RPG/Villager Orc

[nightelfbuilder]

Nice! this would be really useful for making cinematics or even for a loading screen for a campaign! good job.

 

[Diegoit]

+5!!
Very Very useful, what you will do with this model?

 

[Alethos]

Nicely done!!
I can't believe no one has done this before--- (at first I thought that this was the same thing- but on closer look- it's not at all).

There are still a few issues with this model though (this is my first time looking at it, as I was pretty busy before)

1) I don't see where you use the villager hammer for any animation... If this is intended- then you should clean up (delete in MDLVis/ME) the geoset.

2) Decay flesh looks good in Magos but Decay Bone is off- his body is visible. To fix it- you can go to that animation in the sequence editor in mdlvis and click the body geosets and uncheck the 'visibility' box in the beginning keyframe. You can also do this in magos/mdl editing (sometimes mdlvis doesn't work, by going to geoset animation and finding/creating the appropriate geoset anim and clicking the 'animated' under the 'Alpha' box and putting in the first keyframe of the animation (found in mdlvis or sequence manager of mdlvis) then a colon and a 0
ie.
1800: 1 (stand anim 1= visible)
99800 : 0 (decay bone anim 0= invisible)

3) I would change the footprint data from small to large when clicking on them in the node manager in Magos. The 'Event track' field is where you put down an animation frame where it'll spawn the footprint. Delete the old ones and make new ones to fix it. One per walk animation cycle is good (just look in mdlvis where his left foot comes down in each walk sequence and put that frame in the left footprint event track repeating for each walk animation and for the right foot as well).

4) Edit > Model properties > change file name

That's all I can see for now- if you want an easy way to add teamcolor to the loincloth or gloves pm me.

@ Diegoit I'm going make a survival game with it where your attack animation depends on the weapon you use.

@Alethos Thank you! I finally get it! Model is hereby updated.

Oh ok, awaiting for it , Good luck.

Updated again today.

-Model optimized in mdlvis, including linearize animations.
-Some duplicated animations where removed.
-Deleted unused materials and textures.
-File size is now 114kb.

(thank you Alethos, i'm learning a lot)

The Orc is not using the Stand Alternate animation, I'm looking into how to resolve this.

Edit: Problem solved, update applied.

 

[Sieben]

Awesome model! Definitely useful.
I'd suggest to add the animation Stand - Stretch, like orc peons, if possible: it's a cool animation that I found useful sometimes. I don't know if it's feasible.
Anyway, amazing job! 5/5

 

[Xeryxoz]

I can already see a practical use for this inside Orc Gladiators, where all the units that have the same model have no other animation than those of a grunt. Great work!

 

[Plunders]

I'm starting to get some animations in there, not everything i thought of fits though. Any tips for animations fitting for an Orc is welcome! +rep if the animation makes it to the upload I will make a better portrait and try improving the hands once we got the animations to be more orcish.

 

[Diegoit]

Spell slam is bugged.

 

[Plunders]

Model was updated - The gutz geoset that was visible playing the 4 new animations has been hidden.
Animations are still WIP, and need more work.

Edit: Removed unused stand animations.

Oh this is nice, stumbled across this by chance, it is a much better version of HeroGrunt which has a similar texture. I will look to add to my map (Orc Gladiators: Revenge) and i will let you know how it works out.

Edit: Overall the model is great but has a few issues

1. (Fairly important): The health bars are off for the Channel animation set (they're way above the unit), and the health bar height is inconsistent between all animation sets. Is it not possible to set the health bar to be the same for all anims? I tried fixing it myself by using calculate extents and whilst it made them all the same, it made them too low (going into the neck of the model).
   
2. (Minor): The Flesh animation set (that uses Jaina's animations) has its left hand going into his leg, which looks pretty weird, though i appreciate the model is ~7 things at once and it's expected that one of the sets wont be cooperative
3. (Minor): The model is too small (most attachments on the hive feel like they are too big for it) though it was easy for me to re-scale the attachment points myself.

 

[Sieben]

I'm having quite an big issue when using left and right hand attachments, which don't display properly. They don't fit in his hands (I tried with two different attachment models, which used to work before). Would it be possible to tweak it? Thank you very much

 

[sniffitz]

Holy hell! I was looking for something exactly like this for 3 months now. You are a god!

 

[Plunders]

Thank you all for all of the feedback!
I will work on an update for the model, here's the plans:

1) Reworking 'spell slam' it still doesn't look nice.
2) Hand attachment location. (making attachments fit in his hand)
3) Model size. (making attachments fit in size)
4) Moving the hand in the 'flesh' animations.
5) Adding the camera to the model file and removing the faulty portait file.
6) Renaming 'stand - stretch' to make it easier to call via triggers.


Subject for change, please leave your oppinion:
I could transfer the wow-animations for 2 handed combat, would you like those better than the blademaster's animations?


@pick-a-chew I have no idea why the bars are off I'm hoping that once I increase the models size it will fit, if not i'll start a request to fix that.

Again thanks for the feedback

Edit: Updates applied +a bit extra, see changelog for details.

I absolutely love this model, with all of its animations! The pickup animation is a nice touch for immersion. Some things to note that would make it perfect for my RPG:
1. The "head" attachment point appears to be in the original Villager's position, causing helmets to rest on his neck, would it be possible to adjust this to match the orc's head?
2. The "chest" attachment is a tad low, causing some clipping in armour attachments for the legs and shoulders. raising it slightly would fix it.

These tests are based on Sunchip's armour packs. If you could adjust these, then the model would integrate with so many attachments! I'd love to have an RPG centered on a Orc hero!

Thanks,

Useful model to some, but since most of the works is adapted from KC I cannot approve this properly.
moved to substandard.
