PaleVal'kyrSvH

-Credits goes to Tufy for matching textures for wings, thank you very much for help.- (Fixed, now uses only ingame textures)

So, here are the kinda request unit. Reqsuest was making Valkyr with both walking and flaying animations. Animations are used from original valkyr model from world of warcraft. But, mesh is done by me, as much as other works, wrap, using of textures, emmiters, sounds, footsteps, etc.

Also not that i would only take animations, i edited them, so they look much more like warcraft 3 matching animations and also it reduced the filesize of the model heavily. Iam not taking credit for something i havent done, only for what i have done. Please keep that in mind. Enought editation and custom work was done, so i think personaly model should stand for approval. Anyway if there will be any bug, problem, or need of editation, of course ill take it and do it. Two versions of the valkyr was made - one pale and one dark.

Also fully working custom portrait was done, this time, not using wow animations, but W3 ones, based on Warden portrait.

And again, icon makers are welcomed!!! Please I beg you, make an icon for this or any of my models. Thanky ou very much.

Aout credits : Blizzard - animations
Sellenisko (me, for everything else)



Update - Well apparently (i really dont understand how is it possible...), when i used on my dark valkyr black wings from stormcrow of medivh, which are all black, the wings didnt appear black, but pale white, so i used it in my pale valkyr, so now it uses only ingame textures. Thanky anyway for Tufys work and swan wings.

Update2: I fixed the size of the whole thing, it was freakishly big in the game, now it should be more fitting for the halfgiant of the warcraft universe. Thanks to Misha. One must alwas learna new things!

Update3: Sorry for keep uploading it, but the thing was still freakishly big, iam sorry! I tested before on premade map and scale was not 1.0, so now and for all should be all good and matching W3 units.

Also recommended speed for walking animations is 250.

Icons were made! Several version! this one is an awesome icon made by Sin'dorei300 - Click on the image ;)

Yay, you finally finished it, I'll go try it out!

Also i forgot to mention - because of this great Person by the name of tomoraider - was done this model. Thanks to him guys i was able to do it. First version of valkyr was just hovering angel, with not of a much animatiosn for wings... Thanks to tomoraider i started expermenting with wow animations and i learned how to edit them enought to be fitting, useable and how to reduce filesize...first version of my valkyr with full animations was 1 mb. So i guess i reduced it as much as i could :ogre_datass:

There is no need to thank me, I'm glad I was able to help, the model is great :3

Woudl be much mor useable if they had an icon :/ :/ :/

I made an icon for my campaign from a WoW picture. If you want, I can try making an icon from your model of the val'kyr if that's allowed?

I love you so much! I've been waiting for a Val'kyr model for my map for ages <3 <3 <3

Could you make a version without a staff? Or at least change the color of the staffs handle from brown like black or grey? The brown throws it off.

that's really too much praise for me! i'm pretty average... but you're welcome. if you work with 3dsmax we can put up a cooperative model, or two. :)

I wish I had! But i never actually make that thing working, it always somehow didnt work. :/ so all iam working with is magos and mdlvis. But stil if you had any idea about making something together, I'll gladly join up!

Hmm indeed strange. Are you sure you didn't use a double material layer? I mean 2 textures in 1 material?

Nope. I think i first used transparent material, for the wings, so the texture looked normal about colors - black (because I used albatross wings, and damn its a white bird and he has black wings...). But Tomorider pointed out that wings of valkyr are kinda ghostlike and transparent at the same time.. i used additive material than, but it looked like sh*t... So i experimented and after a while i used add alpha material and it worked...it looked ghostlike, it was white and also it was transparent exactly at the places where its supposed to, so I was like "Whohouuu! Heureka! New trick unlocked! :D " ^^ i gues this is the reason why black textures are white instead...because of the material type.

Well compared to the snow bear which you can find in the basic mpq im am not sure about the eagle it is possible that like the boar skin variations it might be hidden in one of the lesser mpq files my gess would be the S.mpg found in war3x.mpq but i really havent been digging up those lesser mpq's for a while.

This is awesome. Now, I don't have to use WoW Rips for Val'kyrs and since you're doing Vrykul right now and some Worgen, the Scourge has new toys to play with!

Hmm...you're also making a Variann Wrynn model, right? Will you release it here?

Definitely. Iam currently waiting for the custom texture. Than i will finish the model and animations and than I will release it right here ;)

Model

So i imported the model, and then made a new unit based on a gargoyle, after i had changed the model file it appeared as a valkyr just walking with altered height. How do i change it so that the valkyr is flying and waving its wings and stuff :vw_wtf: :vw_wtf: :vw_wtf: :vw_wtf:

AWSOME MODEL BTW, LOVE IT :ogre_love:
