Lich King

Kwaliti · Nov 30, 2009

Worked some more on the left shoulder. It's still not done. The wrap is meh on some parts. I'll fix it.

Slaydon · Dec 1, 2009

nothing more to say than.....

EPIC

Tauer · Dec 11, 2009

So, how's this awesome model coming along?

Kwaliti · Dec 11, 2009

It's going great. I stopped working on the animations and started to refine the textures. When I'm done, I'll add the remaining animations. So far the only absolutely required animations missing are Death (which I'm working on) and Dissipate.

Tauer · Dec 11, 2009

Awesome

Looking forward to release.

I3lackDeath · Dec 11, 2009

This will be probably become the most downloaded model here on Hive!

Great job on what we can see so far, especially his cape. Which voiceset will you use by the way? As this is a merged Arthas-Nerzhul-model, there ain't too many standard voice sets that fit its awesomeness.

Achille · Dec 11, 2009

the lich sound set would be good... but i found a cool thing awhile ago which is a deep and more echo like version of the evilarthas soundset. i think theres a tutorial around that tells you how to overwrite the soundset thing, ill try to find a link to the voice.

it's a good thing you don't live up to your name of low quality

Just so you know that I haven't given up on this.

low kwality

nice model!

Crazed_seal2 · Dec 20, 2009

C mon dude, many eager people are waiting for this models release. And how do you god damn animate models in milkshape, make a tut or something dude!

i second this motion

Kwaliti · Dec 20, 2009

There's not much to it - I place the basic keyframes which give me the rough shape of the animation. For example, basic keyframes for an attack could be a standing frame, a frame where the model prepares to swing, a frame where the swing is done, and the final frame which is actually the first frame, and when you play it, the animation is a pretty rough swinging animation. Then I add more movement in-between frames and tweak the timing by copying and pasting keyframes and deleting the old. For more natural animations, you should try to do them in front of a mirror.

Dentothor · Dec 20, 2009

there already are some really good tuts on animation and modeling. why waste time on another?

That's probably the best way to do it [well, there's motion-capture-suit-things...]

Pure win.
Best model made. Ever.

Tauer said:

I fully disagree with this statement.
There are models made far bether than this one. For example, Niko Bellic from GTA IV.

man he meant the best model for wc3...
anyway, keep working on it lowKwality, it's really super awsome!

tee.dubs · Dec 25, 2009

Why niko bellic? Its not like GTA is known for their incredible detail and quality 3d (then again i stopped after San Andreas, it started getting a bit silly), why not mention something that is mega like a halo monster or something? And its a completely different engine with a different purpose and creation. To compare the two is a bit narrow minded in my opinion.

on-topic: DO WANT.

takakenji · Dec 25, 2009

if i compared this to WoW's, the only difference i'd see is....

none.

Piwlady · Dec 26, 2009

Damn epic, the most epic wc3 model ever :O Splendid work!
But what is file size? i guess it's HUGE

i guess its under 1 mb, i feel like 400-600

Kwaliti · Dec 27, 2009

The last time I exported for a test, the whole thing with the textures weighed in at about 350kb. I doubt that it will go above 450.

RaijinSpark · Dec 27, 2009

lol i though it will be 2mb lol

incinerate11 · Dec 27, 2009

wow a lich king that ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE LICH KING!!!

this beats general frank own by far, his own looked awful no offense, basically felt like Admiral Proud-more with a different costume.

totally epic.. might i suggest some blue eyes? he mustttttttttt have that to be called "the lich king"

I believe it was already said that the program is can't handle the eye glow.

Or did I misunderstood it?

Mulgrim · Dec 27, 2009

...

infact, he even said that he would add it later in magos'

Lmao.Me · Dec 27, 2009

Ahoy, we wantz Death anim gif!!

THE_END · Dec 27, 2009

LK, this is sick, I can't believe I haven't seen this until now. Good stuff sir

RaijinSpark · Dec 28, 2009

so when will it be publish?

I3lackDeath · Dec 28, 2009

I bet the correct answer will be: "When it's done!"

RaijinSpark · Dec 28, 2009

I'm looking forward to an awesome EQ model

Kwaliti · Dec 29, 2009

Woo, an update after a longer while!

Excuse the missing textures - I don't have WC3 installed at the moment.

I'm planning on hiding that Frostmourne during Death and add another free jointed for an easier dropping animation.

Sunchips · Dec 29, 2009

Idea

Sexy death animation

would be nice if you added a cinematic animation in wich he falls to his knees but stops his fall to the ground by shoving his sword into the ground and holds his balance against it and then another animation where he regains his strenght again and stands up on his feet again

Would be nice if you had him in a boss battle and this happens when you think you've just beaten him but you just enter the second phase where he is more powerful

just a tip.

I like your project, rep for you before i forget it mate

Evillizard · Dec 30, 2009

Lol, I am SO DAMN TIRED of general frank's model being used EVERYWERE. If I ever make a map with this, I'ma use this model instead of the WoW model I have.

the WoW one dosn't even have a death animation, too.

Evillizard · Dec 30, 2009

I have to say though, even without this or my WoW model, I would use Meteor_Daemon's model. It looks much more buff. But back to the topic. This is epic. The only differences I see from this and the WoW one is shinyness and pits of detail (like making the model bump up in some places like the skull on the shoulder, when you just did a texture, which is equally as good imo) + This one somehow fits Warcraft III. This owns General Frank's model is so many ways I can't even imagine. Including downloads. This got more downloads before it got uploaded. Know how?I MADE A TIME MACHINE AND DOWNLOADED THIS 2000 TIMES.

EDIT: Sorry to GF, I didn't mean to state that in a rude way... now that I read over it... lol... It's a good model, but It has a lot that could be fixed with it. And to dentothor's reply

there's already modeling tutorials on the hive, why make a new one

or w/e he said,
there are modeling tutorials, but if you're someone like me you have troubles with tutorials unless each and every step is EXACT and you have to ask questions of the tutorial maker to get it.

EDIT2: Btw, when this is done will you be making a quick version of him before he becomes lich king? Just by removing the helmet and the eye glow?

I3lackDeath · Dec 30, 2009

Even though you could use the WoW model, this one will be definitely the prefered one, as it is made custom, will have a much smaller file size and using less custom textures. Pretty many advantages (not to speak of 100% fitting animations).

Btw, I thought it was illegal to talk about those WoW things here?

Evillizard said:

I think so. I'll simply glue Arthas' head from WC3 with a couple of modifications.

I3lackDeath said:

Unless you give out links to download WoW's files and resources (except icons), no.

Evillizard · Dec 30, 2009

Unless the moderators are communist, you can talk about whatever you want. You just can't DO whatever you want.
And I use wow models in my maps, and they usually range 500-700 file size. It's not like you couldn't have a couple of them without it being full.

EDIT: OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

EDIT2: OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

EDIT3: OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

EDIT4: OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

Smiley · Dec 31, 2009

Dude....this is amazing. And just in time too, I'm making a map based on the Death knight starting area in WoW, and I need a GOOD Lich King model.

Also, good idea making a helmless version too. I never really liked the fact that arthas is mounted on a horse in Wc3. I could just imagine how useful it'd be to some people.

Keep up the good work!

Kwaliti · Dec 31, 2009

Stand - 3

Evillizard · Dec 31, 2009

I'm guessing the pause is just something about it the program being gay. + the white parts

. Good job, we're all excited. This is going to be by far the best model on the hive for years.

Deolrin · Jan 1, 2010

More leg movement, especially on the knees.

~~Wrong, wrong, wrong. He must explode upon death, then Bolvar Fordragon must approach him, take his removed helmet, and place it on his head.~~

This is spectacular. The texture (in terms of contrast and saturation, etc, etc) is fantastic. I imagine it will work well in-game. Can't wait to see this finished. Don't let me down!
