It does need to be a bit more red. But still... HOLY FREAKIN CRAP THIS IS GOING TO BE EPIC, lol

 

[Misha]

Yeah, said to Chrome he needs moar red. ;]

 

[varsaigen]

i just need the teamcolor for the tendril beads and I'll be done! (making some changes to model as we speak

 

[varsaigen]

looks like some sort of demon. (with all those teeth) Like he is ready to rip anything that moves, with his teeth. Looks like he got twisted by chaotic energies from mine, into your more demonic version XD

 

[Misha]

with moar red it will look perfectly like Naj'entus C:

 

[Chaos.]

absolutly!!! Can't wait to pawn.

 

[varsaigen]

I think it already pwns! ^^ (and there can be some twisted corruption spell that turns mine into Misha's and grants him more demonic power )

 

[Misha]

how about makin a challenge in challenge forum
which model wins

my reward: 2 rep and back in chat
Var's reward: 10 rep x3

 

[Chaos.]

challenge section. Isnt that like any other competition, where you have to start before the comp starts. And i think that they have a new system where the loser gets -rep

 

[Misha]

if that is true then i'd leave hive D:

 

[Elven Spellmake]

Misha, I think these might help. =)

I just quickly exported several videos of Lord Naj'entus to give you an idea of his anims.
They are in *.flv (Flash Video) Format and so need a player like VLC (both Windows and Mac) to play them.

Next Post due to post character limit.

Pictures

Perhaps you could give the images to Chrome for the new skin?

 

[Misha]

1: sadly... i can't animate.
2: the picture shall be useful indeed

buut.... i'm not sure he has those weird fins
i was basing my model on different model than that.

 

[Elven Spellmake]

I'm using the model as it is in the game in the WoW Model Viewer version 0.6.0.3, so I would think its correct, and if it isn't, it looks cooler with the fins on his back and around his head.

Maybe someone else can animate him - if you know anyone who can animate.
But if not in-game anims might be sufficient.

 

[Misha]

WoW is known for makin everything too showy ~.~
so i shall be stickin' to model i showed to Chrome.

 

[Elven Spellmake]

Ahh I think the picture you used was missing the Fins because they have alpha, because they are slightly see-through. Some viewers don't like alpha.

If you do decide to change your mind, please do tell, he will look so much more EPIC with the fins.

The yellow that is on the fins and the neck looks really nice, and the model would be more Naga like with the fins.

WoW models arn't too fancy lol, its Wacraft III models that are too basic.
That is the game engines fault, as it is from 2002 lol.

 

[Misha]

Chrome did add somewhat of fins to my skin... as you can see on the pic i posted page ago..

 

[varsaigen]

weird. in thottbot, their model veiwer doesn't ahve us able to see the skin of the fins. no moss stuff on his head, no head fins. :/

 

[Misha]

Frankly.... the skin doesn't need that at all ?=3

 

[Elven Spellmake]

Varsaigen, as I said I think its because it uses Alpha and the thottbott one doesn't seem to like it. You can see this in the second and third picture, you can see the shell through the fins.

Please, please, please consider adding this to your model Misha - it would look so much better and more Naga like.

Please...

 

[Misha]

adding more details means more pollies and that means bigger filesize. besides if i add those it will look bad because it needs animating, which i don't know.

and varsaigen could tell you the same.... now he knows how to animate, buut.... it is tedious beyond your imagination.

So.... sorry to say.... noup '~'

 

[varsaigen]

oh god. the blizzard meshes are so screwed up D: all bones seem connected from the spine (just for the tail segments), it's not even funny! O_O I do not want to rig a naga model, nor animate it! O_O I'd die before making it look good! O_O

 

[Misha]

... i didn't expected that kind of reaction O_O....
but.. all in all... yeah =/

 

[Misha]

DISCUSS ;]

 

[varsaigen]

O_O ow. my eyes! So many orange fins! and... he'd have to crawl. the area below his chest wouldn't allow him to swim, since it's all skin and bone, and not a single working muscle D: talk about malnutrition D:

 

[Misha]

Now ... with a few more tweaks and geomerges, it will be a perfect monster of the deep. And the thinness too can be explained by the almost unreal fishes that dwell in the ocean depths :] (anathomycly speakin)

 

[varsaigen]

... but he isn't a fish. he's a naga. He has to have SOME muscle D: otherwise, he'd be a freak of nature crawling along the floor with bones everywhere. give him some wider tail under the chest. D: he would be left to crawling and not slithering or swimming like normal naga (even freaks) do D:

 

[Chaos.]

Sweet. Although i do agree with var, he needs to gain weight. Feed him a couple tons of fish and that should do the trick, lol.

 

[Misha]

Chaos and Var..... have you seen how freaky and impossibly thinn some deep fishes are? I will carry on as i planned with this naga.... and when i finish the design, then i'm open to change the waist area, if i change it at all.

and.... why do i keep stealin' your ideas var oO;; I thought of that anglerfish naga >.>;;

 

[Chaos.]

I know that it technically can be that thin, but i think it would look much cooler if it was a little more built. Or at least decrease to diameter of the chest, because the difference in chest and stomach size looks wierd.

 

[Misha]

..... as is the case on the "hatchet-fish" that lives in the depths.

Lulz...... if i were to do the naga based on just anglerfish he would look like a bloated slug with ridiculously huge teeth and no arms CX

 

[varsaigen]

yep. other mutant nagas are needed the gulper eel (D and so many other deep sea creatures D:

 

[Misha]

Uh... i've tried the gulper eel, it looks horrendous on a naga D: ...... tweakin' it to be right would require aditional pollies and custom animations D: , (gulper eel naga), which i'm sure you var won't even try to make Cx

 

[varsaigen]

lol and you'd be correct XD i should make custom naga mutants. like.... a vampire squid! >

 

[Misha]

now squids have no place among nagas Dx

 

[varsaigen]

XD doesn't mean I can't make the mutant

 

[Misha]

I was expressing my opinion C:

 

[Vakama_Lynx]

hey! has anyone noticed this??? - http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/resource.php?t=50752

 

[Vakama_Lynx]

how about a re-skinned villager with the head of the tidal guardian???

 

[Misha]

Yes we noticed that

On other hand i shall presonally hunt down CnPers and drown 'em >
So..... Noup.

 

[varsaigen]

what naga unit to create now...? D:

 

[Elven Spellmake]

I dunno, but whatever you choose one from WoW (If there are anymore left lol) - make sure you get a proper picture with Alpha.

 

[Chaos.]

Nooo. Wow made naga look too showy. Their style isnt that cool. Why dont you try experimenting with those web buildings that you talked about. I would definately use them. And since FoO will be done soon(about a month more) i will be needing some naga building models for my next campaign.

 

[Chaos.]

The thought of losing this group scared the crap out of me. lol

Anyways, back to business, at last the najentus models are complete!! but Var, is the WOW najentus really that wide?

 

[varsaigen]

slimed down a bit. The Social Group problems kept me from updating it (took my time making sure we got our group back) I will update it now :3

 

[Chaos.]

lol same, i havent done any work on anything because of it. But im pretty certain that Hakeem will leave this one.

Quote by Hakeem in chat.

"Naga fans sounds like it was productive and WC3 modding related."

 

[Misha]

my eyes, you old decievers, what are you seeing??

hehe we're back

 

[Chaos.]

So now that you've both finished Naj'entus, what's next?

 

[Misha]

dunno x3 any ideas while i rework my naga freak model?
