SC2Mapster

Hi guys, after seeing the cool tutorials from Zolden, and asking him how he did this ( Thnx dude)

I decided to give it a try

So here is my first recorded tutorial EVER:

NOTE: don't know what happened but the first 15 seconds are blanc... sorry :/

Please give me some feedback on.. everything, my voice tone, the length of the video, quality of sound and video, if it was interesting or boring...

Anyways hope someone likes it.

Really, no one... I'm that bad :/

I think the interest in the artist tavern and the art aspects of sc2 are limited to a select few who frequent this forum, some of which are attempting to make tutorials for a largely nonexistent audience. It's not really that your bad its just that there's really not that many people with said interest here... If you want some real attention you should move to a different mod community, such as skyrim nexus, or maybe minecraft if that's your thing. I really wish there was more interest here, but i doubt its going to get better.

Or maybe polycount.com if your just into modeling, the community there is very active and will be sure to help you become much better very quickly. the people there are pretty great.

Thnx Phanalax, I love polycount, I'm just not THAT good.

I really do not like minecraft, I had my share of "bloky" things on the Commodre 64 :p

T.

A very good beginning, these tutorials will help lots of people, nice work!

Glad you started making tutorials, this video is helpful indeed. And as any tutorial it's interesting for people who need the information you are sharing. Voice is fine, I even a bit envious, cause when english is your first, phonetics just speak for itself.

Thnx guys, I'm planning on doing a few more, smaller I hope

My native language is not English, so I'm glad you liked it !

Ok, in the meantime I did a second tutorial, pretty basic and small,

How to make you model have a SC2 Standard map:

T.

Here is a tutorial that explains the basics of rigging a model, part 1

I also explain how to easely change the names of the mirrored bones using a simple maxscript

Part 2 soonish :p

T.

The soonish is sooner than blizzard's :p

anyway, here is the second part of my rigging tutorial, it sets up the rig with some dummy objects to make your life as an animator easier.

Hope you enjoy it

Nice work Taylor! I normally watch this other guy on Youtube. Your English is quite clear comparitively. Also Helpers and Solvers always made me angry to make, glad to see another video showing how to use them properly.

thnx UncleSatan

next on the list is - skinning - animating & previewing in SC2 editor - particleSystem for SC2

Hope you enjoy the set to tutorials.

Here is a little test I did adding some of zerathul's stuff to the regular, this is kinda what we are going for.

T.

Thanks for this TaylorMouse. I really needed a walkthrough in setting up and gearing up with 3ds max.

really good tutorial, looking forward to a tutorial where you explain how to export it to sc2, been having trouble where the model doesnt even appear in sc2

keep it up! thanks for ur tutorial!

Next tutorial in the series, although not a very long tutorial, it is probably the most time consuming to master it and get it right, except for maybe texturing, if you do it yourself :)

Always open for questions and remarks, of course.

T.

Looks like the 2nd rigging part is broken. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.

[Edit] Uh, wait, nevermind. Youtube's fault.

Just watched the first tutorial. I used to use Milkshape 3D to model with War3, but obviously SC2 is much more complicated. I think it's time to learn 3DS Max :( / :) lolz.

Thanks for the tutorials! I'll definitely be watching the rest and working them through soon.
