Captain James Hook (Model)

Woooooahhh....

This is pretty fantastic, man. Ah dannae what it is; the mesh is neat & clear, the textures are just so opulent (& fit him, gold trim & all that (EDIT: ah, custom texture, of course; a shame. I was wondering what kind of wizardry you'd tapped into xD)), and the animations are really smooth & new & such.

I don't know that I could find a place for this in a "normal" map (the attention to detail & true-to-source-material-ness leads him looking so much like the movie Hook that it seems weird in Warcraft, IMO), but I could try... And if nothing else, that sick animation set could really grace some schweet model. Heck, is there *any* other "fencer"-type model on the Hive (callahan's, maybe).

Verah Noice, bud : )

"Now where is this that Peter Pan and his merry band?"

Well this could be used even for a Pirate for something, but nice that you made this.

Great one!

The texture could be a bit better considerning it is a custom one,
it looks quite blurry/stretched in the preview picture,
but I could bet it isn't visible in-game.

It would be (probably) be in violation of copyright, but as I am making no money from this it is allowed according to free-use(?) and some fan-works thing that I can't remember the name of. I also think the makers of the movie were bankrupt and went out of business and that Disney probably doesn't care that I am using the name for a hero in a game.


I hate copyright of any kind and if Disney would send their hounds after me for a free model, they'd probably have gone after both Toontown Rewritten and the Pirates of the Caribbean online remake first.

Excellent Model

This is an excellent model.
But through test I may find a little flaw.
when hook attacks, he will show a sword which is not in his hand.
I mean he will skip the action of drawing sword.
Could you please Adding a action which hook walks with his sword like footman do?
That will be nice, 3Q for your devotion anyway

Hm, guess I'll have to disagree as usual. I don't think it's DC worthy.

5/5 surely, but not dc.

I appreciate the feedback, anything I can do to make it more worthy in your eyes?

I don't understand why the Melee version has different clothes. But that's just me.

After realizing that the model didn't have very much going for it outside of the character it is based on (strange as that sounds) I decided to make it more complex, adding alternate animations allowing for a both melee and ranged hero, then I stepped it up a notch with the flashes on the smallsword and the whirring sound when he swings it.

Very nice model. Tempting to use this.

However is the alternate walk animation meant to create a short duration smoke that follows the character? (I have only looked in the model editor so far so I don't know this is the case ingame yet...)
