New bits for Warlock

[David-CZ]

UPDATED: 25.8.

Fixed an error where the model wasn't displayed on low settings.

UPDATED: 20.8.

Recently I've been working on a new model for the Dark Reapers but unfortunatelly ran into some problems that are now already solved. Hopefully the model will be completed soon.

In the meantime I made a new pair of horns and shoulderpads for Warlock in order to figure out some stuff and they turned out to look pretty good. So I'm posting a link below so you can try them out and see for yourself.

Extracting the rar into DOW folder should do the thing.

If one of the 'staff' wishes to add it to the ELITE feel free to do it.

I'm also open to critisism or tips and advices.

PS: Hope you like it.

Can you post a screenshot?

[Nuclear Arbitor]

give us a wire frame too.

[Flash]

This it?

[David-CZ]

Yes, Flash, these are the horns. Though the shoulderpads aren't visible in your screenshot due to the army rank.

Here they are:

Sorry for not posting any screenshots in the first place. Don't know what I was thinking.

By wire frame do you mean the FBX file? If so than I suppose it would be easier just to import the model from the .model file as it contains all the stuff needed for it to work. I also have a high poly model in a separate file just for making the texture if that's what you want.

[Indrid]

Looks pretty nice I think.

[Lag]

This looks very badass.

[Torpid]

Agreed, looks sweet.

[Nuclear Arbitor]

wire from is taken from the modeling program and shows the polies. given how far along you are i think you can skip that though; any issues at this point are unlikely to cause significant issues.

[DooM]

Looks nice, do you think its possible to do somthing like this:

I was thinking about adding/editing some stuff on the armour as well but didn't want it to look too fancy. After all I suppose it's seers' armour that is all shiny while warlocks' are more military like. Though I definitely want come back to it. I'd just like to finish the reapers first.

Also thx for something to draw inspiration from.

[Commissar Yarrick]

Perhaps you could make a seer council models in the future?

[David-CZ]

Do you mean completely new separate models?

Anyway I was thinking and would it be possible to make a squad with each member of a different model? I can imagine the Eldar squads would be a good example as they have both male and female in their ranks. This is just a theoretical question as I see the result would not be worth effort.

Also I definitely plan to continue working on new stuff for DOW. If not new units then at least minor adjustments.

[Commissar Yarrick]

I was pointing at making the seer council models look apart from default Warlock model.
One different model or two, Not more not less.

[Nuclear Arbitor]

i want female guardians, even if they only difference is tiny boob plate.

er, dire avengers i guess. there are the weapon teams though.

[Kvek]

Dire Avengers are aspect warriors, guardian defender squad is the "platform squad"

[David-CZ]

But would it be even possible to make the game load two different models for the same unit?

[Kvek]

Yes, tacs have a sergeant model, and 3 tac models

[Lost Son of Nikhel]

Or the GK Paladins.

[Nuclear Arbitor]

ideally it would be random. i know you can have different models in the same squad though because of catachans. i would settle for a set 2/5 models having boob plate though.

[Batpimp]

this looks great!

[Lulgrim]

Looks great, I'll implement it as rank unlock when the textures are final.

[Asmon]

Uh really? I actually much prefer my current WL.

[Dineil]

i do like the new cosmetic changes a lot... he looks much more like a leader than before!

[Dark Riku]

Uh really? I actually much prefer my current WL.

Use visual mods that are out there

[Lulgrim]

The new models are now included in next build as rank unlocks.
