  • Hello HerrDave! :peasant-smile:
    Thank you for your wonderful models! So, I have a little question... Are you planning to post on Hive more Haradrim unit models? I saw some of them in the preview of your map "War of the Ring: Far Harad" and they are very cool!
    Hey whats up??

    I was going through an old hard drive and found a folder from 2018 in it with models from Lord of the Rings. I checked the read me and notice they were from you. The models are "Cargl Lord Mordirith" "Shelob" and "Nazgul Lord" (on foot) there may be more, but my question is how come I can't find these amazing looking models on the hive anymore?
    Hello HerrDave, how are you, happy year new, I would know if me you may give your permission for can publish some icons of your models, only of the models that not have icon as for example the captain orc or the old package of the models uruk-hai.

    Was everyone getting spammed with notifications while I was updating the pack?

    *Edit
    Ooooh wait, now I see what you mean.
    I didn't know how to quote/respond to multiple people in a single post without it breaking; my bad.
    Thanks for the guide there man :)
    Hi HerrDave!

    Сan I do icon and after publish that on Hive for your models Uruk Warleader by "Uruk-Hai Pack (War of the Ring)"?
    Hey Dave, I love your work! I was wondering if you would be interested in making some models for my custom map?
    Hey Dave, hope life is going well for ya.
    Do you have any King Elessar models laying around?
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    Hey Ragnar, it's going -- I'm building a composter today.

    I used to have one, but it looked terrible and ended up getting lost or deleted; I'm going to be remaking both Aragorn and King Elessar now that I've learned how to use Bezier bone movement

    I've got a bunch of unreleased Mordor Orc and various bronze/iron-age siege weapons I'm getting ready to release, just need to finish the 3 Battering Rams (Roman, Persian, Babylonian), Trebuchet and Mangonel.
    My cat was put to sleep today. :(

    I am working currently temporarily in school as schoolteacher.
    Oh by the way, by bad news perhaps you meant about some mass shooting recently happened in USA?
    Last week we also had mass shooting here in Serbia, in two days, one was in school, perhaps you heard about that as well, 17 dead and over 20 injured. We never had this before in schools.
    How about making a model of Archaon, Gotrek and Felix, Sigmar, Nagash? And other legendary heroes of Warhammer fantasy battles. It would be very interesting to see them in your performance. (Still dreaming about you models in "Game of Thrones")
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    Yes to all of that (at some point)
    Been a follower of u for ages now n I would luv n realllly appreciate the request to mess around w/ Colonial or Imperial European skins or Native American or African skins

    The WC3 World Editor is w/o a shadow of a doubt one of the best map/scenario editors Ive ever used for an RTS, so a colonial map say in the Caribbean, w/ models like the ones u put out - I saw ur Spanish Halberdier in production but IDK if u ever finished it - would be my next project ASAP :an:🧢
    Thnx for helpin to make this site so packed wit perfect content <333

    Hey Deasavia, feel free to modify any of my models to suit your project :)

    With my LotR models almost complete, I'm planning on moving on to Star Wars - somewhere between there I should have the time to make a few models like Colonial Guardsmen and Native Braves

    He actually did finish the Spanish units. They are in the Warhammer Infantry model pack. The gunners are in the Warhammer Handgunners pack. Naturally the Spanish Cavalry have their own pack. I also reccomend the Spanish Conquistador and Spanish Arquebusier . At some point I also plan to retexture Daves Spaniards to Portuguese since they are basically a pallet swap. Edit: These two models may also be useful for you Apatche Mounted Archer Swashbuckler
    Good day.
    May I ask if it's ok to edit your models, like putting bodies of some on weapons and animations of others?
    People are requesting for it a lot on xgm.
    Hey man just wanted to say I came across your YouTube videos about Warcraft modelling and thought they were great and really helpful. I would definitely recommend them to someone looking for help and recommend they be posted on the Hive somewhere, maybe in the tutorials section. I also read your thread and hope you've been doing better since then and I'm glad you're a part of this community!
    I'm sorry if this has been asked before but i noticed the war of the ring skirimish maps have some models that you have not released yet, namely the one of a haradrim with two swords and that of a human worker, do you plan on releasing them at any point? huge fan of your work and much obliged
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    Yup

    I'm going to release the Haradrim Warrior as part of a set with a Serpent Priest and Camel Rider (archer)

    Feel free to extract the model if you'd like, just know that the skin and maybe some of the animations might be different at full release :)

    Thank you for the quick answer and im looking forward to the pack :3 <3
    Hey, I love all of your models. It would be nice to have more matching icons even if it is only screenshots (not sure about the Hive rules). Like for the following models: Orc Slaughterhouse, Warg Rider (War of the Ring), Mûmak, Roman Infantry Pack, Uruk-Hai Pack (War of the Ring), Goblin Spearman (WotR), Orc Mound etc. Currently, I am adding two races for Lord of the Rings to my map based on your models and I also added a Roman race. Thx for your work!

    Is it possible to merge a quote into an already-posted message?

    I tried just now by selecting someone's text while the Edit window was open and hitting Quote, but nothing happened in the window; just got a little popup saying I'm quoting (but not where)

    Once you posted separate posts, you can't merge them, only moderators can. But you can just copy the content of one into the other and delete the one you copy from.

    Ahhh, thanks man :)
    Hey man :]. Some time ago I asked if I can make couple rewraps/retextures of your Factory for internal usage of my campaign, but got no answer.


    What say you :p?

    Nope. This is a derivative work, so I don't feel like I own any rights to distribute it. I'll release all of the original assets and WoW ports I prepared for my project, but derivative work of other people will remain exclusive.
    Will there be models from the Game of Thrones series? Or are you no longer making models?

    I've read, I just really like HerrDave's lord of the ring models and other universes as well. Especially Darth Vader and Sauron, hobbits are still very cool. I would like to see characters like Tyrion Lannister, White Walkers, and just Dothraki military units in the performance of this fashion designer. So I decided to ask if there will be models of models for the game of thrones.
    Hello HerrDave, is it ok if i use some parts/edit parts of your models for my project. Credits will be provided of course and models will not be available for public.
    Hey everyone, I've finally got the time, privacy, and equipment to record and release a Modeling Guide for Warcraft III

    Here's a link to the beginning of the series; I'm going to try and record the next part every day, to ideally have the entire guide be finished within the next 6 days

    Hope this helps!

    Hey man, i read somewhere that you got sick, i hope you get well soon, show that fucking virus whos kaiser boss!

    On a sidenote, your hobbit units are MAGNIFICENT, you never fail to impress :)

    Hey HerrDave,

    1. Even after the last couple of years you are still one of my favorite model creators. Still appreciate the Uhlans and Ironclad you did per a request of mine ages ago now.

    2. I hope you will get back to re-uploading the French Infantry packs, because I enjoyed it when it was around, but now I no longer have it. I understand if you are busy though, but I would be interested in seeing that one comeback. No offense to the other guy, but I like the "diversity" of your units and how it gives me, the user, options. Your updated German, American and English models are so great, had to redownload them...hope to keep them this time.

    3. I look forward to any future projects that you come up with, but definitely would love more of the modern stuff and more renaissance stuff. Either way, I will keep coming back here so long as you keep active. Your work is good quality and fits the mold of this game well.

    Either way, take care, and thanks for the resources.
    Can I donate you if I live in Poland? Can you PM me how much dollars you are usually donated? I earn in PLN so I have to pay you 4x times more than your American fellows :p I'd like to fulfill at least the lower limit of what you've ever gotten.
    At last, I love your models. You're in top 10 modellers here. I still can't wait for potential WW2 US Marines and German SS models to your Infantry Packs. And of course Warhammer stuff.

    I'm sure it's possible, though I don't know the specifics of how it works; my donation page is on BuyMeACoffee

    Could you zing me some artwork of the Marines and SS you'd like the models to be based on?
    The packs are pretty much finished, but I'm not against adding to them :)
    Hello there!
    Back in 2018 I asked you about a grass model you had in your album, as I thought it was a great vibrant green. I think your resources give a beautiful sheen on maps by making them a lot more brighter. I was curious if you still had any plans to release it? The model in question is this: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/media/model-116.120681/full?d=1523166841
    If I recall you mentioned something about a plant pack but I was still curious enough to ask about it, as a map I'm working on relies on vibrant colors. That's all!
    Hello HerrDave, what program do you use for editing models since reforged? I'm searching for a program that can view models and make some quick edits, I was using Magos before reforged but now it seems to not work properly (won't show textures). If you have any idea about a program that I can use primarily to view models and secondarily to edit i'd appreciate it.
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    I still use Magos model editor and MdlVis, but I had to move the old .MPQ files off of the original disk in order for textures to open

    Magos and MdlVis don't recognize .CASQ files, which Reforged packed the old .MPQs into

    I think there's some .MPQs floating around the Hive for folks with exactly the same issue you and I had; but yeah - I transferred them off of the disk to fix my tools

    As far as alternative tools goes, Retera's Model Editor is rumored to be like a combination of Magos and Mdlvis on steroids, and it can open .CASQ and Reforged models
    I've only used it to duplicate or transfer animations though, since the UI is so different from what I'm used to

    Thank you Herrest of Herr Dave.
    By the way, what happend to your WW1 German Soldiers with gas masks (alongside the mounted variants), I was quite fond of them since they were just riflemen edits.
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    Those were modified a ton and eventually turned into the WWI rifleman I have now

    I can probably create a gas-masked rifleman to add to the pack again

    Not sure what happened to the horsemen, I think I might've pulled them during the revamp and never got around to it.

    I see that you are from Florida! Why did you leave the subtropical coastal region at the center of the USA with no coast at all? Too much ,,welcome to the Miami beach!" ? :cgrin:

    Oh by the way, I am fine, preparing for the holidays. I need to start these days to work on my master work to graduate.

    We lived in a pretty dense area, which isn't the best place to be in during 'interesting times' so Dad wanted to move to the mountains

    This is going to be the first year I see snow :)

    Hey, I wish you well on the road to graduation :D

    Thank you man! I am glad to talk to you!

    Oh, first time yo usee snow? You must kidding me. I have been few times on sea actually. But never in tropic.
    You in turn never saw snow and mountains since there is flat mostly. And tiki bars and coctails. And girls :cgrin: And storms, sharks... at least there is no shark in mountain haha!
    Oh I see snow regularly, but during last few yers we get less and less snow in my city because it used to be warmer. two weeks ago I saw in snowstorm in my cousins village. I even uploaded album on facebook
    I hope all is well on you.
    Would you mind updating your Druzhinik model to include a team colour plane and talk animation for the portrait? I'll also take time to express my discouragement about how no one put time to make mounted Druzhina models and given how you delved in to mounted warrior models I thought you would.
    Cheers.
    HerrDave
    HerrDave
    Hey SNIper, I completely forgot x_x

    The update to the Druzhina could probably be done pretty easily now, I'll update the texture to look more like chainmail instead of grey wool

    I'll look over the Druzhina thread again for details on the mounted one

    hi i looked at your models and was amazed if you can make a model of Darion Mograine (alive from the silver dawn) and can you make a silver dawn bag(units and banner)? I'm sorry, if something goes wrong, I'm from Russia
    Hello HerrDave May i ask you, do you accept a model requests?

    Hi HerrDave, I Have A Plan Model

    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
    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:
    Was partially used by me for this model:
    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:
