RPG/Villager Orcs, Trolls and Tauren

This bundle is marked as lacking. It fails to meet the standard requirements and may only have minor use.
I gathered the models into 1 bundle as I made more variations, for now we have a normal and a caster class/version of our RPG heros :)

The models are based on .KC's Villager I take no credit for this model, and you can alter it and stuff i don't mind.

Edit: Misha has given his permission to upload an edit of his RPG_Tauren, credits for using the edited versions still goes to Misha.

Enjoy!

Please add proper portrait (with portrait and portrait talk) animations to these model. I think they are pretty useful and adding proper portrait animation will definitely increase its usefulness.

@dtnmang I don't like my portrait models either lol :) I'm planning to atleast adding a 'talk' animation to them, and removing all but the 'stand's and 'talk' animation, as they shouldn't have that big a file size.

@gusanomental This bundle is for the Horde characters, but i am not opposed to making another bundle for another "faction". (tho i wish there would be a contest for RPG heros so we'd have a sweet selection :) )

On a side node the RPG/Villager Troll's loincloth looks odd, i will look at this aswell.

The models do not have teamcolor, I never was a fan of it so I never felt the need to learn how to do it :)
I might add a TC version during the weekend when i have the time to dabble with it, but i won't promise anything on that one as i don't know how difficult it is.

If so please remember that you are free to alter the models as you see fit, and do not need my permission.

Using Alethos' dummy-proof method for instant TC™ I suggest you should just update all the robed models with TC like so. It takes about three minutes. Attached is a model so you can check it out.

Moreover- if you're not going to do the portraits with talk animations just yet- just add a camera to the main ver models. magos > camera manager > right click > create from current view. (no portrait anim needed- it'll just use the stand ones by default). I would remove the portrait models for now- as it is they take up a lot of extra kbs for something that isn't needed.

Edit: There's a glitch- if you open any model with the 'modulate' filter in MDLVis it won't save as modulate- and you won't be able to open it in the Matrix Eater. To fix it you have to go back in in Magos and change the appropriate layers to modulate and save again. I have both the team color and the shaman texture as modulate to make the cloth lines look darker but you can also just set the replaceable texture 1 to none and remove the 'topmost' shaman layer in the material for a brighter look. You can probably figure the rest out. Let me know if you need help.

Really nice Alethos, thank you.
I will add TC to the models, add a camera to the model itself and remove the portrait models.

About MDLVIS not saving 'modulate' filtering.
This explains why i kept having to set my trolls loincloth with 'trasparent' filtering i think. At the time i didn't know why but I think i went back and set it up like 3 times, I didn't know why but guessing it's the same deal as with 'modulate'.

Expect the changes around the weekend, as I'm really busy.

Sorry Misha, I don't know how that slipped my mind :) Tauren is now added to the bundle name.
