Omg.. nice design there! haha. I wonder whether blizzard will have multiple models for each units (like the dark templar).

I can see the new model is so great, even from the default camera view, it's noticeable, make the zealot be a zealot. With the performance problem (if there's any), i think you only have to slightly reduce just a little bit of poly count, like 4 pony tails and the face, decrease down the texture by half so it's not a waste of process memory because in normal game, there's no way we can zoom up close like the first pic in your 1st post to see how detail the texture is.

well so far no performance problem. Ive played replays with this model and it runs perfectly fine. The poly count has been reduced from the original zealot portrait, so its not very heavy at all, the texture however is twice the size of the original zealot texture so i WILL reduce that by half since as you have pointed out, zooming in that far isn't possible in real games. It will still look really good i think.

Looks ugly, seriously. And the high poly count would kill the game (on low-end).

It only looks ugly because of the contrast of detail between the head and body. If all the units had that level of detail then there would be a significant performance hit for little cosmetic gain.

It's fabulous except for one thing: It doesn't fit the low poly of the rest of his body. The head is amazing, but then it contrasts with the rest of the low res body which makes it look a bit out of place. Perhaps decreasing a bit the detail on the head, or increasing the detail on the body would do the trick, and if it could change according to the game graphics options then perfect, perhaps blizz could even adopt it.

Why do CattleBruisers look so small in game and huge in movies?

How can a thor fit within a factory and be built in 60 seconds?

Why do marines/marauders never run out of ammo?

Am I understanding this correctly, btw... can we actually alter the apperance of any unit in the game as long as it's just apperance and not stats? That'd be awesome :D It even works in ladder games?

Seriously someone could make an entirely new race cosmetically that would just function like, say, terran practically?

My head just exploded

Thats pretty much correct. Now idk 100 percent if this will work in ladder. I have no idea if battlenet will check the model files and see that they are different and then the game would crash for me for example. That being said, i've ran replays and the new model works in the game. So when beta comes back I will see whether it works through battlenet.

You should try posting that on the official forums and see if you can get a solid answer.

Would be lame if they say its against ToS or something and start banning ppl.

Well so far there is NO performance gain, and the head really isn't high poly at all. It's almost all the textures that make it look that good. Anyways, i don't think every unit should get this, i just thought the zealot head looked way off from what it was supposed to be.

lol i almost don't want to in fear that its allowed but they then disallow it after i show them the model. But i probably should. I think i might just do that

Hm, the modified one does look a little bit more like the SC1 one when zoomed out.

So let me guess. That head texture itself has a 1024x1024 or 512x512 size. Am I right? whats the polycount? Is the head using the normal map?
