Model Improve Request

[Aeroblyctos]

Hey there.

As many of you already know, I have been making campaign called The Chosen Ones many years. I have requested tons of different kind of requests because I can't do everything alone. My weakest point while making such a large project is that I must totally rely to other with models. Once again, I need your help to improve the campaign and make the campaign more enjoyable and good looking.

So what do I want? There are three main characters in this campaign: Phodom, Fradz and Galeoth. I'm here requesting you to make the models better and more high quality. I don't care how you'll do it as long as the animations that they have at the moment stay because I use them in many cinematics. For example, you can totally start the models from scratch.


Improve the textures

• I'll give you the permission to change the look of the models, totally.

More animations

• Create more animations for the models.
  • Phodom needs a "critical strike" animation.
  • Fradz needs a "critical strike" animation.
• Remember to let the original animations stay.

Effects

• If you are going to do effects for the models here are some information.
• Phodom is fire type character.
• Fradz is lightning type character.
• Galeoth is ice type character.

Limitations

• Do not make the models look like evil, meaning for example black cloths isn't a good idea.
• You can improve their weapons if you want, but they must have the same weapons as always.
• I do not care how big by the size the models will become. The campaign is already over 100 mb, so few mb more won't hurt at all.
• Phodom should wear strong looking armor.
• Fradz should wear armor, but that look like a light armor.
• Galeoth should wear wizard like something.
• Phodom should somewhat look like a "fire" paladin. Age is about 35-45 year old.
• Fradz should somewhat look like a "swordmaster"(and no, I'm not talking about that orc blade master) with two swords and lightning mastery. Age is about 25-35 year old.
• Galeoth should look like a 60 year old icy wizard.
• Do not make them woman. ^^

Authorization

• Authorization are granted from the original makers of the models.

Model Phodom

Model Fradz

Model Galeoth

Credits will be given as model maker and helper. Also if you manage to make any of the models really awesome, I'll put you to special credits. Thanks again.

Please ask if you want any more information about the request.

On Galeoth Sir!

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Thanks! Remember that you can remake totally(for example Galeoth from Blood Mage(same animations exactly)). Another note for Galeoth, he's ranged character, he throws magical balls.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Requested updated + bump.

How's it going, Fan, or have you given up?

 

[PROXY]

Sorry, was busy with other requests also. But I'm working on it.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Great.

 

[M0rbid]

I would have gone to improve Phodom texturewise, but since this model does use tons of different textures, that is an annoying work, however if someone is able and willing to rewrap it onto a custom texture I would reskin that!

 

[Goolygot]

I could do it, but I would rather wrap it after a skin, but I'm going to loose the animations if I'm going to do it. But I guess someone else can add bones, and then get the same animations.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I don't understand how you will edit these models but I really appreciate if you guys could really make these models greater than they currently are. Team work is of course allowed if someone knows how to do better "bones" and other knows how to do "effects" better for example... I will give both the credits you deserve.

Request updated.

Request updated.

I meant that I want to wrap the model after a skin, and if I am going to do it the model would loose his animations. But I can't make or know how to transfer animations. So someone else must transfer over the old animations.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I'm sure someone here can do the animations then.

 

[M0rbid]

I will do a skin than...but please gimme time util after the 5th of novmebre when I have no more exams.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

There's no need to hurry. Before Christmas I want this request to be done however...

 

[Goolygot]

Phodom uses alot of polies that are not necessary. I have not worked alot on the wrapping, but I have atleast done something. Around 30% wrapped.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

That's great to hear that finally actually someone is doing something and something is really going forward. Rep just to keep your motivation up!

 

[Goolygot]

Now have I completly wrapped the model, but I must just change the proportions on the wrapping, I'm only using half of the space :/. So I will give a picture to you in the evening/night, M0rbid.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Remember that I don't care how big the file size becomes, I just care about the quality.

 

[Goolygot]

Well here you get three versions. A version with text, but only to look at!. A version that you skin on with 256 x 256, and a version with 512 x 512. I don't know which you want so all of them are here.



The 256x256 is very blurry sorry. :/

 

[PROXY]

Again, sorry that I didn't work on your model. I shall make it now. Sorry again.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Happy to see this going forward, good luck!

 

[PROXY]

Finished

I totally remade him, + added an extra model, "BloodelfBall", the round fire thingies that fly around the blood mage when he uses the sphere buff, they are now blue, if you want to use them with him. Just set the BloodelfBall model to this Path: Units\Human\HeroBloodElf\BloodElfBall.mdx
Oh and for the texture, just remove the war3imported at the beginning .

Puh, modelled 5 hours none stop now. need to take a pause ^^.

 

[Kitabatake]

I guess I'll try to completely remake the fradz model. The current one hurts my eyes.

 

[Goolygot]

The old Galeoth cape hurted my eyes.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

That's an excellent model, indeed. And I thank you guys, I really do.

However... In normal situation I would bow to you guys thousand times, but this is a situation I must have perfection! Here are two things still what I would like to be improved.

1) First thing is the head. I know that the head might be the most challenging part to create, but is it a bit unoriginal to have Archmage head? Yes, I wanted a head like that, but can it be a little different at least from Archmage's? I don't mean any Wacraft 3 head but something... Else.

2) Second this is not that important, but if someone have time and is able to create more animations, I would be really thankful. Also, one shard at the feet is making some animations bug.

• More stand animations(less boring).
• More attack animations.
• Special animations that I use in cinematics(whatever comes to your mind).

 

[Goolygot]

Here is the mdx file for the Phodom. It got all the planes and such as the old phodom. But it got no bones or anything else doing with animations.
View attachment Phodom.mdx

 

[Kitabatake]

Some early progress:

To do:

• Create a head (current one will be removed)
• More electricity theme for swords
• Shoulderpad (maybe)
• Animations, all of them...
• Effects
• Fix wrapping

 

[Aeroblyctos]

It's incredible to see this requesting going forward so fast. Motivation rep to everyone who are at here.

To Goolygot: I will check Phodom as soon as I'm at home.

To Kitabatake: Once again awesome job but I guess we should talk about the model's future with MSN or something. +rep

 

[M0rbid]

News: I started working on the skin, but it'll take some more time and it's to early to show WiP's yet since nothing is really worked out.

Mhm, okay, though, I'm not that experienced to model a head from scratch, as well as animating. Everyone may edit my model as much as they want. Hope you find somone to finish the model

Great! Simply great!

Yeah, thanks for the awesome work you have done with Goolygot! You really did fine and I'm sure you both will be credited handsomely.

Now need to search someone who can finish the job and can do an own made head for the model... I would really like to have an own unique head. First thing what have to be is to remove that yarmulke and let the sexy white harr come out!

 

[PROXY]

out!

I...I didn't work together with Goolygot. I think, M0rbid is working with him, isn't he?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

What dÖ hell, have I mixed people now?

 

[M0rbid]

Seems like you have
I finish off Goolygots model with ma texture.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Aaa, okay now I understand. Now that I look that Goolygot's model it's Phodom, not Galeoth! I wonder then how did you Fan give Galeoth to you? With a private message or something?

 

[M0rbid]

Fan did not give anything to me? :-O
I work together with Goolygot on Phodom.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Okay now I'm even more confused. Who the hell I give credits if I don't know exactly who did and what?

So Fan totally made Galeoth?
And you and Goolygot are doing Phodom?
And Kita's doing Fradz?

Now, it's right

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Okay the current situation is this:

1) Phodom - M0rbid is at the moment doing texture for it.
2) Fradz - Kitabatake lost his motivation, but I'm sure he'll come back tomorrow or some later day and continue the model.
3) Galeoth - It's almost done. What it needs is someone to redo the head of his. To make something that is not seen in Warcraft III yet, meaning you have to either draw a new head or use other magic tricks.

 

[Kitabatake]

2) Fradz - Kitabatake lost his motivation, but I'm sure he'll come back tomorrow or some later day and continue the model.

Yes, changing the concept of the model and causing a lot of work to go wasted does indeed do some damage to motivation.

Anyway, some progress:

Hands, feet and cloth textures replaced according to request

To Do:

• Head
• shoulderpad
• fix texture wrapping
• fix swords
• effects animations etc...

EDIT: more progress:

Shoulderpads, head and belt added, clothing reverted back to what it was in original concept

To Do:

• Check texture wraps
• Check swords
• effects and animations etc

 

[Aeroblyctos]

It's going great Kitabatake and we'll talk more for improvements at MSN.

I'm probably going to create another request after this one is completed to remake Galeoth's head.

 

[Kitabatake]

Progress...

Attack animations done

To Do:

• Effects
• Miscellaneous animations
• Optimization

 

[mnib]

Kitabatake youre just awesome D:

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Yea Kita's doing awesome work.

How's it going guys? M0rbid, how far are you? Anyone wanted to help with Galeoth's head?

 

[M0rbid]

I will do a skin than...but please gimme time util after the 5th of novmebre when I have no more exams.

I do have a basic skin right now, which uses parts of this: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin_data/pls7es/HDpreview.jpg

However I need the weekend to finish it for sure.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

So how's the model doing, M0rbid? Any improvements?
And what about Kitabatake?
And is anyone here willing to remade Galeoth's head? The model can be found from this thread. Just something more unique than Archmage's head.

The mesh and portrait are finished.
Most of the animations are done now, including:

• 4 Attack animations
• Attack Slam
• Bladestorm
• Spell
• Spell Slam
• Spell Channel
• Sleep anims
• Morph animations to sheath/unsheath swords
• Alternate animations to stand/move/attack without weapons
• A couple of cinematic animations
• Other default animations (stand, death...) etc

To Do:

• The rest of the animations (a couple more stand animations perhaps)
• Finalizing & optimizing the model

I'm thinking that the effects/particle stuff might be easiest to just do with triggers by creating special effects whenever necessary.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Great work Kitabatake. It's going very smoothly and now that Fradz will have so many different kind of animations I can simply do any kind of cinematics without any worries. Great job!

I really hope other models will also be finished. It would be sad to have just awesome Fradz.

 

[Goolygot]

But who is going to animate Phodom?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I don't know. I guess we have to find third member to finish Phodom.

EDIT: I would like to hear more from M0rbid. Are you doing fine? Or have you perhaps given up? Anyone is willing to remade Galeoth's head here?

 

[M0rbid]

Oh well, sry, that you did not here from me. My last computer just crashed, but i was able to repair two of them now and I now only need to regain all the datas, this might take me a while though, I will keep you on track!
