anarchianbedlam: Its an awesome creative idea. the animations look great, but the texture really needs work.

EDIT: ? texture looks the same as before. a big ol' chocolate ball

EDIT: MUCH better texture, i guess tutorials .... "ROCK". (/plays a rimshot)
anyway, works ingame, looks good, could be useful. creative model. approved

Cool concept, too plain texture and way too symmetric.

 

[Malcous]

Nice idea

too plain texture

Have to agree :/

 

[Marcos DAB]

Great animations. Nice work.

 

[Licheus]

This is really original and creative. Great custom animations as well, a big plus. Also, I actually kind of like the texture, feels much like clay to me. =)

Wow this is really awesome idea and interpretation, the only thing i don't like and would suggest is the texture. Why won't you make it on default(standart) textures? This would save half of space and give it a more warcraft-ish look. 4/5

I couldn't find a suitable texture for the runes since they were supposed to be Team colored. And then a modeler isn't complete if he can't make his own textures (no offence to anyone)

Somewhat feel that was directed at me
Actually if you were working as a modeler in a company you would not do the texture yourself, you would not touch the textures at all, hell you have no say in what your doing anyway let alone what the texture looks like.
If you were a freelance modeler which most of us are, being incapable of doing your own texture does not make you an incomplete modeler. It takes a talent to do decent texture and that is why even if a modeler can do his own texture it would still be in his best interest to find someone who is more adequate.
That being said i would like to say that your model is very good, but your texture is very much lacking, using an ingame texture might have been a wiser choice, but you can add that team colored runes a different way.

Ps.I am not telling you to do anything though, just wanted to speak my mind.

I was actually referring to myself. I can't consider myself a complete modeler if I can't go through all the aspects of making a model.
I still think there is some skill in finding use of existing textures for various creative purposes.
Unfortunately I couldn't really add any shading to the texture since the parts face so many different angles. Simply shading the outside of the sphere would make it look really f****d while rolling.

It looks like a runed cheese for magicians to eat it up with there lumbras bread, nah actually that's a bad-ass model, any plans to use this for a golem's skin?

 

[Thrikodius]

Is the preview not changing for anyone else than me?

 

[CeDiL]

the preview is the same as the first time.

 

[Holy Crusader]

i.... Like it! 5/5

 

[xDeathKnightx]

It is really imaginative, and i guess it could be really useful also. Good job.

 

[Thrikodius]

Snap. I changed it 3 times already :s

 

[PoopBrainEK]
