Puppetmaster

[Wazzz]

This is such a cool and creative model, I especially love the little details in the Walk animation <3

 

[Plebbetry]

Beyond awesome model.

The Stand 3 animation where the puppeteer hits him in the back of the head genuinely made me laugh hard.

 

[Footman16]

Would be cool if both models could be separated as well, my idea would be after killing the puppetmaster model, the demon would split off and you'd then be able to kill it.

 

[FlameofChange]

What a damn impressive model with everything needed ; maybe a bit more TC but it's nice as it is.

 

[raypack]

Insane! 5/5

 

[Lord_Of_Outland]

Perfect remake old model of Don Dustin

 

[Saelendious]

You just keep cooking up bangers

 

[FeikVizeege]

Oh my ... I miss this model so much.

 

[Carefree World]

A very creative idea.

 

[stein123]

Your animations are top notch <3

 

[kangyun]

woah!!!!

 

[Greedy Procrastinator]

lovely couple

 

[hexhound]

True to form, five star model. Incredible details in the anims.

Please fix it so that all geoset disappear at the end of Decay animation.

 

[deepstrasz]

Mr. Behind, there to pull you to action.

Please fix it so that all geoset disappear at the end of Decay animation.

i did it, but i don't understand why does it matter, explain please
if you kill him near the edge of the map and rotate the camera down to see under the ground, you can see that game removes the unit immediately after decay ends anyway

From my understanding it's because most of the in-game models behave that way, where their "gutz" slowly disappear until nothing is visible at the end of the animation. I do see your point though, the issue won't matter for general use, but would be a good habit to fix it.

 

[Villagerino]

Dayum, that's good. The master's finger manipulation is amazing, the gestures are great, the animations are vivid and varied, I also like the custom portrait animation and the work with textures/mesh. Even though the animation is a bit clunky, I would give this creation its best

 

[boynpark]

Your creation makes me think about creating another character for my map.

 

[BLEEDAL]

so beautiful model

 

[Deolrin]

So this is clearly a remake of @D a w n 's old Puppet Master model. I guess I'm a little confused as to why there is no mention of that in the description. Did you contact her at all regarding remaking her work? Just curious.

EDIT: I guess now there is! My bad, I didn't see that before. Bears mentioning though that she changed her username.

used to be known as DonDustin, now it's she/her?
i will not respect those who have deleted their resources and <REMOVED by Ralle>

I see. You used to be one of my favourite artists on the site and a pillar of the Hive's community.
Now I see that you are a cruel and small person. You've lost all of my respect.

now i'm sure my days here are numbered, because feelings of someone who not only deleted all of his stuff but also hasn't done anything since, are more important than me who still uploads but is oh so terribly rude and bigoted
that's alright, you can keep all of my resources when you ban me

 

[Deolrin]

Basic human decency is much more important than talent. Don't play the victim, you are the aggressor here. Consider a less hostile approach to life. Also consider dispelling some of your ignorance and learning about other people. We're all the same, getting upset at someone for existing shows more about your own personality than anything else.
As an aside, you show massive hypocrisy in respecting a person enough to be inspired by their work (in a very direct manner) and yet disrespecting them by being verbally abusive towards them and (initially) providing no credit or recognition for their work.
You literally could have asked to remake the model and very likely you'd have received a positive response. It would probably have been flattering if you didn't choose to be a sneaky thief and a bigot.

where were these walls of text when i wanted feedback for my post in troll modeling contest?
where were these walls of text when i upload half-baked stuff? no one mentioned crappy attacks on original revenant, nobody mentioned half-baked portrait animations on greed, nobody mentioned awful walk on councilmember
nobody interested in giving me any criticism for this supposed "talent" i have but misgendering and not asking for permission from someone who left? oh no can't keep quiet about that horrible injustice
i'm not interested in arguing with people who argue 24/7, either ban me now or don't, that's my final post in this thread

 

[Tuwnew]

Where was the Gondor when the Westfold fell?

Amazing work!

 

[Krasniy Half-elf]

A very interesting and beautiful model. I will definitely use it in my work. Thank you ^^

I don't want to see you have to leave the hive. I appreciate the content you make, and on some level agree with the stance that people who delete their resources from the site often come across as petty (even though it is their resources to do so).

I don't really get the need to not respect someone's gender identity, though, it doesn't really cost anything. If you've felt overlooked or hard done by on the site, I think a lot of people can empathise that they wish they were treated better in different situations (not exclusive to this site, it's just human nature), but why disrespect D a w n? I don't really get that.

What kind of feedback were you looking at specifically in the troll model contest?

Do you know if D a w n is back in making models? I miss her old work, would love to see them again

You could just... not be those things?

Not sure people still need to point stuff out in these instances, since you seem to be aware of what you could do better. Self-awareness is a good trait to have.
Taking things out on someone who inspired you is not a way to resolve your issues. Try not to let your negativity overshadow your artistry.

Honestly, you all should sort out your priorities not to use this video game modding site as a medium for social justice action or political correctness critique.

A close friend of mine had her concept stolen and then insulted and trampled over <REMOVED by Shar>. You may live in a bubble where people's existence/identity is a "political opinion" on the internet, but don't assume that applies to everyone.

 

[Shar Dundred]

All emotions involved in this matter are understandable but it is time to return to the actual topic now.

 

[MasterHaosis]

Would be cool if both models could be separated as well, my idea would be after killing the puppetmaster model, the demon would split off and you'd then be able to kill it.

Well, I would suggest this idea as well, two models are definitively good idea to merge/detach themselves at will as well. That demon spirit may fly for example, or to have other abilities which are absent now because demon needs to fucus its energy at controlling this golem.

I agree with the most of people that this is really good work, that demon that controlls the golem is a cool idea. I did not see the original model this is based on, but I suppose it is good as well.

I don't want to see you have to leave the hive. I appreciate the content you make, and on some level agree with the stance that people who delete their resources from the site often come across as petty (even though it is their resources to do so).

I agree with this here. I also do not like when people emo quit and delete all their resources. According to my humble opinion, not only this is childish and immature, but you also punish other people who enjoy your work because of some minority you had issues with. And there are always people who enjoy someone's work. This site is huge.

Honestly, you all should sort out your priorities not to use this video game modding site as a medium for social justice action or political correctness critique.

I agree on this as well.
@tillinghast please do not go. I also do not want to see you going. I do not like to see good artists going. Your models are mostly fantastic and unique, and some are barely seen made elsewhere.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Well this thread happened.

I did not see the original model this is based on, but I suppose it is good as well.

This is one of the few remaining screenshots I can find of it, and here it appears to be asked for & provided, if you wanna take a look.

 

[tillinghast]

acknowledging author of original model in the description was a mistake, i will not make it again
if i find a deleted model that i want to make a remake of - i will, and i will not ask anyone's permission
you all have lost your minds with credits and permissions
i'm not asking anyone's permission to make a model from scratch (which is what this model is, none of the original's mesh or animations were used, i opened them side-by-side, recreated the mesh and aped dreadlord's animations for puppet)
if these people wanted to be acknowledged and considered, they should not have deleted their models from the website
going forward, the only way i personally will acknowledge the original authors, once i make another remake, is if they restore their deleted models, in which case they can have the full credit and i will be only an uploader
if they don't want to restore models - they can contact the administration and together they can write whatever they want in the description and authors field
more than that, i don't hound people for credits - mapmakers can credit whoever they want for anything i post, that was always will be the case

stolen

yeah, i stole something that's not there anymore, and i will steal again

You've lost all of my respect.

not a big loss, you never had any of mine, because you choose to spend your time here arguing instead of making models, mr. 8000 posts

 

[ILH]

A well-animated recreation of the original puppetmaster.
Works in-game. Approved!
