Doo-doo doo doo doo didd a litty litta doo MARIO!!! Awesome and funny alhough head looks a little ummm squishy. Also theres a certain peasant jumping out of a minecart model that may help with this. Maybe by looking at it it may give you ideasas in coming up and down in pipe. Overall I liked it till I saw filesize a bit high for just a plant xD but i guess if you were making a maze map filesize wouldn't be #1 thing on your list.

its narrow so it didnt look like a balloon (its head) different angles may give it justice. Always hard to judge by a still picture.

 

[oscarb]

Looks nice

Looks nice at the picture! Hope its looks nice in a map

 

[pippo]

Awesome

it will if you try to make it work like a piranha plant would, thus needing some triggers... halt commands and such.

Never tried to make it ranged and spit fire balls but I guess it could.


EDIT: No need to trigger halt anymore since piranha plant is classified as a structure/building

 

[The_beast_of_doom]

hmmmmmmm tested it out does look nice. It would be awesome if you could make it shoot little balls of fire.

Just open up the object editor and set these...
Art-Projectile Launch-X: 40
Art-Projectile Launch-Z: 189
Combat-Attack 1-Animation Damage Point: 0.300
Combat-Attack 1-Projectile Art: Abilities\Weapons\FireBallMissile\FireBallMissile.mdl

yea i figured they had a fire projectile that was useable... only thing is the animations are more melee.. So when I am done with other more important models I could perhaps make one version with spit animations. (and change it to a green piranha plant to make it slightly unique)

Oh my god. Finally, someone actually thinks about making a Piranha Plant and does it! Woo. Thanks a million, this is very useful, definitely will put it in my map.

np, i thought about mario maps... and how can you have mario without piranha plants... (YOU CANT!) It seemed tricky to pull off, but with some outside help Its working perfect

It was annoying trying to give it teeth because I had to manually go in and split up the parts in a closed mouth and open them during animation, way worth it though. The little thorns on the sides were my added concept.

 

[Azsure]

Great, now this is really good. I've always liked the piranha plant and they are really funny indeed.

 

[The Panda]

Haha, nice model!

well, this would be the second one :/ The first one (mine) had some errors and I never got back to remaking the model. :/

Edit: Just tested it, and I found that it is simply a shadow in the game. And, in magos, it looks great, but the stand anim has the plant biting the bottom of his pot.

 

[Supaherobomb]

WEWT MAKE IT SHOOT FIREBALLS AND.....
fix the head lol

 

[Mr. Bob]

Why is the entire model squished along the y axis? I don't understand why you didn't make it perfectly round... lol, it baffles me how you came to the decision... D:

Plus, the texture is weird. The dots are barely noticeable. Look up the actual creature. Also, with the texture, the lips look like smeared white lipstick.

I usually don't comment on other people's models, but this one just baffles me...

And, the stand 1 anim is all screwed up. Atleast, in magos anyway. And, doesn't the piranha plant shoot fireballs? Not, weird head swipes?

SO MANY QUESTIONS! MY BRAIN HURTS!

 

[varsaigen]

well, in Super Mario 64, they did try biting. :/ Well... they were sleeping, so... they lashed out. Never shot a signle fireball :/ Even mine bit. Cause I was most familiar with Super Mario 64 :/

the stand animation is not important since the plant is under the terrain.. Its mostly just flickering because of some vision track error. (in magos you will notice it , but in game its fine)

Again with the stand animation.. I wish ppl would refrain from it in magos.. It's flickering but you do not see the plant in the game. It only pops up upon its attack. (If it appears to be moving its because it is blending into its next key animation)

I will go about rounding the head, amazing how picky people get about textures though as if I cant add my own touch to them .. I made it a bit smeary on purpose instead of a flat smooth line. (it wasnt a texture error)

Yes the piranha plant did bite... geez, people dont play old school mario? He would pop straight up and start chomping, however him doing that in warcraft would look extremely stupid.. so I made him lash out at passing units. (3rd dimension sheesh)

EDIT: Head has been fixed btw.

 

[Mr. Bob]

It's not just the head! It's the whole freaking model that isn't round! D:

The head was purposely shaped the way it was, as for the rest of the body, I havent a clue what your'e talking about.

That looks pretty round to me, just dots on top of head need a little fix .

I'm sorry, but that tube is NOT round... It's an oval..

 

[varsaigen]

I have to agree with Mr. Bob on this one. Pipes are round, and not ovals. How many oval pipes have you seen in your life?

Well how many mario piranha plants have you actually seen in your life?

Regaurdless pipe has been tweaked in update a bit

 

[varsaigen]

does that count the one I made? (mods kept demanding smaller polies till it was unreconizable, other than black spots I didn't know how to fix at the time :/)

just saying its a cartoon if I wanted oval pipes i could have them but oval pipes arnt intended here.

I wouldn't know about your model.. the only other piranha plant I have seen was the one in the mario side scroller map hosted here.. (It didnt have spots.. looked a venus fly trap)


perhaps when starcraft comes out they will have higher poly models... I noticed warcraft will work with Editable Poly's which reduce poly count by half but make the file size larger.

 

[LightxKira]

Yay more mario! Gunna make another skin for it for alternate colors or is it team color?, (green one?)
