Akama

Cooperation between me and JesusHipster.

We both did a great lot of things. I created the base model which JesusHipster refined drastically. He's done an amazing job with the wrap, recreating the animations and the rigging and and and and... as always, credits go to him too. Without him, it wouldn't have been possible. <3

Update: JH fixed the portrait camera, looks way better now :)
Update: Futher improved portrait so Akama has some kind of character to him

great model guys!

didn't tested it ingame yet. but from the look of the screenshot, i think the portrait angle could be better imo.

You can just view it in 3D, can't you?

there's not much different by testing it ingame or with model editor to check the portrait angle imo.
i'm just a bit lazy to do it >.<

Fantastic. I love seeing collaborations and your guy's's's are some of the best. Really neat Akama, great to see him given some custom-lovin'. : )

Great job, both mesh wise and animations. You two should crate an entry for paired modeling contest sometimes, I'm sure you will win.
First we need to have one! :p That, and a paired "Artist/Coder" Hero Contest. *sigh*

Holy crap!
How I missed things being gone and I can't wait to use it in game for my Campaign.
Going to probably use the old Akama model for a Lost One leader you can kill.

This model looks great! However I can't seem to get it working. From what I've read, all tutorials seem to state that there needs to be a .BLP file included with models. But your models don't come with any. This model shows up fine in the World Editor, but doesn't appear in-game. Have I gone wrong somewhere? Was I supposed to give a custom path?

This model uses in-game textures, so no, you shouldn't need to import any (i.e. .BLP files); the game provides them all.

You should (pretty much 100% of the time) remove "war3imported/" from the path of any model you upload, or else it won't work. No clue why.

You should be encouraged to create models that are not in Warcraft, like Varian or Garrosh.
Anyway, great job.
