That's pretty awesome Fleck thanks for taking the time to polish it up. Hope everyone enjoys. I've always used spells for hero glow so it can be toggled on and off in the editor without model editing but hey if people want it baked into the model glad they now have an option to do that.

That's some impressive jiggle physics, especially in the spell animation 
. Well done mate!

Fixed death anims to not be doodie. Added standard WC3 model features like footsteps. Added attachment points. Completely redid Spectral's textures because I didn't know how to SD port HoTS textures properly when this was ported originally.

Hello! I've downloaded your model, did some testing and I can offer my review.
Ported Models must work when imported into a map without any kind of additional model editing.
Required for approval:
Ported Models must work when imported into a map without any kind of additional model editing.
Required for approval:
- For Alextrasza Spectral: Hand Attachments are still not properly set. Buffs float outside the model, attach them to their respective bones.
- For both Models: You changed Stand Victory into regular Stand animation and the transition between them is bad and doesn't fit; Leave Stand Victory as it is or work on their transition, it's not smooth.

Thank you for reviewing. The attachments should be fixed now. I have set the dance animation to a Stand Victory Alternate instead of a cycling stand animation to avoid the hitch in the transition. Also optimized keyframes on the Spectral to save space.

Is the sped up sprinting animation a part of the portrait? She is going wild in my when I try out her portrait.

You need to be more specific in regard to the issue and which version of the model you're using.
For the Alexstrasza non-spectral model I added a separate duplicate of the stand animation specifically designated as Portrait which may fix issues with the portrait not appearing properly. For most models having a separate animation designated portrait should be standard practice.

My apologies, I meant for the non-spectral Alexstrasza. Thank you for the explanation!
