Hodir

Model that i made, Dentothor Skinned.

it was his idea in the first place, but i didn't want this skin to be on some ordinary unit, so a couple geomerges and partciles was worth the outcome.

General Frank:

A camera or portrait would needed for approval of this model. I would prefer to have it a real portrait.

DonDustin: the changes that GF requested are done, but there are a few additional points that need improvements:
1. the moustache moves through the nody in some animations
2. the skull should be alligned to the bone of the stomach because stand 3 looks quite strange because of that.
3. the head looks quite ugly right now( take a look at the screenshot)

DonDustin: ok those changes have been made. Now you only have to adjust the particles to the same bone that the skull uses :D
Oh and you have to add the portrait again, it disappeared :/


DonDustin: this is in an aprovable state now, but I think you should rework the portrait a bit, because the proportions and the wrap of the mountain king portrait does not do its justice for this model (you better merge the head f the model to the portrait as it would look much better):>

Oh and this model will get a rating soon

About the appearance:
He looks quite awesome, I love the particles on his belt. Beard and face need more work though, in my oppinion. The beard should look more stone-like, just like they (by they I mean the giants) have in WoW (I really like those stone-beards). The club/mace could use some more... awesomness. Spiky stuff, maybe particles...
About the model:
It needs a portrait, seriously. A portrait with Muradin's or Mountain King's animations, perhaps? Also, about the animations... "Attack Slam - OgreLord Only", "Spell - OgreMagi Only", is that really necesarry? Yeah and, maybe skin path should be just "Hodir.blp", without the "Textures\" part, it's easier to import, and with the path "Hodir.blp", you're able to see it with Magos.
About the skin:
Great skin, I really like it, only beard should be re-worked, to be more stone-like, just like in WoW (in my oppinion). And the eyes should also be light blue, it would be better instead of white, I think.

Overall: Really, without a portrait it's not very useful, it should be 2/5, but! I'll pretend that you already made a portrait, so it's 4/5 for now. If the beard and other stuff I mentioned gets changed, then it's 5/5 from me! :pcon:

EDIT: Also, include an ingame screenshot, perhaps?

Portrait looks great! Just_Spectating, are you going to change/improve the mace, too?

Choose another more gray-ish color, and make the beard look less hairy, or not hairy at all. Think of it like this, make a beard that is actually made of stone.

EDIT: Actually, keep the color, just make it more saturated on some spots.
