Item models

[ANdROnIQ]

I'm making an RPG map and I need models of items, to hang in air and turn round with time (as most of them do), and maybe glowing yellow. I don't wanna a separate model for each kind of item (like Big Bloody Penetrating Broad Sword of Violence and Huge Bloody Penetrating Broad Sword of Violence), it would be simplified, but even so, I didn't find everything I need in the resources section. So, I need:
1) a cape/cloak/mantle (maybe simply cut from Jaina model);
2) a magic staff (maybe like JainaStaff by jatter2);
3) a breast plate (there are lots of such attachments, like Captain Armor by Kitabatake, so, if some of them are yours, it would be good to take one into air and make it rotate and glow);
4) a helmet (the same thing, there are some helmet attachments like Helmet by Kitabatake);
5) a pair of gloves (no attachment yet);
6) an amulet or a necklace (no attachment yet);
7) a hammer (like Paladin's, or what, maybe from ThrallHammer by jatter2);
8) a bow (maybe with quiver and arrows in it, can be made from Copper Bow and Quiver both by Kitabatake);
9) a belt, maybe like the one of giant strength, or BrewmatersBelt by RedFuser;
10) a knife, as dagger of Kelen's escape, or the projectile art for Maiev (that is not used ingame);
11) a skull, maybe just the projectile of Death coil, but rotating.
I hope the listed models do not require images for them; just do as you like.
The other parts of equipment were found already.
Please help me with my map. It would be great to stop the invasion of treasure chests . Note that the same resources could be very useful for much more other maps.

If this helps, it's also model Sword of Destiny by xXMephistoXx, that rotates and glows as it is needed.

I've sent appropriate private and visitor messages to the original authors, and initially, this request is targeted to them. If they give permissions to edit their works, this can be done also by other artists.

err they're all attachments. I never used any 3d modelling tools and i don't know how to make the models twist in the air.

 

[pikachu123]

well when you download them. change the model file of the item to the attachment? it is only on the ground but not floating

 

[ANdROnIQ]

argh I NEED NO ATTACHMENTS! I need item models because:
1) attachment models as items are hard (and sometimes even impossible) to select ingame (or to give orders targeting them);
2) they don't roll, and always face the same angle, as treasure chests (when the camera is in chase mode, rotating with the Hero, it's very annoying when you can use an item as a compass, the idea is the real impressions of wandering in labyrinth);
3) they don't glow and even sometimes lie on the ground, what makes them inrecognizable ingame;
4) they are sometimes even invisible, cuz the real models are lower than their Z zero (so, they apper somewhere underground).

ok ok dun be angry boss. just giving opinion

 

[ANdROnIQ]

One more reason - when you select an item with attachment model, you see it in prop window from the previous selected object's camera what is bad too (it can make the item invisible in the window).

BUT I do really think that it's a good idea to remake some attachments into items. Even if someone can make one or two of the listed maodels, please help me!

What you are asking for is more the animation side of modelling, and most people don't have access to a good animating programs for warcraft 3 models (all the freeware modelling programs don't export animations correctly).

I think if you wan't an animator to take interest in this you should find the attachments you want to use and add them to this post. It'll make life easier for anyone willing to animate them, instead of them finding the attachments for you and then getting to work....

Thanks, added links to the attachments on THW, but it also needs permissions from original authors.

 

[xXMephistoXx]

You have my permission to use my model any way you want, just remember to credit me!

 

[ANdROnIQ]

Ok, the latest news are that I'm gonna to finish map before September, so it will probably go without the requested models. However, I still wait for them for the next versions, and I still believe that it will be useful model pack for all the Hive.

erm there is this thing called an tems spinner here on hive you can use that as the item model file and use triggers to create an atachment on it it works pretty well

 

[ANdROnIQ]

can you give direct link to it? I rarely go into soft section on hive.

 

[Rhodesy]

heres the link here
PLz rep me

 

[ANdROnIQ]

Thanks a lot, but the items still don't appear in prop window. Maybe I'll use it.

EDIT: I managed to apply camera to the model.

EDIT: It has wrong death animation (actually, hasn't it at all). Can someone fix it?
