    Looks like you got some great models here. :) I would like permission to convert some to .m3, used by Starcraft 2.
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    By all means - go ahead and have fun with your project! :D
    HerrDave
    Does anyone have v1.27 .MPQ files floating around? I overwrote mine and broke all of my tools :[

    Okay. Now I do. I don’t have any form of permission. But I feel fine about it because people still need to bring their own license. Also. I sounds very much like you make demands here. I don’t appreciate the tone.

    It's because no one who truly cares about modding community cares about legality. Legality limits creations and is no fun allowed. Many of cyber-relics are lost because pretentious and greedy people don't want to share or support them, wiping their face with their righteousness.

    That's one way to put it. I want to keep Warcraft 3 modding alive. That is in Blizzard's favor too. And as long as I don't give people a way to get Warcraft without paying I think I am in the clear.

    Hello Dave. I made a bunch of units (mostly WW) based on your models. Can I post them?
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    Absolutely, man :D

    Glad to hear from you again, by the way :)

    Hello Herr, I do a gas station model and I would like if you allow me to use your oil barrel as a prop for the building. You will get credits of course !
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    By all means, go ahead man :D

    I look forward to seeing your gas station when it's finished :)

    So, we got a new version of our site.. It would be appropriate to hail its glory by some new models...

    Heil Kaiser , i was wondering if you would give me permission to simply Recolor your Knight of The Blazing Sun Model?
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    By all means, go ahead :)

    sorry to ask again but what about the elector it's just for my project i need to make them different from to og model , again sorry to ask
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    You're good, dude - you can edit any of my models however you like :)
    Maximal
    Hey my dude! Sorry to bother, but just wanted to know, what's the progress on that Ranged Warhammer pack? (With crossbowmen and stuff)
    I already did ask quite a while ago, but wanted to know if anything's came out of it.

    I know you're in a tight spot, hang in there, love your work!
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    It got put on indefinite hold when Spectrum sent fellows with bats

    Right now I've got to catch up on two commissions before I can go back to my own model projects, the ranged pack being one of them

    - Greasus Goldtooth (Fellow 1)

    - Goblin Lizard-rider (Guy 2)
    - Gnoll with knives (Guy 2)
    - Female centaur archer (Guy 2)
    - Thorny winter beast (Guy 2)
    Maximal
    Maximal
    Oh, I could do so much with the female Centaur :D
    Thanks for the heads up!

    Just interested. Do you still publish your work here? Or have you lost your enthusiasm for Blizzard? :(
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    Oh boy, this one needs a long answer. Here, I'll send you a private DM(?) with a rundown of everything that's going on - but the short answer is: yes
    Syczewski
    Hello. I really liked the models WW soldiers. Do you plan to finish portraits for them? And are you going to make a couple of building models on the same topic?

    Pardon for my english.
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    Buildings - Yes, I've actually got a few done right now

    Icons - Ehh.. I might have to ask someone else to make those, my icons are pretty awful.
    Syczewski
    Syczewski
    Oh, nice. Thanks for answer.

    Good time of day, Herr Dave. Excuse me, but can you give me your old soviet AT model? Also can you give to my friend permission to create artillery with using your infantry models? Sorry for my bad level of english.
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    Hey Tuk!

    Your English is pretty good, I didn't have trouble understanding your questions :)

    Unfortunately I don't have the Soviet AT model anymore, but I'd be thrilled to see artillery models with my infantry - by all means, you and he have my permission
    L
    Lord-of-Tuk
    Thank you. Knowing my friend, the job will last a long time. I'll message you if we get results of this.
    L
    Lord-of-Tuk
    Sorry, HerrDave. It's strange, but my friend is missed. I doesn't know where he is. Personally I don't have good skills in model-editing. Sorry for false expectations.

    Heil Kaiser. Love all your models was preparing to use a map I was using for classic, of course, I would have asked your permission because I wanted to make a campaign. However, I see that importing them into a reforged map editor is a stand-out in difference haha. I was humbly going to ask 2 questions 1 do you plan to make reforged models or make yours upgraded from classic? Secondly was wondering if you can guide me in a direction on how to actually make models for reforged, please?
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    Salutations Adamus

    Bad news man, I will not be developing for Reforged.

    1 - Reforged is above Skyrim levels of quality and realism, miles beyond my skill level and nowhere near my accustomed model style.

    2 - While I intend to release guides on YouTube on how to model, texture, and animate over a variety of different tools, I'd have no idea where to begin with Reforged.

    Tamplier777 is getting into Reforged models in a big way, he might be the one to ask when it comes to HD work.

    Permission-wise, everyone has my permission to do everything with any of my models - except sell them.

    Some fellows in China have been selling my models to others, which I give away freely :\
    Adamus
    Adamus
    It's cool your work is amazing, especially since it seems you have made models from my favorite games/genres. well if you don't mind I would not mind looking to see your guides too, once I figure out how to turn the editor to a classic version haha. Now see there is always someone/people who goes and ruin things and make it sour. Damn them for profiteering. I wonder once I learn how to make models for reforged if i manage it that is haha, I wonder if I could make reforged versions of your classic models? (it's ok to dream ... right? haha)
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    Thanks man :)

    I'm honored and I welcome you to remake any of my models as you see fit

    Don't worry about crediting me with any remakes, since I didn't have a hand in your work - you deserve full credit :)
    O
    Hey there, I saw your comment saying WOTK was cancelled. Firstly sorry to hear that, it seemed super interesting from what I saw of it, your art style and consistency are brill. Secondly you mentioned the government system being too complex, what did you intend to do with the government stuff? Hope you're well and managing with your recent issues
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    Hey Oliver

    Thanks for the compliments :)

    In WotK, players would start with their historical governments (Republic, Monarchy, etc) and would have the opportunity through events or tech to change governments, adopting communism, federalism, fascism, or monarchy.

    Each government-type would provide a faction-wide bonus and penalty, like this:
    Fascism (Fuhrer Hero)
    - Faster tech research (bonus)
    - Unit cost increase (penalty)
    - SS Officer / King Tiger unlocked

    Communism (Vozd Hero)
    - Almost free infantry (bonus)
    - Very expensive tech (penalty)
    - Commissar / Katyusha unlocked

    Federalism (President Hero)
    - Much faster training time (bonus)
    - Cannot build defenses on coastlines (penalty)
    - Calliope Tank / B17 Bomber unlocked

    Monarchy (King / Emperor Hero)
    - Double active income (bonus)
    - Slower research (penalty)
    - Tzar Tank / some sort of massive battleship unlocked
    O
    Oliver
    Sounds like a lot of work yeah, especially with all the custom models etc

    Did you ever play a game called rise of nations, it has a similar kind of government system (albeit simplified and covering a larger timescale 1000bc-near future).
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    I've seen it, but I can't remember if I ever played it
    HerrDave
    My financial situation is stabilizing again, thank you guys so much for your help - you kept the lights on, kept me in my home, and kept me fed :)
    Zydler
    Hello, Herr Dave! Thanks for your amazing work! I was wondering, can I edit your Gondor Footman to become a Paladin?
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    Thanks Zydler!

    By all means :)

    Hello, Herr Dave, can I ask you a little bit about your work on the Lord of the Rings map? Specifically, I am interested in what you plan to do with Shire and how you plan to combine the extraction of resources from the war of the Rings with the usual income of a similar genre map? Will captured points bring food?
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    I plan to invade the Shire and build a McDonalds :p
    (I don't understand that question)

    Presently the map has capture points in every land which generate a small amount of food/ore (gold/lumber) every 60 seconds, like in Azeroth Wars

    If you'd like to help me develop the map, add me on Discord and we'll get to work :)
    orgeboyo
    and maybe you could also do some of the orcs from shadow of war or mordor (they look beatiful dont they) i dont really tough expect you to do it as you're having financial problems of doing any of these.
    orgeboyo
    hey i would like to suggest the battle realms models and battle realms is made of the same company (liquid entertainment) that made war of the ring and people could use the models in the game.
    if you want i can send pictures or links to battle realms. and youre a great modeller
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    I'm interested in Battle Realms, I kept seeing it on the back of disc cases for other games I had but never had the opportunity to play it

    Depending on the complexity of those models, I might start making HD versions of them after the Star Wars models are done
    orgeboyo
    orgeboyo
    oh no not at all the models are quite easy but the animations and as well as modelling will or could take time but then if you have pictures of them or something like that then the modelling part easy but the animation will be hard i could try and record or something like that and show you the units animations
    orgeboyo
    orgeboyo
    or buildings
    L
    Can I ask you about progress with the models of Star Wars universe??
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    Yup

    Models on Star Wars have been on ice for a few years, now - though once I get over my financial pickle and my pirate phase, I'll probably revamp and release them to the public

    Nice hearing from you again, Tuk :)
    Makoodzaka
    Hello, do you take requests? I find you animating very well done.
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    Yeap, I still take requests

    I'm in a bad financial spot right now, so I won't be able to immediately get started on the model, but I'll definitely try to fit it in my schedule
    HerrDave
    My power has been turned back on for another 2 days Sorry about my absence, but a combination of Covid, the homeowner's association, and Duke Energy means I'm expected to go homeless I'm going to re-open Patreon as this is a bit of an emergency
    Darklycan51
    hey herr do you maybe have your new haradrim pikeman/archer/mounted model? I love the new swordsman by the way

    btw here's a few images of the in development american colonization map, your models are helping a lot :D they look really cool with these high quality SD assets (tiles/trees):

    Hi, HerrDave! Goodnight! How are you?
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    Feeling burnt out on Warcraft, so I've taken up D&D as a Dungeonmaster on roll20 - made ~110 assets so far.

    Really bummed about Blizzard's EULA :(
    ClariceGonzalesBR
    ClariceGonzalesBR
    Oh... That's sad... Blizzard is ruining the Warcraft community. Keep health and safe comrade!
    HerrDave
    I'm going to be shutting down my Patreon - it seems that they're being sued for censorship, and the company is does not expect to survive the lawsuit. Thanks for keeping me fed, guys :)

    Hi!
    We need human crossbowman model as "bree militia" model but with simple helm.
    If u have similar, please, post it.
    P.S. what about copyrights of "lotr wotr" textures? i knew was a problems, but lost storyline. Its just my curiosity)
    P.S.2 thank you for your work!
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    I'll look into a crossbowman for ya :)

    A while ago I got into hot water for using ripped textures from WotR: I'd double the resolution and re-draw them to fit Warcraft 3, but because the file started off as a rip, the Hive Staff decided I was a villain.

    It wasn't the first time the staff came after me, but the language they used made it clear that they see the modelers and creators like dirt; so I said I was going to take down all of my models and move to Warcraft Underground.

    Ralle (God bless him) stepped in, got some talks going on, and over a few weeks or a month, the older vague rules were updated and new ones put in place to allow me to stay and model.

    Then "Reforged" hit and destroyed everything with it's EULA from Hell :D

    Thank you very much HerrDave!

    Ahahah! I really glad, so hard to explain in words how glad i am!

    I had similar story. Long time ago, i made models-pack to mount and blade based on heroes5 textures for modellers, but admins crush my beginnings, now it deleted, and its my mistake.

    Hello
    I have been following your work for a long time. I love your historical models. Please make more models of Eastern Europe warriors. Polovtsy (Kumans), Hungarians, Slavs, Mordovians, Tatars.

    I will be glad for your answer. Your models are the best!
    https://www.hiveworkshop.com/bundles/druzhina.295236/
    https://www.hiveworkshop.com/bundles/warcraft-crusader.286460/

    I would like to see models from such images:

    Thanks!
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    I don't have any Eastern European models planned right now, but I can look into a horse-archer & swordsman if you'd like. :)

    If you really need these models sooner rather than later, come visit my Patreon, I could use help paying some bills

    I made it initially to make models in exchange for money to help my Grandma with her food, medicine, gas, and bills; but she passed away now.
    Now that I'm sort of in debt for taking care of her, it's still up to help me get back on stable ground.

    One thing that's very nice about Mongolian/Tartar models is the armour is very simple to make in 3D, so that's a mercy :D
