Magos' Model Editor
If a.) the model/s present an error regarding a ribbon emitter upon opening, or b.) the models go blank after editing them in Magos', use MdlxConv to convert the uncorrupted file to mdl, and then convert back to mdx before importing.

In-Game
If models with omnilights light up the whole map after conversion, make sure you're using version 1.04 of MdlxConv.

Works in-game, performs appropriately and is a good addition to the model section.

When i read "Sunspire Tower" i thought about Quelthalas, elven spires, the Sunspire, some kind of noble elven spire... And i found... This. I dont even know what im lookint at, is it something... About... Mario from nintendo? Zelda? It must be a cartoon theme, right?

Seems like a building with a lot of potential.
The spinning animations are perfect for something like a tornado or wind themed tower that shoots tornadoes or pushes units away.
Or it just spins when attacked, dealing aoe damage.

Not sure what type of race/faction it would fit with.
People who makes TD's probably don't care though.

I think everyone agrees that the Spell Channel Fourth animation should be removed. Aside from the fact that this looks a little "XXX" for the site, stone generally contracts and extends when under geological pressure, and even then it takes millions of years to bend rock.
Also, the spire looks disorienting at the top because it has green, yellow, blue and black for the artwork. If you want something appealing, then you should make the top consistent with the rest of the building.
I like the idea of brass/golden railings spiraling, and I like how you spin them around, except the stairs go one way and the top wheel goes the other. If you want your things to spin, then you should have bearings along the tower so you see the mechanism take life.
Uhhhh, actually!!!!
:D
