Crafting the Ultimate WarCraft 3 Diorama: Undead!

Bigger, better and more work! I'm back with another Warcraft 3 Diorama build from scratch, using a variety of tools, materials and software like fusion 360 and blender to design and 3d print my own models.

As a fan of Warcraft III which flooded my childhood, I personally consider this work really insane. To propose you a base a lot of people wouldn't think of, I want to propose a naga base, based on the last fight of "The Frozen Throne" between Illidan and Arthas. This should be illegally beautiful. Good luck and thanks again for this nostalgia shot.

[@MiniQuest64]

That is a great idea, man... I was instantly thinking about the ice and water effects I could create... Thank you very much for that suggestion, many people asked for Naga, so I think I will tackle that too! But I always thought about the old ruins as terrain, never of Northrend!

Holy ****. The effort that editing must has gone into the Undead Diorama is actually insane. 01:29-01:30 strikes out to me in particular. It must have taken HOURS to sculpt that Citadel, and you merely skimmed over it in less than a SECOND. 4 Months is an absolutely insane amount of time and effort to put into ONE video. The humour, editing, and artistry is truly incredible. Thank you for your time, effort, and patience that you put into this art: I know it must have been trialing to say the least! Very very excited for the Night Elves, please pay extra attention to the Ancient Protectors!

After another very sad day of looking at my KZbin Analytics, loosing more than 60% of my viewers in the first 30 seconds in almost all of my videos and my latest release not getting any more views at all after so much work and time spend, while I still can't figure out what I did wrong of how I can fix this... This comment almost made me tear up. Thank you for this, I really needed this. You, my friend, are a good guy and I appreciate this more than you could ever know.

[@michaelmaunder1121]

@MiniQuest64 i'm very sorry to hear these videos aren't performing as well as we'd all like :( it's a niche hobby and an even more niche diorama subject, but the love and care you hold for this shines brightly and I can safely say us viewers are in awe of your craft. Good luck in creating your next video, and I, and i'm sure everyone else, will look forward to it :D. P.s. your engagement is the comments is very enjoyable, thank you :)

[@michaelmaunder1121]

​@MiniQuest64 also i'll just quickly add, I know that the orc video isn't performing as well as your undead one, but I just wanted to add that, for me personally, I liked the orc video way more! The snappy humour, the vibrant, cartoony aesthetic, and the surprise of Grom at the end(!!!), every WC3 videos shows a marked improvement from the last! Like I said on the orc video, I literally never comment or interact with videos, but seeing your dedication compelled me to interact with the video. Once again, can't wait for the NE, and do my Ancient Protector justice! :D I'm heading to sleep now but when I wake, i'll be subscribing to your Patreon because you absolutely deserve it, and I certainly intend to piggyback off your hard work creating STL models for us all to print ;)

[@Titanscreaming]

I amazed at seeing WC3 game structures being summoned into our physical universe

[@Titanscreaming]

​@@user-rr4fr8pf3j Absolutely in a sense. 1-the nature of virtual objects and 3D graphics is that it is a mathematical simulation of our reality, dimensions, physics engines, ray tracing engines, and so on. Currently, no computer or development platform is powerful enough to mimic reality... Where games exist out of millions of polygons, which need to be rendered and told what to do, our universe exists out of trillions. Our bodies have billions of cells and hundreds of billions of atoms if not trillions that seemingly require no rendering. So physical models are by definition far superior to even the best modern-day graphics. No software or hardware system is so powerful it does all this that life does on a daily whim. Our spectrum ranges from the lowest polycount to the highest. And so, we can sketch and build/ 3D print low poly objects... We could have taken that Ziggurat and modeled it to have millions of polygons, looking far more high-definition and we could have printed that... A realistic, high-detail, textured, sharp, flat model. With modern-day graphics like Unreal Engine 5, those still are a far cry from the real thing, especially with complex things like hair, hair motion, natural flow, positioning, reaction, and cause-and-effect, those things are always glitchy, weird things to look at. Physics in 3D are always unnatural at some point or another but here and there the lines between the physical and virtual are getting more and more blurry my friend. Some more recent studies and projects have truly begun bridging the divide between the virtual senses and the real ones aha. Like for real yo, that was an excellent question, thanks for putting it forward. So one day, I think it is highly likely, that some simulation will be either discovered or artificially created which can be experienced to the full 100% that you and I experience reality today and live in it. Not even knowing what our reality truly is. where, how, what, what is it made out of? what is consciousness and so on?

[@MiniQuest64]

To be honest, I feel the same way! In retrospective, I should have just used a selection of buildings instead of all of them and focus a little bit more on the terrain. For the Orc diorama, I will do just that, design all the buildings, select a few and focus a lot more on terrain. The barrens, with a lot of plants, rocks, hills and the sea! Maybe a couple of Murloc huts too. I'ts going to be so much better, promise =)
