[Model Request] Oblivion Gate

[Emnesia]

Hey HiveWorkshop Community!

I've been modding maps for a good time back in the day and I just recently got back into modding WC3 maps (So I am...not as good as I used to be xD).

Basically I want to make a campaign that follows the game made by Bethesda Software called Oblivion. It's part of the Elder Scrolls series.

For those of you who haven't played the game yet even knew of it (It's a bit old now but I cannot imagine that even the decent RPG player have NEVER heard of it) here is a quick run down:
Basically you are the chosen one and needs to find a kings last heir so he can claim the throne and make sure evil is prevailed. The game is an Open World Single Player RPG and got a huge modding community! I want to see if I can make a Warcraft 3 version of parts of the game to the best of my abilities.

Now, I've never been great with modeling and don't even mention textures xD
So I was wondering if anyone was up to the challenge of making an Oblivion Gate? I will let your name be in the Credits and of course give Reputation!

A gate from the game looks like this (for reference):

Heh good old times
By the way because of the gate's special appearance it must by done absolutely with particle systems, which means people may have some problem with it Or, they can use an alpha channel with a red-white texture, but still, the flames... There are not many modellers out there who are ready for something like this

Why don't you show the map so modellers know that the model is not going to go to waste?

Yes indeed the gate is rather special...but well..we cannot ask modellers for more than the game is capable of. As close as possible would be nice as well since I am sure it will be an awesome gate nonetheless!

I see your point.
But this gate would not only be for this specific map of course. I can't be the only person in the world who wants an awesome looking hell gate.

When I get around to make the actual map with the world in it, I'll post a picture here should it still be relevant. Thanks for the input though, as it's a valid point. ^^
If I had the expertise to carry it out myself then I would have done so regardless of anyone requesting it as Oblivion just is an awesome game and a lot of elements in it would be perfect model material.

Please. change your writing colour to normal
thanks

 

[Emnesia]

Really? =/
It's pretty readable...but okay. <_<

Yes it is readable, but Mods don't like it when posts are written in full colours

I don't think anyone will make this but what you can do is get the darkportal model, make it reddish, and then Ill make the arch or something. It will not look as the quality as the real thing, but at least people will recognise it.

 

[Emnesia]

A nice suggestion. I hope people will still consider...but with arch you mean..what?

 

[darkdeathknight]

I said that Ill make an arch that's around the oblivion gate if you wish.

 

[Emnesia]

Oh.
Sounds very nice if you can pull it off!

 

[Emnesia]

Still a requested model

 

[darkdeathknight]

So you want me to do it?

 

[Emnesia]

I said it would be great if you wanted to do it.
I didn't exactly say "Do this". That would be rude :3

 

[darkdeathknight]

Then please show a preview of the map or something.

 

[Emnesia]

I haven't begun the actual terrain work yet. When I get to it I will make sure to post pictures in this thread.

 

[darkdeathknight]

Well once you have something going I'll start as well.
