VillagerMan with IceGuitar

[Rao Dao Zao]

Well?

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Rock'n'Roll baby.

 

[Elenai]

Hmmmz...with a new villager skin this could very well be the most incredible rock guy model for warcraft ever.....

 

[Cavman]

That... is awsome

+rep

 

[Infinitynexus]

Isnt there a version of arthas where he has an ice guitar or is my memory broken?

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Rockin arthas, yes. I think the guitar is from there.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

The animation is from there too, I just put a villager on because I'm going to need one.

I'll replace the guitar with a lute at some point, but this was really just a scam to get some more rep.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Yay!And you've earned it.If you put him a great skin and a T-Shirt that reads The Who and I will rep you every 2 days.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

RDZ do some minor skin edits to the villager to make him icy and rock'n'roll like (sunglasses, slick black hair) and this would be awesome and uploadable to the database for sure.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Why would I upload it? With my leet geometry transference skills, it took me no more than ten minutes -- the rest was just trial and error getting the shoulder vertices assigned appropriately.

 

[SuPa-]

Give it the Marilyn Manson skin ROFL!

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Why would I upload it?

It would be very usefull for music-cinematics.

 

[seruk]

Grooooooovey, baby!

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

And swanky new guitar, that is far more in-keeping with the player and his polycount.

 

[brad.dude03]

Very nice, we have both wicked ice guitar AND normal guitar You even managed to get the stance right

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Uh... RockinArthas has been mentioned, right?

I didn't do a thing with any animations here.

 

[brad.dude03]

Yeah, but there must be some work involved making the animation work with a different unit, no?

I am ignorant in the ways of modelling, forgive me.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

No, you just apply the bone structure to the mesh, it should do the rest for you.

 

[brad.dude03]

Well I suppose i'm getting credit when he shouldn't really recieve it, but still

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

I applied the mesh to the bone structure, actually.

It was a lucky strike that the villager was rather nicely laid out like RockinArthas; all I really needed was to stretch his torso and upper arms a little.

 

[donut3.5]

Too bad you aren't doing custom anims for this, I'd love to see some kickass headbanging.

[Deleted member 126647]

Ah gee, I can't believe I said attach the bones to the mesh, what was I thinking

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

You should be ashamed of yourself! A pro like you... *shakes head*

 

[Wolverabid]

...all I really needed was to stretch his torso and upper arms a little.

Great stuff RDZ.

Would it be possible to stretch the guitarist's arms even more? A lower-slung axe would provide a more modern feel, as opposed to the "Buddy Holly armpit style."

Lengthening the guitar's neck might also allow room for another fret using your new texture, although doing so may make it appear more like a bass.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

There's no reason why not, but I think the 'arm-pit style' is more because my guitar's positioning is very slightly off. His right hand is actually a distance away from the 'strings'.
