Northian Frost Caller

[Celaquil]

Intro:

Hello, im Keiji, known for terraining.

Project:

Actually it has not been made yet, cause of the lack of models needed for this, but i plan on making a champaign for a race i like to call "Northians", which is polar bears living in the harsh north of Orientia.

Request:

The request is about a model, well, actually its THE model Anyways, the model would be prefered if it was made frim buttom to topp, with a sort of spear/sabre weapon. But if there is no1 who wish to do this, then i want to request to make it out from the Polar Furbolg Shaman model, with some special spesifics:

- A new helmet, little Viking looking.

- Some shoulders, prefered something like metal spikey something.

- new claw weapons, though i CAN import claw weapons so this is not a MUST.

- Some sort of "War kilt" though i dont really want it to be closed, something like the orc shaman model's kilt

- and some armor which has some metal chains here and there, and some cloths here and there.

- Hero Glow.

The point is, hes part mage part warrrior, so i dont want him to look to warriorish but not to mageish either

Name: Skarn Stonefist (Northian Frost Caller)

Type: Warrior/mage/Shamanish

Details: I think ive made the point clear

Images: 2: one of the model, and one poor drawing of somewhat how i want the model, though your completely free to choose yourself how to make it.

 

[Deolrin]

Hmm... sounds interesting, perhaps i may give it a try? it won't look 'perfect', but you know, nothing is perfect. although one question, can i give him grunts\wolfriders helm?

 

[Celaquil]

You can, if you could do me a favour, make the "horns" look like light blue frost crystals ^^ and good to see someone tryes, this model is the most important to me that gets done

 

[Deolrin]

Eh, if i will do that, i will have to do an custom texture, which will increase the model size by 240KB or so, so i don't think so...

 

[Celaquil]

Aww.. Though, I dont care about the size of it, but maybe others do, so i wont say anything...

 

[Deolrin]

Oh, so if i will make it, should i upload it to the hive? ok!

 

[nastyboy_44]

To save time for you.. I will help you debode.. I can make that crystal ice thing..

 

[Celaquil]

Why not? Debode, why not...?

 

[Deolrin]

you can make what for me? if your talking about the skin, then please don't: making a skin just to crystallize some horns-i don't think so...

 

[nastyboy_44]

kkkk

 

[Celaquil]

Uhh.. I said the skin.

and i was talking to debode about uploading it to the site

 

[Deolrin]

So... i can start making it? and also i will give you a bonus: his hands will be glowing in blue(particles).

 

[Celaquil]

ofc you can, but i dont want you to be the only one trying ofc, if anyone else wanna make it then go ahead, ill choose the best one ^^

 

[nastyboy_44]

okay.. I'm just dropping by to see people trying to get help.

 

[Deolrin]

Oh, can i do him without the whole armor thingy? or give him someones armor? wait, do you know a unit in wc3 that got that type of armor? if you do, please tell me.

EDIT: Just noticed u need a kilt. OMG, Scottish Furbolg?


EDIT 2: W.I.P. pictures! only shoulders and helm for now, im working on armor.

 

[Deolrin]

New W.I.P.

New W.I.P pictures! now i (think) i done armor! i double posted because its a W.I.P, and i already have a W.I.P up there

There is only one problem: the death anim is VERY bad... i added the mdx so you can look at it in magos.

 

[Celaquil]

hehe, well, i dont got magos. But its comming along great, though i really think you should custom do the texture on the stuff making in look more vikingish, or something, and for the kilt, i didnt MEAN kilt, but some sort of robe over the legs, cause i think that part looks ugly, but back to the point, i would like it for you to do it with its own custom texture, no matter the size, but you decide, but really, it got this orcish look that i dont like that much, but ill wait and see for the final result ^^ Not that i dont like it or anything though

 

[Cavman]

debode, the reason the death anim looks bad is because you geomerged the chest on, making it really stiff. Here, I fixed it up. I also took the liberty to fiddle with the shoulder pads.

 

[Celaquil]

Nice Cavman, and it looks better in the WE than i thought it would, so thanks to both of you, still its not finished, i hope?

And dont forget to at least considre the re-texture part cause it would look 10 times better, and the filiesize wont matter cause its for a champaign not a battlenet map ^^

 

[Deolrin]

Oh, please... the only custom textures i know to do is Cn'P+ Hue And Saturation. But, i gont an idea: IF nastyboy will agree, he can make the texrue... but if you want the WHOLE model to be textured, it will be 6 skins because you will have to skin the orc marine, that furbolg, Arthas1(cinematic arthas), and more... anywas, i almost done the kilt, even that this isn't moving which the legs, because if it will move, it will look FrEaKy.


EDIT: More WIP's! i done the skirt, but i need someone(please cavman!) to fix the anims: the skirt has an special bone(the bone for hero glows), but it look weird... can someone fix that please?

 

[Celaquil]

yeah so, you dont need to do anything with the furbolg hiself, its only i think the armor as it looks now makes him look like barbarian from the desert or something orcish, and not vikinish.

HES COMMING ALONG NICE ! ! ! HAPPEY NOW?!

 

[varsaigen]

Eh, if i will do that, i will have to do an custom texture, which will increase the model size by 240KB or so, so i don't think so...

I can make the texture.

 

[Cavman]

Fixed the robe, now it follows the legs. Also gave him his feet back.

 

[varsaigen]

lol
Good job!

 

[Direfury]

Vars, wheres that Furbolg Beastmaster thing we were talking about?

 

[varsaigen]

I'm working on making sure it works properly. :/

Edit: Well, I found out that the errors I was finding was because they don't have the same skeletons. Otherwise it would've worked. You can try by using the Animtransfer. :/

 

[Direfury]

You do it.

 

[varsaigen]

If I can't figure out how to fix it, then how am I supposed to do it??? I know the problem but I can not fix it!!! They have different skeletons. Meaning some anims would be severly screwed up. I tried. ok? But I can't fix it.... >.>

 

[Direfury]

Rename the bones...?

 

[varsaigen]

I don't lnow if that would work. :/ I'm a noob when it comes to solving Anim transer problems. But I'm quick at finding the problem. I think it's just the shape of the skeleton that does it in. But, who knows, it might just be the name of the bones. :/

 

[Direfury]

Yeah I never looked that far into modelling shit.

 

[Deolrin]

Hey, im a little stuck here: which claws are better? Magnataur\Mammoth tusks or wendigo claws? please look in-game before teling me.

 

[Direfury]

Magnataur if you place them right.

 

[varsaigen]

lol. good luck with that. I used shaman claws for my necromancer. But yeah, the Magnataur caws do look better. therwise you'd have to recolor the claws from the Wendigo/Sasquatch. (maybe)

 

[Deolrin]

Hey, Varsag, i think magnataur claw fit to my one because magnataur is lyk white tusks :O. and shaman fit yours because it lyke black\silver claws :Z.

 

[varsaigen]

yeah, that's what I was thinking. The Magnataur already has the white textures meaning the tusks/claws would have to match to make it look good.

 

[Direfury]

Actually, think about the Fur. Brown fur, brown Furbolg. White fur, white furbolg. Black fur, black furbolg. The claw comes through the fur. You can see it on the horns texture too, I think.

 

[varsaigen]

ya, but the claws use the same texture. The claw shape is included with the skin. So the design for the claw's texture doesn't come from the fur.

 

[Deolrin]

W.I.P's !

New W.I.P.'s! i done the claws! it the magnataurs tusks... i think it fits PERFECTLY. i recorded the animations on HyperCam Unregistered and found the image quality of that program sucks, but nvm. Oh, and i HIGHLY suggest u will check that model in-game/in-magos.

 

[Direfury]

Awesome. Now then, think you can get us a Furbolg with beastmaster/pandaren anims?

 

[Deolrin]

this is imposible... Beasmaster/Pandaren got 3 sects on each 'big bone'. Example: Upper Arm, Medium Arm and Lower Arm. Furbolg got only 2 on each one.

 

[Direfury]

So learn how to animate, damnit. I wanna get a furbolg like that.

 

[varsaigen]

The instructions on the animtransfer says it all. Debode is correct. :/ Sorry.

 

[Celaquil]

Can you guys stop ditching MY request for your own project!

And btw, its looking awesome! Only thing now is to get a hero glow, and if you got some other ideas that would be nice, and some retexture on the shoulder and helmet, also, he needs a portrait and it would be nice if you made some frost particles at his arms while doing spells or something, else it looks great

 

[varsaigen]

I'm no ditching your requests, I need to think of other thungs to attach to the necromancer and while I'm thinking, I am making minor requests for Revellion (no offense Revellion). In short, I can multi-task.

 

[Deolrin]

Hey, Keiji dude, i MUST to add a dissipate anim to him?

 

[Celaquil]

no it dont but i got some ideas, would it be possible for you to add Arthas (paladin)'s cape onto him? and maybe blademasters necklase on the neck?

 

[Deolrin]

The Arthas cape is imposible(and it will make him look like Superman >_<), but about that necklace, i can try.

 

[varsaigen]

It is really hard (impossible) to make cape animations. :/ Blizzard knows that and has only tiny movements in the capes of their units.

 

[Celaquil]

ok, well, the shapeshifter sounds good, but finish this one first would ya ?
