What is your specialty in wc3 modding?

[frostwhisper]

Quoted from the Introduction Forum: "The Hive includes many talented Warcraft III modders of all skill levels among its users."
-Wolverabid

So lets hear what you're best at concerning wc3 modding. What are the skills you wish to improve? What advice can you give to people who share your interests? Which people do you think do their jobs best in their area of modding?

Personally I am practicing terraining and voice acting. I wish to improve those skills as much as possible. Though I would really love to model or skin, I don't have some of the essential tools and am afraid it will take me years to reach the quality of some people's work.
My idols: Madsen (terraining), General Frank (mdl. editing), Chriz. (animation), erwtenpeller and camel's_hump (skinning), Elenai (fresh ideas and modding spirit).

 

[Dr00d]

I make the comics... theres no poll option for "other". -.-'

But I do try to help people with ideas, so I'll vote that.

 

[Mechanical Man]

I just suck at everything I do.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Modelling.

It's pretty much common knowledge these days that me and JetFang are the gods of special effects here, except I'm the only one still around.

And I've made some nice models, with no anims... and right now I'm getting better in geomerging.

Oh, sure I might sound pretentious, but hey, I'm awesome. Get used to it.

 

[Ljusdahl]

Why isn't triggering, spell/unit/item making and concept/gameplay in the poll?

 

[frostwhisper]

'Cause I'm a retard and forgot them... -.-"

 

[Mor)L(unE]

Mainly terraining, then lore making and helping people out, id like to learn modeling and animation

 

[robot-dude]

pretty much nothing i am a noob in
Modeling
Animation
Skinning

 

[donut3.5]

I'm starting to get decent at animating, but I have a long way to go.

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Of course, we're all comparing ourselves to Wc3 modding standards. None of us are professional here... though very few could be.

 

[frostwhisper]

Yeah you're right. And it's not about being professional. Its about showing and developing your talents, what you are good at. Because this is the basis of one's development.

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

I'm adept at hurting other people's feelings. Where's the option for that?

 

[frostwhisper]

It is the "other; state in a post" option which I forgot to add...

 

[Shados]

Added a few things, then voted for them.

 

[frostwhisper]

Ah, thank you, sir. Help was appreciated.

 

[Elenai]

General Frank and I rule the mdl/Oinkerwinkle modeling empires of these lands.

 

[frostwhisper]

Don't forget Callahan now

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

General Frank and I rule the mdl/Oinkerwinkle modeling empires of these lands.

GF moar tho. Hes a fukin gawd.

 

[Elenai]

I will indeed admit that General Frank is the mdl Emperor...and I am but a mere prince....And Callahan I have not seen his work...but I am sure he also rules MDL.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Nah, you're still a total newbie when compared to the geomerging gods that Callahan and General Frank are. Callahan made some seriously awesome models. They're mostly on Wc3c I think.

I'm pretty sure RDZ rules the lowpoly market though.

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

It is the "other; state in a post" option which I forgot to add...

Nah, it's "Keeping the modding spirit up; giving ideas to people on how to improve "

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

Triggering and object data, mostly.

 

[Elenai]

Nah, you're still a total newbie when compared to the geomerging gods that Callahan and General Frank are. Callahan made some seriously awesome models. They're mostly on Wc3c I think.

Yah...I suppose I am a noob in comparison to these guys....But! I'm getting there...slowly but surely.

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

Yah...I suppose I am a noob in comparison to these guys....But! I'm getting there...slowly but surely.

Maybe you should make a panda model. Pandas make everything more awesome.

JetFang is still around Wc3c WILL, so you can't claim the throne just yet, just here at Hive

My speciality is terraining and generally actually completing maps of decent/high quality. To date I've finished 10 maps or so.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Does the 50 second cinematic count?

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

I wouldn't consider that a map. More of a teaser for a cinematic that is never going to get made

 

[GST_Nemisis]

gui triggers and object manipulation

 

[Belgarath]

GUI generic, terraining, object editor, keeping spirits up and stories. Although I always need some base map, then I can write for ages.

 

[Mechanical Man]

I will indeed admit that General Frank is the mdl Emperor...and I am but a mere prince....And Callahan I have not seen his work...but I am sure he also rules MDL.

Did you perhaps forget about olofmoleman?

 

[Gilles]

Did you perhaps forget about olofmoleman?

I agree! Those dinosaur models were intense.

 

[frostwhisper]

Olof does scratch work mainly. And besides, all the custom features he adds to his models are far beyond simply mdl. editing...
Too bad he doesn't animate, but heck, thats why Chriz. and Illidan(Evil)X exist.

 

[marven15]

As of now, I know some stuffs concerning Triggering(GUI) and fond of ideas(but iI'm too shy to share them. -_-). Currently training myself on terraining. Then after that I'll go to JASS. ^^ I also want to learn how to make my own models though not now I guess.

 

[Moontraveler]

Well it would be terraining I find it easy to do and relaxing. I also can make storylines/lore but I never found a great use to it yet.
