Really really nice, i LOVE the texturing, amazing job. If you are still taking suggestions id suggest making the planet a little smaller, surrounding it with a few floating shards or something and have something hover ontop. The globe is a little large for a staff head. I was thinking the large glowing trees from crystalsong have some kewl shard on the bottom, like that except alot fewer and less dense, more empty space to see the planet and something to cover it ontop, like another thing sucking energy from ontop. Another kool thing u could prolly do is have energy suckd from top and bottom and have lines of energy flowing from north to south pole but theyd be very thin and have a shine moving accross them, only maybe 8

I actually attempted three things with the head... a moon, a crystal and a golden artifact on top. In the end the planet was the best choice.
In the end just the planet, without anything else ended up being the best. If I could animate the objects I could probably make a moon orbiting around it, but that wasn't the case.
Something that would be cool would be a kind of aura looking thing wich is stars (so it feels like ur looking thru the stars etc etc and see the planet)

This is ****ing awesome. +rep
Forgot to mention that I promoted this to front-page. Nice work.
Dude, this is epic. +Rep, and keep it up!
Seems like the download link with the universe isn't working. Could you somehow remedy that, thanks.
If you set a man a flame, you keep him warm for a day. If you set a man aflame, you keep him warm for the rest of his life.
Just tested and it's working perfectly for me.
FFFFFFF i need to step up my game :P

Again, you blow me away with this! Amazing!!!!
So ****ing amazing dude! Its the best weapon I've ever saw. Why does blizzard makes so shitty weapons and you can defeat them with one stuff, Im speechless!
Could you make it possible, that you can change the planet a bit? Maybe to involve some weather effects, storms or to make the azeroth planet.
just my 2 cents
Thank you for the enthusiasm. Well as I said in the OP, the reason I can "beat" Blizzard is because I had all the time of the world and no pressure to work in one weapon which probably took twice the time the other weapons take, or more. This weapon is also much more resource-intensive than anything else in the game. If the entire game was made of models using tens of textures, it would have many more GBs than it currently does and be slow, very slow. Unless they redid the engine to support pixel shaders, that is.
As for changing the planet... I'm quite done with it a bit. There's two reasons why I won't make it Azeroth, first because it wouldn't make sense. The concept of the weapon is that it's draining energy from a planet, and wouldn't make sense for the heroes to use a weapon that is taking energy from their planet, possibly from themselves since they're in it. Second, because it took me around 8 hours to make the planet, adding more effects to it would be a complete pain.
In any case, thanks for the support.
Wow, just wow. This is an amazing piece of art right there. Good job!
woop woop phoakin diddy daunauts!
