  • Hi Vinz
    First of all, congratulation for your new beautiful piece of Art.
    I had a question bout the imports of your models.
    Why do you keep the War3Imported in the path?
    If I want to change that, how can I do that?
    Hey. Maybe you could spare some thoughts on FX creation?
    Hello my friend. I can't find SD textures for Winter Blast (1.32) this one. The only texture is AzureGlow5.blp, but it seems there are should be more of them. Thx you for your art work!

    Solved. I decided to finally turn on my brain and changed the texture pathes following the guide you mentioned below.

    Hello! Hope this messages finds you and your mother well, also i wish you two have a good holiday months ago! Tho i have questions, will we ever see a new building model? Perhaps one that is related to the Scourge? I'd love to look on your take of it!
    Sorry to bother u pal, but may I have your attention just a little? Are some of your creation supposed to work on 1.26 too? Like this one. Malevolence Aura (1.32). I have no idea why some of your models do not work, it's like im trying to remove all war3path from blps like it's said to, but no results.
    Great models btw, I used much of your art works already, wish u more goodluck with mother. I'm pretty sure I can not donate anything, since my russian cards are blocked everywhere.

    On at least one occasion I used a vinz model on 1.26 by backporting manually. It doesn't really require Vinz to solve it; you can use any 1.26 based software that knows how to check for missing texture paths, and then backport the corresponding textures to 1.26
    since generally the issue is texture assets missing on the old version and not actually an issue with the MDX

    Thx for helping me out. I heard about model software, but I dont know what means "backporting".
    Even if you are busy to help, no problem. Ill figure it out myself.

    Greetings.
    Backporting means extracting assets from a newer version and then importing them into an older version.
    I only began backporting textures in the main bundle after the model in question.
    However, I did upload the Reforged textures in the threads for my resources with (1.32) in the name.
    You can use MDX Pather to change texture paths to something you can easily type in the old editors.
    Good luck, and thanks for the well wishes too.
    Sending prayers to your mother. Hang in there.

    Why thank you! I am not planning on recolors of my old models, although you have my permission to edit as you wish. :)
    Hello vinz, I wanted to reach out and inform you that I've recently published my campaign, and it incorporates several of your model resources. I wanted to express my great thanks for creating and sharing these resources, as they have significantly contributed to improving the overall quality of campaigns on HIVE. Thank you!
    your spell effects are way too good!

    Good to see that you're really active on the Hive again. It seems like we swapped places, like the time you were inactive and that was my peak of activity, and now you're the active. Really proud of what you did here Vince ;)

    Do you make special effects for other games/engines ? Is the price the same ? Asking for a friend :ogre_hurrhurr:

    Hey. I haven't done VFX for other engines, and I'm not taking commissions at the moment.
    I have an other problem sorry.

    I try to use theses sfx but whenI do it crashes the game....

    I checked on sanity and there is no error

    Have you got an idea? How can I fix that?
    I came to say your effects are amazing and you could give Mythic a run for his money. Then I realized... lol I've been gone quite a while. Excellent as always. I'll keep you in mind if I need to commission something specific.

    Hello man, how are you?

    I found that model for a map:

    The problem is I need an animation of attack alternate that is exactly the same as stand alternate
    How can I do that? Do you think it is possible for a beginner with mago's
    Have a nice day
    :peasant-shocked:With this much amazing effect blessed by dear lord Vinny, have you been sleeping well? Also, you dropped your crown.

    With Magos', you can try Edit -> Calculate Extents; and if that doesn't work you try to create a Collision Sphere in the Node Manager or edit an existing one to make it big enough to cover the whole model. Edit -> Properties can toggle collision shape display.

    Hello man, I hope you're doing well

    I have a new problem with one of my unit model, it is unselectable by unit target spell. With the mouse I can select it.

    Do you have an idea what I can do to fix that.

    You can try Edit -> Calculate Extents in Magos'.
    Ho man I spend soo much time too find your sfx. Cause you changed your name...
    It was worth it
    Hey Vinz, do you still actively create SFXs? Or are you currently creating them exclusively for Daemonic?

    oh, maybe in the future, bah I dont know how much is the cost for that
    I just opened your Spell Markers model today to study them. At first I didn't know how you colorized the different variations. Then I realized you can change the color via Geoset Animation in War3ModelEditor. Retera Model Studio doesn't seem to be able to do that though and I mainly work with Retera Model Studio at this point. What software did you use to make those spell models?

    Beautiful! I'm very interested in Blender as well. Getting started soon. I hope you can give me some guidance when I need help on the way. I also successfully modified your Spell Marker model for my new campaign in development. I'll post it here for you to see eventually. And of course, the credits goes to you.
