Simple Model Workshop

[Kaizer]

I'm afraid that's the problem, the fire is not engulfing the blood mage, it is sort of like a barrier, leaving the model untouched.... do you still want me to continue it?

 

[MasterTrainer]

As much as possible, yes.

 

[Kaizer]

itss ugleeehhh

 

[Retera]

Hey, if you want to experiment with the fact that it's behind, try going into the MDL's particle emitter and looking for a field that says "PriorityPlane -1" and delete it, or try replacing it with "SortPrimsFarZ". I'm operating on memory, and might be wrong about those two, but it's something you could try.

I may be working more on stuff later this evening.

Edit: SortPrimsFarZ is what it should be I think I had it wrong.

 

[MasterTrainer]

Okay Zyne it's getting really close; could you make an in-game screenshot for me please?

is this on MatrixEater? because I did the golden shroud in magos..

in-game screenshot

 

[MasterTrainer]

Can you make the flames a little more... pointier?

 

[Retera]

That PriorityPlane thing is just in the MDL text file, I was thinking of it in Notepad or a similar program. The MatrixEater doesn't have any stuff to handle PriorityPlane stuff yet.

Edit: Magos's might have it, though. Either way, it looks like in the in-game screenshot the PriorityPlane stuff was not a problem.

Edit: Magos's does have it (see picture). It's probably easier to fix it in Magos than text editing >.< I taught myself to do stuff without Magos's tool back in the day.

 

[Kaizer]

meeeehh

Edit: umm what does the Primitive Far Z do?

 

[MasterTrainer]

Excellent!

I'll take it!

 

[Kaizer]

There you go

just remove all the warcraft/import whatever that is in the import manager for the .blp

Hey, I just wanna bring this back cause I forgot to say something about this.
The alternate set of animations, the one without the sword, will only have the attack,
walk, and stand animations. And the one with the sword, will have all its animations.
Both of them have morph animations of course to switch from one to another. Just swinging the sword with some little green effect is enough.

Can anybody do animations here?

 

[Kaizer]

I'm afraid not, we cannot animate but Retera can transfer animation ( I'm still learning, if you have a similar animation sequence on warcraft you can tell us

 

[colinjames12]

That's fine, transferring and deleting animations is exactly what I was talking about.

 

[Retera]

All of the .zips attached to my last model post were corrupt somehow!
Attached should be some fixed zips. This includes:
- First draft version of Theron Sentinel Model
- Seth Requests
- Fixed Enemy Selection Circle models

Edit: Also a cube acolyte. It took like a minute.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Edit: I'm thinking of changing the progress table... I'm thinking of changing it to:
Retera and I will each have a list of requests and it will show what we are currently working on.
Therefore it is much easier to understand and update

Alright. My request regarding the "Jungle Troll Batrider Remake" is still floating around. Most recent post is something like this:

Armor (less important)
- Some kind of armor, fitting for an aerial warrior. This unit is meant to be bigger & stronger than the normal Batrider (but still not as armored as, say, a Dwarf; too heavy to fly after all ).
- Perhaps a thick, spiked shoulder-pad with an attached Bandolier? A series of overlapping shoulder-pauldrons that run down the arm? A medium Buckler attached to the non-weapon arm? A leather helmet on the bat/rider? Etc.

Basically just like it says, need to throw some armor/adornments & such on him, to help give him some 'weight' & a bit of a sense of 'might' as compared to the flighty (Orcish Horde-aligned) Troll Batrider. Let me know what your thoughts are.

~

@Retera:
3) Off the top of your head, if I were going to implement a sort of "Swooping Dive"* animation for a spell or attack, is there anything in-game that that can be ripped from? Similar question for a "Bat-Bite" and a "Rider Sword-Slash" animation (don't necessarily throw them on there, more asking if you as a modeller know of existing animations you can grab those from)

//EDIT
*Perhaps stealing the Naga "Submerge" for a "swooping dive"... (then again, dealing with all those snake-like lower-body bones might be problematic...)

To that, I might clarify: leave the weapon on the normal Batrider as it is, since I cannot yet decide. However, him &/or the bat in such a way as to differentiate them from the "normal" (in-game) Troll Batrider.

Biggest & most important avenue for that: Armor for the rider (and/or the Bat).

Second might be different kind of Bat or Rider (TeamColor stripes on wing or fur? Legs? Pointier head? Um?)

~~~

Biggest thing is that this is a different kind of request; not exactly a "do this" kinda of thing, but I'm looking for your input in creation, here. There may not be a "right" answer, necessarily. Use your creativity, give me some alternatives if you please.

 

[RedClaw]

[RedClaw]

Edit: hey, do I use the paladin model as a base or what?

Yes base model is paladin hero.

 

[huy60vn]

About your first request, are you requesting to recreate those?

Yes, they are.

 

[Kaizer]

1st of all, why don't you just download them? you know the author and have pictures 2nd, that's basically falls into the category of skinning

 

[huy60vn]

But he isn't online now, and all of his models is deleted, I just really need them so I need a modeller can do this.
His name is hadhafang.

 

[Kaizer]

hmm, yeah, I checked his profile and his last activity was last year, do you have a map of his project?

 

[huy60vn]

No, both I don't know where to download

 

[Kaizer]

sorry bro, but I'm not good at skinning, I'll wait for Retera's answer

EDIT: Jaina already has a death animation so just removed her hero glow

Picture

The justicar kind of armor for tank human paladin with 2 weapons,1 small hammer and 1 Shield
The Lawbringer for holy human paladin with 1 small hammer and 1 Book
The Judgement for Retribution human paladin with 1 large hammer

[RedClaw]

sorry bro, but I'm not good at skinning, I'll wait for Retera's answer

EDIT: Jaina already has a death animation so just removed her hero glow



have you try searching for wow ripped models?

I don't want wow rips in my map

 

[MasterTrainer]

Can I request a dragon made of pure fire like in this image:

Show

 

[huy60vn]

Oh, sorry I mean about decay bone and decay fresh.
So sorry.

 

[MasterTrainer]

@Zyne or @Retera what do you think about my request?

 

[Kaizer]

I don't want wow rips in my map

have you try searching on xgm? because I found this, I can replace the hammer and make it more warcraftish and put on a helmet

Can I request a dragon made of pure fire like in this image:

Show

way too hard for me, I'll try searching

Oh, sorry I mean about decay bone and decay fresh.
So sorry.

I don't do animation but I'll try

 

[MasterTrainer]

@Zyne it doesn't need to be an exact replica, imagine Phoenix model but more dragon-like, and with way more fire.

 

[BunnyAng]

I don't do animation but I'll try

You just need to replace the dissipation with the decay only.

 

[Kaizer]

@Zyne it doesn't need to be an exact replica, imagine Phoenix model but more dragon-like, and with way more fire.

exactly way too hard

You just need to replace the dissipation with the decay only.

yes, but then I have to put a bone and slowly animate it to disappear

 

[MasterTrainer]

Okay how about you elongate the Phoenix's neck, enlarge the head a little, stretch the body to the tail to form an elongated phoenix, stretch and enlarge the wings, cover it with fire, if possible add a glow, then I'll take that.

Unless Retera does what I actually want, but until then stick to the above statement.

 

[Kaizer]

now that you said it, there is a fire dragon missile here on hive, I can try to replace the head of the phoenix with it

 

[MasterTrainer]

Thanks Zyne =D

 

[colinjames12]

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/2340860-post362.html

Can you add this to my requests, Zyne? This is the model that I really need right now. I felt that it was skipped or something.

 

[Kaizer]

sorry bro, but the ones on the first page are the ones that have been accepted and currently being worked on

I think I should put a list of pending requests

 

[BunnyAng]

exactly way too hard



yes, but then I have to put a bone and slowly animate it to disappear

Oh yeah i forgot that you can't do animations yet lol.

I kinda like the enlonged phoenix request since phoenix around here are kinda rare.

 

[Razer!X]

Hey ! Can I request a dreadlord with a satyr head with Illidan's wings on his back ??? I would be grateful if you could do it for me. Even though I can barely be online on the Hive I would try to see your progress and also thank you for your time.

 

[Kyrbi0]

~Bump~

 

[El'Dragon]

nice work, the theron looks good, but he is too thin make his waist big like it should be ;D, and can you change the helmet to this ?:

 

[MasterTrainer]

Hey Zyne, for my clarification you are doing my request right?

 

[El'Dragon]

oh and last thin i forgot: make the places where skin is visible and make them bigger just a bit smaller than the armor, and change the attack animation to less back-handing, similar to the ghoul attack but standing straight, also make hands bit bigger, NOT too huge

NOTE: the helmet has no holes for EYES
