MiniMage: Work on lowering the filesize.

MiniMage: Boom, magic happens. The filesize still looks hefty at first glance, but this is a two in one package deal. With the lowering of filesize to this level, it's approvable.

 

[HerrDave]

Very well done, lad!

A much needed & wanted model indeed!

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Wow, this looks extremely useful. The other lizard models on hive are... yeah. Great job!

 

[Moy]

nice!

 

[salihmezzi]

awesome!!!! 5/5

 

[Splub]

Great model! Thanks a lot for sharing.

 

[Hantoo]

Animation Rating 6/5
but the shield's wrap is little wierd
But I like the Walk Defend, but i think you should change it to stand channel
For People who make spell, can use it as Rushing While Bashing people
and make a slower walk defend (Walk) if you decide to change it walk defend

Extremely useful, Overall 4/5 just need to improve the shield

 

[Razosh]

Looks fantastic, it's extremely useful and it looks great.

 

[Hantoo]

This Is a Poisonous Blade, it can kill you in seconds...
Even the Lizardman Race cannot stand the Poison

[Gluma]

Thank you all wery much guys, I didn't expect such a good reception.

Hayate, what exactly do you mean by shield wrapping? If you're talking about it clipping through arm and shoulder, I think I'm gonna fix it. What about the walk defend animation, I'm not really into ability making, but can't they just use it with it's provided name with triggers? I'd create a duplicate of that sequence called stand channel, but I don't know how to copy multiple keyframes in Mdlvis (if it's even possible), so I'll have to manually copy all of them, which is D:

 

[Hantoo]

Basicly the Shield Look Wierd , the UV wrapping

the walk defend and stand channel is just optional, not really needed though
just use the old one ><

 

[Moy]

Make the light green part on the back as scales it will look better.

 

[Hantoo]

Change the Internal Name

Picture

Shield

 

[Gluma]

Model updated according to given advice.

Hayate, I've just done that, thanks.

Originality: There are not many lizardmen models on the hive that are not naga-looking ish. This one is quite original. 6/10
Quality: It looks good, matches w3 style and animations are good as well. The problem is the filesize, it has 326 KB (quite a lot, I think), but I repeat, it looks good. 9/10
Usefulness: This model is very useful as a basic melee combat unit. 8/10
4.2/5(4/5)
Anyway, keep improving!

 

[Anknaton]

Looks awesome... Keep it up! I will use it for sure!

Nice Lizardman you got there!

 

[Gluma]

Thank you for the review.



Btw, does anyone think that a dissipate anim could help? In case someone wants to use this as a hero model.

 

[Minder]

Thank you for the review.

Yes, it would make it more useful.

 

[HappyCockroach]

very cool. the animation work at this is great.

I just ask myself, though, the custom texture you're using is pretty close to the dragonspawn itself, I know it would be a pain in the ass now, but you could've used the in-game texture, couldnt you? :v

oh, and you could 'clean it up' removing unused animations ('deathninada'), that would help a bit with filesize too.

overall, great job, willing to see the others

 

[Gluma]

HappyCockroach, the texture contains the teamcolors, so achieving the same look with standard dragonspawn blp would be not a pain in the ass, but hemorrhoid.

Good point on unused stuff though.

 

[Kyrbi0]

This is pretty dang good for a first-timer, man. I'm not a huge fan of Lizardmen, but this is definitely a good representation of the race. Nice & cohesive, good joints, simple construction... The only thing missing is in-game textures. Le sigh. Can't win 'em all, I guess?

So, what do you have planned after the Lizardmen set? Any... Trolls...?

 

[Gluma]

Kyrbi0, I dunno. I have an idea of a heavy dwarven steam land cruiser.

 

[Homor]

An absolutely excellent model. Always nice to see new creatures brought into the Warcraft world.

 

[Zed]

Your models are interesting and has a good concept.
4/5

 

[Vinz]

Really awesome! How creative.

 

[jonbon29]

Very nice dude I liked this lizards texture a lot. I don't know about the sword I don't like it but its just me,make more lizards dude.

 

[Gluma]

Updated the sword texture.

 

[Maximum_Evil]

really nice lizard models! only the file sizes are pretty big!

 

[Vinz]

Perhaps you could use the in-game texture, then create TC in the mesh itself (separate geoset with its verts wrapped around the legs/arms.

 

[Gluma]

I think I'll stick with custom textures, they would lack details and look less distinctive if I used ingame ones.

 

[animewidri2]

Wow! Awesome model!
<3

 

[Gluma]

Kind of update. Sorry for not updating it for so long.
Alternate skin, no more scimitar.blp (100kb) and some scale tweaking.

 

[MiniMage]

Hm, wait a second. There's two models in this? Hm. Try and squeeze down the filesize by at least another 100kb. Optimize the model, lower the quality of the skin, use ingame textures. Whatever is necessary.
Experiment, be creative. I know you can do it.

 

[Gluma]

If I use only ingame textures, quality will significantly drop. Is 220 kb still too much? The model itself is 160kb, so in order to drop 100 kb more I'll have to remove a lot of stuff (satyr.mdx, which those are based on, is 130 kb). I can make another skin that uses dragonspawn standard texture, but it will look crappy as hell. I've seen models of similar size here, after all.

 

[MiniMage]

Eh, fine guess I'll make you an exception and approve this.

 

[Gluma]

Oh, thank you for understanding.

Btw, how much does the file size affect download time? It was rather fast even for my friend who constantly complains about his slow internet connection. I guess it's about complex maps where 100 extra kb here and there turns to be like a couple extra mb or something. Optimization is a darn tough thing.

 

[MiniMage]

Oh that, I never thought about it much. Anything below 20mb is downloaded instantly for me.
But yeah, filesize is only made smaller because of the editor. The idea is to get as much quality for as little filesize as possible. This allows modders to use more and the model thus becomes more useful.

 

[Gluma]

Update.

 

[Eat_Bacon_Daily]

Awesome! Reminds me of my favorite Heroes of Might and Magic III unit, the Lizardman

Hidden

 

[Kyrbi0]

Frickin... What animation gods do you sacrifice to, man?

 

[sentrywiz]

Love it, exactly what I needed from a lizard dragon tank. 5/5

 

[Gluma]

Updated once more. I think it should look less half-assed now.

 

[Recklessness]

Wow this update looks awesome! I'm a huge fan of your lizard models, they're some of my favorite

 

[Kyrbi0]

Gluma is Alive!!

That helmet is KICKIN'. I'm a huge fan. And yes, those (attack) animations have all sorts of punch now. Love it.

Glad to have you back. : )

 

[Misha]

ah, this is an awesome update, dude :3

..although something is odd with the tip of his tail in some anims

 

[deepstrasz]

4.5/5. Quite the model.

 

[Gluma]

Thank you, guys!

ah, this is an awesome update, dude :3

..although something is odd with the tip of his tail in some anims

I reminded myself to fix it so many times and forgot it anyway.

 

[Gluma]

Fixed the derp tail

 

[darth_vader88]

Really love these
I'm using this and the Archer in my upcoming map
