[mwip] Overlord Hive

coil · May 2003

I also always got the impression that the overlord's body was less "pile of mashed potatos"-shaped, and more "giant lima bean"-shaped. From the side, that is.

Ollj · May 2003

the problem is there is 2 versions of the overlord.
the classic one is really small. 100*100 pixel pictures.
The detailed one looks completely different in its details.
So im triing to make a good looking one in between.

Pykmi · May 2003

I think actually the side of it looks like a pile of mashed potatos. Just take a look at the picture below. With a decent skin you should be able to make the body look like that.

Just one thing with the model, I think it needs a few more spikes.

I think you should change the front claws like sylver said.

XenoHazard · May 2003

THats the first consitancy between SC nd Ghost I've ever seen.

DocterJ · May 2003

If anyone meshes this, can you release it on the forum? I'd love to take a shot skinning it.

Battousaix · May 2003

wow, looks cool, i just hope that the skins and the animations are as cool as the model

enf0rcer · May 2003

dunno who will do either. ollj is perfecting the model right now by adding his magical touch..... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Pykmi · May 2003

Yea, i too hope the skins and the animations are cool too <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

The animations will be perfect tho, because Pvt. Hudson is doing them <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Ollj · May 2003

that legs suck. i remade them once (lowpoly) but they still suck.
Im gonna make it look like this:
(actual poly count 1150)

Sylver · May 2003

Nice <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

If it comes out like the Ghost concept it would be perfect !!!

enf0rcer · May 2003

cool. Will you be meshing this as well? just wondering <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Ollj · May 2003

still fixing small stuff.

Pvt_Hudson · May 2003

Nice <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Ollj · May 2003

Legs, arms, mouth 100% redone.
Everything else 75% redone.
Mesh and Bone system without assignment included.
1426 polygons
Once again just fine adjustment needed (maybe 2 tiny bugs, one in the mouth one in the neck).
mdl file:

Ollj · May 2003

the compiler killed my bone system so here is the ms3d.

Commander · May 2003

nice but it still needs the second little thing on the front claws.

Ollj · May 2003

what you mean?
2 fingers or a second hand segment?
whats wrong apart from crappy reference screenshot material?

Commander · May 2003

Something like the picture. It may not be like ghost but it was in the original StarCraft like that.

enf0rcer · May 2003

yea that and you should scale the beak thing bigger... they are like 2 times the size of the head in starcraft althought that might look dubm so just a bit bigger. PLus They should be angled down a bit not just straight out you kno? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Pvt_Hudson · May 2003

when u are done, please post a locked down version of it, so that i can animate it.
what i mean by locked down version is that no further changes will be made on that version. because once the vertices are assigned to the bones, any changes no matter how insignificant will distort animations.

Nice work btw.

Commander · May 2003

Make the hive gib when it dies! That would rock so much!

enf0rcer · May 2003

that would have to be hard coded. Can't wait to see what the animes will look like. Hudson if u dont mind i'd like to test with you this time around?

e/ and why dont u use that sig i made for you !!!! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'> .. lol

sure, this will speed up the testing process. on the other hand, there are not too many things to be tested, not as many as ultralisk. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>
i will let u know when it is time for testing. Thanks <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

as for that signature, although i like it, but i prefer not to use signatures, any signature. it's just me.
but thanks anyway.

Iced_Eagle · May 2003

cant wait for this baby to get done! i love ur guys work <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Pvt_Hudson · May 2003

just wondering is anyone working on teh skinning?

Ollj · May 2003

This model will have no big changings and can get skinned.

Sylver · May 2003

<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> New tentacles look very nice!

Also good to see you put his weird cheek thingies back on.

Pvt_Hudson · May 2003

is anyone working on teh skin?
is the model finally locked down?

enf0rcer · May 2003

you can start animations i think. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> .. that is if your going to do them <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>. Or if you dont want to start without knowing it'll be finished you could animate my zergling model.... pleeeeeeeaassseee. I'd be happy even if you hacked up the other zergling animations. I just wanna see it ingame. I'll have a craptastic skin done soon. Maybe hyper will reskin it after it's released. who knows.
