shamanyouranus: Very nice. Looks very 'Amazon'-ish. This could prove to be very useful.

EDIT:
I've attached a zip file with the beta icons of Hero Ranger (made by Blizzard Entertainment). It includes a BTN, a DISBTN and a Scorescreen.

looks like WC2 Alleria

The model is the same as Sylvanas Windrunner?

I've got inspired by the Hero Ranger from the alpha and pre-beta versions of Warcraft III, so I've made a little remake from it to make this model look similar.

fail

somehow simple, but a really useful model

 

[Deolrin]

Er, I actually meant that it "gets the job done".

 

[D a w n]

hehe^^

 

[frostwhisper]

Why does pre-beta shit always look better?

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Why does pre-beta shit always look better?

Blizz decided to go with fail instead of win

Anyways, good sexified version of Sylvanas is always welcome.

Wow DvO its fantastic. Is that Jaina's head?

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Body part is based on the Sylvanas Windrunner model, while the head and the hood is based on the Jaina portrait model with a few shape edits.

So yes. =P

 

[Blayaden]

I recall suggesting this a while back in the forums. Whether or not its a coincidence, its AWESOME.

Thank you!

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Damn, those tree are so awesome in the screenshots D:, WHY BLIZZARD! WHY!! do we have those shitty pine trees! D:

 

[BonemanXXL]

very nice

 

[AIagremm]

Awesome model.
Much better then Blizzards ranger(why blizzard? Why did you delete those awesome models from beta. Its good that peopl like you try to... revive them.

 

[TheGodOfIron]

Simple editing, BUT TOTALLY AWESOME!
You brought out the Amazon feeling.

 

[Krarnal]

Well this is pretty nice I think blizzard sucks at choosing the right models but maybe they thought that these were fitting for warcraft instead?

 

[assasin_lord]

Awesome model.
Much better then Blizzards ranger(why blizzard? Why did you delete those awesome models from beta. Its good that peopl like you try to... revive them.

Blizzard still have the models in the game, the texture he used is an ingame texture called HeroRanger but it's not used in the game, also the sylvanas model have the texture in it's model, but as I said it's not used. Anyone with the knowlege to change textures in Magos can make a samiliar model in two minutes. But I must say that the new head is a huge inprovment, Bloddy well done

Yeap he's right, plus the reason why Blizzard removed that skin is because they think it's a bit to ''exposed'' if you know what I mean. Besides the Ranger is a High Elf not a Amazonian that also the other reason it was removed.

There are some slight changes.

 

[Deolrin]

Tau Empire, ever looked at the Night Elf Archer? =/

 

[Tau Empire]

Well there are differences between High Elf and Night Elf. Night Elf are nature loving people, hence Amazonian chicks with purple skin and pointy ears lol.

High Elf is arcane magic hungry civilzation, and the fact that they have no tattoos on there faces is one big hint why this model isn't on the official release.

 

[AIagremm]

High elven rangers do make tattoos on their faces sometimes(ranger from WC2 and Alleria Windrunner)

 

[Tau Empire]

Years have past, they could of changed a lot from WC2 to WC3 but that I'm not sure.

 

[Delterius]

High Elves are also known for being "nature loving" just not to the degree of night elves'.

Specially their Rangers who are druidic, in fact, there are even High Elven Druid Magi in lore.

BTW, the model is awesome 5/5.

 

[Link2006155]

blizzard should have used this

but look on sylvanas's arms (and on dark ranger model + evil sylvanas) on arms theres tatoos on sylvanas (alive) its green on undead sylvanas (dark ranger too) its black

wow yeah what the hell was blizzard thinkimg, makes me angry how we have such crapy trees in game when they could have released those!

 

[xorkatoss]

im just wondering...did you just took the sylvanas model and used this texture?
Abilities\Weapons\RangerMissile\HeroRanger.blp
or did you edit the model aswell?

 

[Deolrin]

Body part is based on the Sylvanas Windrunner model, while the head and the hood is based on the Jaina portrait model with a few shape edits. I also cleaned up the cape.

That's from the description, so yeah, he edited it a bit.

 

[azuriakc32313]

this was used in Warcraft Demon Craft Mod.. I don't think they gave credit to you..

 

[azuriakc32313]

wow yeah what the hell was blizzard thinkimg, makes me angry how we have such crapy trees in game when they could have released those!

ikr? the pines ryte now are bad.. they look like messed up trees..

 

[Mangotea]

Nice!

 

[StonemaulMidget]

Hive should have the ability to import sounds. If it does, tell me how.

 

[StonemaulMidget]

In the case with the Elven Ranger, I'd love to download the original voice (so long as the VOX isn't horrible)
VOX = Voice Over

 

[Kyrbi0]

Oh heck yeah. How am I just now seeing this? Love me some Beta-style resources, and especially the old Ranger.
