This is my attempt to restore the Ranger hero from the Reign of Chaos Alpha (unreleased content). Most of my modifications are in the portrait. I reviewed this model while working, although my model is trying to be like the old photos of the Reign of Chaos Alpha:
The model here does not have hero glow on the base of the model -- only on the weapon. This is an attempt to match the style of heroes in the Reign of Chaos Alpha. For the Warsmash Alpha, it seemed like it might be cool to style heroes differently in this way, to match what was seen in unreleased images of earlier versions of the Warcraft III that were never published.
Could you post a link to the better functioning version? Or do you just mean the Kuhneghetz one linked in the model description?
I think the functionality of that one and this one were roughly the same -- just to make sure I'm understanding properly, do you see a specific case where this model could be improved to function better in some way that the old Kuhneghetz version does? (Other than the hero glow style difference, which was intentional for this asset.)

That is correct.
If you make a model then you have to make sure it functions properly. Leaving things visible in the decay animations where they should not be visible is just lazy and please don't tell me you cannot see them. I can see them and the rules say models need to function properly they do not.
There is nothing more I hate then laziness and then people talking more about it then fixing the issue.
Well, I didn't notice because I didn't look. Ingame I was using this character as a hero. I think the model was literally based on shandris, with extra customization added, and part of the "split geoset and add team color" functions in Retera Model Studio that I was relying upon to not break probably broke and caused that visibility bug. So in this case it seems like it's actually a programming issue more than a model issue, since we should be able to rely on the tools to work without causing a bug like that. Definitely seems like a programming bug worth fixing
Hey Vendro, I tried opening the Alpha Hero Ranger's portrait on Magos, but it keeps giving me this error: Unknown tag " " in Camera. Then it refuses to open the file.
Yours definately have a more accurate look to the pre-beta ranger model than my version, that's for sure. Good job on that.
Not sure about the facial expression though. Looks like she's seeing some serious shit.
