A request that will favor all [Dragon]

[Dimo]

As we all know, the dragons in warcraft III are terrible, both in textures and design, there are a few custom models out there that are barely worth the mention, and im sure that im not the only one who had to change his idea of a unit that was suppose to be a dragon into something else just because there is no model close to what every one picture in their head, so my request to all the great modelers in the great Hive, is to try and make a model worth calling a dragon, my personal request is a Frost dragon,drake,wyrm, yes, a simple idea, but a hard one to be executed well, i have been searching widely for it, but i found nothing close to it, and i need it so.
Thus, i make a plea to all the modelers, to take up my request not only for my benefit, but for the benefit of all.
Thank you for taking up the challenge, and if not, thank you for taking the time and attention to read my request.
Cheers!

Bolding and sizing up the text won't do any good you know.

It's painful to the eye and I doubt every modeler around would jump in and do the request this instant.

So good luck and have a ton of patience.

Thank you for the advice, changes made.

Direfury recently made a great Dragon model that really 'corrects' a lot of the issues with Wc3 Dragons.

Also, Sellenisko & Misha released a "ProtoDrake Rider", from which the Dragon is pretty good.

Otherwise, good luck.

I know about misha and selleniskos protodrake, but i cant find direfurys model that you are talking about.

And on the other hand, i need it with animations.

[Dimo]

Yeah i know the deathwing model, its realy well made, but i need a frost version of him if so, or a new frost dragon as a whole.

maybe this dragon, from early version of Warcraft III?

The texture of this early dragon model is still inside War3x.MPQ.
Sadly, no one is making worth the effort of recreating the dragon.

[Vinz]

Interesting, what would the texture name be?

War3x.mpq - UI\Glues\MainMenu\MainMenu3d_exp\FrostWyrm.blp

Edit: One more image of the dragon viewed from a different angle.

Holy C*ap, Blizzard had one good dragon model in wc3 and they scraped it ?

That dragon is perfect, i just cant imagine why would they leave it like that untouched, it amazes me, with a little bit of more extra work on it, it could be just..just perfection at its finest.

 

[Vinz]

Well because it is too perfect for all the other models they have.

 

[Dimo]

If thats so, well... thats just lazy , is there a way any one who can send me the model or something ?

I'm afraid no, you will have to ask someone with modeling knowledge to recreate the model.

 

[Dimo]

Damn... well if it needs to be recreated, better off making a whole new model, well i guess il keep on waiting for some one to take my request.

It's a poor substitute, but I bet it wouldn't be hard to re-wrap any old Wc3 Dragon with that fancy Frost Wyrm texture from Wc3 Alpha.

Yeah i know, but at this point there nothing more suitable, if it could be re-wraped, or done with better textures. The idea of the model is great tho.

 

[spellweaver]

This one is good?(its from WoW)
I can give it to you if you want it

Yeah, that be great, i just hope the file size isnt too scary like most wow rips.

 

[A Void]

What?

 

[spellweaver]

Its 3.4MB,i dont know
i upload it anyway , maybe you will need it

 

[Dimo]

That's what i had in mind, 3,4MB is way too big for a model, when your map limit is 7MB, the model maybe awesome, but it isnt useful when its too big.

 

[sniper_zero]

The map limit is 8MB and that's only for multiplayer.

 

[Dimo]

The map limit is 8MB and that's only for multiplayer.

Well ok 8Mb, and the map is for multiplayer, still pretty big file size.

 

[sniper_zero]

You don't have to worry about the file size if it's for a single player map. Just go ahead and use it if you want. 3.4 mb is hardly that bug compared to the other stuff you see sometimes.

 

[A Void]

or.. you can ignore the limit and use 8 MB Map Size Limit Remover. Check my signature.

 

[Wietlol]

Well ok 8Mb, and the map is for multiplayer, still pretty big file size.

I am gonna play multiplayer games with a few models that are 4-5MB.

Dat-C3 has a nice tut about exceeding 8MB file restriction.
Only works for imported files though.

EDIT: Dayum, I am becoming slow.
