[discussion thread] An'she's Legacy (previous WIP thread)

[Goshujinsama]

Edit3: You can download the weapons over here now http://www.mmowned.com/forums/simple...he-legacy.html

but ill just keep this thread for talking and crap

Edit2: Problem solved .. i forgot the triangulate my model before exporting .. this is necessary when handling with more complex object because it simplifies the thinking process for your software and it will result in less errors

check it out


now i just have to figure out how to make it shiny like normal metal objects in wow

well first off anyone know a better name ?? xD

anyways here it is still working on the texture .. still need to paint the back and side of the shield .. after that there are still some finishing touches here and there.



the design:


everything you see here from design,3d and texture is all hand made me .. no ripping of from pictures like some people ... ;D

program used for 3d is maya 8.5 and texture is painted in photoshop 7. total time spend so far somewhere around 20-30 hours already :O.
total triangles: 2614

and of course i plan on releasing as soon as its finished , but i have no shield wearing character what so ever so if you guys could post some names of shields that are used alot that would be great xD.

anyways tell me what ya think so far

There is no words to explain how good you are at making models. That is just AWESOME! That right there is 100,000,000,000,000,000 times better than any model Blizzard ever makes. One more thing...that shield is just AWESOME!

Edit- What about "Sunspike Defender"?

[synthblade]

Look up a name for the god of the sun!

[Goshujinsama]

hmmm if i would call it something like " Apollo" (a sun god) .. then i have a feeling i actually should make the face more gold like becuase now its to grey to be refured to something like the sun.

but ill think about thanks for you guys input :3

kekek well mooseboi glad you see it that way xD .. lols maybe should apply to bliz becuase i need to work a year anyways xD

[Pullefjun]

According to WoWlore: "The sun (An'she)".
Since it's a model for WoW perhaps you should name it Shield of An'she or something alike.
Then again this is tauren mythology, so I'm not sure, but still...
I have a question though, how old r u?
For being able to do this model ur either old or extremely skilled :P

[[Soul Eater]]

太陽の表面

Just name it like that. XD

O well, nifty shield it is yes, and most used shields are the honor ones and the one from shattered sun offensive.

And I aint a texture ripper I just eye drop their color and make it myself....or well parts of it but that counts too! ^^ Graf Eisen is wholely textured by me with copying the color scheme, <3 gradient tool ^^

[Goshujinsama]

im 20 years old and counting :O .. zomg old xD ... and thanks for the name ill keep it in mind

... hahah soul eater what is that xD

but i was JK on the texture part .. i mean texture painting is by far easy so i can understand why some people tend to use photos or existing pictures instead of making it themselfs

[[Soul Eater]]

Yeah, just like me or wait..no...that doesnt sound right...I texture it my own...yeah that sounds right ^^

and...use babelfish, I did the same thing 0.o babelfish gave me the name...XD

O well, nice to see some nice custom models here and there in the progress, it just indicates that custom modeling isn't gonna be dead for a while even when I quit ^^

[MooseBoi]

No, DONT apply for Blizz... make you own game called World of Goshucraft, I'd play it :P

[Goshujinsama]

hahahah that would be great ... 10 mil players .. cashing in 14 mil bucks every month .. nice ;D

soul you will never quite ... you just can't because you like to do it to much ;D

[Squabert]

Whoa, Amazing work, That's really really good. Not really much more to say.

[vindictus]

I've been lurking for a little while but this is the first thing that's really motivated me to post(no offense to other amazing model editors).

That shield is absolutely stunning.

I think 'The Aegis of An'She" sounds pretty spiffy imo

[perilousbanana]

Looks really good, but way too hi-poly for a game like WoW. How many triangles does it have?

If you don't mind, could I see your UVs?

lols read the post ;D ... its 2614 triangles on the moment ( i think there will be an extra 150 when i am done).. and ya if it was an official WoW item this is pretty damn high ress xD .. normal poly limits are around 500 orso .. but for model editing this is alright

anyways my uvs



edit: @vindictus .. hmm sound alright :<

[Aradroth]

I'd so use this for when I'm ele. You're awesome at editing man, cant wait for release.
