Silvermoon Town Hall/Keep/Castle

Goffterdom · Jun 19, 2021

Finally! We love you and your dedication!

Can't wait for the release of your project

Rokoltira · Jun 19, 2021

nice guys or girls

BloodBro · Jun 19, 2021

Amazing! This is perfect for any and all Blood/High Elf themed campaigns from here on out, I can't wait to put this to use in my own custom maps. Fantastic work!

Galendor an'Kreil · Jun 19, 2021

Really great work, as always. I love how you guys merged WoW and Reforged styles in this model.
The only thing that I wonder is Stand Work animation of the Castle: I bet that inhabitants of the floating spire have permanent headache because of its spinning

InsaneMonster · Jun 19, 2021

Loving it!
Now we need a blood elf skin!

Ardenaso · Jun 19, 2021

Beautiful! Tamplier is really the master for Reforged structures

Superfrycook · Jun 19, 2021

Nice model though. 10/10!

LUV!!

AetherDude13 · Jun 19, 2021

I love this❤❤

StellarDusk3271 · Jun 19, 2021

Looking absolutely amazing! Hopefully you can also make at least an edit of the the high elf barracks since they seem to lack a work animation.

This is Awesome! I think pretty much I say the High Elf/Blood Elf Race is complete. I mean all the Buildings are like done.

Town Hall, Keep, Castle: Done.

Altar: Done

House/Farm: Done

Arcane Sanctum: Done

Blacksmith: Done

Lumber Mill: Done

Aviary: Done

Barracks: Done

Towers: Pretty much Done

Vault: pretty much done in terms of High Elf Shop

Workshop I say pretty much done unless you add in the Druid Tree with set Nature Units but I say done.

Units so far:

Footman: Swordsman

Knight: Elven Lancer

Rifleman: Archer

Peasant: Enginner/Worker

Priest, Sorceress, and Spellbreaker pretty much same unless with High Elf Skins.

Another Copy of the Priest Unit: Druid

Dragonhawk Rider Same and Gryphon Rider: Elven Archer Flying Unit.

Captain: Blood Elf Lieutenant

Motor Team: Ballista if the WC 2 Model is out.

Heroes: Archmage, 4 Ranger Hero Skins, Swordsman 2 and Blood Mage with High Elf Skin.

So pretty much I say the High Elf/Blood Elf Race is pretty much done unless I forgot about the Elven Docks for set Elven Destroyers from WC2, Silvermoon Guardians from TBC, and of course well basically Assassins or Scouts like Valeera Sanguinar but overall I say pretty much the High Elf Race or the Blood Elf Race is complete. You guys did a great job with this.

I hope we see the Human Nations, Orcish Clans, and of course even the Draenei Race that were in WC2 unless if somebody does something crazy like a Highborne Race with Units and Buildings of their own, Arakkoa in Outlands Draenor, Ogre Race if someone wants to recreate the Ruined Civilization of Highmaul of the Once Ogre Nation, Forsaken Race, and of course well Void Elves in terms of WC2 Meets WC3 but Void. But overall Great Job Folks and thank you for the Amazing Race Packs.

Absolutely stunning!

Retera · Jun 19, 2021

I wonder if it would be more natural to the game if you guys made a single model with upgrade animations for all three versions. That way, this model will also work for maps that are using the Melee gameplay data, which enables the hidden gameplay constant to cause upgrading structures to retain their previous model file until the upgrade is complete. When the game is in that mode, if each building has its own model like this, then the user will see:

T1 birth (building town hall)
T1 stand (finished town hall)
T1 birth (upgrading to keep, bugged case, user expects to see T2 birth)
T2 stand (finished keep)
T2 birth (upgrading to castle, bugged case, user expects to see T3 birth)
T3 stand (finished castle)

And I know that when you tested the model in game you probably did not have this problem because your map would most likely have been using the Custom game data set. But I think that if your model supports either game data set, then it is even more versatile

Well in that Case i need to merge everything in one file which is painful cuz you have many animations and you need to regulate the visibility and the only way to do that is text editor. If you want - you can improve this model)

khang2000 · Jun 19, 2021

this model is so good any hance a naga model please

it's OK, i have a plan, instead of doing it in a text editor, i can go back in time with a time machine and then spend 8 years building an automation software for doing model merging and by the time i get back to the present I'll probably have something that can merge these in 5-10 minutes by clicking a couple of buttons...

JamesF · Jun 20, 2021

Wow, I think HE is next one after the Dwarf？

BurnedSmackdown · Jun 20, 2021

Hell yeah!

DreadCool · Jun 20, 2021

Very nice bout time we got some cool buildings

, also that sky tower Wing I think would be cool on a Helmet. :goblin_yeah:

polatgeyik · Jun 20, 2021

omg

jedijoe84 · Jun 20, 2021

This is beautiful and reminds me of an HD version of SinisterX's blood elf building pack for classic War3

Zalfos · Jun 23, 2021

Very interesting model. A bit overloaded perhaps, and the low walls give a warped perspective of it at times, but it stands strong nonetheless.
The concept arts of it were just as cool, especially the Castle one who looks almost like an Observatory.

Nitpicking, but could you make the icons blue-team-couloured instead of red ? High Elven buildings follow the same blue convention as Humans (HEBarracks / Observatory / Towers / Arcane Sanctum) and it makes it stand out in the toolbar when you have a builder.

rcshaggy · Jun 26, 2021

Pretty useful and it's high time that the Blood Elves used their own buildings, and not the Human ones...

This is pretty awesome as well...
Great and I will give credit when I use it...

AetherDude13 · Jul 9, 2021

Last but not the least!!

Rogue Kessler · Jul 30, 2021

Using this in my map. Thanks a bunch, outstanding work!

Mr Ogre man · Oct 20, 2021

Great buildings that look as if taken straight from reforged, approved

Krotos · Nov 28, 2021

Do you plan to make a version that utilises Stand Upgrade animations like the original town halls do?

Tamplier · Nov 28, 2021

I don't have time for this at the moment. Retera made the united file in one of his tutorials. you can ask him for that file or follow the tutorial to unite the files into one.

Krotos · Dec 22, 2021

What's the update about?

Blood elven version with green crystals and purple flags.

It is a blood elf version with fel crystals, smaller trees, purple curtains and an homogeneous grey colour in all the buildings instead different colours

Ryzen · Jan 9, 2022

This looks great.

Can you make it as a skin for using in melee and advise if there's anything specific that have to be done in order for it to work just like other skins for buildings, units etc.?

That would be really appreciated.

Deleted member 238881 · Feb 25, 2022

I was wondering, could you guys recreate classic basic High Elven Farm for reforged?

oilio · Aug 21, 2023

Beautiful architecture

ForgottenNightmare · Dec 27, 2023

Okay. I love the Architectural synapsis. It really gives the Elves their mystical and artistic feel that they typically have. I am more fond of the Keep and Castle though. I don't know why, but if there is an additional particle emitter that is supposed to be shown in the working animation on the Townhall, it just doesn't appear in the View in 3D. I may just grab these models to use for myself on a project when I feel ready enough to start on it.

Yea, Reforged uses particles specifically designed so that you can't reverse engineer them in a way that would allow displaying them. That's also why these particles will not preview on Retera Model Studio.

The format is not made by Activision, but rather licensed from another company. I emailed that company and asked if I could pay for a license to put into Retera Model Studio, but they said that this was not available and the only open source software they support rendering inside of is the O3DE from Amazon or whatever. This format used in Reforged is specifically designed to be immensely complicated so that it cannot be displayed other than in the intended places that have a license to the code.

Edit: that's also why the Reforged campaign was crashing after the 2022 patches, because this format is so complex even the folks using it at Activision don't always understand it, nor do they have permission to learn since it's from another company. Makes a guy miss the elegantly simple, single structure PRE2 chunks used by Frozen Throne models

That explains that and the .pkb files. The lack of licensing is probably why we should keep everything custom that we make as nearly simple as the original TFT stuff.
