UPDATE: Figured I might as well fix some small issues with my older models, so starting here with Lothar:

• Fixed all severe warnings in the sanity check and greatly reduced number of unused tracks
• Tweaked his eyes a bit to look less beady and derpy
• (Finally!) fixed the ribbon so it actually follows the shape of the blade instead of crossing it

When I first checked out the newly updated model, I wasn't sure if it was just me, my version of Windows, Magos' Model Editor, or what else. But I detected that there was something off, which is I saved the updated file in a different folder (to avoid replacing my previous download), and I believe that the attached texture file is of lower quality than the previous one.

I took a few screenshots:

Spoiler: Screenshot #3

Spoiler: Screenshot #4

(Left being the original model/texture, right being the newest one, which indeed has more artifacts than the former.)

It may be the Model Editor, it may be intended, it may be the optimizer tool's fault; it may not be readily noticeable in-game and therefore irrelevant altogether - but I still felt like point it out, especially if Tauer might start going through his older models in a similar way.


Apart from that, the model is and has always been obviously incredible, all around in terms of design, animations and execution of the source concept. It's a great addition to any project set in and out of the WCIII universe and to the site overall.

Interesting! It's probably because I used a different setting for the compression value when I converted the texture this time. I don't remember how much compression I used when I originally uploaded this – if you don't mind, could you tell me the exact filesizes of the two textures you have?

UPDATE: Looks like I accidentally uploaded a texture where I had experimented a bit with a sharpening filter which resulted in artifacts. Should be fixed now. Might still look a bit different than before because I still don't remember the exact compression value I used before. Thanks for pointing this issue out @Voidwalker !

Made an alternative icon kit if anyone would like to also use it.

How to install model ?

This model blew my mind! You've made a completely unique unit here. It was like seeing the Paladin in WC3 for the first time again.

5/5

Another Awesome work, Tauer ! In my opinion, it is the best model made about him! Thank you so much!

Do you know if there are any campaigns that use it? This character deserved a campaign telling his story, for him to be the main character and show his story from beginning to end.

Fantastic!
