Saruman (War of the Ring)

[HerrDave]

Note - The model viewer doesn't display the colour changing robe correctly.

In-game and in the editor, the team-coloured parts of the robe retain their normal colour.

I like it a lot, looks very good. I especially like what you did to his face.

 

[Loki18]

the face is awesome

Gotta love your models, they fit ingame so nicely, no matter the history and franchise. You can go and throw all the models into a map and maybe with an exception here and there they all doesnt feel disconnected.

The only thng that I dislike about it is the walking animation- I know Saruman isnt made to run around, but in a map it might happen, and that very standard walking circle might turn quite funny. Maybe adding also a faster jogging or some more movement to the hands would help it?

 

[HerrDave]

I'm thinking about doing just that

 

[Tamplier]

awesome))

 

[Hazop / Sarven]

I expected some more white hair but otherwise, a great model!

 

[HeroEditor]

All of your War of the Ring models are perfect! They are just as good as those in WotR.

I hope that you will made all the models from that game, because with wc3 you or anyone else can make right everything that is wrong in WotR and make a great RTS game just like WotR only better.

I like this so much, I would gladly help you with it. I don't know a lot but I'm open for learning.

You have my support!

Looks great ingame, and the fading chromatic effect is cool. 5/5.

 

[SonsOfSami]

Excellent work, the model looks very similar to the concept.
Also, nice effects, you might want to update the description and remove (coming soon) after prison of ice since you added it.
Edit: Nevermind, description updated.

 

[HerrDave]

I think we're the same person, because you commented right as I updated the model xD

 

[SonsOfSami]

Lol xD
The voice of saruman effect is very nice, and you did it only with ingame textures!

 

[Dinodin]

I really have no words how awesome this model is and also the spells effects! It's just like it's totally ripped from the original WOTR game. I love you! You really have a talent for modeling Keep up the good work! 5/5 Maybe give him Necromancer death sound? It suits more for Saruman and the Druid of the Talon death sound suits better for Gandalf in my opinion.

 

[HerrDave]

I wish people would stop saying that, actually

I'm in hot water right now because someone legitimately accused me of ripping models

 

[infrenus]

Eh, we know they arent rips. Many have ingame textures and you can see them slowly updating, the dude who said that just couldnt see the difference.

Isn't that great, that you making models so well, that people think that you just ripping models?

At this point he could start ripping models and no one would know the difference.

Ripping models is not allowed here isn't it?

Correct - Ripped models are against the rules of the Workshop.

Concerning future Models / Accusations of ripping
I was actually put on trial by Hive Staff because someone made the case that my models were rips
I'm still waiting on the results to come back, actually.
If the higher-ups don't believe me and Tamplier, I'm probably going to be banned and won't be able to model for the Hive anymore.

^ That's actually why I get nervous when people say "So good, almost looks ripped!" because my fate is sealed if the Staff decide my models are stolen.

I'd publish a thread showing my response to the accusation, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do that.

Got it, we'll gonna say "It's definetly doesn't look like in game"

No one accused you of your models being rips. We are just being cautious, because we don't want copyrighted materials on the site and we don't want to de-legitimize other users from posting models to the site.
If you and anyone helping you making these models can say without doubt and hesitation that you made all of these models without ripping any bit from the original non-wc3 model then you can stop worrying.

 

[SNIper of DARKness]

I would.

For future reference, I think you'd find this quite useful Hyperbole - Wikipedia , Joke - Wikipedia

Sure, but I would see a rip, but I don't see these here and I am relying on the honesty of HerrDave not to have lied to me. That's it.

 

[HerrDave]

Oh okay, I misread the situation.
I thought someone made an accusation and I was being kept out of the loop for privacy reasons.

On my honor, if I ever upload a ripped model, I will personally delete my Hive Workshop account.

 

[Ragnar9]

Dude Chromatic Saruman is dope! one of the coolest models ive ever seen. Well Done.

 

[General Frank]

Works in-game, performs appropriately and is a good addition to the model section. Excellent work!

 

[Cheshire]

that face is awesome. A cross between Rasputin and Aladeen from the dictator.
