Ok, I'll do it.

Thanks so much! looking forward to it

Ok, so I textured two versions of the skin. I tried pathing the first one onto the World Editor, to no avail.
Load these, and tell me what you think.

As for "recreating models and skins from reforged into classic," I am interested in having some Reforged-esque versions of classic elven buildings.
If you want "Re-Classic" versions, there is johnwar. You should talk to him.

They both look great, nice job, if I have a favorite it would be the first one, the second one makes all the leaves look purple on some trees. And only one thing that could be fixed is to decrease the contrast of the color of the trunk so that it looks a little less light.

Okay, here's the redo. I applied -63 to the Brightness, so the trunk appears darker for its environment.
Tell me how this works (better yet, share with me the path to make the skin seen in-game) and I will post this under my resources, including you for credits.

Looks much better now, even better in-game, great work!
Of course, the skin path is:

ReplaceableTextures\AshenvaleTree\AshenTree.blp
This one changes the regular Ashenvale Tree, for the Ashenvale Canopy tree, the path is:
ReplaceableTextures\AshenvaleTree\AshenCanopyTree.blp

If someone wants to use this skin in combination with the original Ashenvale Tree, they can always use the Felwood Tree wall, which paths are:

ReplaceableTextures\AshenvaleTree\FelwoodTree.blp
ReplaceableTextures\AshenvaleTree\FelwoodCanopyTree.blp

I annex two screenshots of how it looks in-game in case you wanna use them (I use some models from Tauer, kangyun, johnwar and Turnro, just to make it look much cooler)
There's no need to give me credit I just gave you the idea, you did everything else :)

One last thing is that I'm noticing that the contrast of the trunk changes a little during the day-night cycle, but I think that's just an issue with the game itself.
Thank you so much again! looking forward to more of your work!

I appreciate you liking this.
So long as we are talking about "purple-leafed trees," I do have another Ashenvale-esque Tree Wall Skin. It is a corrupted version, with purplish leaves and light blue bark, like the Corrupted Ancients.
Here's the image. You tell me what you think.
Since you like the skin, I have plans to upload both skins. Will it be alright if I borrow both of your screenshots? The texture strangely won't appear on my World Editor, despite my efforts. Perhaps it's the installation's coding?

This other one also looks pretty cool, like you said, it works great for a corrupted night elf techtree and is also a good replacement for the original Felwood Tree Wall. Great Work!
Of course you can, here they are: screenshots

The AshenTree_Purplish resource is up, under Textures.
I also uploaded the Corrupted Ashenvale Tree, if you are interested.

Again, thank you very much for making the skin I suggested and also the one you did for the corrupted version looks much better than the original Felwood Tree Wall. Great work!
As for the terrain art you mentioned, it looks pretty cool too, may I also suggest making a terrain art for AshenTree_Purplish using this terrain art by leaving some of the leaves purple and making the others look greenish and bluish?

How do you like the Ashenvale skin? Would you like me to make another, tree or otherwise?

Hello! It met all my expectations, also I really enjoy the corrupted version, you did a great job thank you very much!
Actually there is, but it's more like a repair or maybe if it can be redone. I found this skin for ashenvale trees in this map that makes them look like quel'thalas trees and it looks great, however it annoys me that the trunk looks very metallic. So I don't know if there is a way you can fix it.
Don't worry about the author of the map, he said that the skin was just taken from WoW so it can be modified without problems.
StonemaulMidget

The Map reads it is written by Blood Raven.
Did he make this skin, too?
ragmb2194
ragmb2194
As far as I know he didn't. In one of the comments on the map he said that he ripped them from WoW so technically it's not his.
StonemaulMidget

Okay, that's all I needed to know.
I'll work on the skin.
EDIT: I've looked at the skin. It looks more dead than metallic, but I can see where you see the "metallic" part. If it's a dead piece of wood and it gets rubbed, it does leave a polished shine.
