Sludge Monster Model/Skin

[Kam]

I'm looking for a more detailed model replacement or a skin for the vanilla sludge monster. It seems to be an underutilized model.

That's a good find but it's not as menacing as I would like.

You have any concept of how it would look like? This would be very fun to model, actually.

Yes! It should fit in with this group: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin_data/kzqeri/Monster.jpg

It's a ranged siege unit that infects enemy buildings.

Are Sludge animations satisfactory? If not, what animation set would you suggest? I can make a mesh and map it to in game textures, but then I'll need to map it to wc3 animations.

I think they are good. I'm not sure what other unit would have the fluid blob like animations.

Okay, so my idea is this:
1) I Make a somewhat smoother mesh for it
2) Make the outer mesh translucent
3) Add some stuff inside of it that's seen through the transculent mesh
4) Rig it to Sludge Animations

Sounds good!

The glowing section of the Vizier model might be good to see through the mesh.

I think Heinvers may also be working on a skin - you might message him.

Well, I kinda religiously use in game textures, so I don't really care about that. But if he makes a really really good skin that the model doesn't do it justice, I will consider wrapping a new model to it.

What vizier model?

In game the spines glow.

Oh yeah, that's a cool idea.
