lol overuse of Naga death knight quote xD

 

[sacridshadow]

overuse? nah, more like common knowlege and science. lol

 

[varsaigen]

so... my Naga Warlord is feeling left out of the invasion... I think he wants an invite

 

[Misha]

what part of "will do when my naga is aproved" you don't understand? oO

 

[Chaos.]

Hey misha, if you keep making naga, then i could pretty much consider you as the modeler for my naga campaign, lol. Deathknight, worker, and warlord, were all models that i requested, hehe.
Im getting so tired of FoO, i just want to finish it so that i can start the naga campaign. But its hard to get motivated to work on it. After im done the OotE (order of the elders) cinematics, then i will work on it and finish it. It would probably only take me an hour per map, now that i know how to trigger, so i dont know why im slacking so much, lol. Then i will start on the naga campaign and put your deathknight (and the others) to use. It will be an epic campaign. FoO will be crap compared to the naga campaign (mainly because i will actually try, lol)

 

[Chaos.]

I am planning on making four seperate naga races- Coilfang, daggerspine, bloodcursed, and wrathscale. They wont be full races (obviously). It will have 2-3 buildings with 4-5 units each. (mainly just to provide units and to make the campaign more unique and fun)
I am hoping to recruit a few modelers and skinners to make me some naga units.

Coilfang- Models will have a royal guard style of skin (green)

Daggerspine-Myrmidon or siren style skin(blue). temple like buildings(original naga buildings)

Bloodcursed-Warlord najentus style skin(red, and yes, again, planning the feast, rofl)-Buildings will be more coral like. With alot of coral attachments.

Wrathscale- deathknight style Woot!! lol

Ive already started designing them. Each one will have several unique features so that they are all different.

 

[Misha]

you can save space by just aplying color to same modeled units :3

and Lol Chaos It will take SOME time to make those so you defintivly have to wait x3

 

[Chaos.]

Well i still have to finish FoO. And then since i will be making the naga campaign ALOT better, It will be a LONG time before i actually need more models. So no rush.

I hate changing color on units, it looks like crap. And i dont really care about size. For a campaign, big size normally means good quality. Take the chosen one campaign for example: 100mb and still has over 10000 dls. So size isnt that big of a deal.

 

[Misha]

lol i'm just so minimalistic in all (cut-corners mania x3)

 

[Chaos.]

Size+campaign=quality(normally)
Size+multiplayer game=Lag
hehe

I dont see why people are afraid of size in campaigns. for example, instead of importing several awesome zombie models, they try to make 12 different units using one ingame zombie model. Or even worse, they change the color of something like a foot man and call it an undead soldier. I hate that, lol

 

[varsaigen]

just think. :3 Different buildings for each clan . Necro for Wrathscale. More of curved spikes around dark stone and coral buildings. Green magic floating above their sentry towers (acts as Ziggarat for undead (tower unit) and could poison them (Poison Arrow ability?) )

I am sure I could probably design a few of the buildings But the Coilfang would have the standard naga buildings, since they were royal guard

Daggerspine... most likely to have webbed buildings (like what allows an animal to swim. Not a spider's webbing XD)

Bloodcursed: More spikes, and lots of weapons in the design? More military-like :3

 

[Misha]

lol i'm gonna add moar skins and modelz to my Bas Celik campaign

 

[Chaos.]

Nice ideas. First of all i want to let you know that i am not follow blizzard at all in the design of each race. And this takes place like 40 years after the time of arthas, so their cultures and other stuff like that have changed. I want to make the blood cursed more of an anomily type race. like najentus. I thought it would be cool to make make coral and shells growing growing their bodies. That is why i want them to have coral buildings. They became weaker (in military) but they are alot more Inteligent. Good point about the coilfang. I like the idea about the webbed buildings but i just cant picture what it would look like.

Daggerspine-Diplomatic race, Very intelligent
Coilfang-War race, Very strong, Midiam intelligence
Blood cursed-Experimental race,(especially with coral and sea life), High Agility, intelligent

 

[Misha]

Lol.. are you puting high warlord Najentus into bloodcursed? o3o

 

[varsaigen]

this is the fin idea But imagine how cool it could look on the sides of certain buildings as well

BTW, I have an abyssal Naga unit made. just need to finalize it before it's 100% finished

 

[Chaos.]

That would be pretty cool with the web. But i dont think that it would suit my daggerspine clan. But for the bloodcursed it would be awesome. Great idea.

Sweet!!! could you post a pic of it.

 

[varsaigen]

Naga Lurker: I'll show a pic It's really a simple edit though :/ Just need the rod to disappear with the death and decay anims (if anyone could help with that, I'd be grateful)

It's kinda a simple geomerge, but I think it's a cool idea nonetheless

EDIT: anyways, now it is complete! >
Naga Lurker

Building: I could probably design a concept :/

 

[Chaos.]

I could definatly make use of it for the daggerspine tribe. Its very simple, but i could use alot of simple models like that.

Sweet. That would be great. Cant wait to see the result.

 

[varsaigen]

awesome. Looking forward to seeing it in action :3

 

[Misha]

that model could really do some more love from ya varsaigen :3

 

[varsaigen]

meh. it was a simple idea. :/ If I realy wanted, I could add armour. But I don't know what would work for a naga living in the abyss (lowest point of the ocean, where sunlight cannot penetrate, and red blood is green :/)

 

[Misha]

well.. looking at the actuall anglerfish... they should be all thorny and disfigured x3
far removed from normal naga

 

[varsaigen]

meh. I was taking the rod idea... not remaking the naga design overall. :/ though... I probably could make it look more monster-like. thorny, larger, teethier jaw... yeah :/

 

[Elven Spellmake]

the maelstrom's wicked energy mutated the tribe, turning them into monsters of the deep.

Hmm, they should be mutated as you said, and not just a rod. You seem to have a better idea in your post above...

I would love a red and yellow skin for a Naga, even if it was a recolour... (*Ducks* Damn you Misha for being part of the CnP hunters - CnP if used well is a wonderful tool.)

It would create variety, rather than just green/blue skins.

(Basically all models use something CnP from Blizzard. Either a ribbon, or parts of the mesh, animations etc)

 

[varsaigen]

lol true. :/ But do you have any ideas for armour? Perhaps I could create really spiky, orange-brown armour plate for the shoulder. :/

 

[Misha]

Hahaha! i shall hunt down and fry any CnPer
but you do not need to fear me here x3

var@ Well how about moving the anglerfish rod on shoulder and maybe makin' another one on the other shoulder? also that round light could be done just with particles. :3
as for armor.... i think you should make freaky lookin' one shoulderpad and something on tail. and that should be enough :3

 

[varsaigen]

lol I already have the shoulder armour done. Just need to skin it :/

No, I'm not putting the rods on the shoulders. He's going to look more like an anglar fish, not a guy with shoulder lamps XD

Yeah, I could have made the light with particles, but I wanted to make sure they sank with the body, instead of staying on the surface. :/

 

[Misha]

...... Do you know how to attach the particle to a bone so it follows the model while staying in place? oO

 

[varsaigen]

ya. I just figured out how to make something sink with the rest of the corpse.. But I don't know how to make the light fade upon unit death D:

 

[Misha]

if it's particle, i know how to fix it :3
EDIT i fixed the particles on the wimpy naga model btw...

 

[Misha]

Oh, and i started on the Lord Najentus model :3
although my priority is the wimpy naga model.
tell me should i rename it to NagaSorceror or keep NagaWorker oO

 

[Chaos.]

Woot!!! Najentus!!!

Well, arent you going to give it worker looks and anim.

 

[Elven Spellmake]

I'm fine using the Slaves as the Naga Workers... I'd like to replace the female Naga Sorcerors, they (particularly the sound set) annoy me.

 

[varsaigen]

I don't like the outfit on the worker. perhaps stay with mur'guls as slaves? Or perhaps it was a naga, enslaved by humans. :/

 

[Chaos.]

Although if you're going to put it on the hive as naga worker, you will probably get killed by lore keepers with the fact that blizzard naga dont work, they get slaves. So maybe just call it a sorceress. But i will still use it as a naga worker. Its just like your deathknight, if you had called it naga hunter or somthing like that then you would have everyone complaining, lol.

 

[Misha]

well i alreaddy gave him anims that pull gold. will see about the rest.

 

[Misha]

oh, and btw chaos.... i've reworked the mouth of my NagaDeathKnight. download and see if you like it.

 

[Chaos.]

Sweet, ive DL-ed it, im busy atm but ill test it later.

 

[Misha]

ti's still the same size :3
added spikes to Lord Najentus btw...

 

[Chaos.]

Cool, be sure to post pics so that we can see the progress.

 

[Misha]

not untill i add the shell arm

 

[Misha]

btw.. have you seen the comments on my naga model thread?? someone wants me to make naga paladin XD

 

[varsaigen]

already suggested for the contest part lol I beat the guy to the idea XD

 

[Misha]

muh, making a model would be easy part, but Chrome needs to do the texture and he's too busy right now. + i have to build him a model OuO

 

[Elven Spellmake]

I like the Female Naga Paladin (Warrior) that someone made on W3C. Its a shame about its dodgy attack animation =/, its still useable anyway. I would love a male Naga paladin too. (It would be even better if they sorta looked like each other, cept the male one being more like the Death Knight model you made.)

 

[Misha]

let me guess, that guy used some of the female naga models?

 

[Elven Spellmake]

Re the Naga model: http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=90946

Naga Warqueen

I like it, its a very different style to the default female Naga model. And that is probably why I like it so much.

I would like someone to really give some love to it though. I would prefer two hands instead of 4 (keep the bottom two hand's texture, and move the other two around a bit, if that makes any sense at all lol.), and the animations need a fix, especially attack which she slashes with both weapons, and only one gets a sound in the game. She needs to attack with only one really. =/

 

[Misha]

that is cool but that ain't a paladin x3

 

[Elven Spellmake]

Oh yeah, but I use it for one ;-)

 

[Misha]

well it ain't bad =/
