Reskinning of Wizard model

Hello everyone,

I would love to use this model in an upcoming project of mine: Human Wizard - The Hive Workshop - A Warcraft III Modding Site

As most people already mentioned, the skin isn't everyones taste.
I would ask the modeller himself but he seems to be inactive since about half a year.

Maybe someone else could create an alternative skin for it.
I think it would look great, with a teamcolored hat and a darker blue or grey robe.

I think every experienced modeller/skinner could do this within little time.
So, if someone would like to do this, it would be very appreciated!

Permission is required I believe before any editing is to take place.

Please obtain permission before even considering this request.

There should, really be a resource time clause.... i mean if theres no way to reach them..., and maybe on the rules, give some radio button options:
( ) Allow Full EDITING, with Credit NOT required
( ) Allow Full Editing, with origional Author crediting required
( ) Allow NO editing, Without Explicit Concent from author, Credit Required
( ) Allow Basic EDITING, (weapon/part removal, and scaleing) with credit reqiored
( ) Ect....

This would give the authors the option, to let their work be open if they chose, i know i personally dont care, if someone edits my work, afterall alot of Pieces need "adjusting" to fit well into a map, it greatly increases the posibility for the models already out there, Geo-Mergers, dont credit blizz for the parts they use do they? although this is a more obvious form, seing as almost everyone here has wc3, and knows what parts came from where (usually)

You can edit everything and everyone, as long you keep it to yourself and your map and don't publish the edited files.

I thought about the permission thing, but I don't see any reason, why the original author should be against it, as long as you give clear credit, like this:

model by: original author
new/alternative skin by: XY

OK, if you need to change some things within the model to make a new skin work properly, it gets a bit more complicated. There still should be given full credit to the original author for the model itself then and a short note, about the new skin changes.

I think the author would be happy to see his model being used, but I've just send him a PM.

I think the model is good and useful, a real classic one.


ps: as TheDevineBoss has statet, the new thin hasn't to be published at all. So if someone would dare make this little thing for use in my project only, it would be a great thing too.

still theres lotsa ppls, not capaable of editing it themselfs's (isits ok to give to them, if u pass on the authors info and stuff?, for their map ofcourse)

So I'm a noob at model editing and skinning..

Can someone please do the job and reskin this for a more neutral color and a team colored hat? ;)

I'm right now in completely changing my battlegrounds project to a new location and an alliance vs horde setting. This model would be great for the human mage.
