    Hi HerrDave, I Have A Plan Model
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    Hey Pasha - what'd you have in mind?

    There's a couple models on the Hive I'm listed as the creator of, but I only assisted in
    Syczewski
    Hi Dave.

    I try to make my own textures. This is a tricky job (especially when it comes to drawing faces).
    Do you draw textures yourself or does someone help you?
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    I get help with the smoother/shinier hair, but I draw the faces I can't find a good texture for

    My best advice is to start with a black section of the texture, use a white airbrush and start at the eyebrow/nose, fading the general shape of the face in and then going to the cheek bones, lower lip, mouth corner, and chin - after that's done, brush in the forehead and lighten it: Boom, monochrome face base to work with :)

    After that, use the smear/smudge tool to get some of the harsher features in, like a sharp nose, scars, horned brow, etc - colouring it is the main thing that still whoops me at times.

    Greetings. I am new to Hive Workshop. And I want to warn you that your job:
    www.hiveworkshop.com

    Old-school Lich King

    "Let them come, Frostmourne hungers!" - King Arthas Credit to Kwaliti for the helm of domination. Changes -Reworked every animation -Reworked mesh a bit -Removed unnecessary bones -Compressed skin -Changed Dissipate animation (Temporary, until I learn how to animate the undead dissipate)...
    www.hiveworkshop.com www.hiveworkshop.com
    Was partially used by me for this model:
    www.hiveworkshop.com

    Arthas Menethil(Death Knight on Foot and Mounted)

    I think that the models of Arthas and the death knight for melee are very similar and I decided to show everyone my vision of the fallen prince. P.S: Arthas' spell animations and main texture are entirely @HerrDave My goal was to create an interesting variation on Arthas' model.
    www.hiveworkshop.com www.hiveworkshop.com
    You are listed as the author and the description indicates that my model borrowed something from your work.
    If anything, I'm sorry, I will be glad if you approve of what I have done 👉👈
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    Hey man, you drew upon my work to make something better - I approve :peasant-thumbs-up:

    Greetings friend!

    Your work is wonderful piece of art! I hope problems with authors of "war of the ring" don't more annoying you. (I hear with they you have something problems)

    Если нужна какая-то помощь по русскому языку, пиши.

    And just write letter "Ы", because you can't spell this sound. )))))))

    HerrDave
    Howdy Vasili, many thanks for the kind words :D

    'Beel'
    uh--

    Late HBD

    Looking for Toy Soldier model that made by HerrDave.
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    I have no idea what HBD is :D

    The Toy Soldiers-esq models are found under the tags "WotK" and "Wrath of the Kaiser"

    Though they've had some design changes from the Toy Soldiers days

    Hello, HerrDave. Can you tell me if you still have your old bunker model? I mean the version that don't have any upgrades.
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    I read your comment, opened my WotK archive, and I return with ill tidings - I don't have it anymore :<

    I could probably try to remake it, but-- a screenshot would help a lot :p
    Lord-of-Tuk
    Lord-of-Tuk
    Sorry. While looking for a screenshot I found the model itself.
    HerrDave
    -Announcement-
    I have a hard time telling anyone 'no' and now I've got too many requests to handle; the stress has been getting to me while trying to keep up
    I'm thrilled you all came to me for your models, but there's way too many for one guy to do
    I need to take a break from these requests, guys

    That's all for now, thanks for reading

    I deeply respect this person. He is the only one who could help me for a huge period of time. And the fact that he is overwhelmed with a huge number of cases did not affect his professional qualities in any way. If he undertakes to help someone, then rest assured, he will do it conscientiously!

    How's it going, man? I was really worried that you were going to halt your projects because of all the crap that happened not too long ago.
    Hope you're still going to keep them up. Wishing the best for you!

    Thanks man :)

    Right now I'm trying to catch up on requests, starting to run out of steam, but I should be able to publish at least 1 more wave of models before like-- passing for dead again for a month

    Right now I'm finishing off a bowl of ramen before going on a walk

    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

    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

    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...

    You're good, dude - you can edit any of my models however you like :)

    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)

    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.

    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

    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 :)
    Oliver
    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
    Oliver
    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 :)

    Hello, Herr Dave! Thanks for your amazing work! I was wondering, can I edit your Gondor Footman to become a Paladin?

    HerrDave
    Thanks Zydler!

    By all means :)
    Lord-of-Tuk
    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
    Lord-of-Tuk
    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 :)
