StarCraft Model

I would REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY appreciate it if anyone could make a Protoss Dark Archon model. I could really use them. Here's a an artwork of him

This looks like an interestig thing to do, so I'll do it as long as you prove you actually want it and aren't just posting a request on a whim. In order to do that, write a haiku (that is, a poem three lines long with five, seven, and five sylables on each line) comparing and/or contrasting Dark Archons to muffins. I wrote a sample to clarify...


Bwa-ha-ha?

Anyway, my idea here is to narrow down the requests I do to those with requesters that really want them.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT HIM!!!
It's the coolest unit of all. I only did the artwork here to show everyone how cool this thing is! I can't make up a good haiku, but his shields are 200, hp is 25, has no attack, knows Maelstorm, Feedback and Mind Controll, occupies 4 places in a transport unit, and it's created by 2 Dark Templars. Is that OK?

OK, I'll give you it anyway. The texture path is Textures\DarkArchon.blp .

oinkerwinkle, could u PLLEEEAAASSEEE make me 1 of those but in teal instead of red, and also a lil team color?

Wow oinkerwinkle, this one is really food (edit : I meant "good" of course). It is not a very academic one (if you see what I mean, maybe a little too cartoony for the starcraft universe), but it has something I can't describe that is really near to some concepts. If only he had a spell animation...

Do you mean the other type of archon?

I added team color and a spell animation:

Thanx for the quick update.

Nice one, oinkerwinkle! But I can't get it in the editor if I use this path :( And the face must really be a face, and the body must look a like it it is a body. Those team color things are a little too big. Still a nice model!

u use the .mdx file to import the model file into world editor
just import it and remove the warIIIimported crap leaving it w/ the original name

The new one is cool but it has something weird : the things turning around the archon are not very great, they look like real matter and not like the sort of little stars you can see in BroodWar. I think you should replace them with a particle emitter the one on the light of the marine model.

no i didnt mean the normal archon i was just hoping you could recolor your dark archon to be a greenish teal color with the team color ^_^

hmmm... i just saw this... maybe you could do something based off geoset merge between lich+shade? also, move the particle-cloud a lil farther up and enlarge it some, +more egg shaped. in SC it was covering the top of head. but believe me, this is by far the best DA ive seen dude =D now hop to on a DT :P

edit:
lich for the body+robes (remove/alpha out the bones) then the shade for hands/head

*calls up that person who made the elementals in the download section*
Listen here, I have a new lord and master now, Oinkerwinkle!

Anywho, if you could make the normal Arch (It seems easy to me, just rename the spell animation to attack, change the RBG thingies of the particle emiter to be more teal and ditch that shoulder armor) you would be the most awsome moddeler ever... But you're already the most awsome moddelor ever... Mecheon head hurt @_@

Oh yes... that haiku thing

The tale of Muffin

And congrats on getting the moderator job for this forum as well :D

Ok, I can't ignore Mecheon after that. :P I've started on that archon. Removing the shoulder pads would leave the dark archon without a body, and there are some other distinct differences like having arms, so I just staring from scratch. I plan I changing the emitters some still, and then I just have to animate.
