GLADE Team Project: Dark Magic

[Fluffy203]

ok hope you like it sorry didn't texture it either and its a diamond in the rough 

[John.d.h]

That's no problem.  Instead of reducing the polygons, I just made a separate object and fit it to the old one, so it looks identical but it's only like 400 and something faces.  I'm adding some "flavor" to it, though.  (and anyone who's seen my recent models knows that when it comes to me and Dark Magic, flavor means spikes)

[Fluffy203]

cool even tho i'm not with the team i would like to see the finished product =)
Edit: i'm not on the team , but if you want a better ground texture for the serpent i can make you one =)

[John.d.h]

I'm finished with the model (unless something needs to be changed), but it still needs a texture.  It probably doesn't need an animation, but if someone wants to add an appropriate flag or some dangling skulls or something, be my guest.

Take a look at Fluffy's version on GLADE's ModDB page.

I can make an attempt at texturing it, but I'm sure someone (just about anyone) else is more qualified, so let me know if you wanna take a shot at it.

[Fluffy203]

i'll do one and post it up here no sweat    and ok curious did you extrude those spikes or make them and just separately put them on there cause if you extruded them , you might wanna detach them and texture them like that or the uv's will be sick if you try to just texture it like that

I extruded them from the sides, but I unwrapped them separately.

[Fluffy203]

woot smart move =) just thought i would ask

[John.d.h]

The placeholder textures are in the package, so do you think you can figure it out with just those, or do you need the model in .obj as well?  I think there's just the .blend in there (or can you work with that too?).

[Fluffy203]

well if you extract it with the uv's already unwrapped it should keep them , but i can work with blender enough to texture in it , but just put both files up and i'll texture it and here are the two ground textures use which ever you like the most or neither  with roots

What other models have to be done, I would like to do a little modeling again.

[Fluffy203]

lol forgot we were like competitor's for a moment , but oh well

I think something dark and stony would be good, probably with some vines/moss/creepers/whatever growing on it.  I'm not sure about the head and the horns, though.  Keep in mind the concept picture.

Edit: If you're using GIMP, then maybe you can use some kind of mix between the amethyst, granite #1, and slate patterns. /Edit

All of the buildings are done, but if you're feeling up to the challenge, you can have a try at the Imp, Gargoyle, Alliyp, Morlock, Shadow Walker, or Harpy.

[Fluffy203]

yea i followed the concept when i did the model , but yea just upload them and i'll give the texture a shot =)

[-Archmage-]

I'll try Morlock.

Modman I need concept art.

[John.d.h]

On second thought, I think I'm gonna have a try at texturing the Temple.  I need the practice.

Modman I need concept art.

It's supposed to be a furry goblinoid creature roughly equivalent to a Daemon in strength.  They also have poor eyesight, so beady little eyes would probably be a nice touch.  I remember Modman emphasized several times that it's supposed to be hairy.  I think he said something like "a man-sized yeti".

Examples:1, 2, 3, 4

Edit: Here's my progress on the Sheol Temple's texture for the night.  Tomorrow (err... today, technically) I might touch it up a bit and maybe get started on the rest of the building.

[-Archmage-]

Ok I took the swordman model and changed it a bit.
I'm trying to get a better idea of what it will look like it Glest.
I know I still need to work on a few things but here's a start.

Just tell me what to change, or change it yourself.
I gave him a pickaxe as a weapon, didn't know what else to give him.

[modman]

Thanks everyone for the progress Glade is making on this faction.

I was worried about whether me being absent most of the time would kill progress, but John.d.h has kept it going, with insight, tips, and work of his own.

Also, I would like to thank Arch, Fluffy for the models.  I want to check them out tonight.

Archmage101, just wondering, but do you know how to animate?

[-Archmage-]

Modman I was just trying to learn to animate in the past few hours using the Glest Guide but it doesn't seem to be working.
I will learn to texture though soon.

[Fluffy203]

ok i have a rough , very rough harpy by morphing the swordman , but its a sexy model if you want it let me know i seperated the wings uv's and have a texture for them already , but you can do whatever you want with it if you want it =)

[Mark]

Where is it?  And also, even though i redownloaded it, I couldn't open your Shadow Walker model. 

[Fluffy203]

it is in my documents right now and idk why john didn't have a problem

[John.d.h]

Actually, I can't get it to import either.  I just hadn't tried before. 

Anyway, it gives me the following error:


If we can't fix it, that's not really any big deal since it was (as I recall) only a slightly-modified version of Ghost Armour that would take like five minutes to remake, or alternatively we can pursue other concepts and totally redo it.

[Fluffy203]

yea you guys can , plus i added hands didn't know if you wanted them in the first place 

[John.d.h]

In regards to the Morlock, I'm thinking he should attack with claws or fists, since I'm picturing something somewhat subhuman, incapable of any weaponry more sophisticated than a stick, but of course trees don't grow underground, so he'd be stuck with just his natural weapons.  I might have a try at making one when/if I get the time.
