Anim8tor used in Warlords Battlecry 3 MOD
« on: June 19, 2008, 09:08:07 am »

Hello Folks
I am a Modder working on a MOD for Warlords Battlecry 3 a Real time Stragedy game by the makers of the popular turn based classic Warlords. I just completed a MOD and released it to the public and it features 4 models and animations I did using the Anim8tor software. Go to to see screenshots.
http://www.freewebs.com/warlordsfoever/mymodproject.htm

They are shrunk pretty small so they don't need a huge amount of detail. I had to do 7 sequences from 8 different directions twice once with shadows once without. Any good tips appreciated as I'm just learning.

I don't know if the troll's belly will look right, even with the compression...

I had to change the format to gif so the quality looks pretty bad but you get the picture

nice for being a starter! when i first began using anim8or, i didn't do anything on the scale of a mod for a game :)

the only tip i can make is to keep learning anim8or's features, and then naturally your models and animations will look better! also look at tutorials covering modeling techniques and uvmapping and texturing

You are correct the models will look better with more practice I am still not great at
some areas but it's fun to learn and at the same time have something to try you stuff in.

I think for the in game images, you need more shading, otherwise nice work

This is just an update I released a second version of my MOD sometime back containing even more models. Here is a sample of just a couple of the new models.
