HappyTauren: Nice rewrap of a Blizzard's model, should make it look more fitting among buildings that use Cathedral textures.

I am confused with the model preview honestly. But I figured it out!

Useful 3/4.

A useful re-wrap, as it goes with the cathedral doodad, allwoing to extend its use.
Could be useful for Human-themed maps.

Why is the file-size higher than mine ?
Shouldn't it be the same ?

Why is the file-size higher ?

I have no idea either, I even tried using mdl squisher but it gave me the same size, this is why I was surprised when I saw yours was smaller and commented about it. Either way it's just like 7 kb bigger so it's not a big deal.

It is... A BIG DEAL.


Joke. Maybe the Cathedral Texture adds to the size?

Interesting, I like this crypt too.

MDX squisher will never reduce the size outside of a compressed archive. The way it works is that it zeros out a lot of values so that if your vertex is at position which is equal to 10010110 it will replace that number with 10010000, basically it zeros out the least significant bits (this is an 8bit integer so it is an oversimplification, the numbers used are a form of a float value, probably 32bit). Anyway, all this "zeroing out" is so that compression can take consecutive zeros into an account, hence compressing them much easier.

Your model has larger filesize because it has more vertices, this is because you have more seams in your UVW. It could probably be reduced, but it is not a big deal.

You should scale/raise the roof a little.
