Naked Lightning Elemental

[InfernalTater]

I never said I don't like the model, it's absolutely incredible, but I don't see why anyone would be resistant to fixing the ONLY flaw with his model. A model needs to be useful, having a large file size and taking forever to import will discourage people from using it, because this isn't the only model people are going to import; they need to have room to import plenty of other models without making their map take forever to download.
Is this model still great, even with the size? Yes. But it could be better with a more reasonable size.

I cant put all the textures in a single file, they have to be separate frames so 3dsmax and blizz arttools can animate them, seen how wather animations or water elemental textures are done in warcraft? Also I dont think that putting all textures into one single file will reduce size. I think 8 128*64 files are equal to one 128*512 file

 

[InfernalTater]

Tarrasque, you're forgetting that the model has to reference each texture individually. I've found that removing a dozen textures from a model does indeed lower the file size of the model itself, because it doesn't have to reference so many paths.

 

[Tarrasque]

ah thats right, I forgot.

Well it's not Awesome model. But it's works in-game 3/5 Approved

 

[InfernalTater]

Uh... wtf?
Firstly, you have 3 red gems, -20 rep, so your opinion doesn't really matter much.
Secondly, this model is definately not low enough for a 3/5.
The lowest this model can be properly given IMO is a 4/5.

 

[Deolrin]

Uhh. No.
The lowest a model can be given is 1\5. If the model deserves a 1\5, it gets a 1\5.

 

[InfernalTater]

Yes, but this model definately does not deserve such a low rating, if you take a look at the animations of textures.

 

[Tleno]

Ignore rukas90, I have trouble explaining him everything... -.-

Awesome Model. 5/5
Importing those Path's shouldn't be a problem, just use the "end"-key on your keyboard ... very useful, when having many imports
300KB more in my nearly 8MB map... (God thank the map optimizer )

Is there an icon for this awesome model?

No, but I think PeeKay's style would fit this nicely, maybe you could ask him.

great model 5/5

 

[AGD]

Very nice! 5/5

I prefer that there's a bit of explosion on the death animation though, or that it will leave some kind of lightning image leftover (like a translucent lightning statue) for a while atleast.

Does anyone know how to import this model? I tried everything I knew, so far no results.

It works for me. Are you sure you deleted "war3mapImported\" from the paths of all 13 textures?

I did. Do I need to delete it from mdx file too?

EDIT: Now they work. Again. XD
