Balverine Model Pack

Balverine Model Pack

Made by: Dan van Ohllus

Character description:
Ferocious beasts that feasts on human flesh. Their bite can also infect a human so that he/she will also become a Balverine.

Model description:
Based on the Ghoul model and the Wolf model. Changed the UV so that the models don't use any custom textures. Also reshaped the bodies to make them less skinny.

Package information:
The package includes different Balverine models with icons and portraits. The models use no custom textures so you can just import them and restart WE.

GIVE ME CREDITS IF YOU USE THESE MODELS IN YOUR MAP!!!

Feel free to edit this resource for your projects as long as you credit me for the resource you based it from, so please disregard the outdated permission part in the readme file.

Enjoy! ;)

EDIT2:
Hole fixed! YAY! Thanks olofmoleman for the hint. ;)

EDIT3:
Did some updates on the models. Will make a changelog later.

I can see a gray rectangle in the white one, you better fix that else the model guys won't like this..

The problem is that the grey rectangle is a hole (the hole was there when the model was still a ghoul) and has nothing to do with the UV. I could snap the holes together but two geosets somewhat linked (but not connected) together there, and I don't to take any risk for screwing up the animations. However, the hole will not be noticed in-game and that's good.

But let's see about the modeller's opinion.

Fix the hole. That's a major flaw. There have been others made to edit their models for less visible issues, so I suggest you do that.

Mmm Fable wolves ftw.

OK, I'll see what I can do with the hole. (Hopefully will update them at least next day)

Reminds me of the Druids Wolf form from Diablo II, great idea by the way.

Whoa! Never expect that the hole-fixing would be such a problem.

-The rectangled hole uses five vertex points, so snapping them together wont do well if I don't want to make the UV look weird in the chest.

-Just covering the hole by moving the vertex won't do either because the hole will still show up when the model animates.

-I also tried to extrude some parts near the hole and connect them, but that screwed up the chest when animating.

-As said before, there are two different geosets near the hole, and Oinkerwinkle's Vertex Modify only allows me to modify one geoset at a time.
No, merging geosets will only screw up the animations.

Is there any way in Oinkerwinkle's Vertex Modify to cover (or fill) the hole by making a new facepoint (or face)?
Because I probably need some help and hints on this flaw.

Edit: Mods may approve this model pack if they want, but I'll try to fix the holes starting with olofmoleman's hint.


...stupid Blizzard and their Ghoul model with a hole on it's chest!

The hole is a flaw yes, but I bet you'll never see that ingame, so in my opinion I it can be approved without fixing it, BUT you should try to fix it non the less because it's more proffesional and just better.

It's possible to fix it with vertex modifier, it jsut takes a bit of skill and a lot of time. take a look at the Deathknight model, then at my Nazgul rider model, you'll notice the Deathknight has holes in the Horse's neck, and my Nazgul doesn't, I fixed that by copying one vertex and placing it in the right place, then welding it to the hole, making the copied vertex to adopt the anims of the holes.

Hmm, I guess you guys may approve this pack.

Thanks for your hint, olof. I'll try your method to see if it works on the Balverines. I'll give you a rep.

i like it. plus rep for you.

The flaw has become flawless! Hole fixed and updated the models and screenshots.

You deserved that rep very well, olofmoleman. That hint helped me much. Thanks.

Ok, good job. Approved.

ah....good old balverines...but fable gets boring....well.. iv never played it..but my bro has it..and..meh..

anyway, i think the uvwrap is much better on your models, the others iv seen have bad wrap.

GJ+rep

Finnaly, wulf, some love in your sig :D.

Yup, great models, and the size isnt big too!
