Lich King

[Aedanthos]

I'm speechless. An amazing model!

 

[PROXY]

awsome!...

only suggestion would be to make his sword bluer and glowlyer

 

[Kwaliti]

Anyway, I've been busting my ass with the walk animation, until I got something that satisfies me. It needs a couple of tweaks and I'm done.

 

[Deolrin]

I have a question. Why is it black?

Too lazy reassigning all the materials?

 

[Kwaliti]

Too lazy reassigning all the materials?

Precisely. And besides, why should I do that when it's only a preview?

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Hmm it may look better if the arm and sword wouldn't be almost still when moving and perhaps directing the sword a bit to the ground instead of being horizontal would look better.
But dunno what you got in mind for the finished version^^

Looking really great so far!

 

[syltman]

The awesomeness. Love it

 

[Gyrosphinx]

Holy freaking cowbone milkshake awesome!!!

 

[Whisper]

He should run in walk anim imo
good model
and big size probably ^^

 

[Kwah]

Walk anim needs work, me thinks. What I'd suggest is adding more rotation to the body depending on what foot he's on (swagger).

Nonetheless, that's one kick-ass wrap, stand anim and model!

 

[Revolve]

Looks rather fitting to WC3 models atm, didn't think it would be. If you relase it, be sure to posta low res and a high res version. Nicely done

 

[Kwaliti]

Seriously, is it more awesome when the lord of the dead walks or runs?

It was already in the works.

I'm not arsing to make a low res version; If people like it, then they'll use it - if not, they'll gtfo.

 

[Kwaliti]

Waiting for input.

 

[Kwah]

The swagger is now swaggerful. It's now awesome, and the only thing I might suggest is a bit of head motion.

 

[Gyrosphinx]

Holy shit C:|

 

[gohan43]

the only thing that looks weird to me is the capes texture. I dont think its possible for fabric to have that much light on it, it makes it look shiny and fake like a plastic toy

 

[Kwaliti]

It's actually the .gif compression which contrasts the colors too much. Also, it can happen, it only depends on how it folds and where the light is hitting from.

Unless you're talking about the tabard, which is a bit too bright.

 

[Mulgrim]

can i see a screeny of the skeleton please? i'll give +rep

 

[Kwaliti]

There you go:

 

[Mulgrim]

thank you +rep

 

[Thyrael]

The lower leg parts moves too fast when it comes to set foot on the ground. Further the sword should have a little bump and down due the path the upper body moves. The cloak moves through the left bracer. This model should have no issues, cause it looks fantastic. Would be bad if such minor things remain in such a great model.

thats not going to be noticed in game. you know that right?

 

[Kwah]

Smoother animation is always noticed.

 

[Kwaliti]

I couldn't fix the clip on the left arm. Think of it as if the cloth is going in between the armguard and the glove.

So?

P.S: This is hell to animate. Sometimes I just want to give up and go ask around for an animator.

 

[GnoobSauce]

so. this is amazing. great job!
not much to say besides it's fucking perfect. blizzard modelers would shit their pants xD

 

[shamanyouranus]

This is so damn awesome. And the walk animation is pure sex. But my only suggestion is to add a Walk Fast animation, where he runs (but really kick-assly). If you have a Walk and a Walk Fast, people can use his awesome strut, but it also won't look hella weird when they try to have him move fast and he ends up power walking. But otherwise it looks very nice.

 

[d.ray]

Nice job )

 

[Asomath]

I think I might be smelling a Directors Choice...

That is if you can get through the animations without being lazy.

Seriously, I do think you should go all the way with the animations:

Stand
Stand 2
Stand 3 (Perhaps the one where he sticks frostmourne out, like in the WoTLK Cinematic)
Stand Ready
Walk
Walk Fast
Attack
Attack 1
Attack 2
Attack Slam
Spell
Spell Alternate (Maybe)
Spell Channel
The Best God Damn Death Animation You Can Think Of

Yep, those are what I THINK would complete (and make your animating life miserable)

Cheers,
~Asomath

 

[Dentothor]

if ur making a walk fast, make him hold the sword with two hands and hold it to one side while he runs. that would be pure epicness

 

[syltman]

Stand 3 (Perhaps the one where he sticks frostmourne out, like in the WoTLK Cinematic)

No that will prolly look silly

 

[Kwaliti]

Stand 3 will most definitely be the one where he looks at Frostmourne, just like in WoW.

Walk fast will be the same run like in WoW.

So far, I've been planning these animations

Stand 1 Done
Stand 2 - Looks around Done
Stand 3 - Looks at Frostmourne
Walk Done
Walk Fast - Runs
Stand Ready - Holds Frostmourne in two hands
Attack 1 - Basic two-handed swing
Attack 2 - Underswings Frostmourne to the left, slices from top left to top right with one hand
Attack Slam - Feint swing into an overhead slam
Spell - Raises Frostmourne in the air
Spell Throw - Swings Frostmourne at his target.
Death - Gets hit into his midsection, stabs Frostmourne in the ground, drops on his knees, leans on it a bit, tries to get up and then drops face down.
Dissipate

 

[Deolrin]

Holy fuck, can't wait to see the Death animation!

 

[Achille]

This model is... EPIC!

 

[Midnighters]

Dramatic death animation?

 

[Lmao.Me]

-Sub

I'm speechless.

 

[Midnighters]

I know right?

 

[takakenji]

I know right?

+5 usefulness


anyways, the model is looking great so far! can't seem to find any flaws

Smart @55 much?



Well anyway, there are no flaws I see in it other then the ones you have already seen.

 

[CloudWolf]

Dang! That is one high-quality model, gj

 

[wowcraft]

you got rep from me and when i see this model 5 stars are coming from my way. damn this model looks gorgeous...

 

[Kwaliti]

I still have to add more leg movement. You might notice some clipping, but that couldn't be fixed. Damn cape.

 

[Mulgrim]

he needs to move a little more, also the tabard is still

 

[Asomath]

Yes, like mulgrim said, although the tabard isnt being effected alot, it will proabably need to move a bit. Your gonna move the left leg a bit more, so thats good. Looking pretty badass XD

~Asomath

 

[Kwaliti]

When I said legs I meant the whole area below the waist. It won't be a problem though. I'm going through hell right about now. I'll hate making the walk fast, death and attack animations, because from a dev point of view, they are difficult to make.

 

[Midnighters]

What do you use to record those? or do you make gifs?

 

[Dentothor]

milkshape has a special toggle that records them as a gif.

 

[Achille]

alright i doubt this thing could get anymore epic, once this comes out, i will worship u.

 

[Mulgrim]

my god, really? where

 

[Does]

So Really nice you could make the white hair go out like in WoW if possible lol.

 

[Kwaliti]

Actually, I use Fraps to record this and then I convert it to .gif using Jasc Animation Shop 3.
