My WIP Models (WARNING: Contains Large Images!)

Kyrbi0 · Mar 5, 2013

Both that one and Whitehorn's (have yet to compare) are great. I was just curious as to his take on things.

Besides, as good as both of them are, I don't remember if either of them have the true "truncheon" of Wc2... Both have staves/staffs.

Hum. Seems you enjoy re-creating the classics. I'm trying to think of the coolest things from Wc2 or Wc1 that could use some revival.
... Death Knight! Or perhaps a leaner, meaner Gryphon Rider (less of a heavy-hitter, more of a speedy 'wind warrior').

Hmm, I don't know to be honest. Once my Demolition Squad's fixed, finished and uploaded, then that pretty much covers every single unit in WCII. I guess I could try and make a proper WCII Mage after I'm done with my female Mage, we'll see.

Kyrbi0 said:
What else do you enjoy experimenting with?

Whatever ideas that I would like to put into model form, basically.

Woah, you're right... Just about everything is made (even most of the buildings).

SinisterX made a Human Mage, IIRC.

Makes sense. Well, let me know if you 'run dry' of ideas; I've got plenty waiting to see the light of day.

You mean this?

Yeah, I think I saw that a few days ago, although to me it looked more like the Conjurer from WC1 to be quite honest. Still a nice model, though.

Tell me anyway. You never know if I might be able to turn an idea of yours into reality.

TaShadan · Mar 8, 2013

Its a Conjurer from wc1 not wc2 mage. Also hoping for a good wc2 mage!

AndrewOverload519 · Mar 8, 2013

Still couldn't get the Demo Squad fixed. While that's being sorted out, here, have a lady!

Download links in first post, as per the norm.

As for the WCII Mage, should I start get cracking with him?

PROXY · Mar 8, 2013

Well, the boobs are a bit.. too huge I think ^^ Otherwise quite cool.

TaShadan · Mar 8, 2013

boobastic

looking forward to the wc2 mage!

AwzomeWulfzz · Mar 9, 2013

Awesome, Demolition Squad looks more awesome now.

rcshaggy · Mar 10, 2013

Where did you find that old mage, oh and your models are going really awesomely today.

TaShadan · Mar 10, 2013

The old mage is from SinisterX. (wc3c)

AndrewOverload519 · Mar 11, 2013

So, I've started work on the WC2 Mage!

More pics in the first post, too! :grin:

TaShadan · Mar 11, 2013

its not bad but the wc2 mage looks more like that (i know this is sc2)

but your model looks already nice, especially the ingame screenshot

To be fair, I never did say that it was meant to be 100% accurate to the actual ingame design from WC2 as the model also had elements from some of the artwork of that era. The model should still be a good enough representation though, I just wanted to see what others think.

Oh, I also wanted to admit that I have made a bit of a small blunder in regards to the ingame shot of the model as there seems to be a misbehaving floating book in that picture. This is because I've forgot to reattach the book mesh to the proper bone!

Thankfully, I've fixed that and uploaded a new version of the in-game shot so that floating book is no more!

Learn my lesson kids, always check for unattached vertices when modelling for WC3! :grin:

TaShadan · Mar 12, 2013

sry i didnt want to offend you. Iam looking forward to the release of the mage and the demo team

Rui · Mar 12, 2013

It was a while since I last came here. Awesome work on all the recent models.

I don't even see how your posts could offend anyone, but thanks for your feedback! :xxd:

Maybe if I open up the robes a little more, he would look more like in WC2?

TaShadan · Mar 12, 2013

maybe that could work. and maybe without the cap on his head? the old wc2 mages had more hair

AndrewOverload519 · Mar 13, 2013

TaShadan said:

I've looked into doing that but I don't think I'll be able to remove it without messing up the head. That, and I kind of like the way it looks right now.

EDIT: Oh, and the model is now done!

As usual, the download link is in the first post.

TaShadan · Mar 13, 2013

nice iam going to try it

BTW do you create buildings aswell? a wc2 mage tower would be nice

EDIT: interested in creating a wc1 slime?

Bold mage

TaShadan said:

I could try, but it's not on top priority at the moment.

TaShadan said:

The mesh itself seems pretty easy to do as all it is is just a green blob. Animating it, however, could be tricky. I could consider it, but again it's not top priority.

rcshaggy · Mar 16, 2013

Could you work on a Warcraft I Spearthrower if you can?

AndrewOverload519 · Mar 18, 2013

Okay, a new model update! Oh, and it's something a bit different this time...

More images in the first post.

Deolrin · Mar 18, 2013

Reminds me of the Chaurus Hunters in Skyrim. Or something out of Heart of the Swarm. Or a mix of both.

TaShadan · Mar 18, 2013

Nice Nerubian flier!

Kyrbi0 · Mar 18, 2013

Excellent. Nerubian's needed a flyer, and I already had something like this planned.

rcshaggy · Mar 18, 2013

These what they look like from World of Warcraft and your model is good to.
By any chance you want to do a wasp model with that spider flyer as well?

http://www.wowpedia.org/Wasp

Rui · Mar 22, 2013

It looks nice, but I don't like it that it has the Crypt Fiend's face (or any of Wc3's existing ones for that matter). Any chance you can use your skillz to build a new face? The faces of those wasp thingies look good — could also copy from there.

AndrewOverload519 · Mar 24, 2013

Okay, so I've finished my "Crypt Flyer" and gave it an official name... the Crypt Drone!

The download links for both the Crypt Drone and its cocoon are in the first post.

TaShadan · Mar 24, 2013

very good! Will you finish the demolition team next?

Rui · Mar 24, 2013

Awww, it still looks too similar to the Crypt Fiend :'(

Rui said:

That's not necessarily a bad thing. You could use it with a zergling --> baneling style upgrade in a map.
I think it looks pretty sweet.

Rui · Mar 26, 2013

Even banelings have different faces :< unoriginal faces set me off very much =(

Deolrin · Mar 26, 2013

Well, to be honest, speaking from personal experience here, it's fairly difficult to manage to make a new face out of existing Warcraft 3 resources, especially when you're modeling something that isn't a part of a large race(and therefore, a large selection of different faces and facial features that you can mix and match). There's nothing quite like the Nerubian\Crypt Fiend in the game(asides from simple skin-swaps), and therefore, editing a new face would be incredibly difficult. Of course, you could always simply change the size of various features, move them around a bit, etc, but doing that while keeping the wrap pretty and clean can be rather difficult.

Kyrbi0 · Mar 26, 2013

I suppose. However, there's a wealth of Nerubian models across the Hive with lots of different faces. With a little permission, one could be edited.

AndrewOverload519 · Apr 4, 2013

Sorry for the long wait, but here's a new model to look at... my own take on a WC3-ified Arcane Guardian!

124186d1365099993-my-wip-models-warning-contains-large-images-arcaneguardian-1.png

There's a couple more 'shots in the first post, too!

Deolrin · Apr 4, 2013

The wrap is pretty horrible for the most part. But I really like those gems.

NhazUl · Apr 5, 2013

Yes, you might want to edit the mesh and the wrap on the fists and feet and especially the helm, but it's a nice idea.

NhazUl said:

That'll be hard to work with as I would somehow have to make each part distinct from one another, especially the head as I wouldn't want it to blend in too much with the torso. I'll see what I can do, though.

NhazUl · Apr 6, 2013

Well, at least the Infernal model has the head, torso, feet etc. as separate meshes so you won't need to mess around with bones after a mesh edit.

AndrewOverload519 · Apr 6, 2013

Okay, so I've made changes to the Arcane Guardian and look what happened...

TaShadan · Apr 6, 2013

looks much better!

Kyrbi0 · Apr 6, 2013

Yes, much. The crystals were great in either version, but now the hands/feet are nicely differentiated; the fingers are a good touch. I'm a little off-put by all the RED that he's slathered with, but it is Blood Elves. :< Nice head-visor-thing.
This style could certainly be put to great effect in a similar series of Nerubian Golems (the diligent Labor Golem, the stalwart Battle Golem, and the mysterious Sphinx Golem).

rcshaggy · Apr 6, 2013

Could you make a High Elven version of the Arcane Guardian for me?
http://www.wowpedia.org/The_Curator

AndrewOverload519 · Apr 9, 2013

Okay, so I've now uploaded the finished Arcane Guardian. Download link's on the first page while it's still hot! :grin:

TaShadan · Apr 9, 2013

still waiting for the dwarven team to be released

Speaking of which, I still hadn't been able to identify the bug that causes the WE to crash which is why I hadn't been able to give it an official release. The sooner anyone helps out with identifying the bug, then the sooner I can release the Demolition Squad, otherwise it won't be given a proper release. EVER.

Oh, and here's the current build of the model as the last one that I've uploaded here is outdated. Please bear in mind that I've already checked through all of the possible causes and none of them seem to match the problem that I've been having with it.

i fixed it ... the problem is that u built the particles on a helper or something...
named ''torch'' and that type of particle must depend on bones ... u should move that three particles in the root of bone hand from the "torch"
i just deleted them , then the crash of world editor won't happened again
sorry about my english ... wish u could understand
