Simple Model Request: Shaman

[Hardtime]

Can someone please make a Shaman with Hero Glow, Dissipate Animations, with Thrall's head, the Doomhammer, and the Spirit Breaker's shoulder pads? +rep

 

[PlankingWolf]

That would look pretty cool.
This is a useless comment, but it's good for bumping the thread!

 

[Hardtime]

Exactly yet no one here bothered to make a Thrall Cata model. Bump

 

[Chen]

Ask Forsaken.

 

[Hardtime]

I know I have that model but it just doesnt have the classic Warcraft III feel. It's different.

 

[Hardtime]

Bump

[Hardtime]

Sorry I have that one already. Im looking for the Cata version.

 

[PlankingWolf]

Nobody seems to be responding, but I think I may be of assistance.
Shaman
It isn't really what you're looking for, but it kinda looks like what you're looking for.
Maybe someone can edit it a bit.
Either way, why hasn't anybody taken on this request yet?

 

[Hardtime]

Cuz maybe its too challenging? I think it involves geomerging or something

 

[UgoUgo]

Because creating a whole new model is easier than editing an existing wc3 model and hoping it would perform flawlessly.

But then, creating a model itself is not easy, especially when you're the kind of guy that set a very high bar on quality.

As you set the bar higher each time, you start to wonder why would you ever want to help others for free since it takes quite amount of effort.

Thus, why most of the modelers would only do freelance or paid works.

At least, that's my thought.

 

[Hardtime]

Exactly. Nothing's free anymore. None of the great modelers take requests and a lot of them are inactive nowadays.

 

[Hardtime]

Bump

 

[Wandering Soul]

Let me give it a go...

 

[Hardtime]

If you do it I love you. Jk. I'll give you +Rep

 

[Chen]

Wandering Soul is a kind person, he answers many model requests. Anyways, I need it too, But it should have a hood and a necklace similar to what he wear in WoW. And don't include the Spirit walker shoulderpad. Sorry if it disturbes you.

 

[Wandering Soul]

Quick Preview

@ Hardtime;
Here's a quick preview of the model you requested (without the Spirit Walker/Breaker shoulder pads)...

Is this close to what you are looking for...? And if there's anything else you want to add, please do let me know...

@ Chenralstrasz;
I can make a version 2 matching as close to WoW version of Shaman Thrall...

 

[Chen]

I hate this post

Anyways, thanks!

 

[Hardtime]

You mean like the Blademaster's prayer beads and the Far Seer's hood?

 

[Hardtime]

Bump

 

[Chen]

Why did you bumped this thread? Wandering Soul is already making it.

 

[Hardtime]

Dunno. Just felt like it

 

[andreariona]

quite simple geomerge request.
is this geomerge request is done already or someone still working on this? I could give it a try.

edit:
ok, this is a quick geomerge I've done.
I somehow couldn't find spirit breaker mesh on mpq browser. is this fit in your need?

 

[Hardtime]

Can you add the Blademaster's prayer beeds too? and add anything else you feel that'll look good

 

[andreariona]

sure, like this one? or you would like to made it's beard black to fit in his hair color?

 

[Hardtime]

No I meant the prayer beads. Make him look like this:

 

[andreariona]

ah, sorry missread it.

I could add beads but somehow I can't made it viewed in all direction since it's originally only a plane (only two-sided but it looks weird). this is the geomerge work without the beads, added dissipate animation as well. I moved it's hammer into his left hand since his shaman animation attack animation is using his left hand instead of right one.

 

[Hardtime]

Thanks so much but what else do you think could fit the model?
Btw do you have a portrait for it?

 

[andreariona]

another additional to geomerge? hmm not really sure, since I seen a small detail won't been really seen in-game, except if you made a cinematic map that often has close-up cam pan on it.
I've addeded a camera potrait on it btw, but if you want a seperate talking potrait I could try to made one, which is mean another size to spend on the map.

 

[Hardtime]

Hmm.. Maybe just add a hood to Thrall's portrait?

 

[andreariona]

thrall potrait has it's black armor putted on actually, I could repleace it with a shaman body if you want. so the talking potrait geomerge would be: farseer's hood, thrall head and shaman body.

 

[Hardtime]

Yeah it could work. Thanks btw

 

[andreariona]

okay, finished the model's talking potrait.
also, you're welcome.

 

[Hardtime]

Thank you so much! God I love it! Where did you learn how to geomerge? What programs do you use?

 

[andreariona]

glad you lovin' it. did I work too fast? lol
I learned geomerge back in around 2010 actually, you could geomerging models by using Mdlvis, you need to edit and re-attach each vertex on animated models though.

 

[Hardtime]

Why dont you upload a few of your models then? You're a great modeler. The Hive could use a lot of people like you after a lot of great modelers went missing or are retired.

 

[andreariona]

well actually what I've done is more likely called geomerging instead of modelling. since I interpret actual modelling as something to be done from scratch (both model mesh and texture), while geomerging is create a model from already existing mesh into a new one (with some vertex edit and a little Re-UV work to fit in the new mesh). I was retired actually, but back again december last year.

 

[Hardtime]

How do you work so fast?

 

[andreariona]

as people say, practices makes perfect.
beside I do geomerge on most of the mesh materials I'm using on my projects, tho it might not really noticable except if I've shown after and before.

 

[Hardtime]

So what are your projects then?

 

[Chen]

I edited the hammer and some parts, can you provide a screenshot?

EDIT: Screenshot added, thanks Heinvers
