What buildings should Mr. Bob make next?

[Mr. Bob]

Lets see here... mining camp...

THAT ISNT A MODEL PACK! THATS ONE STUPID BUILDING!

Oh... I gotta scroll down... oh... Oh!... OHHHH!

Yes, that is quiet a list and a project to take on

Im anticipating it, i'll check back tommorrow and see if its done...

~Asomath

lol it won't be done tomorrow. At best, it will be done a month from now.

But, I am almost done with two more models..The market and the armory.

And btw guys, I might be putting more on the list depending on how quickly I can get the others done. While, it only takes me about an hour to make a model, then UVW it, an hour is something I don't always have. To put this into perspective: I get home from work at about 7. I eat dinner, tend to the dog, call people, general house maintenance, etc. I get done with all that at about 10. Then, I usually start to model. I do this for a bout an hour, then I get on the Hive at about 11 or so, and spend a little bit of time in chat. Then I usually get to sleep at about 1. (And no, lol, I do not spend all that time on chat.) Then I wake up in the morning at about 7 usually (my wake up time varies depending on the days job) and start the whole bloody thing all over again. D:

So in other words, please be patient.

The message was for everybody. XD

 

[Ghost765]

i need practically everything on your list.

 

[Mr. Bob]

i need practically everything on your list.

Yes, well I figure, sense my models are so radically different from WC3 models, it would be no use to just make one... I have to make the whole freaking thing. XD

Anyway, I'm glad someone will actually use this crap.

 

[Ghost765]

well, its always good to have generic buildings, DO IT bobby.

 

[HELL_YA]

Holy... Just what i needed weird how that happens... And i also hear u are making a Republic Gunship with Stanakin Skywalker... YIPPY!!! Medieval for (not telling) and Starwars for my well LOOK BELOW!!!

Bob...may the force be with you...roflcopter

 

[Mr. Bob]

Hmmm...things seem to be going well...I MIGHT be able to finish this before Christmas...

 

[Mr. Bob]

BUMP

Holy crap things are looking awesome. Its getting closer to completion! And they all look awesome so far.

 

[Rui]

Nice to hear it. I suppose you can't divulge a small screenshot for us to fantasize a little?^^

 

[Mr. Bob]

Nice to hear it. I suppose you can't divulge a small screenshot for us to fantasize a little?^^

I promised I wouldn't, but for you I will. :3

Only 3 though! The rest are secret!

First one is a tavern. Second one is a lumbermill. Third is an archer's tower.

Note, that the roofs will look normal ingame.

Note, that the wood that comes out of the lumbermill is split and falls into the two pits on either side, in the stand work anim.

 

[Rui]

Oh. My. GOD! Those are AWESOME!

This question I assume you can answer: how many models did you make?

 

[Linaze]

Looking good, that's all that there is to say.

 

[Mr. Bob]

Oh. My. GOD! Those are AWESOME!

This question I assume you can answer: how many models did you make?

So far? 11 from the list and 2 extra.

9 more to go! D:

 

[Rui]

Well, I guess we've never been closer to seeing them done, have we? Nice job so far.

 

[Gyrosphinx]

Holy shit!!!!
Thats bloody well done, you keep staying on my top 5 favourite modellers for sure!

 

[Sheephunter]

Dose the buildings have animations? :O

 

[Mr. Bob]

Dose the buildings have animations? :O

Not yet. I am going to finish all 20 of them, then do the anims. (Don't worry, building anims don't take long.)

 

[Ghost765]

hooray! im gonna take credit for all those-thank-you-very-much. jk. good lookin buildings tho.

 

[Mr. Bob]

hooray! im gonna take credit for all those-thank-you-very-much. jk. good lookin buildings tho.

In all seriousness, feel free to do so. XD I really don't mind... Not here obviously, because mods tend to look down on that sort of thing... lol

IT'S ALMOST DONE!

EDIT: ONLY 2 MORE! D:

 

[Sheephunter]

Cmon.....

 

[Deolrin]

Can't wait.

 

[Mr. Bob]

ONLY THE CASTLE REMAINS!

And btw, remember, I still have to spend a week animating them. I'll release them all on Christmas Day.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Those buidlings would be excellent also as town doodads.

 

[Mr. Bob]

BUMP


ALL THE MODELS AND UVWRAPS ARE DONE! D:

Just need to animate and add particles. THEN IT'S RELEASE TIME!

I think they all turned out very well. And of course, the castle, being the last one I made, is fittingly awesome.

 

[Mr. Bob]

Ok, it looks like I am going to have to release them all near new years. Reason is because I just found an awesome way (special thanks to GF) to make a great birth anim. It will take more time though. But, trust me, it's SO worth it.

 

[Ghost765]

yes. it will be worth it. this will revitalize me to stop playing mw2/tov/dow2 for awhile and haul ass over to my map

 

[pangahas]

Can't wait to use the models for my map,they're freakin awesome..

 

[Sheephunter]

Some SS would atleast be cool xD

 

[Goldendemon]

Modells please x)

 

[Mr. Bob]

Ok guys, I found a way to do the same thing to the decay anims.

These improvements, to the birth and decay anims, don't improve quality as mush as filesize. It's either 100kb for a death and birth model, or an added 100k to each of the 20 models... So it's a good thing.

I'm working as fast as I can though. You can expect to see them around new years, or the middle of January. Last setback. I promise.

 

[Goldendemon]

I want your modells, now !

 

[Malcous]

I want your modells, now !

Agreed!

 

[Mr. Bob]

They're coming! They're coming! D:

I had no idea how hard it was to figure out the scaling between all the models. Because of this, I'll post them here one at a time over the next few days.

My apologies for not finishing on time. I really should have managed my time better. Really really sorry guys.

BEFORE I POST THEM THOUGH, can we all decide on a model angle? Note that 45 degrees DOES NOT HELP THE CRAPPY LIGHTING SYSTEM OF WC3.. I'd like to make it strait at the camera. But, I'll let you guys decide.

So, what model facing angle?

 

[HELL_YA]

I'd Say straight on the camera my reasons are because...I WANT THEM NOW!!!! And dont be sorry your making awesome models but seriously i want them...and can you post the castle first? I need that the most xD... Also Mr. Bob you are such an awesome Model Maker +Rep for sure!

 

[Deolrin]

Straight in the camera, or just a little tilted to the side. But just a little.

 

[Goldendemon]

Straight in Cam's Face!

 

[Mr. Bob]

Strait on it is! This will prove extremely helpful.

Btw guys, they are already done. They all just need anims and node work. lol.

Now that I can do strait on, scaling will be EXTREMELY easy now.

And, about the castle, I am going to submit it last because it is so big, and requires a bunch of special animations for things like death and birth.

 

[Ghost765]

couldnt u just give permission for everyone to edit the angle of the buildings to whatever they please?

 

[Mr. Bob]

couldnt u just give permission for everyone to edit the angle of the buildings to whatever they please?

Read my sig. The problem is it messes up the node stuff. (particles and anims)

 

[Ghost765]

hm...good point. idc as long as they look nice.

 

[Mr. Bob]

hm...good point. idc as long as they look nice.

XD Thanks!

It's amazing how much the screen facing helps. I am almost done with all the anims. After which I need to fix particles, event objects, and other minor issues.

WE'RE SO FREAKING CLOSE!

 

[Ghost765]

good...good...

 

[Linaze]

Yeah, and after that, it's on too wc2 pack! Wait, did I just say that? Shame on me...

 

[Mr. Bob]

Yeah, and after that, it's on too wc2 pack! Wait, did I just say that? Shame on me...

I probably won't make any more packs after this. At least, none that I will announce in advance. It's a lot of work! D:

I might just go back to making regular models. And some secret packs of course.

Anyway, all anims are done. Particles are next.

 

[Gyrosphinx]

OH MAN! I can barely wait!!!

 

[Mr. Bob]

Btw, if you guys plan on using these, I HIGHLY recommend you find a camera system similar to that of Age of Empires 2. The models fit that style REALLY well.

Isn't that the same as Warcraft 3?

 

[Mr. Bob]

Medieval Buildings Pack

IT'S FINALLY DONE!

After months of development.. and lots of palm sweat.. It's now done.

I recommend using a 45 degree camera system to match that of Age of Empires or something. It would make the models look better. And, it would make WC3 look better. (The grid in WC3 faces the camera. In AoE, it faces a 45 degree angle.)

This pack contains 22 models. 20 of them are buildings. I'll explain the other two in a minute.

CONTENTS:
Academy
Arcane Sanctum
Archery
Armory
Barracks
Castle
Church
Encampment
Guard Tower
House
Lumber Mill
Market
Mines
Plantation
Stables
Tavern
Town Center
Watch Tower
Wizard Tower
Workshop

EXTRAS:
Birth
DecayMesh

YOU MUST IMPORT THE BIRTH.MDX FILE AND THE DECAYMESH.MDX FILE IN ORDER FOR THE MODELS TO WORK PROPERLY. DO NOT CHANGE THE PATH.


I made the birth and decay anims separate models to save filespace. It was either 1700kb or 4000kb...so yeah..

ENJOY!

Also, please report any problems to me!

EDIT: Btw, this is my 1000th post!

That looks so fididdelidarn awesome
