[SHOWOFF] Flying Lotus Mount

(1/3) > >>

inico:
Hello everyone! I'm working on a flying lotus mount. The texture was painted by hand. It was one of the vast number of projects that I left unfinished but decided to continue today (I get bored easily, so i leave almost everything unfinished).

What tool do you use for creating animated models? Looks awesome, man.

I used 3Ds Max for modeling and Photoshop + graphics tablet for texture painting. For animations I usually use 3ds Max, Mdlvis and PyModelEditor. Glad you liked it!

Supora:
yeah! Another cool model from you, man. BTW i like the book mount more than this. But of course it's just my opinion.

So maybe you can give us some hints on how to get anims from 3ds max to mdlvis. I think it would be helpful for many members. And Skarn will add it to his tutorial.

You can use a plugin like NeoDex to export models from 3dsmax to Warcraft 3 and open them in MDLVIS. The main problem is that some animation keys are lost or get screwed during the process so you need to "repair" them manually with notepad and MDLVIS. Also, all animations need to be linear.
Animating is a long, painful process at least for me. Now consider that it's even harder to import a custom animation into wow. i try to avoid animating as much as possible.
