Moderator's Review:

change the model's internal name, replace 'SND' balrog attack, with something tauren-ish, change the death sound to tauren, change spell particles to something suiting a tauren, and remove the demon blood splat stuff

 

[JokeMaster]

Give it more TC and maybe modify the beard and as for me it will look ok.

 

[Roland]

Very nice.

 

[Zavorakto]

I know it's old and that the author is not active anymore but I liked this model so I did the fixes that the moderator requested.

The_Silent: Both models looks good and works ingame. Need permission from original creator to be approved.

 

[Solu9]

The model is rather nice.
Two things though.
- ~315kb for a model with no additional imports. Isn't that kinda steep?
- Do you have his permission to edit and upload the model?

 

[Zavorakto]

I don't have his permission considering he has been inactive since July 2013, according to his profile. Anyway, my edit confined itself to what the moderator had requested in his review of Bagysta's model.

For the model size I thought the same thing but I can't do anything about that.

 

[JesusHipster]

You always can optimize it.

Also, this model originally is nothing too special. No doubts you could take the same idea(of lazily applying fitting texture to doomguard) and making it yourself. Maybe even making it better!

Oh nice.

So I can take whatever model I find. Optimize it, and upload it. That's cool.

 

[Direfury]

Dire, you say?

 

[Zavorakto]

Update: Model optimized to reduce file size.

 

[ToastAddict1057]

Aweshum .3.

 

[Stefan.K]

I would say this is quite useful model. There are lot of room for improvements, however. I would change the weapon, made something from scratch.
I like those totems on his back. 4/5 from me.

 

[SNIper of DARKness]

For someone that has sat on this site for such a long time I would have thought you would have accumulated more knowledge, and not to be so harsh.


I think this model could work fine for the long awaited update for Bagysta model.
Having the model reduced from 600 kb's to 250 is quite great considering that this contains actually 2 models making the model be roughly 125 kb's.

 

[MogulKahn]

This guy made actually usefull model, and everyone is bashing him.. And on the other side we have these awful and useless custom models, and everyone is amazed how "epic" they are..

 

[Kyrbi0]

I won't jump into the "is it kosher to simply re-upload optimized versions of existing resources" debate, but I *will* say that we don't have nearly enough useful Tauren models, so that's pretty cool.

I would like to state that my opening points was not meant as an attack.
I have optimized a model myself once and I was told by the staff that I should upload the updated model as a post in the original upload thread.
At that time I was not able to contact the owner of the model as well.

post #35.

That is the reason for my curiosity.

The model is rather nice.

[Homor]

Damn.

This is probably my new favorite Tauren model ever.

I'm curious which models are you talking about exactly. You can answer me in pm.

As for the resource- I think they should be merged into one.

I don't see anyone who have bashed him as of yet. And none of the replies have been worse than what countless of other uploads has received.

 

[Arad MNK]

Noice, but the size is too much.

 

[BiroN]

I was looking for something like this
Great job to both of you.

 

[Grey Knight]

use the MDLVIS to Optimize the Model

Bashing him? Nope dont see bashes here, nope. Not even Spirit Breaker's 17% bash isn't present. Dont worry I double checked for bashes using my bash detector-inator.
------------------------

Anyway great model! This is pretty sweet considering the small amount of Tauren custom models present but before getting approved, shouldn't the ownership be changed to the original creator? Just curious

STOP STALKING ME, AND GO FINISH THAT AWESOME CAMPAIGN!

 

[Warseeker]

Oh my, this model is so great!

 

[Augustus_Magnus]

Omg very nice

 

[Kyrbi0]

Gotta say, this is pretty ingenious, and quite useful. I have a few qualms, but it's really more personal taste (weapon, back-stuff). Good on ya.

 

[Zavorakto]

Update: Changed the weapon and added more teamcolor.

 

[Maximal]

Why is it still not approved, again?

 

[Ralle]

I merged the fixed model bundle with the old model bundle.

We encourage fixing of old resources.

Set back to pending.

Model moderator: Please verify that the models with (Fixed) text are fixed.

I just checked them, the fixed units behave well ingame, look good, and pretty much have everything that i have noted in my mod-days, fixed :-] what about the old ones tho..?

 

[rcshaggy]

Could you do a skin edit with this model so it looks like Baine Bloodhoof?

 

[Hazop / Sarven]

BEASTMAN REEE!

 

[Watcher]

Very good model, hive seriously needs some more tauren/beastmen/bestial like models

 

[lraccarl]

nice model! can you make a female version of this?

 

[General Frank]

This might be useful for some people, but the edits are rather marginal.
I don't feel the edits are big enough. Too me it looks like a skin change and some minor geo-merges.
