Yes, you are right. It wasn't phrased very good so let me get this clear again: It was always about the "next gen". For me, next gen means next generation. This is, better than one can currently see in medicore games. Next gen is the direction where everything goes to.
This model is definitely not a milestone and not next gen, I was a bit amazed by ratchets statement that it was next gen so I asked a bit sarcastic if there was another model he hasn't showed us yet.
All in all, I never wanted to say that the model is trash! Its better than every model I will be able to make in my life!


My second post was to clarify why I wrote the first post, the last question ("Are you a troll?") was serious because he already started with the caps and made a lot of false claims and interpreted things into my words that were just stupid.
My third post was also meant to clarify things and show him that he acts a bit stupid, but I began to lose my patience.
The last post was written because I was seriously angry about what he wrote and I didn't wanted to let it uncomment.

Just to clarify things once and for all:
IT'S A GOBLIN AND NOT A TROLL

Does this mean that you didn't recognise that ratchet already was deeply hurt by your first statement?

To me that was obvious, and I consider taking words of someone literally
who is in rage and sad about the critics is like putting
a knife into his wounds and turn it around.

I agree with lostclimate that 7 days is quite harsh.
And Sid had his inappropriate part, too.

There is no need to argue when you see that you already hurt someone.
The appropriate reaction in this case is to leave it as it is,
and to give the criticised person time to calm down
and to get an eased view on the critic
- even, if it lasts some months or more.

EDIT:
Ah, and talking about meanings of the word 'next-gen'.
The word 'troll' seems to be used in different and unclear ways, too.

I like the model. Tried making a goblin for this thread a while ago. I just can't seem to finish it. And it's more of a troll now than a goblin.
It's next-gen(tm) lowpoly though!

@Pappenheimer :
Sure, the sword example was really not placed here at all,
it must remain between martial art talks like me and my masters only, it has nothing to do here or anyhwhere outside of the dojo. It was more to have the last word i talked that to mean, stop moving (posting) or you'll go in the bad direction,finally that' me that have gonna in the bad direction and finished banned !

-----------------

@JustSid :
I just would want to escuse me to you my friend.
Even if you would dislike anything or says the model is bad ,
or you dislike what i post, i can really live with it.
I could also just argue a little only, or simply ignore the comments if i didn't like them !
In fact i mixed too much the model thread with the really bad week at work and what occured in my personnal life (lot of disappointment and deception ) ; i had also co cotninue at home, all that with a very bad week personnaly, it was a bad week.
--------------
I don't says that to thanks to come back, i just say it caus it's normal and i think i've really gonna too stupid on the wrong way , so :

MY APOLOGISES JustSid !

--------------------------

I seen i was banned, but i realmized finally after been banned , that i really couldn't miss AUM100, not a ban, not a Tsunami , not Fukushima could stop me to give it to community

So this week , i rigged and animated the goblin model, and i was prepared to create another 3DGS user profile , for sending the goblin to Georges !
Within the 30 or 31 of the month , i think it will be ready.

I'll pack the model with two textures versions :
- textures i did (if i have time i'll try to paint another version)
- Ambient occlusion texture in diffuse , normal and specular
empty, ready to paint : that way people can really paint it as they wishes or make variations.
----------

It's a good lesson what happened for me, really.
And i should produce lot more instead of posting too much

Animating in Blender.


So i added more polygons to round in some areas to please as much people i can.
The simple weapons are placeholders , just to verify aniamtion don't do bad things like putting weapon through the floor when walking.
Anyone will be able to attach hi own weapons (there are a lot fo good and free you can find throught internet).

glad to see you're completing it and welcome back!

Thanks MrGuest.

--------------

It's finished.
It's not Next Gen , but it's better than low poly things on Iphone games

2 textures version :

- warrhammer version
- version ready to paint : Diffuse with baked normal map only
This version can be ready goo to practice hand painting on the maps.

Animations : I put all on 250 Frames, so you'll have to use
Time Step factor to slow down animations (i put a subtile hears movement also)
- idle
- walk
- idlefight (idle for fight)
- block
- attack
- run

I was limited to 250 frames on MED, is there a way to increase them ?
Cause fall down of the character is missing , only people using ragdoll will not mind !

-----------------

The basic shapes of weapon and shield are not in the final model, they were place holder for animation work.

Diffuse, Normal,Specular :


Diffuse only (with baked normal map as base , ready for paint over ) :

Download

it contains :
- MDL goblin Wharramer version :
skin 1 : diffuse
skin 2 : normal
skin 3 : specular
- MDL Goblin "Ready to Color" Version :
skin 1 : Diffuse texture (baked normal map)
- Blender file, ready for modifying animations or model
- All 6 textures of the 2 versions : Wharramer textures version and ready to paint textures version.



Download Link :
Final Download

I'll put another Link with more animations and better made,
in MED i did'nt find real numerotation of Blender animation
frames, so it's a little strange on some loops !


Happy download !
I hope someone will find a use of it

ratchet, it's amazing. Wow, very detailled.

good job!
