[Just_Spectating]

[offtopic]what do people mean by cookie? just an award? i want PIE![/offtopic]

how does GIMP work? im thinking of dling it.

 

[kebabmeat]

Kind of reward, yes.

 

[SuPa-]

K, here's another WIP! Next I'm gonna focus on adding gore to the rib cage, mainly focused on the left (as you can see from the transparent bloody texture)

 

[General Frank]

I like those two aspects in the 3rd picture. It's scary and funny at the same time. Interesting.

 

[Just_Spectating]

[offtopic]Happy Halloween Everyone![/offtopic]

the skull still looks kind of.. weird.

 

[kebabmeat]

Abit, yes it does.

 

[Elenai]

Some updates of Azrael...The Angel Of Death!!!

I need a better texture for the scythe, and I still need to find a texture for the clothes...But it is an update none the less.

 

[Pyritie]

I just want your model for the pwnsome bat :3

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

The scythe looks great Elenai, but the face, meh, don't like it.

 

[Elenai]

@Pyritie: You shall have the bat........Especially if I win...

@RSH: How would you like the face to be?

 

[THE_END]

Just get ridda those Lich horns on him
Just make it an evil looking skeleton head, so keep the basic Lich head minus the horns
And I do hope you will be skinning that Medivh part of the skin

 

[Elenai]

Yes...The Medivh part will be given a different skin. What that skin is I do not know.....But I hope to not have to make a custom skin, because I have done the model entirely without need of custom skins.

I will consider removing the horns though.

 

[Pyritie]

Maybe the skeleton head?

 

[Just_Spectating]

lol at batrider (no rider) sweet

 

[kebabmeat]

Really good, Elenai.

+ Rep!

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Elenai, remove the horns or choose another head, like a skeleton head or something.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Just use the regular skeleton head. The lich just doesn't fit with the rest.

Also, you might want to use the acolyte's robe texture if you want to keep the lich head. It's all a question of color theme.

 

[Xatoga]

I say keep the horns, it gives more character to the model instead of the standard skelly-in-cloak reaper.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

The purple face just doesn't look good, Xatoga.

 

[Xatoga]

It would with a black robe, and he said he'd have not the Medivh texture on it, so thar

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

With the Acolyte's robes it might look good. But let's face it, it doesn't look at all like the Grim Reaper.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

The grim reaper, Grim Fandango style would be more awesome.

 

[Elenai]

With the Acolyte's robes it might look good. But let's face it, it doesn't look at all like the Grim Reaper.

.....Just some food for thought....Is'nt that a good thing?...Is'nt it more original that way?

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Original != good

 

[General Frank]

I think you could easily remap medivh's texture to a more black (Kel'tuzad necro skin) or a red robe skin BE glue screen.

[OT] 200's post[OT\]

 

[frostwhisper]

Hmm... yes. A dark-red robe would be awesome and would go especially well with the bats' wings.

Also please don't use the regular skeleton head, Elenai. It is definitely overused and wont be close to original.

Personally, I like the lich head.
But in case you want to change it, here's a list of suggested heads:
- Shade
- Acolyte
- Death-knight (with a hood he'd look awesome)
- Necromancer

 

[Kuhneghetz]

I make a pack of human ghosts (NOT as in sheets with chains though). The models might look like the original Blizzard models, but they are in transparent and has animations from Sorceress, Orc Grunt, Acolyte, Dreadlord and Blood Mage.

Here are the WIPs so far. I know the following stuffs I have to do more...
- Fixing the Portraits to make them look ghostly. (feedbacks from model editors plz)
- Removing the elves ears and fixing the shoulderpads, so they become human teenagers instead.
- Make more human ghosts.
- Adding particles on death animations.

I bet they will be perfect for a haunted house map or a ghost hunt map.

 

[THE_END]

Ohh can we see some of those animations in action possibly?
Export them as GIFS?

 

[frostwhisper]

You really need to add particle emitters and these will be awesome.

 

[Pyritie]

Yes, a small white particle emitter coming from their base would help.

 

[thisruoy]

So the ghosts would be walking around?
and not hovering?

 

[Kuhneghetz]

They will hover like a ghost.

I've uploaded video of the Male ghost's animations (all ghosts uses these animations). They were capped with HyperCam 2 and model were viewed in Magos Model Editor. The names are in the order the animations are showing...

Attack - 1
Attack - 2
Death
(Dissipate should go there, but Model Editor doesn't show spawned models, in this case the Undead Dissipate)
Spell
Spell Channel
Spell Slam
Stand 1
Stand 2
Stand Channel
Stand Work
Walk

Note that the video is compressed in WMV format to make the file smaller.

 

[Mechmap]

Those animations looks very good.

 

[THE_END]

They look extremely good
I love the move animation taken from the Sorceress
Beautifully made Dan

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Everything looks and fits great dan.

 

[thisruoy]

Yeah their really good

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Some are better fit for the model than others. The death, hover and walk are especially good for this, but a number of the others are unnecessary in my opinion.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

The Pumpkin now has an icon.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Added more ghosts. And now their portraits look ghostly too.
I'm not sure that particles on the base would fit for regular ghosts. And if they did, would they be in the origin part or the chest part.

@Chriz.: Maybe those unnecessary animations could be useful if you use the ghost as a hero unit.

And yay for Will's pumpkin icon!

 

[donut3.5]

DvO, perhaps you could make a faint white cloud texture particle that originates from the chest and drops down, getting more visible at the bottom, and then fading out. I think that would look the most appropriate.
--donut3.5--

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Testing the particles on the Ghost Male model, using donut3.5's advice.

I have to view the model in World Editor for best results.

 

[donut3.5]

Animations are all done, before I go into heavy finalizing, I'd like to gather your opinions on what is good and what is not.
--donut3.5--

 

[Pyritie]

In the walk anim he comes forward too fast near the end.
Attack 1 - he should chop with the axe, not whack. Needs to be angled more.
Death - he does some funny bending with his legs before his head falls apart.
Spell - he slides a bit with his legs after he roars or whatever.

Shoulderpads and shield should be double sided.

I love the spell throw anim though. You'd need a separate missle thingy though.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Attack - 1, Attack - 2, Death, Dissipate, Spell and Spell Throw animations need to have Non-Looped checked.

And like Pyritie said, texture materials have to be two-sided.

 

[Pyritie]

Ah yes, I knew there was something missing! The looping boxes.

Or in the mdl type

Nonlooping,

after the animation stuff. I think that's what it is anyway...

 

[THE_END]

The particles look good Dan, keep it up

Hm.. I was thinking more along the lines of a fog type thing, but that could work.

 

[Just_Spectating]

ok my magos editor broke or something because it wont open and i tryed redownloading it, so i dont think i will enter anymore.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

I've given the particles to all the ghosts I've made, though you can't see it correctly in the screeny here.

However, I've uploaded one Ghost model so people can have a look and how it works in World Editor (in other words, the model is here for testing purpose).
Note: I've checked Model Space on the Particle so it does not have that tail effect when the ghost walks/hovers.

Those animation transfers go very good along together. Would you mind me If I use those animation set as one for my models ?
