Lindormr Dragon

[Parrothead]

Parrothead, I'd just like to say that your icon doesn't look like a parrot with a mustache at all. I don't even know what it is. Superb job though, Olof.

The type of bird is called a mustache parrot because of the black line that goes right across from there nose.

 

[olofmoleman]

Isnt that a wyvern, not a dragon?

Wyverns ARE dragons.


Seriously people, make sure you researched it before contradicting everything.

 

[SuPa-]

Please, could I make custom skins for it so that we can have proper red, blue, black, and bronze dragons? The WC3 dragons look like scaly, over-sized, element-breathing, horned birds. I will give you both the credit for the original model and the base texture.

I doubt he wants you making shitty recolors of his model

 

[Deep Sea Kraken]

Just to see what would happen, I exported the texture at 50% quality. The detail lose is not huge, and is exceptable seeing and it reduces the texture's size from almost 700 KBs to 90 KBs

The one one the bottom is using the .blp with the lowered quality. The difference is there, hardly noticable and pretty good IMO because it raises the usablity of this model alot.

 

[NatDis]

I plan to add horns, etc... too. The reason I cannot make my own models is that I do not have 3DS Max 5. I have Maya 8.5 and 3DS Max 9 but Warcraft III Modeling tools by Blizzard do not work with them.

 

[Tideofwar]

yeah sorry it turns out i did have all the setting right its just the dragon was flying and than it paused in mid air and than it ws flying i reseted my world editor and now its working perfectly.

 

[Jetherit]

Very Good, but not the best =/ sry

You have like 4 posts, and if you're not going to agree with the 20 people before you that thought this model was f*cking amazing, don't say anything at all.

You're not gonna add anything, I never said anyone could modify the model wthout permission.

And I didn't make this with any professional modeling program, this model was made with Oinkerwinkle's Vertex Modifier. Wich anyone can download and start modeling with.

I wanted a proper, high quality dragon, unlike the ingame dragons, that's mainly why I did not make the texture size smaller.

 

[donut3.5]

There's almost no quality loss, and a massive filesize loss, so I think that would be a very wise move, reducing the skin quality.

He is open to his opinion and he doesn't have to hop on the noob fanboy band wagon -_-

 

[SpeedBreak]

cool..
but it's too big..

4/5 ^^

I only edit my own or Blizzard's models without permission. And I'm sure Jigrael did not animate it using Oinkerwinkle's tools otherwise the animation would have either been way too slow or else it would have been choppy. Oinkerwinkle's tools save only linear anims. This is the only reason I want to edit existing models rather than make my own.

 

[Deep Sea Kraken]

Olof, even if you exported the skin at 90% quality, there would still be a noticable drop in filesize.

You could have the most pro looking model in existence, but nobody would use it if it was too big.

It's always better to have a high quality skin, because you can always decrease the quality and size, but you can never increase the quality. And if people are too lazy to compress the file some more, then that's their problem.

 

[DroZzhat]

Seriously, that thing could have been in WoW. Which I hate, but it's still a compliment >.>
Using it would more than double the size of some maps though XP
Not to say that if the need was there, a piece of work like that wouldn't be worth it.

 

[donut3.5]

Olof, would you give permission (or do it yourself) to upload the reduced skin with the model as well? This would make it so people could choose, however those without the knowledge or tools to reduce skin size could still reduce a lot of filesize.
--donut3.5--

 

[olofmoleman]

No, I do not, if anyone wants to recude the filesize by compressing or something, then may do so, but I don't give permission to upload those files that are reduced in size.

 

[SuPa-]

It takes less than half a minute for people to reduce the file size of a texture, they can do it on their own

 

[olofmoleman]

My point exactly.

 

[BRUTAKA]

Very well done, to say the least.

And needless to say the aim's are much better than that of your t-rex, these look natural and smooth.

5/5 oh and whats happend to your other dragons i loved them...

 

[olofmoleman]

Well, that old T-rex was made ages ago, so naturally I learned a thing or two as he time passed on.

And I removed the Hell Dragon and Crystal Dragon, mainly because they were based on WoW models, and not sufficiently modified in my opinion, and I'm not going to re-upload them elsewhere on the internet.
I was going to make a new Hell Dragon and Crystal dragon with this one as base, but I'm not sure I'll ever finish that.

 

[Bubba Ex]

Excellent model, but some of the fly anims aren't very smooth: such as the attack, and when you order it to a point behind it, it sort of jumps to one side a little bit before continuing with the order... other than that, the best model i have ever seen 4.9/5

 

[shadoye]

Lil help?

ummmm guys can someone tell me how to make it go to the flying form?

 

[donut3.5]

Try reading the description..

That's impossible, a model can;t have all kinds of anims. A combination of alternate anims, devour or canibalize doesn't work.
This model already has both Alternate anims and Devour anims, what you are asking is impossible in Warcraft 3.

 

[Lord_Sauron]

It'd be really cool if your Nazgul model could land like this dragon. At any rate, this is incredible. Well done!

 

[annoying]

Wow. Best model I have ever seen, beats all models Blizzard made for the game. And the take-off and landing animations are sooo awesome! 5/5

 

[Caninese]

That is awesome. I'm probably gonna use it in a swamp setting with the races Blood Elves,Trolls,Naga, and Night Elves. This is FTW!

 

[GnoobSauce]

[RAINBOW]By far the best model I've ever seen. By far.[/RAINBOW]

 

[JEva7057]

This is so cool of a model I love your work you guys!

 

[shadoye]

...i rarely commment on models no matter how terrific they are or stuff like that because so many other people have already told them and they know that they've done a bloody good job but ive had this model in my current project for awhile now and i just looked at it today...and said....wow...i cant believe he managed that. So i cant help but comment 5/5 mate, ur a legend

 

[HFR]

Just one word:AMAZING
One more word:INCREDIBLE
Just one more word:COOL
An final word:HAILOLOFMOLEMAN

 

[HFR]

[Ogre_obsessed]

Holy *&*^^(( nice model

5/5!

HEll ya look art the fucking detail this thing pwns 867475675/5

 

[lordsmell]

how do i switch the model from land walking to his wings to flap open and fly. also i looked at your undead skin i kinda need help with that too. i looked at the tutorials so please dont send me any but i imported it and i'm at the import manager thing i look at the 2 files 1 of them is the original and the 2cnd is the undead one. so i saw in the tutorials that i have to make the skins path the same so i copied the path from your readme( which is the same as the original .blp file) and i copied it in so now their both the same. now when after i change i have changed the path i closed the box and the undead skin changed back to warcraftimportedmodel blah blah it didnt stay the same can you help me please

 

[arthas4]

sorry but i dont know how to make the thing fly it can only walk around

 

[austin20111]

best model ever made by the best maker ever!!!

 

[JEva7057]

This Model Is Awesome!!!!

 

[Ostaph13]

80 votes yet its still 4.80 dude this model may be big but its amazing!!!!!!!! 5/5

 

[Darth Mannoroth]

This one truly deserved DC. but a little correction, lindorms are dragons with no wings or limbs, this one looks more like a wyvern. (two wings, two feet, no hands.)

 

[Naba]

its a great model, however, I prefer colored ones with 4 legs 5/5

 

[JEva7057]

I agree with u Naba Personnaly i like dragon with 4 legs and wings better than 2 but who cares. 5/5

 

[Fratelli Guy]

Wow, you really helped me out, This will fit so perfectly in my map! THANKS!

 

[HFR]

This model is great. Who cares if is a Wyvern or a Lindorm, i'ts a dragon(a amazing dragon). 5/5 of course. Here is the vote number 87 !

 

[IceToad.]

oh man i want that in my map.. but filesize is to big and i will go over 4 megs =((( /crycry

 

[olofmoleman]

but a little correction, lindorms are dragons with no wings or limbs, this one looks more like a wyvern. (two wings, two feet, no hands.)

Wrong.

I don't know how many times I've had to say this.

It is a Lindworm, a Lindworm is a type of Wyvern.

Lindworms are scandinavian or germanic dragons with either no or two wings, and either no or two legs, this is the two wings two legs type. They basicly range from sea serpents to Wyverns.
And Wyverns are dragons with two wings and two legs, thus, this Lindworm is a type of Wyvern.

 

[Royy]

Really breath taking model, you can see all the hard work put into it, but not really for me (don't like the color/file size is big but i'm not too amazed) would really love to see it in a Campaign or Boss fight type game. 5/5
