Oh my god, what the hell is happening? TheSecretArts is starting a texture what is this????
Yeah, I'm actually seriously considering texturing this bad-boy, making it the first model I've ever made fully from scratch, including textures. The one thing I have done so far isn't great, but hey, it's a start.
I've finished the model and the uv and I'm going to see about maybe making a texture for it (if I feel like it : / ). It is 1039 trigons total. Pictures below!
I go to a local Community College for Electrical Engineering Technology, i rather have hands on experience than learn the theory stuff i can teach myself haha. My school has more tech in our labs than the major universities in the state (NC, so UNC Chapel Hill, UNC Charlotte, NC State).
My professor also teaches via Game programming, so its fun. How many of you can say you programmed a bipedal Robot to walk!? (Edit: And that was in a C Programming course haha!)
I taught myself to program a specially-designed roomba-ish robot to move by experimenting with existing code and made it do cool stuff, does that count?
I'm heading to college this year... Stony Brook University to be precise. Computer Science major, hoping to do Computer Programming, specifically Game Programming and maybe a minor in mathematics. Going for a B.S./M.S. combined 5-year accelerated program (hopefully).
What about other college-bound SC2 mappers? I wants to meet more of you guys!
well i do hope we get to see them, as the wc3 models look like garbage now. the wow models would give us an avenue for playing with fantasy instead of sci fi... i do wonder what models they will give us with release in relation to wc3. i guess the tauren marine would be an obvious, but sometimes they throw in other stuff, we could see a blizz uther in sc2 release or something. seeing osmething like that would relax people a bit.... though i guess it has nothing to do with the legalities.
i do ownder what they would do if you used wow models and then made people pay for your map... they would be pissed that we took 2 dollars from their 20 million a month income off wow.... fuckin pigs....
20 million a month in income is not the same as 20 million a month in profit. It's a corporation, they want to maximize profits, get over it. The same goes for any game if you want to use their art. Most companies, even little ones, are against use of the original artwork. For example, when I asked Ambrosia Software if I could use their intellectual property, specifically the name, storyline, and related ideas from Escape Velocity: Nova, they said they were perfectly fine with it, under the condition that I didn't use the artwork that came with the game and I didn't charge any money for it. Thats how it works.
Though I'm quite sure they won't care if you export from Warcraft 3, but from World of Warcraft will make them more wary, but probably not a problem.
Ok, thanks for the opinion. I guess I'll go through with it and buy it in the next week or two (I hope the price doesn't change). The only downside with this laptop is the hard drive speed is around 5400 RPM rather than 7200, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

That model would be the hugest hugest pain EVER to texture and uv. I don't even want to think about it lol.

I was expecting a ridiculous battle scene where your only chance to win was by micro : /
edit: wow, that map is intense.

Nah, people just aren't as sheeple-ly as the blizzard forums, else I'd troll a bit ;)

A scripting competition. People create a system to solve a issue or problem. The voting would be hard though... (thats why I prefer judging)

student trial (14 months I think) / discount makes it somewhat affordable.

This bum won't finish. Good submissions so far however!
