DonDustin: really awesome. I would give this model a 5/5, but the attack & the spell are both a bit too simple to me and under your capabilities.
Improve them and I will change my rating

I <B it I especially like the death anims

 

[alexis]

Great done well!
Anything has to say!
It is for what I waited for 1 year

 

[Hawkwing]

Impressive. It looks very nice.

 

[Fingolfin]

Here's the model ingame together with a very deliberate sneak peak of the map.

Be aware, for some reason it appears to load very slowly.

 

[PROXY]

boah, that map looks superb nice

 

[Craka_J]

Looks great! Thought it was a rip at first.

Give us rest of the models to! (Ground textures to )

Great model to!

 

[Bernkastel]

I'm truly impressed :O This is awesome give us your other SC2 models ^^

 

[Fingolfin]

I will post them all as soon as i get their death animations ready.
Apart from the things seen in the pictures, i also have a few other textured models, including the barracks, and this awesome supply depot:

[Bernkastel]

Humh.. Niec. Was depot the thing that went down, and it could be crossed? (Hard to remember, didnt really play terrans )

 

[Fingolfin]

That is correct.
Mine has a "stand alternate" anim set, but somehow, the building plays the "birth" animation everytime i change stance, since the raven form spell changes the unit type into a new one, creating a new unit, thus playing it's birth animation. Really annoying.

 

[Bernkastel]

Too bad that it's bugging. But anyways great job with all your models ^^

 

[Misha]

Looks great! Thought it was a rip at first.

isn't this still a rip?

EDIT: Okay.. it isn't.. i checked..
dunno about the texture..

 

[LumZor]

Looks Cool

 

[Fingolfin]

@Misha: Always so sceptical!
Look at the stalker model from any starcraft screenshots, then look at this. There is a significant difference. Also, it uses several textures and particles and objects - not to mention animations! - that couldn't possibly have been ripped due to the engine differences.

EDIT: @Misha #2: lol, the texture layout is so messy, it is bound to be my work.
But seriously, due to how light is handled in the SC2 engine, the static map (unshaded) would not have that much directional lighting incorporated into it. On the legs and the "gun" plate, you can see that i have worked to create the illusion of directional light (and specular mapping) by adding a fake gloss to it.
the reason it resembles so well is because it is made through studying pictures of the original model and using the eyedropper tool to recover the right colors.

 

[Sorceress]

This in my eyes should be accepted. We could use some "fromfuture" models and this could also work in horror games and other cool maps. Nice!

 

[Kam]

You came from nowhere with this model and you have a SC2 map as well that looks great.

Really awesome. =)

 

[Fingolfin]

Well.. i dunno about nowhere, you can check out my resource page if you want to see the rest.

Thanks anyways

[Fingolfin]

Thanks.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

A perfect SC2 replica for WC3

 

[varsaigen]

Great model! I've been waiting to see one of such quality for some time now.

There are request threads for such things. Please don't hijack other peoples threads for your requests.

 

[Fingolfin]

I completely agree with varsaigen.

First of all, all you did in that screen was to rip a bunch of SC2 models and place them in a blank map, i see no potential whatsoever in that project.
Second, if you request this:

Models Spells Triggers Terrain EtC

Then what's left for you to do?
A monkey could do the object editor work.

Don't go request entire projects from people when you don't have a profession of your own.

 

[Dratz]

<offtopic> LOL at the dude requesting another person to realize his entire project xD </offtopic> ( end of offtopic )


Now the model.. well.. Simply awesome, it has the futuristic SC2-ish spirit. The textures... well.. Simply awesome as well

[x.Zeus]

btw... nice convertation sc2 models to wc3... you not so lazy)

 

[peachypenguin]

"I can't believe it's not ripped!"

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

Those of you who dont believe, Fingolfin made his Battlecruiser before beta was even out, so he can do the meshes quite accurately. Then he probably saw what the Stalker texture looks like and he made his own based on it. It's easier when you see how something looks than if you have to think how it should look.

Good job on the model, you showed me what you did. Too bad you didnt do the BCruiser on time and I had to use the real one. Speaking of which if you want to, ask varsaigen to continue working on the effects if you still need them. I'll be busy and make a BIG break from THW anyway

 

[matyko]

I seriously thought it was riped. Man, you are GOOD!

 

[varsaigen]

I wonder how many people think the STarcraft I models were ripped from STarcraft I and Brrodwar..... XD

Personally, I do not see how it looks ripped, but I notice the near-perfect details that have made this model so close to Blizzard's that it stands out in a crowd of other starcraft models. :3

 

[RiotZ]

@Versaigen: This would have been ripped from the Sc2 archive... Starcraft 1 is 2 Dimensional. It doesn't even have models they are images.

I am aware that Starcraft I is 2D, thus I find the concept of people thinking models are ripped from it is amuzing. And, with Starcraft II, there are differences in the mesh that scream 'not ripped'.

 

[DarkslayerK9]

Awsome Model 5/5 ^_^

 

[Zekter]

5/5

it looks cool

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

It's weird how THW doesnt allow C&P/rips and yet the SC1 Battlecruiser texture is just screenshot it's not even a texture, just a pic of the unit.
