Author Topic: Animation instructions for Dark Magic (Read 29728 times)

I have finally finished all animation instructions for Dark Magic. You can download it from HERE.

Please read the tutorial and "sign up" for a unit if you want to model it. This is to prevent a bunch of people from modeling one unit. Not that it will be like that, but just in case...

I'll attempt to put it on the forums, but you'll still probably want to download the pack just to see some crappy model examples I made. ;}

Hmph, I hate having to download something everytime. Can't you make it into a post???

modman · « **Reply #2 on:** 29 December 2008, 20:51:17 »

The pictures arent working, so I will when they're fixed.

Plus you're also downloading a couple examples of buildings (mainly the Sorcery Runes and the Time Orb)

These anim instructions will also come with the next version of Dark Magic, when ever that is.

I understand downloads, but ever heard of image shack. You could have a format were you have a long post with the unit name, the picture(s) of concept art, and other information. Links to downloads could be posted as well if someone is interested enough. That way we don't have to download a bunch of things if we may end up doing only one unit (or none at all).

Aside from image shack, you could also use mediafire.

modman · « **Reply #4 on:** 18 January 2009, 03:45:26 »

OK I put the tutorial up on the first post; hopefully you can read the second page!
There's some examples you may want to see in the pack, so you may decide to download it anyhow. Enjoy, and please make models!

after some re-texturing of course

modman · « **Reply #6 on:** 21 January 2009, 00:57:32 »

Well, actually, I changed my concept for this unit, and I was hoping for an origanal model anyways.

gameboy · « **Reply #7 on:** 21 January 2009, 10:05:31 »

after i finish my elf faction maybe i could make a tree walker model, there are only four models left.
also i'll finish your wywern soon ( after my gryphon)

modman · « **Reply #8 on:** 21 January 2009, 21:27:11 »

I appreciate your generosity.

titi · « **Reply #9 on:** 21 January 2009, 22:06:00 »

I would like to focus on the buildings (first).
Do you have any ideas for them?
( did you get my email? )

modman · « **Reply #10 on:** 23 January 2009, 22:33:21 »

I got the email. I had exams, and usually I respond to emails within 24 hours, but I couldn't because of the exams.
It would be nice to start out with the Tower of Wisdom. I think it's animation and behavior is pretty-well spelled out in the images at the top of the page, so you should be easy in that regard. Also, the artistic theme of Dark Magic (bloody spikes) is pretty consistant throughout Dark Magic, so once the Tower of Wisdom is completed, there should be no confusion over any beautifications of future buildings. What do you think?

modman · « **Reply #11 on:** 27 January 2009, 03:09:30 »

OK I got the model, and I, again, would really appreciate it if it looked like in the drawing. Please don't be discouraged; if what I ask is too hard please tell me, but in the same light, please try your best! To be precise, I have listed changes that I would appreciate to occur.

It's about a Swordsman's height taller than an Archmage Tower
No matter how bad you think the idea is, please follow the concept of the drawing completely
The skull is in the wrong position (I know it was hard to see)
There's supposed to be "energy" around the skull's position (This is why the building costs energy)
The skull levitates up and down in the standing animation
I guess I wasn't completely clear about this, but during the upgrading animation, the skull also spins while it levitates
For an attacking animation, a spike (preferably in the "front" of the model, because Glest spins the model to face attacker whilst attacking) should dissapear (because it is flying off as a projectile; you could just make this a lightning-fast movement inwards) and then slowly slide back into place

A bigger version of the Tower of Wisdom image is below.

Dern JPG

! Killed the image quality (guess it's my fault for using Paint to convert

)

In a bit, it would be nice to have my crappy excuse for a Daemon Slayer replaced with a far better one, Titi. A concept image is below.

titi · « **Reply #12 on:** 27 January 2009, 15:25:19 »

for the tower of wisdom: as I said before, you cannot see the skull in the position you want it
There is no difference if it is with skull or without !

I made a big version(with head under the hood) so you can see it yourselft ...
(I send you a mail)

Whats the next building?
Do you have any pictures for me? Or do you want a new surprise

titi · « **Reply #13 on:** 27 January 2009, 22:08:47 »

I send you a new energy model, this one: ( but I would prefer the old one! )
( textures are your job ...)

modman · « **Reply #14 on:** 28 January 2009, 21:52:40 »

It looks fantastic, but the triangles around the circumferance are actually stout (short and fat) spikes, not 2-D triangles. I like the spirals though!

modman · « **Reply #15 on:** 6 March 2009, 03:24:39 »

Fluffy, you may want to look at this page...

Fluffy203 · « **Reply #16 on:** 6 March 2009, 03:33:06 »

Ok you tell which one to model and i'll also animate it for you , but i don't know about the texturing just give me one and i'll do it and give it to you in about a 2-5 days

modman · « **Reply #17 on:** 6 March 2009, 03:37:11 »

It doesn't matter which one you start with...you have a personal message!

Fluffy203 · « **Reply #18 on:** 6 March 2009, 03:48:15 »

Now so do you

gameboy · « **Reply #19 on:** 6 June 2009, 02:52:33 »

GLADE Team:

check out the first post of this topic for animation instructions and all that.

I'll do the Dark Mage. Hectate can do the Imp or the Reaper.

Hectate · « **Reply #20 on:** 6 June 2009, 03:32:25 »

I'll start with the Imp.
What kind of quantity do we expect of these on-screen at one time? What kind of poly limit should I work within here?
Thanks.

-Archmage- · « **Reply #21 on:** 6 June 2009, 03:56:48 »

i'm trying the shadow walker

gameboy · « **Reply #22 on:** 6 June 2009, 04:23:27 »

@ Hectate: I really don't know, but i think its going to be a cheap unit, so an early game abundance of the unit is to be expected.

-Archmage- · « **Reply #23 on:** 6 June 2009, 04:52:45 »

ugh i stink at creating human like things

I started making the model when i realized, i just don't know how to make human models
i started it the best i could

The face needs a bit of work. and maybe we could do away with the skirt.

@ archmage101: try this tut,
