Pyritie: Cool effect, but it's not very visible ingame.

I would like some feedback for my first posted model.

The idea is good, we didn't have one of these here before. But you should make it turn around while standing, or whatever it should do while standing, because if not, they will look more like attachments than a buff.

 

[Fear_the_Night]

Well, for the footmen it is attached to his chest. It is an attachment like all buffs. Also, have you ever seen a sticking sword moving continuously? (Rhetorical question don't answer it unless you don't know what it means..Also, don't define it then answer it.)


I also recommend animation freezing the targeted unit and using it as a stun buff.

really nice.
But I have some suggestions:
-some sounds for appearing and disappearing of the swords
-some particles when the hit the target and maybe even a ribbon effect attached to each of them
I also think that they hit the target to slow which does not look so powerful

 

[Fear_the_Night]

I tried to make it look cina looking. But, As I look at it It does need some sounds which I will add. I will add a ribbon effect. I have been having troubles with Particles. And I will make the swords impact faster and I just relized the swords need a deeper impact. And I got a good PM to vary the sword heights and angles alot more. I will have an update soon.

It sounds funny for it to be called a "buff". I know that's what it is called in the game, but it's still funny. Also, cool model.

swords, wich stabbing a unit sounds less
like a buff. make 3 versions:
1. Swords spinning around their target. Flying above
the target with Blades pointing toward the unit.
(Could be a Debuff of some threatining-spell)
2. Swords spinning again. Same hight as units attachment-
point and blades turned away from target
(Buff for sworddance or counter attack)
3. this "poking-buff" for a mass attack or something.


Just suggestions.

very nice! i like it

I'd go with Rizzboomer's idea, it would be a cool fun and useful buff effect model if there was one, currently it is ok. 3.5/5 from me.

try one where the swords are pointing outwards like a shield. for a good lightning shield or immolation ability.

 

[Trillium]

nice one, but make a better screenshot. +rep for an interesting idea

 

[Ardnived]

Oooh nice model, Wolfe and I should see if we can use this in our RPG

 

[Fear_the_Night]

I see what you meant for spinning around. I am making more of a white ghost swords (for of them) like fables and making them spin like lightning shield buff.

after all is this a 'Sword dance'? or 'Stabbing Swords'?
cuz if it is meant to be a sword dance, i recomment more swords and ribbon effects attached to them, turning around the target and poking him with blood effects

its a good model and a good idea but i see one thing wrong with it
Animation
>i think you should make more animations, like maybe an animation where all 5 swords spin around the target and all stab at the target piercing right through them.
>And the stand animation, maybe you should change that so the swords are spinning or somthing?
>And maybe a attack slam animation, where they all do the blademaster type slam effect
But overall good work i like it 4/5(because of animations)
