MiniMage:There's a lot of proportion issues, the animations also need work. Also, lower the file size.

I am not going to update this, or any other model of mine in the foreseeable future.

The issues has been demonstrated rather clearly, so, with that said, when you get past the foreseeable future, please do go back and update this.

Deolrin: Alright, since the creator of the model stated that they are not willing to work on it any further, I'm approving this now with a low rating. There are many problems with the proportions and animations(which are lacking in both quality and quantity), as well as other miscellaneous issues - no footprints, a lack of weapon which downgrades usability(which I realize is more of an artistic choice), lack of collision objects, etc. I must say though, that the portrait is well done. It is a real shame that you have decided you won't update this model anymore.

Despite model's huge filesize it only takes ~120 kilobytes of mapspace:

Attachement points are scaled to fit model's size.

Also i would like not to have this model rated by mr. MiniMage for a number of personal reasons.

Finally, released

I think Misha Can't Moderate since His Computer is Dying (or not?)

 

[Heinvers]

Cheers JH

It's great model which will certainly prove useful to many users around

 

[Minder]

Maybe add a spell animation?

 

[JesusHipster]

Maybe add a spell animation?

I had it planned, but i got realy tried of this hobby. It's not like spell animation is such a must-have.

I thought that there were more than two model moderators around.

 

[Hantoo]

Give Him a Cape

 

[Heinvers]

Deolrin and Blink Boy are model moderators too you know

 

[jonbon29]

Very cool I like this a lot,he looks like a tough guy.

 

[Hantoo]

Deolrin and Blink Boy are model moderators too you know

They Never Moderate My Models before so I don't know

 

[Heinvers]

I'm pretty sure Deolrin moderated Lady Blaumex not long ago :v

 

[Moy]

I like it at first glance. Keep it up.

the head looks weird along with the gloves the attack animations look almost the same give it better animations for attack and perhaps a real weapon besides just punching and it feels almost too much like it's from WOW(i'm not saying it is) I really like what you did with the arthas textures on the armor though 4.2/5

 

[JesusHipster]

Thank you for the comments, folks.

I am pretty sure that writing all this in one gigantic sсentence without dots or commas is a bad idea. I am not going to follow your advices, but still, thanks for your feedback. Partly i consider it fair and right.

 

[kakuzu]

It look nice and can be useful in many maps but shouldnt have him a sword or an axe ?

If model size is an issue, try merging the portrait into the model itself. It could save you a few more KB.

It's not an issue since MPQ (wc3 map and campaighn archive format) compresses model's mesh a lot. Sure, filesize is big, but it's more or less fictional since it's only 120kb with portrait, when imported into the map.

I had really hoped for an epic, awesome Runeaxe. But it's still an awesome model. Although the attack animation need more work, currently they feel more like stabbing something with a tiny dagger.

I've imagined him using his fists as weapons.

Thank you for the feedback, but I am not updating the model since i am done with Warcraft III. And i love this model how it turned out to be now.

 

[Kazeon]

Not bad

 

[HappyCockroach]

pretty cool

i like its walk anim. it doesn't follow the usual walk pattern, and maybe that's why it turned out interesting

 

[Chen]

Seriously, I dreamed about the progress of this and it became true(not really, that's just progress not finishing). Good Job! 4.8/5

 

[Kyrbi0]

Good to see this finished! I thought this was pretty cool. As it turns out, it is. xD

That being said, he does seem a bit... bland? Or perhaps "stock" is the word. Probably really useful for an RPG (with attachable weapons/armor, etc), rather than as any particular RTS unit. Meh.

Is it so hard for you to accept a fist-fighting giant in a fantasy world?

 

[Plasma Boy]

Dude this model has potential but it has several issues that prevent it from being a good model:

1. Animations: the walk animation looks stiff and the attack animations don't look strong, he is throwing punches and if you add weapon to it, it has to be a weapon similar to the weapon used by Illidan or Maiev in warcraft, or it will look weird, also from his attack animations I wouldn't say he is a giant, if he is a giant he should be aiming his attacks toward the ground.

2. Proportions: the upper part of his leggs are too short and he seems to have no hips which make him look quite odd.

Don't take it the wrong way, I'm just pointing it out for you to improve the model.

Sorry About the lack of commas or dots, I usually Judge how many commas by I's and how long it takes for me to read my own sentences that sentence takes me 2 seconds to read, I guess I read faster.

 

[Splub]

Cool model!

 

[MiniMage]

The upper part of the model, from the waist up is pretty neat. But the legs look off. Looks like a proportion issue.
The animations look extremely stiff and I would advice you to work more on it. The file size is pretty large also. So yeah, nice, but needs more work.

 

[Kyrbi0]

No... Fist-fighting is cool, too. But if one were seriously trying to make a fist-fighting-dude, one would think it would have a wide(r) variety of cool fist-fighting animations; like martial arts jujitsu-tai-chi-kung-pao kinda stuff.

It's not bad. It just means he might fit better in an RPG rather than specific RTS. It's a good model. : )

 

[Pyraeus]

JesusHispter, the model looks great and all, but I must speak my mind. After looking at it a little bit. For some reasons the legs and feet seem tinier for me then the upper part of the body. But nevertheless it's a great model.

 

[JesusHipster]

Well, what can i say, i always tend to sacrifice proportions in order to focus viewer's attention on some other part, in this case shoulders and arms. In my opinion it looks good enough now, though I realy wanted to finish it asap, so i haven't realy worked on attack animations.

The textures are not stretched and animations have just enough frames to look good in wc3, so i still think that it's more or less a sucess.

If you don't like the hips you can edit the model (and every other model of mine as well) in order to satisfy your needs. I am not going to update this, or any other model of mine in the foreseeable future.

Everyone, thanks for your feedback.

 

[Mike]

Texture and mesh are excellent. AnimationS too. I think, it will only be better if during death he holds a stomach.

 

[Antimatter]

It's cute!

 

[Lender]

the walk animation is just messed up:/ the arm and leg on the same side should move contrarily. would be much better with somewhat "good enough" animations but at this state I don't realy like it. the wrapping is awesome tough

Too bad I really want to use this guy, along with this http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/gathersouls-241449/ it fits him well.

 

[deepstrasz]

3/5.
Some will surely find this useful.

 

[Aleister]

Uhmmm... there is a small proportion problem, just on his legs, need to be fatter.
For the rest, it's pretty cool.
