Pyritie: You might want to widen his waist a bit because at the moment he looks very effeminate. You should also fix the alpha on his cape, it's a bit sloppy. His cape and dangly bit in the front also look very stiff.

Pyritie: The normals on the cape are messed up. Make sure those vertices are welded!

Filesize is friggin ridiculous for the model and his cape is as stiff as a sheet of metal.... other than that, i like the model it looks good

 

[D a w n]

why does it need a custom texture?

Well, the file is big because it comes with the portrait. Loading only the model without portrait, makes it weight just 100kb. I am also working to find how to animate the cape.

why does it need a custom texture?

Because the default priest texture dont fits with the theme.

 

[Callahan]

Crossbow in space?

 

[Devine]

Crossbow in space?

I sence a new muppetshow sketch.

 

[Ham Ham]

Etheral Crossbow!
It donf fire normal arrows, but etheral arrows.

Also, wich is the diference betwen this and the Starcraft Marines? They fire machineguns in the space and nobody tells shit about it.

 

[Callahan]

Sure the question is why crossbow if you have machine gun or plasma lazor?

 

[Ham Ham]

Because a machinegun dont fits well with an elf. Its too way "agressive".
They are suposed to use some magic thing.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Not really, crossbow also seem too cumbersome.

Here you see that space elves can have guns too http://www.solegends.com/citcat88/4301eldar-01.jpg

 

[Ham Ham]

But my space elves are supposed to use their magic and wisdom to pwn the enemy strenght.

Violence must be responded with magic, not with more violence.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Magic is violence. But I don't get it why then they use so cumbersome weapons.

 

[Justify]

Just because you found a picture of some elves with guns it doesn't mean that it's normal. Most of the elves have used weapons like swords, (cross-)bows and magic. Elves are a fast and agile race, modern (heavy) weapons just don't fit^^
I like this model, although the idea itself fits as less as the plasma-gun-ownage thingy :O

 

[Krarnal]

This seems like it could be useable for other things than space. A magic firing crossbow CAN be used as space thingy but also in normal warcraft/low technology maps. But its cool enough

*sigh* that because in every lore they are in MEDIEVAL environment. Humans don't have machine guns either in a lore containing elves...

 

[Malcous]

looks cool 4/5

 

[FrIkY]

It doesn't really look spaceish to me. :/

 

[Overlord DM]

Like it ^^ 4/5

 

[Valo]

[Mamma_Pappa]

Space Elf?
-Quack

 

[Ham Ham]

But they always have giant trebuchets, cannons, great battering rams, or things like that.

 

[Falconeye]

Well put Mechanical, because to be truthful I've never seen elves in a futuristic movie, it just doesn't seem to fit.

oh great so it's ethereal and cannot hurt people Think what you say

ONTOPIC: I think that the first thing you need to do is to change his internal name from "priest" to whatever you're callin' him
dunno what else =/

Yes, I forgot to modify his internal name.

Did you ever played Heretic? I had an etheral crossbow too.

 

[TaKky]

Personally, I find it useful. For instance, long-range sniper, fires lightning/magic particles. Then the cumbersome part makes sense as to the channeling medium being reasonabling close in equivalence to the output result. C'mon people, just because its not what YOU need doesn't mean no one else will put it to good use.

Rating: Useful

 

[Rizz_Boomer]

i agree that a crossbow is a fitting weapon, but i would use some other
texture. just like the wooky crossbow from starwars...
i guess its a good model, but if you have problems with animating something
then just erase it and use something else instead like a Backpack
with etheral generators for the crossbow (doesnt have to be a big backpack).

 

[TheGodOfIron]

Priest, not an appropriate name eh?

 

[Zaljinzoo]

this could be used for like a night elf map as a ranged watcher? sa like you're making a barrow deeps map?

 

[raphamaster]

Another good work Ham,wen u finish then i promise u ,i make a melle Space Warcraft!

 

[Kalashnikov]

Cool,Man,I Like It But...Y'Know...Elves With Guns Aren't Exactly The Best Combination =/ Though i Understand What You Had In Mind When You Did This: "If Humans Have Marines And Stuff And Orcs Have A Lot Of Space Orcs,Why Not Futuristic Elves Too?"

P.S.: So Eoo Marcos,O Victor,Eae?Blzz? =]

 

[Homor]

Space Elf?

isn't that just a Vulcan?

 

[NhazUl]

Put Marine armor on him, add some glow and particles on the spell animation and remove the book thingy on his thigh. Or change it to something hi-tech.

 

[Ham Ham]

Hmm.. maybe some Marine shoulders, but not a whole marine armor.

 

[Rizz_Boomer]

HELL NOO!
Its fine as it is just the crossbow makes it look like
medival elf. The armor is pretty neutral and fits
medieval AND futuristik.

 

[Ham Ham]

Best if in next version I remove his cape one and for all because I have no fucking Idea of how to fix it and add another kind of acessory.

 

[Kyrbi0]

That's kinda neat.
