[Request] Black Hole

I'd like a modification of the Eye of Sargeras model to make it appear more like a black hole (not that 0,0,0 tinted DotA shit).

These are the following modifications I would appreciate:
  • The main body is black
  • Over the black surface, a few pulsing energy bolts
  • The overall energy colour to be blue
  • The ribbons have a very bright blue texture
  • The death animation would be a bright blue wave of an electric-like texture
  • The greenish glow around the body be replaced by a bluish glow
  • No custom textures
  • Preferably a file size below 100kb

I hope for a positive repsonse, and thanks ahead.

I know this is in no way what you've said you're looking for, but Mc ! made a black hole model that Blade.dk used in this spellpack if you need an alternative.

I already have the 2 black hole models (Mc ! and Carrington2k) and they aren't 100% what I need... barely fit in with 80%.

Thanks for reminding me of that one, though.

Magos' Model Editor is your friend?

Follow the tuts for getting textures out the MPQ, then edit the materials to cope with them. Finally, go into the emitters and any geosetanims with colour and change the colours.

Thanks, but... I use Mac...

You can actually edit .mdl files on a Mac via TextEdit, but there's no way to convert from .mdx —> .mdl and back.

I tried doing a texture change, but I failed miserably...

I can make one... Just one question, should I remove the main "body" geometry and add some particles to make it seem like its sucking things in?

Hm... what do you mean by removing the main "body", the big sphere in the middle?

EDIT! - This is sort of what I want...

Holy shit! That's the best freakin' black hole I've ever seen in WC3!

It'd be a crime to let it go without rep!

Truly the Almighty, thanks!
