  • Hows the mounted druzhina?
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    Ah yes.

    The reason I don't have Hook's arm going all the way back like in the original animations is because it's a crippled limb, and Hook generally kept his arm close to his chest.

    The only times he broke the habit was when he was fighting or using his hook to make a point while talking.

    well i get it
    HerrDave when you can, can you modify the druzhina animations to not be that peasantish? He is kinda clumsy, when druzhina were trained soldiers like knights. If you can I want him to have the Gondor Swordsman animations or something.
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    I'll need more details about the Druzhina, what they did, how they did it, how skilled they were and what weapons they used - high reason being is I'm going to have to change the Gondorian Swordsman's animations :(

    SNIper of DARKness" For reference the Druzhina was a group of men in early Rus who helped the prince administering his principalit. The individual member of druzhina was known as druzhinniki and the first members of druzhina were actually Norse warriors (varangians), they were eventually joined by members of the local Slavic aristocracy and adventurers . The weapons they used varied from Swords and Axes to Maces. They were trained warriors but not quite on par with the Feudal Knights which trained from a young age and almost constantly.
    In summary Druzhina is a group of warriors in service to a lord. Boyars on the other hand were not necessarily all warriors but if they were they were mostly better equipped and way better trained."

    You can give him (if direfury permits) direfurys footman animations or animations for units you did before the current (no Gondor) Warcraft Crusader!! animations fit well with this, I just want anything but the peasantry militia style animations, doesn't seem realistic. You can do this now or later your choice
    Amazing models man, especially the War of the RIng ones it was the thing I was looking for, to use in my custom Campaign... Thanks man
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    No problem, man :)

    Good luck with your project!
    I Love ur models but there is a proplem with ur captain hook . his walking animation is wired , when he walks , the action of same-side limbs towards the same direction .
    wish u could fix this .
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    I'm not entirely sure what you mean, could you show me?
    paladinjst
    paladinjst
    when he walks , the left arm and left leg towards the same direction at the same time , so are the right arm and leg .
    paladinjst
    paladinjst
    The correct way is that when the left arm in front of body then the left leg behind the body , the same as right side
    It's been long, so pardon me for being too direct, but you told me you would be making a Crossbowman model any news on that or is it all dead on the western front?
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    All dead on the western front ;n;

    Can you send me a picture of what you'd like him to look like?

    Came here from the LV/DV model, you can probably teamcolor the lightsaber... oh wait, it'd be a pain to work with because you'd need both transparency and teamcolor.
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    I could probably do it, but I also need to keep in mind that the model needs to work well alongside stormtroopers using the same teamcolor, which won't always be red :[

    oh.. okay.
    By the way, is there a particular reason why you're not using unit textures from WoTR?
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    I can open and view the skins, but I can't save them.

    The one skin I got out of the game was in .tga format and outside the unit folder - specifically the Sauron skin.

    It's resolution was pathetically small (128x128), so I've updated the hell out of it for my upload here on the Hive.

    I'm actually looking into the archives of WoTR and the textures are easily accessible, but I can't access model files .lmd, it's some sort of closed source format. However there is a way to rip these models, the brute forced way, I will try something and report back.

    Most unit textures are in 128x128, I could uspscale them to 512x512 if it would make things easier for you. Converting and manipulating textures is a piece of cake.

    Edit: I found a way to rip models from the game!
    Whatever profane rituals that were performed to render Gandalf in War of the Ring I have come to find simply CANNOT be reproduced for Warcraft 3.

    How about making a Pickelhaube then?
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    Many thanks :)

    I've already got a Pickelhaube as well as a nearly complete uniform to go with it, I do need new boots though.

    The shield is for sparring practice and I need to make sure it'll stand up to /quite/ the beating so I can begin selling them to fund myself.

    You really got a Pickelhaube? Is it the real deal from the Kaiserreich era? Or rather, is it somehow metallic and hard?

    I see. Nice, man, you're becoming a great artist
    After selling homemade shields, I think you can also begin making DIY Pickelhauben to sell too. Perhaps you'll reintroduce Prussian style into modern fashion? You'll be leaving a great name if so, :)
    *roughs up your hair in a friendly jest* xD

    how have you been, dude? :3

    hmm.. I can't really be of help in either xD

    How've you been?

    been trying to earn some dough by drawing, with not much success xD so i shifted to trying to complete a few of my current models.. with a similar amount of success XD
    Hey, what's up?
    I'm currently making alternate Sylvanas model and I was wondering if I can use animations from your Rohan archer model? You will be credited after the model is uploaded, ofc.
    And now I have a cartoon-ized picure of my actual face :)
    Mister_Haudrauf
    Mister_Haudrauf
    Did you have drawn it? or made a picture via camera and tweaked the Picture?
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    I took a picture and edited it in Gimp 2, only took around 20 minutes
    Good day fine sir,
    I absolutely love your models. Your Captain Hook is spot on. I was wondering if you'd be interested in making any Labyrinth and/or Dark Crystal themed units?
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    "A Gelfling!"

    While I am unlikely to make a Dark Crystal model, I may make a goblin knight from Labyrinth or perhaps the gate-keeper, Humongous.

    "WHO GOES."

    Cool! I look forward to it if you do.
    Hey bro, I like your models. They are really good. From Lotr to Medieval to Modern Era. All good. I hope one day you make buildings for them and more units to fill their respective races. Bytheway, keep it up! You make models for DC. :)
    Been playing Star Wars the Old Republic recently. If you want to talk, pop onto Jedi Covenant and search for a Sith Warrior named Veradün.
