Whomp

Pyritie: It just looks like a bunch of primitives stuck together. Also the texture is not yours.

G.F: Texture is not yours. Model is lacking lots of need warcraft stuff and also this has been too long without any critical update.

Here is a pic of the front and back of the Whomp.

Here is a pic of the front and back of the Whomp.

2. Was the texture obtained legally?

Unable to load "Whomp.jpg", file does not exist!

That's the message I get when I tried to open the model in Model Editor. You should fix this path issue as soon as possible.

Plus the square part on Whomp needs to be thicker.

 

[varsaigen]

Ok. I'll make it thicker and I forgot to delete the test texture after I converted it. :/

Edit: Fixed.

Nice another mario enemy! thanks!

 

[varsaigen]

No problem. but I don't see what the mods don't like about it. I used reference pics to get it as close as possible to exact detail (this one was easy to make accurate) and since I am horrible at skinning, I followed my method of making the skin the same way as my other mario models.

EDIT: Perhaps I wasn't clear enough for HappyTauren as he thinks I have been claiming to have made the texture. I will clear up any confussion he has about this as much as possible. HappyTauren, I didn't claim to make the texture. I am not a pro skinner and my artistic skills on a computer down-right suck. So if I am to be a modeler, how can I make a model without a texture for it? All models require a texture and those modelers with horrible skinning ability and don't want to have to hire a skinner every time to complete a model wouldn't get anything done. So, please answer this question. As a modeler with horrible skinning skills, how am I supposed to give it a skin without waiting years for my artistic ability to jump, and not constantly hire someone else?

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Better. Now I some more critique-ish things I'd like to say.

Major:
- The model's attack and death animation is on a loop. You shoud enable Non-looping on it.
Optional:
- The model could use some attachment points ("Overhead", "Origin" and "Chest" is a must, but do also add "Head", "Hand Left", "Hand "Right", "Foot Left" and Foot Right").
- Could use a Warstomp sound when he smacks on the ground.
- Coud use a fitting deathsound when he dies.
- Could use some "deep footstep" sound when he walks.

 

[varsaigen]

I like that. Tauren footsteps, Warstomp for hit impact/slam, and I wish this site had a sound section to upload sounds for custom models...

Alas, I have no clue how to add attachment points. Sorry. But if I learn how, I will definetly add them.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Node manager in War3 Model Editor let's you create attachment points and place them into correct places (use a dummy particle as a guideline for changing the attachmentpoint's position).

 

[StaberFire]

The proportions of the face are off, center it more because right now it's too big.

Not really a hot issue, but his arms could be a little lower on his body.

And finally, the back is alot blurrier than the front. You may want to consider enhancing that.

Yarg.

 

[1MpUrO]

grrwaaarg that pirate looks good for ma'h tripulation, i give you 3.5/5 ggrarf!

 

[Zerox]

Arr that be quite the swabbie for a pirate like me. I'll be using yar Thwomp with credits to boot. +reparrred

 

[smasher89]

very well made!!!!!! thanks this whomp going to be in he kirbyes racknarock map!!!! because mario and kirby are in a belic war betwen their kindoms XD

 

[Anti_Bodies]

this model seems sick. just do the suggestions that have been made here and it will be a 5/5 model for me

 

[Zerox]

Wow its really good. Um just my opinion on the texture since the mods seem to not like it. It just appears to be 2 screenshots of Mario 64 just like the mario models made by him were based off screenshots.

 

[HappyTauren]

Dude stop claiming you made the textures when you HAVE NOT. This is the third time you've claimed something as your own, where it is not. Knock it off, we are not idiots.

 

[smasher89]

yes the texture are screeshot, but i dont see problem whit that???? much models have textures extrated form other games and photos!!!!!but edited also... well it was just my opinion

 

[varsaigen]

HappyTauren, I have never claimed the textures as mine. Just the models. Also, I saw nothing in the rules that said anything about it. I have never been a good skinner, so this was the only way. So please stop accusing me of things I have never said.

 

[HappyTauren]

You said you used reference pics to try to get it to the exact detail... I thought you were talking about the texture...

Also, varsaigen, you need to LEARN and PRACTICE in order to get good at anything. Sure, you are A BIT late for wc3, but heck? It doesn't mean you couldn't do it for other games.

 

[varsaigen]

By detail I meant the model. I have been practicing my texturing, but to get good at making stone, etc. I need good tutorials. I already have the crystal effect down, now I just need a stone effect down. Then I will be able to give it a custom texture.

 

[Zerox]

Sounds cool to me. Keep up the good work varsaigen. I like it a lot already though so it doesn't matter to me so much.

 

[varsaigen]

URK! I haven't found any good stone tutorials for granite. D: Anybody feeling like making a texture for it? :/ It would be most appreciated. (Credits will be given of course)
