WIP: Sulfuras, Hand Of Ragnaros

[Jathulioh]

I haven't seen this weapon on the hive workshop yet, thought it was a little weird, specially because we have a thunderfury.

Anyway, let me get on to what I'm doing.

So here is basically what I have.

SULFURAS

I want to keep it all in-game textures.

But I can't really find any which I could use to match the original.

ORIGINAL SULFURAS

Wondering if any of you guys know of any in-game textures I could use.
I'm already messing with DarkPortal03 and Cave_Lava and a few others, but They don't really fit the colour scheme :/

Remember that you can tint geosets in magos via geoset animation. This will make the search for a texture much easier.

Yeah, I can't get the shiny metal look on the spikes and stuff using that technique. It might be me just being bad but that yeah.

Also try to mix certain textures by putting them in the same material but making one of them additive for example.

It's a trial and error basically and highly depends on the wrap you're using but i can work wonders.

 

[Jathulioh]

Lol yeah, my knowledge of textures which fits this kinda weapon is fairly poor. And my creativity when it comes to wrapping is poor. But I figure the more I do it the better I'll eventually become.

I did add the same texture additive to make it more glowy and shiny but it's a bit meh.

Gonna keep playing with it, uploaded it to get more feedback

I would suggest using the be_armor.blp from the directory: UI -> Glues -> SinglePlayer -> Alliance_Exp

Thanks, I think I used the other texture there BloodElf_Old or something.
I believe I used this at first but then after I started using geoset animation colours this one didn't fit the bill. There wasn't any rune-like patterns similar to the blood mage on the texture either.

Anyway

Thanks for the input guys, helped a lot
