crap for what u made! well dun!

an easy 8.5/10

 

[hayatesasaki]

You can make this more epic than it already is > I replace the model file with the spell rain of chaos, replace with ion cannon, set to a greater amount summoned, homing enabled, voila!!!! Rain of Magic!!!!!!

 

[peteian]

I LOVE IIIITTTT!! I hope you allow my the privilege of using it in the map I'm making :3

 

[dawownz]

thats fkin pro 10/5

 

[Great Chief Aeon]

Epic Model Man!! This is sooo good that is not a model, IS A DIVINE WORK!!! AMAZING!! 5/5!!!
And a question, well the lasers at the begining looks like that you have based somethings in the moonson ability dont you?
and the explosion looks like something taked from flame strike of the blood mage... i am right on something?

 

[NightSkyAurora]

​

Please make more of these!!!

5/5
+rep

 

[MagmaBoy]

[L4wless]
