Underworld Faction - Images Available!

[Omega]

It doesn't look ugly, it looks freak'in funny :lol:

Anyway, I'm getting closer to being done. All that's left for models is some type of energy source, the dragon, the ghoul, the goblin, and that should be all.
Once the models are done, I'll post the website. (Which is done, but needs the unit pics)

The lucifer model is retextured for a dark effect, and I hid his face and most of his body in shadows...

[modman]

Gameboy is right.  That ball of energy looks like the weakest thing I could ever fight!  What kind of spells do giant, brain-like meatballs cast anyways?

[gameboy]

i think the Armageddon should have swirl textures and and turn 360 degrees giving it a mystical feeling.

[modman]

Second thought: I do NOT think this faction should go in Magitech.  Actually, Omega, you're making factions that don't fit in any existing tech trees at all (Military, now Underworld).  The reason this cannot go in Magitech is that it is not of the same time period (Tech, Magic, [kind of Dark Magic], ?Underworld?)

I know, of course, that you are going to argue that it does fit, but, in all honesty, it doesn't.

[mictes]

Of cours, modman, all your factions does fit ?
Youre right with military, but an "underworld-faction" could be some kind of a magic-faction - like your darkmagic.

[Omega]

Yeah, like he said...

[modman]

Yes, because Dark Magic can be put on a timescale; Underworld cannot.

I got ideas from this game for underworld-type units.  It's an online game, but you can play it here.  It has the units zombies, devils, runners, vampires and mummies.

[Omega]

Underworld could be from anytime, and definately medival times (tech) or fantasy times (magic, DM)

Sorry, but I think this SHOULD go in magitech...

[Omega]

Ugh, it's been going slowly. How should I make the dragon???

[modman]

How about something original--a land dragon!

[Omega]

That's what it is (see image on first page). I just am wondering how I am going to do the model. The legs will be big, and tail long. I'll give it spikes...

I can do it, but being the big detailed model it is, it'll take some time. Say... does anyone want to do texturing? I really hate that!

Two words: Krayt dragon.

[gameboy]

cool pics, john!
btw hows your sun and moon, coming on?

[verarticus]

The pics are cool! maybe the back spikes need to be a bit bigger though

Actually, I'm just about to get back to working on it.  I've had a lot to do lately (essays, exams, moving, etc) so I really haven't gotten anything at all done in quite a while, but things are calming down now, so pretty soon I'm going to give Blender a try.  Maybe I can finally texture some of my buildings so Omega can quit bugging me every time I post a model.

[Omega]

Sweet pictures Johndh! That's what I plan on doing!

The dragon is a bit tricky. I haven't started yet, and I've been thinking. Has anyone here played Final Fantasy X? The dragons in that game look similar to the pictures and since I have that game, and can challenge the dragons via monster arena, I could get pictures from many poses.

In the meantime, I have drawn a very rough concept art thing which was hand-drawn in maybe 10 minutes, so it's no Da Vinci or something, but it does state what I believe the stats will be. It can be changed though if it makes magitech unbalanced. (It is going into magitech and that is final!)



I could also use some ideas for the goblin (sort of short, evil looking, green (?), and goblin-y), the ghoul (tall, wirey, also evil looking, purple, ghoulish), and I am not very satisfied with my dungeon, but I'm not sure how to make a good dungeon that will go with the general theme of this faction. Currently, it looks as though the dungeon in just a rough small building with barred/grated area.

[modman]

The goblin should be a middle-game melee unit, unless you have too much melee I guess.  It would have about 30-45 armor, organic of course.  It would probably be slightly slower than a Battlemage.

I would recommend getting those screenshots.

[Omega]

Yeah, I'll get them soon. My TV Tuner allows me to hook my stuff up and see it on my laptop, which makes video capture easier too. I need a better capture device. I've seen a nice big list in the General Topic, but I don't know which is the best. Anyone know a specific free one that would have no watermarks or anything, good capture detail (adjustable?), and capable of using very little CPU? Hypercam 2 which I use is the biggest on download.com, and it is great in all aspects except the watermark, and the fact it can only capture AVI. Anyone got another hidden Gem?

PS: Underworld will move very slow in recent months because I must finish the long awaited military, which is getting a complete makeover.
