I forgot where, but some of the sc2 art guys said they wanted the viking's air mode to be more like the valkyrie than a fighter like the wraith. I'm guessing in lore, it's more of a heavy long-range missile platform than a true dogfighting fighter. (like a Y-Wing, rather than X-wing, in star wars)Quote:

Carrier I can get used to, but everytime I see the Archon, I want to cry.
My favorite unit was so because he looked like raw energy with nothing like clothes to hinder him. But now he has clothes(Or rather, he IS the clothes) that make him look big and bulky instead of sleek and majestic.
And the attack animation.... ugh. Shake my hand? LOL ZAPPED
My favorites:
Protoss - Immortal (just a really cool looking unit; blows the stalker / dragoon out of the water)
Terran - Viking (the transformation is impressive and the ground form is surprisingly cool)
Zerg - Corrupter (the tentacles are very cool)
heh, i'm totally against the current immortal model. the artwork kicks arse, but the ingame model just doesn't cut it. it's not curvy enough. sorry immortal, you just don't fit my physical needs.Quote:

It also has a strong Egyptian vibe to it which I appreciate. I also really like how it's shields look. Everything about the unit seems strong to me when I see it in game.Quote:

I love all the current in game models, they are very pleasing to the eye in my opinion and still hold that Starcraft Sci-fi feel to them.
I don't understand when over the years people have said it's not gritty enough like the first Starcraft. That mainly has to do with the game engine than anything else. I mean of course it's gonna look more vibrant and detailed because we have better technology now.
Graphics wise, I'd take the SC2 models over the SC1 models any day.
Erm... why would it need to be leaner? Space is a vacuum. You don't need aerodynamics. :DQuote:

Uploaded Zerg, New format.
Great job! the buildings look great, although I think some of the units still need a bit more polish. Btw I hope the animation for the zergling and the spire morph aren't definite.Quote:

Its still captured in 1080. The only difference is it is in motion. The thing about the Zerg is, you can't really capture them in still images like Protoss or Terran. They are by nature very organic. If feedback -really- wants pictures instead of images, I'll do that instead. For the time being, I will work on Protoss and Terran videos.
Also, I'm open to any request you guys have. So if you want to see anything in specific, I'll be happy to oblige.
Wow - Hadn't realized the Thor had been changed that much. I think I liked the original Banshee more than the current.
Really great work, now, may I make you a request? Im eager to see some deaths animations. I bet you can handle that, right? Good luck, and thank you for all the efforts!
Anything in specific? :)Quote:

Alrighty ^^
That head sticking out of the Stalker is going to drive me insane.
No, Blizzard.
No.
Whats wrong with it? In my (not so) humble opinion, its gives the mood of an imperfect, un-khalaish (ok, ok...that word doesnt exists, pardon me grammar) and desperate attempt from the dark templars top emulate the dragoons and to continue fightning. Desperates times requirers desperate and grim ways. Must love it
The Stalker isn't so bad. Its nice to see how the Protoss have merged in this game. Before it was all Khalai Protoss weapons and armor. Now we have things of ancient past (Colossi/Mothership) and weapons straight from the Dark Templar (Stalkers, Void Rays).
The distinction of Gold and dark blue/gray is very entertaining to me when looking at a Protoss base ;P
So Broodlords have little baby Broodlords follow them around? Or are the smaller ones way off in the distance?
A Brood Lord produces two Broodlings that follow it; whenever the previous pair are flung into battle, a few seconds later another pair pops out.Quote:

Okay so... that just grossed me out beyond belief. I'm going to go vomit now thanks.Quote:

Yeah, Surinam frogs are freaky. The female presses the eggs into the male's back. (Or is it vice versa?) I just wonder how evolution came up with that one?
Can you post the Broodling spawning? They look exactly like the Brood Lord. Neat.
I have a video uploading at the moment. I just noticed what you meant so I didn't get it in the original capture. I do want to say that they do look just like the Brood Lord itself on a smaller scale. What the video doesn't capture is that the Broodlings have tiny claws and legs under the "wings" which is what they use to walk/attack after they are shot at the enemy. Video should be up soon.Quote:

Engineering Bay, yes.
Ghost Academy is grounded until the end of time ^^
Please excuse double post;
Zerg Attack Animations have been uploaded in Full 1080 HD! Check out the main post.
That video is great, thanks for your efforts! What are the chances you can compile a similar video for the Protoss?Quote:

Small note: they only regrow one at a time, to a maximum of two.Quote:

Speaking of which, that might be a strong Tier 3 upgrade for BLs: increasing the number that they can carry. When they throw two Broodlings, they do double damage, so if they could carry 3, they'd do triple damage on the first shot.
Really nice work, thanks so much!
If it's not too much to ask though, when you do protoss/terran can you use a different transition? That "slide-to-the-left" thing gives me a headache >_>
thanks much for all your work! <3
LOL at that Thor transportation. That just look physically impossible given the disparity in sizes.
Maybe they could add special docking clamps on the medivac?
Im fine with the way it is.Quote:
