Villagers Re-Reforged



VILLAGERS RE-REFORGED

Custom set of Villagers models, with the addition of fixed and expanded default game villagers model. It also includes children models, with a noticeable amount of new animations. In the vanilla game, villagers are clones and their animations are not very well organized, and this is very noticeable in up close cutscenes or in RPG styled maps. This is no more, with this villagers pack.

The models were developed by me for Warcraft 3 Re-Reforged. It also comprehends a rich female villager by Moonman and two aged villagers (male and female) by Mr Ogre Man. I think many mapmakers could benefit from a much more varied set of villagers. You are free to use them but you are required to give credits to me and Moonman for them (and it is very welcome if you link my project along with the credits).

The models are fully functional, both gameplay and cinematic wise, and they are compatible with the respective Villager/Child unit facial animations. The rich male villager has the Chaplain facial animations, instead.
The model and animation edits are done using Reteras Model Studio.

Mr Ogre man
Very useful. The only issue that I see is that maybe they could've had some other hairstyles, specially the female peasant.

Woow, you weren't kidding. I love this. :)
I would maybe suggest to introduce more changes in terms of the facial hair and hairstyles for both the men and the women. You could also maybe take some assets from the High Elf villagers or other generic human units. Finally, some headswaps from combat soldiers without their headgear could be nice. The Bandits would make for a nice set of villagers I think.

Headswaps is a big no if you want to keep facial animations. I will probably do the same treatment for elves, I didn't want to go overboard with the hairstyles, because it took a lot of time even to make these.

Uh, am I dreaming or are there fewer models than before? Where have the old villagers gone, those with walking sticks?
 
Very cool set!
Would it be possible to add an attack animation to the Female model(at least to one)?
That would be super-appreciated!
I could try, yeah

Search for villagers, you'll find both the old guys with canes and the girls there. I guess I'll make a pack soon.

Expect some new updates soon with a couple of new anims and ghost versions.

That's exactly what I did (repeatedly) when I saw they weren't there, they are nowhere to be found. :cry:
