Last WIP:

More or less what i wanted, well?

 

[Tleno]

Pissed:
"Yes, I'm Goth. Do I look like an Emo for you?"
"*burb* I really liked those murlocs... the were so soft..."
"...Like my mom's cookies..."
"I also had a tedybear called Misha... No Mish..! *boom*"
"That Misha was not so tough.. *zapp!* *Crying naga*"
"Still, I'm the coolest guy up here. (Childishly) I think I will go eat some momy's cookies..."

 

[Misha]

Whahaha

 

[Vakama_Lynx]

you stuck with the turtle shell

 

[Misha]

Yus.

 

[sacridshadow]

tleno, those qoutes weren't even realistic. Players will be asking, "Who's this misha guy he keeps mentioning?". It's funny, since we know misha, but for those who don't, it's just plain nonsense. Heck, I didn't even understand the o mish... boom. part. did the teddybear blow up? or did misha cause him to blow up? Blizard never put in references to other characters like that. Cause maybe there weren't any archons around, and he said "that misha wasn't so tough". What's that going to look like? nonsense. that's what. the qoutes are only going to be used for one thing. and I'm sure people don't want to click on him and have him say "...Like my mom's cookies...". Does that even make sense?

oh, and where's his attack quotes? try coming up with some that aren't related to people. He doesn't look goth or emo, just some wierd mutant freak with four arms (2 of which won't be used) crying for his mommy. yeah..... that sure sounds terrifying. XD

 

[Elven Spellmake]

I like the beefed up shoulderpads, much better now.

I know your stubborn Misha and you'll just say no but please get Chrome to do a skin. Maybe somthing like black with yellow and bright purple-magenta highlights.

Just to make it really stand out and look brutish. =)

The current skin doesn't look good. =/

P.S. He can do the Turtle shell too while he's at it. Also can I see what he looks like with the shell increased in size?
It does look kinda small currently.

 

[Misha]

humm.. do i rly need to have all models with custom skin

and elven, the turtle shell is the right size, bigger or smaller than that and it ruins the model =S

 

[67chrome]

I don't know if this really needs a custom skin, but right now the textures sampled seem to have different enough color schemes that they seem a bit random :/

The chains and shoulders are pretty bright right now, if all his armor was that shade it would probably look OK but with the shell it seems like brand new armor+scraps thrown together to create armor don't really fit, and the golden bits on the myrmidon skin clash a bit with this as well. I know the pit lords have chains on their textures, maybe see what golden chains and gold/black shoulder pads look like/or the slightly darker chains from Manaroth

If you want to keep the current chains at least modify the beard/dreadlock things that have gold on them to not have gold on them :/

 

[Misha]

i can't rly modify the chains to be darker with ingame texture.
and as for the dreadlocks a skin can fix that, so if you rly think so... then make somewhat a dragonturtle naga and fit is neatly with the rest of armor Chrome

 

[Elven Spellmake]

I assume by Chrome's response he doesn't want to do a custom skin even if Misha wanted him to. Which he doesn't.

I hate Warcraft IIIs limited system and blurry textures. =/

Also, Misha, can't you create a custom texture that is 1x1 and is just black (It'll have to have an XX% alpha on it), and add it to the Geosets with the chains and shoulderpads (hopefully seperate from the rest of the model.) using somthing like blend.

Or is there a blank with alpha or near blank with alpha texture in the game?

Wouldnt it then shade them darker?

 

[Misha]

your suggestion will indeed shade the chains darker, but it will ruin the alpha, making the chains look ike some black cloth with chains painted =S

 

[Power]

you gonna upload that dude?

 

[Misha]

yes, but not sure when
all keep tellin' me to put a custom skin on him
i need Chrome for custom skin

 

[Elven Spellmake]

Grr, I forgot it would ruin the chains Alpha. =/

There must be way of shading models, can a Geoset animation do it?

 

[Misha]

not quite, they only give a crapy recolor that is worse than vertex coloring in WE

 

[Chaos.]

I think that it would be fine without a custom skin. But you have to ask yourself, "will it get accepted?" Hive moderators are annoying. They dont look at models based on usefulness. They judge it purely on quality. Honestly i dont think that there is enough to this model to be accepted. So i think that it needs a custom skin before you submit it. But it doesnt necisarily have to be a new skin. You could use some older naga skins to make him.

 

[Elven Spellmake]

Lol you think they judge models on quality. Lack of really.

I think they judge them on whose is the lowest polies and has the least particles.

Barely anyones PCs nowadays even mine has a problem rendering lots of particles or polies.
Just make sure no-one ends up past the "maximum" limit the engine pushes forward.

For example Pyritie made Misha cut his particles to 30 from 60. That was unnecessary as Blizzard frequently uses 50+ particles for models, AND this model is a hero!
They make people reduce polies and billboard things that don't need to be billboarded. =/

As I said earlier, it doesn't look like Chrome wants to do a skin, however if he did I would "beg" that he chooses something out of the ordinary and not the same blue/green/orange/yellow colour schemes. Somthing like Yellow and Orange would be interesting!

As all you need is a simple shading, I think that the Geoset Animation is enough. Just check "Use Colour" and choose a lightish grey and see what it looks like. Vary the grey until they looks darkerish (<-- Is that even a word ). I am assuming that the chans and shoulderpads are a seperate Geoset and that should work fine.

 

[Tleno]

And who told you my quotes were serious? Those are just jokes.

 

[Misha]

Elven.. that'll ruin the model worse than alpha lack (at least ingame) >_> i know, i tried >_> since noone wants to help i tried and discovered that. >_>

 

[Gyrosphinx]

Pissed: "Yes, of course they are stainless steel!"

 

[Misha]

lol... cool

 

[Gyrosphinx]

Attack: Hope you like bruises *4 punch sounds*

 

[HailFireer]

You see that metal plate on his arm. well, I dont like the skin. It looks futuristic. Maybe something like normal metal. Maybe even a little rust.


Else is awesome.

 

[Misha]

That IS normal metal >_>

 

[HailFireer]

Ye but it doesnt look naga-like. More human-like.

 

[Misha]

i would guess this brute was trained to fight by humans...

 

[Tleno]

I would guess he KILLED HUMANS and STOLE THEIR STUFF. And hairstyle.
