Taylor's Models Place

[Taylor Mouse]

As from now I'll drop everything in here, easier for me

So the first one you all know ofcourse :

Diablo 3 - Monk and the progress can be followed in this thread.
and some additional images can be found in my album

Thnx for everything on this one


and the next one will be a Nâzgul from Lord of the Rings


first WIP :

Some C&C plz


T.

 

[Carrigage]

The second one reminds me more of the hero with the soulstone in his forehead from Diablo 2, the guy that becomes diablo.

Both are very nice though, Monk model doesn't quite fit into wc3, but its very nice nonetheless, and if you were to supply us with some more high-quality Diablo 3 models, we'd love to see them in upcomming maps I'm sure.


Edit: Well he sorta fits in, but he's very slim and none-warcraft themed

 

[TheHunterKiller]

The monk is really awesome, it seriously needs DC <.<.
The second one looks promising and useful.

 

[syltman]

The new model looks promising but what happened to the one you did before the monk ?

 

[Taylor Mouse]

You mean the golems or the tauren death knight ?

[syltman]

T.

No not those, the beast model

edit: The Redknuckle Hound

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Ha, yes but that was more of a high model practice, which I was gonna work out once I got Mudbox...
maybe I'll do that for WC3 also as my first critter model or something

T.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

I forgot to add this one ofcourse

Update on the model texture :

some C&C please so I can start the animation

by the way, need some ideas on the team color, or should this be a hero unit ?

T.

 

[Thyrael]

I really like the shape and texture of the sword. But in my opinion the highlights on the armour(hands, feets) are to bright. Nâzguls are creatures of darkness, so they should look as dark and cruel as possible. The cloak is to bright as well. Nevertheless nice model and texture, but way too bright.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Thnx, indeed it is very bright, but I think I rendered it with 4 lights or so to actually see the shape of the texture, maybe I'll check that and do the same render without the lights, they they kinda give a miss image

T.

 

[Ghost765]

pretty cool, although i imagined the ring wraiths on having a hood instead of a cowl.
his cloak/robe needs to be darker as mentioned, everything else is fine.
Add hero glow, if people dont want it, it's easy to remove.

some epic death animation would be required for this D:

T.

I think this model is better off without team color and stuff but that's maybe just me

 

[Taylor Mouse]

I'll add a teamglow as Ghost said, and you can then take away the glow if you want, so everyone is happy

T.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Busy with the animation of my Nâzgul

done already

Stand 1 ( breathing )
Stand 2 ( holds sword infront of his face, like a greating )
Stand 3 ( puts the sword down and looks around )
Attack 1 ( stab )
Attack 2 ( Swing )
Walk
Stand Ready
Spell ( not too happy with this one, maybe I'll change it )

TODO
looking for a cool death animation
decay flesh
decay bone
...

T.

 

[Devine]

Make him die somewhat like the deathlord dies. That'd be pretty cool.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Mmm, need to check that !

T.

 

[Bloody_Turds]

for team color, there could be a dark layer of team color, for the entire robe would look nice
and maybe tc glowing eyes XD

 

[Taylor Mouse]

HAAAAAAA he is finaly here...

NEXt MODEL

Ok, her it is, it will be BROLL BEARMANTLE from the comic, he will be starring also in the next WoW book, called
"World Of Warcraft - Stormrage" by Richard A. Knaak





First Wip :

VERY EARLY STAGE but some C&C plz

T.

 

[Mulgrim]

looking good so far, and the crest thing?

and you will need more images.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

It is about 30 min work I did, so the crest, do not worry, everything will be there

T.

 

[Mulgrim]

cool, cool, i'm not a map maker much, i only make models so i just wonder about that.

 

[chilla_killa]

Can I request something here from you?
I just need some more special animations for your Max.D3Monk.
I need a realistic jump animation and a crouch animation for a 2D-like map like Tekken.
If you don't have time or don't want to make it, I don't care, but it would be great if you did it.

Update on the texture

C&C plz

T.

 

[Mulgrim]

whew, nice but you still need to weld a few points to make it more round

 

[Jacky The turtle]

aswome bhut can you find a tut for how draw wood ?

 

[chilla_killa]

don't request here, >.

me watches so keep it private.

Oh sorry, didn't know that.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

aswome bhut can you find a tut for how draw wood ?

Why, you don't like my wood

Anyway, the texture is about 1200x800, so not realy representative for WC3, when I resize it to, I don't know yet ( 256x64 or 128x128 ), most of the detail will be gone anyway...


T.

 

[D a w n]

use 256x256 for the texture as it is the standard wc3 texture size for units
oh and seems fine so far

 

[Taylor Mouse]

I know, but for the weapon I prefer to have a seperate file, very small one, so you can get it out of the model and attach/use it with other models.

[Taylor Mouse]

Update

As requested

an update

C&C plz

btw, this is already with the 256x256x32 texture

T.

 

[syltman]

damn that's looking sweet.

 

[chilla_killa]

Nice one!

 

[Evil Devil]

taylor how about doing a crazy spiked evil robot maschine? ;D

 

[Taylor Mouse]

update broll mesh

Here is the first try for Broll, the overall mesh

the model is about 500 polys ( exl the weapon )


C&C plz

T.

 

[A.R.]

Looks pretty good so far, I'd say his shoulders may be a bit too small, his knees are too narrow and I'd recommend turning the edges of the faces on his crotch so it's |\|/| not |/|\|

 

[Taylor Mouse]

The crotch is done on purpose like that, you'll see that later why

And yeah, now I enlarged the shoulder pads somewhat and it look more Broll'ish



T.

{EDIT}
Added some more "Broll" stuff

C&C plz so I can start the texture

Polys 850 ( with the staff )

T.

 

[chilla_killa]

Reminds me of Malfurion.
But looks awesome, Can't wait to see the texture.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

thnx guys, started with the texture.... soon some screens

T.

 

[Evil Devil]
