Transparent Model

[Xeryxoz]

Hi, for starters this shall be a very "unusual" yet original request...

This is a type of new never before seen request with a unclear outcome - I need a transparent model with tons of animations put in together - Mele one handed, dual handed, two handed, ranged, magic etc.... however - this transparent model will be used as a base for a project I am doing... (If you wish to know more read the rest...).

On the transparent model I will add various attachments - thus making the transparent model a type of skeleton for various animations, ofcourse you might ask "Why not just do it on the regular models" - the answer is, I'm going to add in body attachments to customize the appearance, some maps have this, however it's just for the head - I'm planning on making it a "full body character customization" giving the ability to pick out not just your hair and face - but your athletic build and gender pick.

Hi, this shall be a rather unusual request, still an useful one for me and the future of map-making

Today I shall be needing atransparent model with a mixture of animations put together - Mele one handed, dual handed, two handed, ranged, magic, mounted, spear attacks and so on...(Basically I need a universal unit)....I will be using the transparent model as a base model for an attachment project (If you wish to know more read the rest...).

The transparent model will serve as an invisible base for the attachments - reason for this is, I wish to make a unit customization with them a lot more "individual" giving a person the ability to add hair attachments, face attachments, even set their body constitution - and with all of the animations put in, there would actually be no need for any other units other than the attachments to form one up....

You mean like Kel'thuzad Ghost or Cenerius by saying transparent.
Is this what do you mean ?

No, he meant a model of an animated soldier whose is invisible, and can be attached body parts such as face, arms, legs, body and stuff. So it could be configurable in-game.

I'm not sure if u understand correctly! But I know two option to do that :

Option n°1 : Use Model Editor to make a unit appear as a ghost by changing the meterial of the textures -Change Transparent texture to the Alpha texture, very easy....
Option n°2 : Use Mdlvis to remove the unused part of the body (E.x : eyes - hands...) where there is no attachment like sword, helmet... to make it appear invisible.

It's a little difficult to do that... but, you can try...

Then the problem will be that body parts will have no connected vertices and it will look like robot.

Alright, to simplify it - yes, I do need an alpha tile texture on it (making the unit completely invisible to the human eye) - however I doubt it would be a problem for the attachments, as a base model already exists

However - I would still need that "universal" animation model, I can put in an alpha texture, yet I would need such a model (along with it being fully compatible with what attachment goes where), and of course a permission to modify it

Vexorian made such a model, search on Google 'Vexorian Dummy Wc3c'

I was curious at first to how a spell casting system would help - however I did find the model to be what I am looking for - as for the spell system, it also is something that might come in handy later, thank you very much.

Oh well, Sounds fun, I intended to do something like this once, But haizz... I hope I could help, But making a big set of animation just a little too much for me at this time.
But I will notify you If I have time for it if its not done yet.
