Zodiac Warrior

Heavily modified Eredar warlock model using Milkshape3D. Texture is by me and the first model+portrait I animated myself ^_^.

This model has a weird internal stat having 290 matrix groups (?o_O) I dunno why Milky MDL/X converters prepares matrix list for all materials/geosets despite of only few bones/joints distributed among material/geoset. Its just converter-prepared and unused matrix "list", like putting 3 eggs in a box for a dozen, its never as heavy as a dozen XP.

Story/Description:

He is a pious-minded draenei with a heart of a warrior. He has the power of foresight aided by the heavens (stars) and sets his sight to do battle with his corrupted counterparts. The white clothe pieces on him signifies that he's a good-guy, white=universal sign of goodness. of course you may give it any role as you wish.

Important WE fields:

Animation - Cast Point: 0.800
Animation - Backswing Point: 0.760
Animation - Damage Point: 0.680
Animation - Run Speed: 280.00
Animation - Walk Speed: 280.00

Pls. Do not modify w/o my permission, do not destribute to other sites w/o my permission, and give me credit if you find use for it... I'm dickxunder.

Draenei


((EDIT from 2017)) I apologize for not being able to reply to emails and PM's asking for permission to use my models for their maps. I did not expect my old models to still be catching some attention, and you are all very kind to have taken a moment of your time to try and contact me.

Should've made this edit years ago: NO NEED TO ASK FOR MY PERMISSION. But, as always, GIVE CREDIT when using my works or any other resource you stumble upon from this site.

Thank you. :)

the model is really nice.Especially the texture.

Here are some points that could be improved:
1. the particles in the spell and spell slam animation do not look that nice. I think it would be better if you would add some kind of glow to the weapons for these animations instead of "huge magic particle bombs" :>
2. animations: the attack anims are really good. But the death animations looks a bi simple to me for a hero unit. He should fall much slower to the ground. The dissipate anim is also a bit slow. The spell anims are nice. And so are the stand animations.BUT: you have to work on the walk animation.Give some movement to his hips(it´s too static right now)

4/5

Very cool, very useful model. Not too many good draenei models are submitted. 5/5
I disagree with some earlier posts about the animation colors. Personally, I like them. However, the animations take a long time to complete and generally they are interupted before they are finished, making them mainly useful for cinematics.

Is used (for now) as a hero in my map, Kingdom of Dreams

Hi, I was wondering if someone can help me import this model onto my map or help me find why I can't see this model in the map. I imported other character models and used the MDX Pather to help me use the custom paths, but for some reason I can't find it for this model. Is there another way I can try to import him or load him in? I tried to import him and then save the import manager and run as administrator when I reopened WE. I am fairly new to everything including JASS and GUI so much help is appreciated. THank you.

this is one of my favorite models, fits very well alongside blizzard models, my only gripe is his lack of foot prints, he doesn't move water either, but that should be an easy fix
