Suggestions and comments are welcome! Oh, and I also attached the concept art (made by Werewulf) based on which I made this model.

Hmm, I really don't like that smoothing look, but I guess that's because it's not a render. Did you make it in the VertexModifer then import (doing so generally causes that look)?

No, I made it in 3dsmax 5, smoothed it and then just screenshoted. I don't usually render!

i like the model but i hate my pic...

I agree with tim.

Oh yes Daelin I found out you were having problems using the "upload file from a direction" thing, I fixed it, my detector of suspicious urls was thinking any url with an 's' was suspicious...

Try applying a different smoothing technique, that one seems very unappealing.

it looks sorta like a cake, I don't likt it very much, try making the corners sharp and defined and make the levels go up like this

l_
//l

instead of

l
/\
//\

Hmmm Daelin u forgot to say this model is for RotHE, and i this it would be better to wait untill it is UV mapped because somethings mightnt seem so appealing.

its missing the "ziggurat things". gave up on them?

I just updated with the finished product! Skin my Blizzard, everything else by me!

add the spikes in the concept and i'd like it more, otherwise the crystal is really good looking.

Much better, that's more of what I expect from someone like you.

Now what race is this for, it is an extremely awesome model..but what RACE!?!?!

Game Slave: The model is pretty high-poly already. I could've added the spikes but no, it's a little bit too much.

Tim: Thanks!

THE END: This is a model for "Revival of the High Elves" project. The project is introducing a new race: the High Elves. If you want to read more about the project check my signature. I just updated it with my latest signature for it. ;)

Oh, and if you're wondering why the buttons in the signature, guys, it's because I also have a flash version, in which I implemented a menu. So yes, those buttons were actually linking to a different page. And since we came to this, is there any way I can implement a flash code into the signature?
