simple merge of gnoll archer and a snapdragon, with retera's 'Matrix Eater', then animations tweaked by Sellenisko. also optimized. hope it's useful enough

Deolrin: Make a real portrait, or at least zoom in on the gnoll more so that it looks better and more like the in-game portraits - also, give it a TC background. Also, fix the bones during "Decay"(they don't fit the unit and they seem to be stretched\too big). Finally, the bones seem to disappear at the end of "Decay Flesh" - fix that, and I think the "Decay" animations may not be the proper length(Decay Flesh seems to play extremely quickly in-game).

Edit by Kwaliti: Approvable.
 
certainly an unusual combination (i'm aware it was a request)

i was subjected to viewing the matrix eater videos for a while, is it more convenient/accessible than the tools you usually use?

it replaces a few tools i used before, such as anim transfer, and adds some cool new options to model making.. but it is kinda complex-ish to use. at least to me
 
Not really very appropriate; quite an unusual request and I suppose it won't have much use outside of what it was made for. I can't picture a gnoll ever riding a snapdragon.

Still, it is kinda neat and since the person wanted a gnoll riding a snapdragon, I suppose you did as good of a job as possible.

Edit: For clarification (pasted from my later comment below, added here for understanding of those who don't read the other comment)

Mainly that it's a giant blue water-bound lizard, which is kind of awkward for dry hyena-wolf-human creatures which you would expect to ride things like boars, wolves, maybe a dry green or brown lizard.

You did what the person wanted, and there's nothing wrong with that. I didn't rate this particular resource because it wouldn't be fair to you if I rated it based on its use to the community when it was intended for only one person.

Awesome, great job man. Maybe Gnoll could use some details to be lil different then regular crossbow gnoll but I didn't think to ask that anyway...

And yes request is unusual but it can be useful outside the project as there is no ranged mounted gnoll at all while there are melee pig rider and wolf rider (on Wc3C.net). Also what's not to like about gnoll on giant lizard?
