i wasn't keen on the super blue specular map :(
i took the diffuse map and gave it bubble wrap filter and increased the contrast. any reason you made specular so blue? o.0
I just followed what zerg units had. Blue specular. It helps in giving it the gooey specular. It would make it look like it's covered with goo or some slime. Or some kind of flesh.
Beautiful. Perfect. Keep up the amazing work once again. =)
You should really show this to Blizzard though, they might hire you! If not, I'm sure you'll be featured on the SC2 website.
Great job with defiler. The thing though, is each model is somewhat of a shell. They don't seem organic enough imo. Plus some dimensions and whatnot seem a little off. The Defiler especially looks odd o.o
All in all though your doing a better job than I could ever do. It would be awesome if you could remake the creep colony, sunken colony, spore colony, queens nest etc. All the buildings missing from SC2 that we're in SC1 at some point. Blizzard wont hand them out like they said they would.
The Defiler is not a sea creature. Look at the SC1 portrait. It has a face akin to the other Zerg creatures, such as the Hydralisk and Lurker.
It looks good despite that, but it could use a more organic shading. There's a bit too much hard team color (make it more fluid like the rest of the Zerg's units' team color) the black or dark brown outlines separating each parts are too flat and thick. Needs more sharpening via bump mapping.
EDIT: Nevermind the face comment, it's a hammerhead face, which even was shown in SC2 concepts. They just decided that for the comics and in SC2 (Defiler Bone Sample), it would no longer look like a sea creature, despite the fact they had designed a hammerhead portrait for it in development. However, I think you should still try to fit a face somehow in there, IMO.
Alex, thoughts well received and duly noted. Will try a more fleshy one. Though personally I prefer a more insect-like, centipede-scorpion hybrid defiler. It just felt that way, imo.
Looks awesome in general, but a little... hmmm... "skinny"? Also, do you want to add attack or spell animations? Would be most useful to many people ;)
From scratch.

You deserve a reward of some kind.

You can do as you please with it though.

Did you purposely leave the bottom of the queen blank?
Yeah, I did.

Impressive!
Does the Defiler not have a longer tail?
No animations yet.

My favourite is the carrier model, but all the others look great, too. Awesome work.
@Pfaeff: Go

As always your work is killer. Blizzard must hire you in their team and LEARN how to remake REAL Starcraft 1 models.
lol. Thanks man. I'm sure they can do better. It's just their art direction being one with exaggerated proportions and all.
Starkiller, which specific dimensions are you referring to? So I can fix it prior skinning and animating.

Stand and Walk animations.

im not sure about it having it's tail up in the hair
defilers seemed to traditionally slink as low as possible to the ground
I'll just add another animation for walk. The one exactly like in starcraft/BW.

yes they'll be added. Load/unload and burrow/unburrow as well.
