Santa Claus 2017

Santa Claus 2017 version
~Hohoho, Santa Claus is coming, to HIVE~

Special Thanks to: Retera

For this model I have to give credits to Herrdave for helping me on improving and upgrade my old santa's mesh and improve the texture (and magically make shrink the texture filesize), as well as help me rig and animated one stand animation. Many thanks to him. If you use this model be sure to credit Herdave. Without him, this model cannot be made on time because I am very inexperience with texturing.

Aside from Herrdave, I also want to give my thanks to Retera for helping to me fix a few things in my model as well as provide me a terrain map to showcase my Santa in the screenshot. For those who want a ingame texture version you would have to wait next year XD

If you use this model please note that it is intended to be either hovering or Flying, and I would recommend, to give him a 500 animation walk speed in object editor to work better, and you might want a longer animation backswing to time the missile well. I'm looking forward for anyone to use it in their map

As a side note, I also added an Item Present and Missile Present in case you want to make something like an "Airstrike Itemdrop" or something like this. The Santa and the Missile and Item are sharing the texture so you don't have to import the texture multiple times.

Feel free to edit the model but please notify me if you do. Merry Christmas and have fun with the model.

have you tried to restart your world editor after import?
Yep, that was really helpful. I've tried to re=start the map, but not the editor.
It works.

And if so, could you please also recommend what is the correct way to assign the model. Currently I've just changed the Arthas Undead hero model with the santa model.
Is it the normal way or I should better to create some standalone unit for Santa? Moreover, Santa has some missiles (is it a ranged attack?).

Anyway, thanks a lot.
