[Models] Draenei

[Lord Azkera]

Sinisterx managed to craft up some brilliant Draenei unit and building models on www.wc3campaigns.net. However, he only managed to make the three teirs of the main town hall, a barracks, a food supply building, a worker, a main infantry, a main spellcaster and a hero unit. this is a fair amount but not enough to make a decent tech tree. I understand that everyone here is probably working on other projects such as models, maps and campaigns, etc. as well as having a life so I'm willing to wait as long as it takes for these models if they are ever made at all.

Here are some ideas for some more Draenei units...

UNITS
Draenei Marksman -

*uses his tiny n00bish knowledge of modeling* Maybe you could use the Rifleman bass model? perhaps with an edited head of Archimonde and a remodeled Rifle?

Draenei Elekk Knight -

Maybe you could remodel the mammoth from the Icecrown Glacier mobset
and attach a remodeled Human Knight to it's back?

Draenei Shaman -

For those of you who are thinking "this isn't a Draenei", it is. It is a form of Draenei known as a Broken, a Draenei who sort of 'deteriorated' after the genocide of the Draenei at the hands of the Orcs on Draenor. For more information on the lore of Draenei Shaman, read up on their leader, Farseer Nobundo, here -> http://www.wowwiki.com/Nobundo

And for modelers, this would be easiest if based on the Stormreaver Warlocks model from th Sunken Ruins mobset.

Draenei Hand of Argus -

Either the footman or the Blademaster model would work best for this (bet remember, this unit isn't a hero).

HEROES

Draenei Vindicator -

Obviosly, Human Paladin would be the best base model for this



These are just some of the ideas I have for a techtree of Draenei.

I'm not asking for them all to be made, that would be miraculous. I'm asking for maybe one or two of them to be made. They'd be useful for anyone who hopes to use Draenei in their maps.

Do you personally have an intention to use them for something specific?

 

[Redeemer59]

Even if he doesn't, I could find much use for a few more Draenei Heroes.

 

[Naga siren]

why don't you use this for the Paladin http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=90568

 

[Lord Azkera]

ooo, didn't see that model!

and yes Chriz, I'll be using them for my Azuremyst Isle, Bloodmyst Isle, Terokkar Forest and Eye of the Storm and Tempest Keep maps at least.

and Redeemer, I did request with post also bearing other people in mind since their are few Draenei units on either of the sites and I'm sure a fair few people would like to see and have use for more.

 

[KhalKun]

Oh my god! Naga Siren YOU ROCK! Now I got a second site to look for more models =D! Thanks man! You helped my butt!

 

[Chaos Overlord]

If anyone is going to start modelling Dranie, do the Elekk Knight first plz. Not because I am going to use it, but because it is the coolest out of all of those. Then the Hand of... the footman guy

 

[Lord Azkera]

/bump
I know I said I don't mind if these aren't made
But I'm not going to have my request dissapear so easy either since I am in need of these models.

 

[Cavman]

Even though I hate the WoW Draenei, I could make an Elekk Knight, but I need to contact Gnome_Bot first to see if it's ok that I use his Elekk model first.

I could put up the others as I make them, if I get around to it.

 

[Naga siren]

i know you did not request this but heres another draenei http://www.hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/models/3309/

 

[Lord Azkera]

I already have that model Naga Siren but thanks anyway and Cavman, I would appreciate it but as you said, be sure to contact Gnome_Bot first to make sure he's cool with you using the Elekk model

 

[Cavman]

OK, I talked with Gnome, he said it was ok. Expect it here soon.

 

[Lord Azkera]

Brilliant. +rep

 

[Drp3]

ooo a drenai on elekk that could come handy to the wc3Wow:modTeam when they start drenai (long time till they do that) but another model i could use along side the elekk

 

[Cavman]

Knight Wip

alright. The Knight isn't done yet, but I think it's far along enough to give you screenie. so, here it is.

 

[KhalKun]

Draenei on a mammoth. Can you add armor cavman? Looks a little bare.

 

[Cavman]

It's still a wip so I still ahve stuff to add. Right now it's runing off of one skin and the rider has no animations at the moment. I will be adding some armor to the Elekk. Oh, and the blue spots on his shoulders are Team Colored(TC).

 

[Drp3]

looking good so far

 

[THE_END]

You gotta work with that skin on the Elekk
Looks like he was a burn victim

 

[Kimbo]

I'll be willing to texture it, just hope the unwrap isnt like a puzzle o.0

 

[Cavman]

The unwrap isn't bad. I can put up what it looks like right now with the pointers to waht the parts are, If you want?

 

[Lord Azkera]

It's looking great Cavman. Though the head could be a little bigger and if you could make the hooves smaller then it would look a bit better. Also, make sure to make attachment points for his right and left hand so I can attach weapons and shields and stuff. other than that, it's looking brilliant, can't wait to see the finished result.

 

[JacKThERiPPeR]

I thought importing models from WoW was impossible to show in this forums, but heck, what a good job you've done there. Thumbs up!

 

[Cavman]

@ Lord Azkera: Ok. Origionaly I was just gonna give him a sword and Sheild, but if you want attachemnts thats fine.

@ JacKThERiPPeR: It's actuly not a wow models, just made to look like the draenai and elekk from wow

 

[Drp3]

cavman you should make 2 versions 1 with weapons 1 without

 

[Deleted member 126647]

The ones in the first posts are just screenshots of WoW models, not exports.

 

[JacKThERiPPeR]

My mistake then.

 

[Cavman]

Update 2

Ok, this here is very close to the final version. All the animations are done, and I only relly need to edit a fer groups and maybe mess with some vertices. I put up a zip folder eventualy that'll hae both a weaponless and armed versions of the model, along with the skin and possible icons.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Hmm... the trunk is too long. In the pic, there isnt even a trunk. It is just a long pointy thing that is the bottom half of the mouth...

 

[Cavman]

actully, in the pic, long pointy thing is covering the trunk. I just didn't wanna put that in mine.

 

[Redeemer59]

Looks too shiny. But otherwise good.

these are Elekk pics i found
just thought they might be useful to this project

 

[Kimbo]

Here are some animated gif. refs of the models. They are around 1.5mb each so be careful if you open them fully.

Side Riding Elek:


Angle Riding Elek:


Front Riding Elek:


Side Riding Elite Elek:


Angle Riding Elite Elek:


Front Riding Elite Elek:

 

[Cavman]

OK, I'm done with it. In the zip folder there is:

Unarmed version
Armed Version
Portrait
Skin, in the correct path(units\Draenai\ElekkKnight\ElekkKnight.blp)
3 sets of Icons, one made with a screen of the model, one with the ref pic, and one hand made by me

 

[spellbreaker]

is anybody else making the other ones?

 

[Cavman]

If the requester comes back, I may finish the request.

 

[Kimbo]

I redid texture it for you and instead of 300kb its 70kb for the texture.

 

[Cavman]

Oh, you droped the TC from the shoulder pads. :'(

Oh well, great skin wulf.

 

[thesteelshark]

you did an excellent on the Elekk cavman, I hope to see more

(first time poster, long time lurker)

 

[Parrothead]

Cool!

 

[Cavman]

Thankyou, but I'm still waiting for the guy that started this to come back before I finnish the request.

 

[anetherond]

Thankyou, but I'm still waiting for the guy that started this to come back before I finnish the request.

I think it is going to take a while because he wasn't online for more then two weeks.

 

[thesteelshark]

Thankyou, but I'm still waiting for the guy that started this to come back before I finnish the request.

what kind of request? of what to make next?

 

[Cavman]

I think it is going to take a while because he wasn't online for more then two weeks.

Well, thats sucks. If any one else needs thesemodels, speak up soon.

what kind of request? of what to make next?

The guy who made this thread and the request in the first place. I'm not gonnafinnish makeing the models till either he comes back, or some one else needs them.

 

[thesteelshark]

The guy who made this thread and the request in the first place. I'm not gonnafinnish makeing the models till either he comes back, or some one else needs them.

I would make use for them and I'm sure a lot of other people would too. personaly I would like to see a draenei paladin using human paladin animations, all the other draenei heroes I seen used the warlock animation and i don't think that would always workout.

I would love to make some stuff myself but I can only make some simple objects in cinema 4D, and I'm on a mac. and by simple I don't mean cubes.I made this for a friend of mine, all I have to do is take a photo of her and her boyfriend

 

[Cavman]

Careful now, no thread hijacking.

Well, if another person can some forward, so that there is two people, I will continue.

 

[anetherond]

I could use few more Draenei models. But the models of the Vindicator (Draenei Paladin will be more appropriate) or the Hand of Argus are already exist.

 

[Fulla]

Yea I could use them as well.
Would love to see them finished.

 

[Cavman]

Well now, I guess Ican get back to work on them.

Oh,and anetherond, the two models you stated aren't the best.

 

[thesteelshark]

so what one are you working on now?
I'm hoping draenei paladin, using human paladin animations
