Speed Model: Singularity

Maybe. The only problem is that it wouldn't mix with the current art direction/color scheme. Maybe if I did using an Outland purple+green your idea could work. Since I'm going with Titans (again...) which is yellow/blue/cyan, that wouldn't fit.

Hmm, will look cool anyways. If its too monotone in the end you are still able to change it

Time: Two hours and a half

If you don't already do, you should really start working for Blizzard

There are no green stars, so that wouldn't make sense.

Just move fast enough and stars will appear green. :P

Looks great, keep it up.

Time: Three hours and a half



Setting it up in-game.

[d3rrial]

It's a little bit to big

[Bloomfalls]

Time: Four Hours


Got the model complete, with shaders, in-game. So I got to my goal. A bit too tight.

Now I'll get to the process of fixing small details (such as size, position) and make a MPQ to release.

Looks awesome, but I think you should probably align the shield like a shield to the side of the characters arm, not in the hand. Also it looks a little bit weird to see the hand of the character. But else than that it is awesome! You made a nice shield in about 4 hours. I guess no one with blizzard could compete with you (I dont know if thats a correct english word)

lol Sheep....

Look really nice imo i like it ^^ simple is what i like

[Thunderofnl]

Time: 5 hours




Alright, fixed everything there was to fix, so it's release time. 5 hours from project start to release including 2D concept.

Instructions are on the OP.

There are MANY things I want to improve. My previous models took four to five times this one, but for a speed run I'm quite satisfied with the result I got. Anyway, beyond the speed modeling, these are the things I intend to improve:

1) Improve the stars, not happy with them.
2) Improve the textures.
3) Improve the model a bit although I'm fairly happy with it.
4) Add more special effects.

Anyway thanks for C&Cs, every word/suggestion is welcome. I'll be reworking the entire model now, this time with more patience, since I got the initial goal achieved.

her arm is partly sticking outta the power ? :O remove dat hehe

well i like it ^^ as i said earlier, simple is what i like

[Bloomfalls]

It's simple for now.

Anyway, I didn't quite explain what the hell was with that shield, but so to explain now:

A friend of mine said Outerend was good portfolio material, but that the amount of time I took was obviously way out of the pipeline most companies work with, which is true. I decided to see how fast I could make a model for WoW from zero, given our current limitations.

If you notice from my posts you'll see the bunk of the time was spent getting the model to work in-game. The actual model and texture work times were minor... around two-three hours. I got my pipeline to do wow models pretty good, but it's still too slow compared to getting my models to work in my actual job, where you have a proper editor and guidelines.

I think that's more important than the model itself. With Tigurius' editor I presume the boring part will require you to spend much less time. For a speed run, it was a good result, but nowhere near the quality I wanted. So as happy as I am with the fact I finished a model in 4-5 hours, I'm not happy with the result. Then again I almost never am.

Anyway, off to polish the model a bit, so I can have something better in some hours.
