GrommashHellscream

[Gokusek]

My favorite model of all time 10/10
It's simply perfect

 

[Aleister]

It would be great if you will create a skin for the uncorrupted version.

Good job!
5/5

Major update:

Gave Grom a little face-lift because some of his low quality-ness was bugging me. Changes:

• Did some touch ups on the texture. Face and hair is much more detailed and crisp, and the rest of the texture has much clearer highlights, resulting in an overall better look.
• Scaled up Gorehowl quite a bit because the old one was way too puny. Also moved it close to his hand, so now his grip is closer to the head of the weapon. This looks much better and less like he's balancing the weapon by the end of the hilt.
• He now boasts both new and reworked animations. The walk cycle has been completely redone and should look a lot more dynamic, the attack animations have been tweaked to look less awkward, and he finally has the cinematic animations, which brings me to my next point:
• He now has a Chaos version, as well as the above mentioned animations. The animations are built the same way as the vanilla version, so it's not an alternate animation set. It's for use in cinematics, like in the Orc campaign.
• The portrait animation has added bones, resulting in more realistic and less static movements.
• His weapon and hero glow now has global sequence animations.

There might be more, but that's all I can think of right now. I've decided to leave the old Grommash here as well, for comparison purposes and in case people would like to use it.

The update is just plain awesome. You never disappoint, Tauer.
I was recently observing how your models improved over time and was thinking what your initial models (from recent times) like Grom, Garrosh, Durotan and Garona would be like if you had made them today. And just as this crosses my mind, you break through with this gorgeous improvement on Grom.

I am always excited to see what you bring up next for the rest of us, warcraft 3 modders. Keep up the badass work!

This was the best model for GrommashHellscream that I've ever seen, your job was great. 5/5

 

[Italic]

Chaos Grom look very useful for a Dota 2 wc3 map. Very nice.

 

[Hazop]

Good job! Fantastic Model!

 

[master Gul'dan]

For chaos version, it's better to design green eyes.

It seems your model file is corrupt. Tried loading the file several several times, doing it very thorough, however it would never work. Just a heads up for you, and maybe you can fix it? It does look very good, and i'd hate to see such a good model go to waste

This model works fine, as far as I know. However, once I did have troubles making one of Tauer's models work the very first time I tried to import it, for some reason. I had to do it many times before it could be displayed properly, I don't know why. I would recommand to delete everything about this troublesome model in the import manager (all Hellsceam's .blp and .mdx files), then save your map, exit WE, and try importing again. Also, make sure you set the right path to the textures: remove war3mapimported before the name of .blp file. In addition, after you imported stuff, always save your map before doing anything else. If needed, you may also want to restart WE. Hope this helps!

This is just pure awesomeness! 5/5

Thanks for the tips, however i've already tried all of the above, more than once. I've probably spent between 1½ hours and 2 hours, trying to get it to work. I've read countless posts from other members and read different possible "solutions", however none of them have worked. Of course i can't tell anyone that it isn't working, if it works in their game but it doesn't work in mine.
No matter what i try, it keeps being invisible and unable to load the file.

 

[Sieben]

That's odd. I'm thinking of something else: this model uses Grommash.blp and GrommashChaos.blp, even if you imported the regular green Hellscream only and not the chaos version. Both textures are needed.

It is very odd indeed. Usually i don't have any problems loading models but this one teases me. I've already imported all the files downloaded, yet it still doesn't work.

Unfortunately, unless someone else can report having the same problem I'm going to have to assume that it's a user error. Nobody else has had this issue, and I always test my models thoroughly ingame before uploading. I can't exactly fix something I can't replicate. Like @Sieben said, an invisible model is often a sign of wrongly imported textures. Perhaps you could upload a screenshot of your imports, so I can check filepaths?

Apparently it suddenly started working. For this i am very happy and intrigued. I hope i haven't too much trouble and thanks for the help i could get @Sieben . Keep making such nice models @Tauer

If it helps, I was planning on using this model in my campaign anyway. I'll go ahead and import it tonight and see if I can reproduce the issue.

Nice! I had the exact same problem first time I tried to import Tauer's Cho'gall: the first couple of times it didn't display, and all of a sudden it worked. And I never had the issue again. WE's import editor is not great though, you probably just had bad luck!

 

[Tauer]

Didn't notice that the issue is already fixed. That's good

As @Sieben says the Import Editor can be tricky sometimes, I have issues once in a while too.

 

[Rogue Kessler]

That would be helpful, thank you

A little late, but: I imported these files and didn't have a problem.

Grommash.blp
GrommashChaos.blp
GrommashHellscream.mdx

Here he is in the map:

Glad this worked out for everyone!

 

[IanTay]

Um, anyone know why I can't see the normal Grommash model? If anyone else can figure out why I can't see it please tell me.

You mean in-game or in the editor? If it's not showing up in-game there's probably a problem with the filename - maybe it wasn't imported to the right path or there is a typo somewhere that's referencing the model.

If it's just in the editor, try importing the model, clicking save, and then relaunching the editor. That usually fixes editor display issues for me.

 

[IanTay]

k I'll try that, and yes I mean in-game

 

[IanTay]

Ya that didn't help XD

Hey could you show me how yours is put so I can see if I'm just being stupid in my map msking?

 

[IanTay]

The image for Grom is distorted and idk why. If I did something wrong please point it out.
(Unless the Grom image is supposed to look like that)
@Tauer @Jake Kessler

 

[Rogue Kessler]

Scroll up to the resource at the top of this page and follow this link:

This will tell you the paths you should use for important the model and texture:
GrommashHellscream.mdx
Grommash.blp

(In this case just delete the war3mapimported/)

 

[Rogue Kessler]

As a side note - Grommash.blp is the skin for the model, it's not an icon. That's why Grom's hero icon looks so weird if you try to use it for that.

 

[IanTay]

@Jake Kessler K I did the remove imported thing, and now the model is working thanks for the help

 

[Rogue Kessler]

Yw!

 

[22FrosT22]

Parabéns, ficou muito bom! Great Job 5/5!

 

[Valandis]

can you please make the same model without the axe please? I wan to add a custom one :/

 

[KI60]

Great model!

 

[DMN Carry]

 

[Zyelli]

Very cool Model.

Thank you dude, I'll follow the steps, but I truly tried everything I could for 2 hours and couldn´t get it to work. Starting to think the model is not optimized for local overriding and just works well with proper importation, which I cannot make any use of because I use models to play on dota maps which are protected and can't be edited. Didn't have this problem with other 10 models but this one really got on my nerve. Would love to make it work eventually, if you could provide another little hint, it would be awesome.

I really don't know what could be the problem if you followed the link, sorry can't help more.

When I saw your account was up since 2011 I thought that you would know everything that could be happening to me xd Or that you could give it some minutes of your time to try it for yourself and tell me how you did it. The files in the zip for this model are a little messy for me. There are 3 mpqs with different sizes and neither of them I could get to attack with the skin files. The skin path is not properly expressed by the author, and placing the mdls on "textures" without changing any names doesn't do the trick. That's how much frustrated I got yesterday with this Xdd I ended up surrendering, but maybe give it another try in the future

 

[Tauer]

Replacing the ingame Grom with the model via local override is definitely possible - I know this for a fact since I have done it myself.

The skin path is not properly expressed by the author

The skin path is simply the root folder - the folder containing your WC3 executable.

That would be, the textures to be put in the executable folder??

 

[Stefan.K]

Put the custom texture in the directory where your Warcraft is installed, and also put it in the Models folder along with the mdx file.

 

[raypack]

Can we have a slim version of this model? Non fat/bulky Grom.

 

[Nikac95]

Excellent model!

I also wanted to ask, is there an Icon as well for this model? both the normal one and the fel version.
