Treasure Guardian

[Moderator]

Frankster :
Model works in-game and in the editor and performs very well.
very nice implementation of texture, animations and effects.
Good work.

(Rating will be up as soon as the contest is over)

cool

 

[PoopBrainEK]

cool concept

 

[rcshaggy]

I love the concept as well, and I really like the whole objects being transformed into monsters.

 

[Gen Bloodhorn]

spectacular!

 

[Alfagar]

This is!:

[fakedrake]

Very creative!

Wrong textures link, please fix it !
I must admit that your concept is good and the performing is very well done but:
- You waste too much poly on :
+ The shield
+ There ruby
+ He dont need 5 fingers, just a glove hand 'll save your poly.
And some suggest for you:
- You can add some attack or spell animation that make him lengthen his arm like rubber, because he not a human, just a mess of gold so it can make some personality for an unhuman being.
- You can add some Gold textures animation when he in human mode, and deactive it when he turn into treasure mode

very creative..

Wrong textures link, please fix it ! hum, i'll take a look at that
I must admit that your concept is good and the performing is very well done but:
- You waste too much poly on :
+ The shield yeah, probably right, i had other plans for it
+ There ruby it isn't that high poly :\ it requires an inner shell for the teamcolor and an outer shell for the bright corners
+ He dont need 5 fingers, just a glove hand 'll save your poly. i found it easier to model a glove than to make or find a proper texture of a glove
And some suggest for you:
- You can add some attack or spell animation that make him lengthen his arm like rubber, because he not a human, just a mess of gold so it can make some personality for an unhuman being. i thought about it, but i couldn't think of anything interesting enough to do with it. he streches a bit in some animations, but i couldn't exagerate it or the model would be all over the place.
- You can add some Gold textures animation when he in human mode, and deactive it when he turn into treasure mode i'm sorry i don't understand what you mean with this :\

my responses are underlined

EDIT: about the textures, they're set to the default imported file path (war3mapImported\goldpile.blp), to see them in magos' create a folder named war3mapImported and move the textures into it, to use the model ingame just import everything and keep the default path

@ diosilva: fixing the textures is realy easy, simply update the model and on the second page (before re-upload is complete) don't click on any of the tabs. Leave them empty! This will indicate that the model uses only ingame skins.

judash meant to say to make a texture animation that would move the gold texture around... but i dunno how well that would do.. since i think the gold is taken from the item chest texture, right?

 

[Sin'dorei300]

I like the idea, and the model is enough good! Gj!

actually it uses a custom texture. i don't know if i know how to do that texture animation thing

 

[judash137]

If we paired in a team, your model 'll be better. But in fact i alway like soloist.
For textures animation, you can see how effect it is in this pic:

Pic

Without it, model in the pic is just all black textures .

 

[diosilva16]

i've updated the model with the changes requested by Frankster, hopefully this will get it approved in time for the contest
i've made a custom footprint using particle emitters, i hope it counts as footprints

If we paired in a team, your model 'll be better. But in fact i alway like soloist.

thanks for the offer, but i don't think that teaming up in the last 4 hour stretch of the contest makes much sense

 

[boomwolf]

Incredible model, I love it!

only issue I see it the file-size, other then that its perfect in my eyes.

A possible addition though is to make a slow crawl-like move animation for the non-morphed version, making i look like it is creeping around.

 

[Misha]

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/3d-modeling-tutorials-282/animated-textures-tutorial-158421/ this is the animated and moving texture tutorial if you're interested, mate

once you get into it (and make a few mistakes) you'll find it easy-ish

i like that animation idea, i'm kind of tired of this model though, so i don't think i'll work on it any more for the time being

about filesize...yeah, it's a contest submission, so i tried to make it look good. the gold textures can be reduced in definition even further with little impact ingame, and the grayscale additive shiny texture isn't exactly necessary. it's trivial to do these changes and i can do it by request, if anyone is interested

thanks, that'll come in handy

 

[EloTheMan]

Now even Goblins will find it worth using summonings.

 

[Final-Burn]

Just Burn down the Treasure Guardian...
Great Model Though ^^, 5/5

 

[godofruin]

very original concept to me, never seen that before 5/5

 

[Kingluis]

Very good imagination!!! awesome!!!! 5/5

 

[xryder]

Nice!

Nice it will come in handy for my map

 

[JollyD]

nice one!

 

[boomwolf]

On another note, this adds a brand new dimension at the "kill things and take their stuff" line of work...

 

[eubz]

See, the model is really awesome.

 

[diosilva16]

updated

 

[judash137]

- Still waste too much poly as i mention before. (Maybe 200 poly wasted)
- For the glove textures problem, actually you can do whatever you want with wrapping skill even without a real glove textures, glove hands 'll save your poly alot.
- There diamond mesh dont need to be duplicate to use Team Color and glow effect, just pick another textures for them and save your poly again.
- BTW Foot print is helping you in melee game play, allowing you to track enemy, but particale emitter cant do that well, think again for wise option.

 

[diosilva16]

the particle emitter is static and has a long lifespan, it leaves a golden trail that is actually more helpful and trackable than the default footprints. besites, this model fits better in an rpg map, i don't see it making much sense in a melee game

as for extra polygons, eh, i don't think they make that much difference either in filesize or ressource draining, i'd say the particle emmiters, for example, are much more taxing in graphical resources, but i figure there shouldn't be more than one instance of this model on one screen, so i went to some lenghts to give him a nice shiny glitter

for the glove, i also wanted it to have some detail so it could have an open hand, relaxed version when it's standing static, and a version grasping the sword when it's animated

 

[judash137]

There is many kind of glove hand: two finger or even three finger and they all can close to hold sword and open to relax aswell.
BTW one more custom textures just for "additive" textures is a waste too.

 

[diosilva16]

i think it looks much better with it, but i agree that it might make the model a bit to heavy for some maps. it's a quick fix and i've already volunteered to do it for anyone who is interested in using this in an already overloaded map, here's the post:

perhaps i'll do a lower filesize version and upload it as a portrait.

stop trying to manipulate the guy, Judash
i don't think all-fingers-together gloves would be good on this model

 

[diosilva16]

i don't mind the discussion, judash137 made some good points, but seems a bit obsessed with low filesize. i can understand that, but for a contest submission i think i can afford to spend some extra polies

 

[Misha]

your's not bad, some models here have over 2000 polys

 

[Cakedog345]

Nice idea! Good job!

 

[flyfly26]

Cool Sword.

 

[Final-Burn]

lUlS I just looked at it again, sword ain't even, one side is more smaller then other, but overall this is a fantastic idea model +REP BABY +REP

 

[Steelb_l_ade]

Hey, Great model, except the Omnilight seems to have strange effects on a map tested it on. It made the entire map tinted yellow!

Other omnilights present on the map included the "tiny Torch" model from here and the standard torch doodad.

Maybe a clash?

 

[diosilva16]

hum, 'll have to test that, i've had very little time lately

 

[InfernalTater]

Ok, this is just too god damned awesome! 5/5, definitely should get D.C.

 

[Ihatefish]

Its real cool

 

[Zuhtor]

This is an amazing model, i was looking for something for a goblin banker to summon, this is perfect.

 

[759tricker]

Your Cool Men, 100000000000000000/5 ( i can't vote, co'z im not a member on 10 days )
i will add this on my map swimming pool TD.. i hope you will play it.

 

[Maximum_Evil]

wow this is a very neat and creative idea.

also very good executed

 

[Lone Adventurer]

5/5 i will use it in my map gj a like things very hard

 

[BrothForMyPeople]

Very original idea and nice execution. Five stars.
