Models From My Upcoming Project

[BallisticTerrain]

Models from Hunter

FOR FURTHER MODEL UPDATES SCROLL DOWN IN THE THREAD!

EDIT: 7/8/2013
Go to the later pages in the thread for the newer models. They look much better. I am constantly updating.

A small teaser screenshot with a few of the models from my upcoming project included. Created in 3DS Max 10 and exported with NeoDex.

Orginal Screenshot

Newest Update- Added new terrain textures, added several new assets, redid terrain.

New #1

New #2

New #3

New #4

New #5

New #6

New #7

These screenshots are taken in a testing map, and are not screenshots from the actual project. This entire village scene was created using 821 doodads and causes no lag.

 

[eubz]

These doodads are nicely done. Gj.

 

[BallisticTerrain]

Thanks!

 

[N.Knight]

nice looking gothic style doodads.

 

[Lordkoon]

Great models. The houses blend so well with the enviromental scenery.


p.s. Sharing is caring so if you could share that vegetation it would be delightful.

 

[AwzomeWulfzz]

nice looking gothic style doodads.

It doesn't seem so gothic.

 

[BallisticTerrain]

They aren't meant to be gothic. They're based off of early and high middle ages buildings, with some modifications by me to make them fit the climate they will exist in.

 

[BallisticTerrain]

Major update.
As for sharing the assets, the houses are meant to fit in with the project's story, so I doubt I'll share those.
I'll probably release some of the better plant models in a pack. (Which ones would you guys want?) But I'll have to have a pretty good reason to share all of them. I want to keep my mod's assets fairly exclusive to give it a distinguishable visual style.

The small ground bushes and leaves would do nicely. ^^ 'drowns in saliva'

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Well, I have to hand it to you, these are surely great models. I'm interested to see how the project turns out. As for sharing, I'd love to get my fingers on that bridge

 

[gorillabull]

holy guacamole look at those plants !!!

 

[BallisticTerrain]

Ok, I'll throw a few together. Expect a pack soon. As for the bridge, I'm afraid that that is in the same category as the buildings, and will not be shared.
EDIT: Look at main post for pack info.

 

[BallisticTerrain]

Heres a model of a tavern bar I've been working on, viewed in 3ds max.

[BallisticTerrain]

Got a bunch of new tavern assets in.
There's supposed to be a firepit too, but the export was somehow corrupted. I'll get it in tomorrow.

Tavern Assets

 

[BallisticTerrain]

A few new demo screenshots.

Picture 2

I'm not yet satisfied with the ruined house. I'm gonna mess around with a few textures and remove the cloth on the roof.

 

[BallisticTerrain]

Update. Theres a bunch more I have done that don't fit into this scene, but here nonetheless.

[FRENGERS]

Shut up and take my money.
Can you be my friends?? @.@
Simply I love you.... The Next B2M

make shadows upon a texture.. It will be less unnatural than without shadows at all.

 

[MasterTrainer]

These are certainly great models; and you certainly put an effort into making your terrain!

Did you make the models yourself?

 

[BallisticTerrain]

Yup, every last one of those models was made by me in 3ds max 10.
Also, thanks!

 

[BallisticTerrain]

I darkened a few of the textures to make the scene blend better, and right now I'm experimenting with a technique Talavaj gave me to bake shadows into the texture. When I get it figured out, I'll post a screenshot.

 

[MasterTrainer]

Oh how I wish you could share them...

But nonetheless good job as always!

+REP!

 

[Binsu]

Simply, this resources are so beautiful, I can already call this a masterpiece. I want to see more from you, +3 REP!

 

[Felipe Gormadoc]

beautiful, incredibly beautiful, +REP
they are available for download? or you can provide particular?

really good.

I think they are not available, Ballistic said in his profile that he will not share it.

Hello Hell_Master o/

 

[BallisticTerrain]

Shadows are operational. Not quite there yet though.

Shadows

 

[Binsu]

Pre rendered CGI smooth/cast shadow maps are operational.
I'm still getting the transparency figured out, but you get the idea.

Shadows

Looks very realistic and awesome. Keep it up!

 

[BallisticTerrain]

A few screenshots showcasing the now fully functional self shadow casting rendering calculations. Shadows are now properly soft, transparent, and colored. They add a lot more 3 dimensionality to the models. I'm happy with the result.

A Wooden Stool: Tech Show

First picture. Notice how it emulates real lighting by simulating the light passing through the cracks between the wooden boards.

A second shot.

[MasterTrainer]

Wow... these models look great with the custom textures and all; but won't these models kill the map file size?

 

[BallisticTerrain]

Kill the file size? Hardly. Campaigns are single player, so file size isn't a problem. Right now everything I've made that you've seen or haven't seen is about 80 megabytes. I expect the finished campaign to be almost 200. And nowadays, 200 megabytes is really not that much at all, so I'm not seeing any problems.

Oh I thought you were making a map, not a campaign. In that case never mind my question.

You have impressed me once again. I love the doodads and destructible used and so the terrain itself is good and to add also realistic. Its like real life, the terrain. But if you want some little improvements, maybe raise the ground a little. It looks flat. But overall, Nice job and have my +3 REP!

 

[MasterTrainer]

Nice models; they look really realistic. It's like viewing another game. It reminds me of Requiem, the project. It seems like those textures and the appearance of the models make the game's graphics unable to be supported by the warcraft engine, but it totally does!

+REP!

 

[Talavaj]

Nice Nice ! It reminds me of the Gothic 2 from piranha bytes.
The only thing is the biggest trees, their leaves have a slightly different hue and it looks kinda off, especially at night.

I'm fine with flatness, It is a town after all. People build those on clearings not on a random pile of dirt.
I think wc3 modders make terrain "not flat" too much. (at where it doesn't make sense)

 

[BallisticTerrain]

Thanks!
It does look like those leaves are a bit off. I'll mess around in photoshop and see if I can fix them. I might also darken the rock texture a bit.

 

[BallisticTerrain]

I rewrapped the grass and made it two sided. It now looks much better.
Screenshot using all three variations.

Nice job again!

It's really good to know that you put effort in your project, and I would really like to see how this project turns out!

 

[Binsu]

Looks really good and has this good qulity but what bothers me is that the grass is like bright, if you know what I mean. There is like a white color on it that makes it like disturbing.

But overall, a nice job and also you might animate this or is it already animated?

 

[BallisticTerrain]

It isn't animated yet, but it probably will be. I'm planning for most objects to have physics animations.

 

[BallisticTerrain]

I'm going to remake this is a different thread within the next 2-3 weeks. I have some pretty exciting updates on models, and the announcement of Hunter is drawing closer.
I've adding physics (sort of) and wind animations recently, as well as adding several new plants.

 

[Lordkoon]

Judging by screenshots 6 7 9 the thin grass on the ground does not turn darker when the time of day is changed to night (or perhaps used daynightcycle ), but then again the rework on it looks great. ^^

Keep up the splendid work.

 

[PROXY]

^ That was the thing that bugged me the most too. Probably you made the material "unshaded". Otherwise --> great. I'm really impressed of the shadows.

 

[BallisticTerrain]

Quick Update. The shadows turned out particularly well on this one.

Lumber Pile

 

[BallisticTerrain]

I spent a good long time working out the textures on this one. Think I finally got it down.

Modular Wall Part 1

 

[Legal_Ease]

I say. You have done it. Masterful work! Do you have unit models to go with the set? +rep

 

[BallisticTerrain]

I've been sucking at making humans and creatures for a long time but I finally applied myself, and am right now working on getting much better looking but still low poly models into the game. The human male base mesh is finished and the texturing is about 1/3 done.

 

[HammerFist132]

You know it really nice to see so many talented people on hive that create so good stuff and have low rep. For me you and manoo are ultimate "hivers".

[BallisticTerrain]

@HammerFist123- Thanks much! It means alot.

@Everyone- Could use some opinions on the new project logo. Sorry if this is wrong section, but I didn't want to make a whole new thread when I already have a good one here.
