How do you want voice acting applications?

Maybe this sounds insulting, but can you try to work on the mapping/modding instead of the models?
I mean yeah, they look godly, but the models take longer than map/modding.

Making a modle doesn't require much time.
You only need to design 1 3D-Model per frame-set, the texture takes long if you do it by yourself and the rendering goes fast.
EDIT: Corbo is right, my fault, sorry

I can assure you that plenty of maps and a goodly amount of moddery has been done.


Except that they have a certain mentally handicapped hat working on the AI's.

That is absolutely wrong.
Of course the model if most of the times longer in creating than the rendering but that doesn't make it fast.
I can most likely say that creating a texture is as long as the model and usually harder as well as it requires far more test renders.

I have done architectural models that take around 18 hours to render one single frame.
The texturing you just say it's fast because you've never painted your own textures and most likely never used UVW unwrap correctly.


SgtHK> I have seen all of your youtube videos already a long time ago.
I even saw the physics presentation thing
They're all pretty amazing.

Half of our time has been on the map and mod work. We just can't show to you our mapping progress for obvious reasons Even though what you said was true about 3d models taking longer to make, we try to keep the CGI progress from lagging behind the map and mod work


I agree with you. Texturing a model well takes almost twice as long (for me, at least) than to actually make the model. The 3d mesh forms the structure of your model. But it's the textures that really make it shine. And thanks I appreciate your comment

Yes, sorry... I edited post...

Maybe. I don't remember.

Well we would prefer them to be raw and unedited.

god dammit, i just keep finding better and better mods. THIS IS SWEET!! Finish it soon please? lol

I'd like to let you all know that the Vanguard sprite is finally finished

Looks nice.

That is impressive! That unit seamlessly blends in with the standard Protoss units. Impressive, especially since it's an infantry unit with all of its various animations, frames, etc.

The blades don't convince me that much like the rest of the unit. It basically looks like it's not part of the unit since the width decreases where it joins in the arm and the fact that it's a little too bright.

I still like the phlanax more

I actually thought that those were muzzle flashes for a while...

Not to be picky but I think the Vanguard looks too good. Like it doesn't match the rest of SC.

The alpha version of Tormidal's unit portrait is now out ^_^

We still need to trim it down to the proper dimensions and the proper frame count to port it into SCBW. In this update we were mainly focusing on the lighting and atmosphere.

Also, our gallery site has been updated with a ton of goodies. Check them out.

1 question?
Campaign involved with this?

Yes. When the SoW team says total conversion expansion, they mean an TOTAL conversion EXPANSION.

Nice portrait! That is pro-league. I so wish I had the time to explore and study 3dsmax more. I've only scratched the surface of the program.

NO. SoW is NOT a TC. It's an Expansion and a campaign. A TC changes Starcraft, SoW ADDS to Starcraft. They're just going the extra mile in that department!
