Fantasy Mod Pack

So, when the Dragon Playertypes mod was released, after i tested them, i was disapointed with the lack of Ridable-ness, and mixture between flying and walking. So out of curiosity, I started modeling one.

Around 5 months later, I saw a request of a Goblin in the Suggestions and Requests section, although I was, and still am working on the Dragon, I thought i would give a Goblin a shot. As its been requested a few times. And after 4-5 hours, i have made a model IMO nearly good enough to be animated, textured and scripted. But i want your opinons before i continue. So, lets begin.




Nodes:
head
lear (Left ear)
rear (Right ear)
chest
larm (Left arm)
rarm (Right arm)
lhand (Left hand)
rhand (Right hand)
pants (Behind rags)
rags
lfoot (Left foot)
rfoot (Right foot)
nose
helm

Tell me what needs improving. I am not going to add full legs or arms though. I made this from scratch, but based most of it off the Minifig. The rest (Ears, rags) I made up on the spot.

I will be animating, texturing, and possably scripting it myself. However, help will most likly be needed for animations and scripting. Possably texturing and joints aswell.


As for the dragon;



That was v3 of the model. v1 is old, and I didnt get any pics of v2. I plan on animating the root to make the dragon look like its breathing. I will be remaking the wings and adding legs. I have already made a neck, but I havent got a picture of it. The bones are mostly done, but the joints arn't. This I again will need help with for the correct names and functions. As for the accual model, I can handle.

Also, for whatever reason, i added bones (Physical bones) and ribs to the model. No idea why, but i may make the death animation include them somehow. Also, the whole model is quiet high poly, so I may reduce some parts, or remake them.


Beta testers is a huge need, as due to my laptop not being able to run BL. I will probably get a new one before its released though, so no biggie. But if I find the goblin easyer to finish than I think, then i will need trustable testers to tell me in detail whats working, and what isn't.


So, tell me what you think and go vote. If you vote to change something, please tell me what part is bad. Just telling me that the feet are bad helps as much as if you said that the whole thing is bad. I just wont change it. If I continue with these, I will modify the topic to make it look decent and have some sort of order. But for now, im tired.

Good night :P

Okay so... This is my opinion not yours so, so don't think I'm forcing you. Here are just some things I would do if I were you.
-Add an orc, they're bigger, healthier, and hit harder.
-Elves, speedy and agile.
-Gnomes, short.
I hope these  would be included, would be great.

And.. Fix the goblins ears, they look silly.

I plan on animating the root to make the dragon look like its breathing.

From what I've seen, the breathing/idle animation will look glitchy.
Root is meant to be pose.

It should be possible to make a script that plays an idle animation every once and awhile, however. (I still need to experiment with this)

Wow, im supprised that I accualy got replys on this already..

Nice.
Thanks

Although I haven't thought of it yet, something tells me that i would of added a Elf. Orc and Gnomes are good ideas though. Also, I will probably add Dwarfs.
Also, I need some item ideas.

Whats wrong with the ears? How would you fix them? I guess I could make them blocky..

Hmm.. Ill probably name it something like Crouch (Or something that I dont need), but have it played repeatedly. Would that work?

If you can find out, please tell me. Scripting is my lowest side.


Also, if anyone wants to help, feel free to ask.

Bump.

Someone said that the feet-claws wouldn't look so bad if the hands also had claws. So I sharpened the ends of the fingers and thumb. Tell me if its any better.


Also, they wont  be as bright in the finished model. Thats only the way Milkshape shades.

Hooray you used my idea :D It does look better

Widen the ears. Also if you make an elf, make a dark elf too. (Faster, a little bit more agile, ebony black, and taller.) I also think the elves should be tall, it makes them look cooler.

No dark elves!.. Way to emo...

Emos ruin alot of fun. Just like little kids ruined the new dog add on.

You should put more detail into the entire goblin model. As of now it just looks like an unproportioned blockhead. This is very minor but don't draw all over your model, it's distracting and unnecessary.

Be honest... Is it hard to model in blender? Cause i was wondering if its possible download blender learn the controls download blockhead and mod him into a blocko goblin, with the acception of custom rigs, as a beginner. And even if i did, would i have to script the playertype or do i get help from somone whom can script? I used to script but i gave it up so i could play more then work, I am talking about BEFORE i bought blockland. BTW!!! Sorry for all of my selfish actings and such, hope you all can forgive me. From now on i will be kind of normal, but sometimes i have to be whacky so i can feel fresh.

-Snip-

Personly, I have no idea how to made anything in blender. I use Milkshape 3d.

The elves will be the taller type and have pointed ears (Not nearly as much as the Goblin). I refuse to do the smaller type that would be found in Santa's Workshop XD. Also, im not doing a Dark Elf.
Also, yestoday after I made the hand-claws, I remade the ears. I was suppose to post it here, but I was tired.

Seriously, let other people be what they want to be. I respect Emos, they are human.

Although insult chavs all you want :P

Its suppose to look like a unproportioned blockhead. Also, I draw on (Or around) models because its sort of like my signature. Proof that I didnt steal them. [/Paranoid]


As for the new ears:



Tell me what you think. Better or worse. I have a backup incase its better before.
The main change is that I added much more detail. Before it was only 4 vertexs, now its way more. There is a small 'valley' in it aswell, like before.

Also, if you vote, please reply. Although voting helps, it only gives me a general idea of what to change.

EDIT: That first pic is really bad.. Lemme get another one.

I just hate them cause they ruined my gaming life...

And i agree, the new ears are epic.

No, just to show you how simple your model is I made a replica of your goblin:


Something more appropriate would be this troll I designed:



And this only took me an hour. You should go for something more unique.
