A Naga Spawning Grounds with the Dark Portal texture is out. I think 67chrome's ground texture would actually fit nicely.

Hmm...I really suggest you make the night elf buildings, using the hunter's hall texture, we really need it.

 

[Vinz]

Yup, many interesting stuff could come from models such as the Scout Tower.

or maybe he could just add a more night elven theme to his gilnean buildings like maybe adding some trees or implementing the Hunter's hall texture to it, just like what you did with sinisterx's buildings

 

[Ujimasa Hojo]

The "Gilnean" set is actually using Night Elf textures. The only difference is that the roofs uses the Barrow Dens texture instead of the Hunter's Hall.

 

[bhusta]

this skins still exist?

just go to the contest.

It only uses the Barrow Den textures though :C, the gilnean set needs a bit more trees and done it's a freaking western alliance set

That's good
Kinda of demoniac. If may I suggest you, put Naga textures and Draenei's roofs textures in SinisterX's Blood Elves buildings. It would be nice, I guess.

Yeah right, thanks for listening to mah suggestion. It will be another set of great models!

 

[The_Legion]

Any news ?

 

[Ujimasa Hojo]

Any news ?

I'm doing Chenralstrasz's suggestion of using the Dark Portal texture on a variety of models. As for which buildings I'm reskinning, I'm kinda basing it slightly on 67chrome's Illidari techtree. Basically, each race gets their own building.

So far the following are done:

• Altar - A reskinned version of the Altar of the Depths. Instead of the Naga statue, there is a "hologram" of Illidan.
• Arcane Sanctum - Blood Elf building
• Black Temple (Town Hall) - A reskinned version of the Necropolis BETA (the one with the "pool").
• Orc Barracks - Orc (and maybe the Broken Draenei)
• Spawning Grounds - Naga building

All of the buildings have a modified Orc Birth style.

Different, but sounds pretty cool. Definitely better than cramming 2-3 races' structures into one 'building'. Looking forward to it.

 

[The_Legion]

Oh !!!! that sounds awesome . Looking forward to the complete set. Anyways good luck

Edit: what building do you intend to use for the farm and tower?

 

[Ujimasa Hojo]

Update: For the Illidari Set, I'm down to the shop.

Here are the buildings so far:

• Altar - A reskinned version of the Altar of the Depths. Instead of the Naga statue, there is a "hologram" of Illidan.
• Arcane Sanctum - Blood Elf building.
• Arcane Well - Combination of the Coral Bed, Orc Burrow, and Power Generator.
• Black Temple (Town Hall) - A reskinned version of the Necropolis BETA (the one with the "pool").
• Demon Gate - Demon building, a reskinned version of the Crypt with slight modifications.
• Forge - A reskinned version of the Human Barracks with slight modifications.
• Orc Barracks - Orc (and maybe the Broken Draenei).
• Spawning Grounds - Naga building.
• Tower - Reskinned versions of the Human Towers except the Cannon Tower. The Cannon Tower is replaced by a modified Tidal Guardian.

New ones since the last recap are bolded.

 

[Sunreaver]

Maybe u can make the Illidan in the Altar into a statue its quite something.
Maybe Improve the Arcane Sanctum with some Demonic Features like spikes surounding it.
The Black Temple, Forge, Orc Barracks and Demon Gate is kinda too same maybe make more modifications for them.

So...Suggestions only? You don't like it right?

Anyways. They look very more useful than the race mix. I love it!

 

[Sunreaver]

Yeah its kinda lame now

 

[Chen]

Yeah its kinda lame now

Hmm...I think not, well, you are very free to give suggestions so he can improve, but "lame" is not a good word to describe it.

Anyways, the shop can simply be a vault or a marketplace.

 

[Ragnoras]

Cool Illidari buildings, i espically like the Tidal Guardian tower,... with a Dragon's head comin' up from pond on top of the tower... Hilarious, i couldn't stop laughing at that cool and amazing tower! Anyways: good Job!

 

[Vinz]

Good job indeed.

 

[Edge45]

Nice, specially the tower, I love it

 

[The_Legion]

Anything new in the units department?

 

[DaHomieG]

A Naga Spawning Grounds with the Dark Portal texture is out. I think 67chrome's ground texture would actually fit nicely.

I have a great suggestion for the final tier building (i.e. Boneyard, Chimaera Roost, Gryphon Aviary, etc) for the Illidari:

Nether Dragon Roost

The Dragonmaw in Outland are part of the Illidari and they specialize in training Nether Dragons. To make this building, you can go about this two ways.

Idea 1) Reskin the Chimaera Roost using the texture of the Dark Portal as well as the Fel Orc textures from the Orc Barracks.

Idea 2) This one is a little bit trickier, but it's a lot cooler. Reskin one of the Dragon Roost neutral buildings. I suggest using the textures of the Nether Dragon model by Misha. You could ask him for permission or make the texture of the Nether Dragon from scratch.

That's all for now; hope it's useful.

 

[Hjorleif]

That's actually a fantastic idea, a Nether dragon roost. Nice.

 

[DaHomieG]

Thank you.

No entire sets so far. My latest unit rewrap is Thoras Trollbane. Go check him under "Others".

I'll ask Misha for permission first. Not sure if I'll can wrap the skin properly though.

Sweet. If the dragon roost wrap doesnt go well, you can always attempt the classic nether dragon (WC3) texture, or fall back on idea 1 which is also nice.

EDIT:

Also, since Warlords of Draenor is nearing around the corner, will we be seeing an Iron Horde set? It's been requested a few times and it would be an awesome set. Same goes for the new draenei textures.

UPDATE: The Wrapping of the 67chrome's/Misha's Nether Dragon Skin on the Dragon Roost went very well. I just need to add the Base and the Birth animation stuff.

P.S. I just noticed that this thread now has the most views and replies under the modeling section Thanks for the support guys.

Congrats and thanks for providing us with such great things to use over the years..

This is because you give us more of the toys we want what Blizzard was too stingy to do.
So, thank you for doing what you do

42k? Truly a titan, this thread.

Looks great! A small detail: Nether dragon eggs are lavender colored with spikes on them. Would be a lot cooler than plain white eggs.

 

[Chen]

Right! Tell me if it's 50k.

Congratulations! Your model help us from day to day

 

[Sunreaver]

Ujimasa will u use Edge45 Blood Elf Ballista for your EH ?

 

[Eagle XI]

I thought about heavily editing the Dalaran set to get Draenai buildings out of them.
As part of an alternate setting where they managed to take the whole 'tempest keep' to orbit azeroth and send down mini-exodars as main buildings that get upgraded as additional parts (the higher spires) are being sent down from the sky. And the other buildings are teleported in, after a building summoner has prepared the ground and have planted the magic box warp cube, which will 'phase in' the building at construction end(see. similar to upgrading default necropolis)(unique birth anim).
Overall would use the undead way of building birth to accomplish these.

 

[Chen]

I think construction is better. Draenei are crafters anyway.

Author's Notes and Trivia:

 

[Vinz]

Awesome, I especially like the Beastiary. The Watch Tower though, that roof can use a better texture.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Very interesting... I have no use for it, but it's pretty creative sez aye. It's like "Orc invasion of Northrend!!"

I think you mixed up the pics for the Spirit Lodge & Voodoo Lounge...

 

[Wolffman]

Yes! You finally did it
I have been waiting for this for so long...
I don't know if you remember or not, but I did suggest you to do a set like this in a PM possibly, so thank you bear-y much..
The Frostwolf are one step closer...

 

[Ujimasa Hojo]

I think you mixed up the pics for the Spirit Lodge & Voodoo Lounge...

Nah. The Spirit Lodge is actually a modification of one of the the Ice Troll Huts.

 

[Chen]

Lol didn't noticed it immediately. Nice anyway, it fits the Horde of Northrend but Frostwolves, I think not. Iron Buildings will be nice anyway.

 

[Ujimasa Hojo]

Iron Buildings will be nice anyway.

Somebody's already doing Iron Horde skins for the Orc buildings.

 

[Relendril]

troll buildings and felblood elf buildings

 

[bhusta]

Somebody's already doing Iron Horde skins for the Orc buildings.

Yes, but they are removed atm.
And models without custom skin > skins

troll buildings and felblood elf buildings

How about being nice and less demanding?
The buildings already exist for these races.

Edit: GZ for 600 comments btw.
And I have another idea for a set.
The inactive user sage chow made a set of buildings which are using the city structure skin. A whole set made with this texture would be extremely useful in terms of customisation. For example: If you want to have gilnean buildings use cloudwolf skin, if you want a bandit race import redshifts/reds skin.

 

[DaHomieG]

Yes, but they are removed atm.
And models without custom skin > skins

Pretty much. Plus I'd prefer your spin on it, Ujimasa. Please consider it.
