    Any advice on how to work better with model animations for Reforge? I want to try to improve one of your models, or rather, I'm talking about the troll warmaster model from your Dark Horde pack.
    I'd just like to make more animations for him, in the walking animation, more idle animations, and of course more attack animations.
    So I'm wondering if I should try to do it myself? (especially considering that I'm an absolute beginner)

    Hello, I believe that it is amazing all the models you have done so far. I want to become one day as good as you are at making models but I don't know where to start. Can you please be kind enough to tell me what programs do you use to make the models and afterwards how do you make the icons? Do you also have any tips on how to get started? Like how to learn :gg:

    So as working programs I only use Reteras Model Studio here from Hiveworkshop and to edit textures and icons I use a program called GIMP.
    This is a free photo editing program that is really, really good.

    And for learning? There are a few useful tutorials here on the Hive, which relate to editing "non-reforged" models, but are still up to date and otherwise:
    If you have a problem, ask someone who also uploads models here and who may seem competent for your problem... asking doesn't cost anything and doesn't hurt anyone. Just be friendly. 🙂

    I'll just give you a tip:Don't ask me about technical things.I'm incredibly bad at explaining... and sometimes I don't know how to get certain things done. I just do things. 😅

    Your feeling is simply important.
    Make sure your colors all match each other, that your model looks like it naturally belongs together. So sometimes simply changing a few shoulder pads and a helmet to a unit just isn't enough.
    The proportions must be right, the materials should have the same colors, make sure that the parts you use do not slip too much into each other (disturbingly).
    And:
    Don't think that good models are made just like that in a few minutes/hours.
    Some models take days to perfect.
    And during this time it can happen that you completely reject a model, change it or lose the desire to continue working on it.
    I have a bunch of models here on the PC that are waiting to be completed.
    Save them and work on them again when you feel like it.
    In the end it is a hobby and not a job. 🙂

    Hey! I'm a huge fan of your work! I'm working on a Fel Orc campaign, and your models are fantastic and are honestly making it possible for me to do this at all.

    I noticed in the background of one of your screenshots you had a bad ass Fel Orc version of a Spirit Lodge! Do you plan on releasing that? It would be perfect for the Fel Orc tech tree!
    Raddazong
    Raddazong
    Yes, when the Spirit Lounge is ready.
    I've just never made buildings before and I'm still having problems with the birth/death animations...
    Really can't tell you when I'll have the building finished... 😅

    I see, thank you for the clarification! I totally get it, and I appreciate all the hard work you've done. You've really brought the Fel Orcs to life as a faction!

    Hey there...
    Would you mind doing Clan Variations of the Fel Orc Raider?

    You did a excellent job of units too...Like the Peon, Grunt, and Archer...

    Fel Orc-Peon - Derivatives

    Fel Orc-Peon - Derivatives "Ok, ok, me go back to work!" Although still the lowest rank in orc society, the Felorc peons are an integral part of the evil war machine in Outland. Strengthened by the consumption of additional demon blood, they only tend to react a little "stubbornly" to their...

    Felorc Grunt - Derivatives

    You need a bit of variety in life. Even in the Fel Horde. No. Joking aside: To switch off my brain a bit and to think about something other than work, I just sat down here and simply converted the discarded concept drawings from Blizzard into models for Reforged. Easy job, but fun. I hope...

    Still and it's up too you as well...

    Where I come from there is a saying:
    “Langsam werden die schönsten Kinder gemacht!”
    (Slowly the most beautiful children are made) 😂

    I have a plan for the Fel Orcs and I will follow my plan 'till the end.
    When I will implement which step of this plan, only the gods know.
    Like the derivatives for the peons:
    They were a spontaneous action because I suddenly felt like tackling the topic.
    And three days later I uploaded them here.
    That's how I do it with everything here. Yes?🙂

    Pardon me, but if it's not too much to ask, would you be willing to make a version of your Dark Horde Orcs bundle with the more greyish skin tone of Blackrock Orcs?

    Hello, how about adding a draenei-based arakkoa pack?

    I have absolutely no interest in that. You'll have to ask someone else. Good luck!

    Naga - Tidearcher I was asked for a "Naga Archer" model and here it is. The model is based on the Naga sea witch. But I edited the lady so that the model here looks much younger than this old hag. ^^ This is my first naga ... hope you like it. Update, July 12th: The desired changes were...

    I apologize.
    It was just that I wanted to do that, but before I could change the post, the person (whom I also wanted to quota in the post) had already reacted to this post.
    And I thought it was a bit strange to take his message in there afterwards. No plan ... had an inhibition. Sry.

    Hi Raddazog, first congrats for all yours reforged models, your fel orcs models are very impressive ! Second, I have several questions :

    -Which editing model app do you use to make your reforged model ?
    -Also, I have a problem, when I import my own model (old and reforged) in my map editor, the texture is not applied, even if I import the texture, do you a solution, plz ?

    "The name I used in the picture for the hero, as well as the class name for this unit, are supposed to be a little silent tribute to the mod that brought me to this website for the first time so many years ago, which unfortunately was never completed and has now completely disappeared, except for small old mentions here and there.
    I hope this doesn't break any rules."
    Saw this line on your model upload... That wouldn't happen to be Heart of Storms, would it?

    also btw, "Heresiarch" is an excellent choice for a call-back name. There's a reason those custom unit names were 'burned into your brain'; it's because they were SOLID AWEXOME & very very good. I've been trying to live up to that level of naming my whole career. : )

    When I saw the post 4 years ago, I was hyped like hell.
    But hey. Since then, nothing more.
    Even if you google the name, you will only come across the trailer on YouTube or this post. Apart from the whole "Heroes of the Storm" pages. Yuck.
    I find it so sad that even the old website has been deleted from the mod.

    Why don't I say the name? Actually not because I don't want to or don't dare to.
    Those who know the mod, I think, will recognize which one I'm talking about and that's good.
    A silent tribute to all "who know". Like you. ^^

    I used the edit button and entered the update. I just thought, as it was a request, that I write something personally to the corresponding post.
    I will hold back a little with it in the future. Thank you very much.
