[Animation] Roshans Respawn

kirb · 02-18-2010, 11:14 AM

Roshan in its current shape is a bit too unepic for my taste, but changing the model would wipe away a big part of dota history.
So i decided to make his respawn look a little bit better.

When roshan dies, he stays dead like usual, but only for about ~8 minutes.
Then a big ray will appear and stones will spawn.
after they lay on the ground for about 1 minute they start moving and form a new roshan.

anyway, heres the testmap, check it out for yourself

my initial goal was to spread the animation over the full 10 minutes of respawntime.
but since the lowest animation speed that doesnt look bad is 2% i had to do it in ~ 1 minute.

Roshan is, atleast most of the time, hidden because of shadow.
I wanted some effects for heroes that camp and wait for the respawn of roshan.

Nice!

Overall: T-Up

I've seen a similar suggestion back at DA and supported that, so I support this as well. A respawn animation for Roshan is a wonderful idea and should be implemented.

The specifics of the animation could use a little work. For example, when he starts respawning, the hero respawn animation shows, which I'm not sure is fitting. The twinkly holy effects on Roshan's right arm are also a bit out of theme IMO. On the other hand, the "stone Gaze" stuff at the beginning of the respawn rocks.

An idea that just popped into my head was maybe adding a resurrection stone at the back of Roshan's lair, which starts glowing when Roshan dies until he's fully respawned. It would explain why Roshan can respawn and would add some nice scenery.

... Just awesome! This is the best Roshan cosmetic suggestion I've seen. I would plant wards at Roshan only to see this beautiful animation. Ali's idea is good too. Anyway, T-up!

TWISTER300 · 02-18-2010, 07:09 PM

Is this the animation of a Mud golem spawning?
if it is it rocks T-UP(i haven't tested the map)

Roronoa Zoro · 02-18-2010, 07:33 PM

T-Up, I like it.

davicim0 · 02-18-2010, 08:11 PM

I dunno. I guess it looks cool and all, but who's going to watch it?

Red_Fang · 02-18-2010, 08:48 PM

That's neat, I guess it could add some spice to Roshan.
Yeah, but seriously, who would watch it? xD

You might not spend 2 minutes watching it, but it does allow you to see how soon Roshan 's going to respawn.

Infrisios · 02-18-2010, 10:14 PM

It definitely looks nice, but there'll hardly ever be anyone watching it, so it looks a bit like a waste of time to me ^^

Captain Planet · 02-19-2010, 02:59 AM

Support! This looks very nice! T-up

Siraraz · 02-19-2010, 05:41 AM

Hmmm....... kinda respawns a bit slow. But the concept is nice. I actually thought of having Roshan's respawn animation like this (just the rocks forming, birth animation).

T-UP (If it's not as slow and unselectable until rocks form completely)
