Modern Lumbermill

[Adiniz / Imemi]

Another Frank banger!

 

[FlameofChange]

Less talkin
More millin !

 

[MasterHaosis]

Always good to see new models from our great General Frank!
Good work as always, I like this modern approach and animations. 5/5+like from me

 

[DREADMAN]

I like the unique animation of the building construction and also how this super modern building destroys the poor tree

 

[AnyNameYouWish]

This is amazing, and incredibly useful. That birth model on its own is perfect for sci fi and modern techtrees. The windows flashing with light as the log is cut is a wonderful touch.

 

[Villagerino]

There is an incredible use of textures, starting from grates, drains and roof, ending with walls, very believeable. It's also amazing how succinctly the whole complexity of the building fits into such a small scale, how assembled the whole building looks from the technical side, good job! BuildUpModerMedium is a worthy and useful part of Frank's modeling legacy for other modern style focused modelers.

Only the windows can be subject to slight criticism on my part, namely their flickering, because it seems to me that this animation is already quite brightly designed, especially with the help of such a successfully used technique as a rotating red flashing signal

 

[Aksed874]

Very nice

 

[Carefree World]

If it could turn into a blue light, it would truly be modern.

Really lovely, quite impressive and obviously useful in a variety of maps.

I think my only critique would be that the Stand Work, while exciting, is a little too exciting lol; you've got:

• the log/conveyor belt (both moving in/out & up/down)
• the saw (both spinning & moving up/down)
• two regular smokestacks
• one smokestack with fan
• one steam vent
• the spinning red alarm light
• the lights coming from the side bay door, and
• every window lighting up

You may want to consider toning it down a bit.

I like it that way though and the person who commissioned it was also fond of it.
Sorry.

Ah well a commission is a commission! Fair enough.

 

[FlameofChange]

If y'all are bothered (or more like nitpicking) ya can ask variants, I'm fine with it too ; no worries !

Also, my own taste and opinion. If you don't respect it then we have no business talking about it. Easy as that.

I don't think there was any suggestion of disrespect on Khyrbs' part, in fact his comment expresses the opposite and a deference for the fact that it is a commission and the commissioner prefers it this way. Suggestions and opinions should always be welcome as long as they're expressed in a constructive and friendly way just as Khyrbs' did.

I just wanted to make sure, because people can take it out of context.
I did not intent to sound like a dick there.

 

[BrothForMyPeople]

Reminds me of Starcraft.

Ah. I'm glad to hear that... I was rather surprised at your initial response to my post, especially since you have "Constructive comments ... are always welcome." in bold yellow text in your description (& I think my comment was, like Villagerino's, definitely "constructive critique").

It's a great model, and I'm glad FoC was game for a public release.

For me your comment was more like a very slanted opinion piece.
Tell someone to '[considering toning] it down' i really based on your personal preference and not some mechanical or technical observation.

However I do see value in what you say - but that does not mean I am going to follow it.
But let us move on from this.

Screams "industrial" but still not too modern to be unfitting for default Warcraft 3 setting. Very well designed, feels memorable despite being just a mill, has details in the very right places and this juicy feeling of being a refined, balanced and maturely made asset.

Great job for both of you, guys.
