MiniMage: Too simple. It looks cluttered and messy. Good luck with future models though.

This needs more work, right out the gate I can tell you that.

The archway or the cave entrance?

The problem I have with it is the rock color you used, it doesn't mesh well at all with the wooden colors of the rest of the building.

Also it looks awfully a lot like you just used the rock doodad and archway doodad and put them over the orc base. I'm not saying you DID do that, I'm saying it looks like that.

Furthermore you should probably make the entrance look like it is actually an entrance, currently it is very easy to see that it is blocked off by the rest of the rock.

I've tried to make it more similar as the WC2 Ogre Mound. But I'll work more on it. Maybe the Barrens textures will mesh well...

We always need more building models, but it would really be nice if they weren't always so lazily made. We've got the doodad merges made by most people, and then the lazy tower rewrap made by myself, whom I also consider a noob (yes I insulted myself).

Can't we have some pros making buildings for once?

Anyway, seriously, work on this. Don't just rip the top of a tower and stick some doodads around it. Make something out of them. Reshape their mesh into the shape of the building you're imagining, and then wrap a different texture to them. By the time you're done, we shouldn't even know what doodads you used to make it.

That Model Needs to be more Work
but its ok try and Try it

 

[DaHomieG]

Try improving on it. I love the spikes and the roof.

5/5 +rep

Nice model , but the stones are strange , i mean they look like a cave . But great work !

 

[Rubellu Sidus]

The Ogre Mound (WarCraft 2), if you notice, is really a cave! ^^

 

[kakuzu]

Honestly , i didnt play Warcraft 2 but anyway it is a nice building

 

[Rubellu Sidus]

Fair enough, thanks anyway

I will echo what has been said by others, especially Infernal. Great to see Wc2 models, and great to see models for Ogres... But while this has the makings of greatness, it needs a bit more work.

A rule of thumb is the less-recognizable the parts are (doodads, buildings, units, etc) in the geomerge, the better.

Also, I am always leery when people use the game-provided background textures in their building (trees, leaves, bushes, ground, etc); those textures are designed to blend in, to literally be the background. Moreover, I find that they look AWEXOME in their own tileset, and really weird outside of it.

Good luck!

I really don't know what changes to made...its very likely to a cave, but If I increase more I think it would become too heavy in the terms of beauty, and will loss the terms of simple, primitive, as should be...a cave...

This doesnt have anything to do with the WC2 Ogre Mound and putting random doodads together within the orc base doesnt count as having made an building.
This is the Warcraft 2 Ogre Mound:

Again, how is this even relevant to that ?

 

[MasterHaosis]

I like how you are geomerging stuff. You kinda remind me of me...
Nice building anyway

 

[Rubellu Sidus]

Thanks MasterHaosis. I'm kinda noob . Eagle, have you ever seen Ogre Mound in WC2?

[Rubellu Sidus]

Yeah, It's a cave, with fire pit, some bones and spikes....
