Brodin Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 This is going to be a LOT of fun. I've decided to make a Starcraft Zealot. I don't know if it's been done before or not, but I'm hopin to make a real cool model. Hopefully I'll get some help from my friend Matt-Liell for details later on. I haven't really got anything to post so far, but I will be working on this a lot and will post as soon as I have what I think is worth posting. Heres the image I'm basing it off of.... EDIT: The site with the image i was using has dissappeared, so i posted a new one.
Matt-Liell Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 This will be REALLY cool when its done! Look forward to seeing your work!
Brodin Posted March 23, 2003 Author Posted March 23, 2003 Humm your posting but your not on MSN! Auugh! Hey, if you contact me via MSN, ill be willing to show you my small progress. Dont wanna give away small little things to the public just yet .
Matt-Liell Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 Sorry but my bro wants the comp, I'd just like this opportunity to offer my services as a skinner for ya!
Brodin Posted March 23, 2003 Author Posted March 23, 2003 Yup ill probably need a skinner for this. I'lll most likely be makin textures myself.
«¦gøt ƒørçë?¦» Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 nice =) good luck man and i hope this model will be completed 8] Ne0|eD3N:bot2:
SettingShadow Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 Cool, I love starcraft (suck at it/strategy games tho ), and the Zealot is one of the coolest units. I'm looking forward to this. (and may luck be on your side ).
Rebel_Spy Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 that's cool!...I have some reference pics of the head, if you want'em just PM'ed me
Brodin Posted March 24, 2003 Author Posted March 24, 2003 Did some work tonight. Its still pretty basic, the shapes are gonna need an overhaul. This is pretty much waist down.
Darth NeoVenom Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 Very Cool. You know what will be cool, if the Zealot Model can use it'z hand blades instead of using a lightsaber. One question, after you're done doing this model, will you make other Starcraft characters such as different classes of Zealots or like Zergs or Terrians? (did I spell it right ? Or is it Terrans? I don't know )
Brodin Posted March 24, 2003 Author Posted March 24, 2003 Actually i was thinking of doing that. I think ill make it my thing to have a starcraft theme for modelling
Hellfire Jedi Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 Neo, do you have to post in red all the time. It hurts my eyes and I always read it for no apparent reason.

«¦gøt ƒørçë?¦» Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 yeah kinda hard to read wut ur saying,write in black or white Ne0|eD3N:jawa

Brodin Posted March 24, 2003 Author Posted March 24, 2003 I was also thinking i would do that. I could make the tags so that the saber comes out of the arm somehow, then i could make the other arm look all smashed up and stuff to explain why theres no saber there! ahah
Darth NeoVenom Posted March 25, 2003 Posted March 25, 2003 Cool idea Brodin. Sorry for it is annoying typing in red...but it isn't bad around the navy blue background. Right? I just won't post in red when I know there's going to be a gray background.
Brodin Posted March 26, 2003 Author Posted March 26, 2003 I had almost a 2000 poly count with the earlier post i showed you. i managed to cut it down to about 1200 just by cutting the spheres in half. more optimization will occur, and i will post some more updates in a couple days.
T-Dogg Posted March 26, 2003 Posted March 26, 2003 Interesting concept. I wish you the best of luck with this. I love Starcraft, so YOU BETTER GET IT RIGHT! Naw, just playin'. Good luck.
wassup Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Originally posted by Brodin OFF TOPIC: What happened to...ooOOOoOoo BOUNCY!!? I still have bouncy link in my sig...and used to have a bouncy avatar, but LeXX took it off (or some other mod). great choice btw!!
Brodin Posted March 28, 2003 Author Posted March 28, 2003 Minor update: I seem to be a wreck when it comes to making feet. I need some advice on how to shape these. (yes, they are hoove shaped) I am basing the feet off the following picture... and here is what i have so far. Tell me what i should do, in regards to the whole model so far. Thanks.
wedge2211 Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 En taro Adun! The Brood War cutscene at the end of the Protoss campaign has some good views of Protoss feet. This would be very helpful to you, Blizzard released a StarCraft sound extractor utility, that takes all the sounds in game and converts them to .wav files. So you can include all the Protoss Zealot unit sounds with your model.
Brodin Posted March 28, 2003 Author Posted March 28, 2003 Sounds good, but I won't be needing that for a while yet! What I will need is someone to help me with the feet.
