High Elf Cavalry

HappyTauren: I don't know what you've done but he looks terribly awkward in the walk animation, very unstable and wonky. Perhaps you'd like to make him 'jump' in a different way or more stationary, any way you can fix this? Besides that, the horse texture is awesome!

Basically, it is not a great issue, so I will approve this.

 

[Hate Pyro]

hey, do you know where is the azwraith model like in dota? i dont know the tags to find it, by the way, your models are great )

 

[Mickey Frogeater]

All that's left of elves are the elf heroes:Elrond, Gil-galad, Haldir, Celeborn and Galadriel.

 

[Plasma Boy]

Great model, as usual. 5/5!

 

[InfernalTater]

This is cool, but do you think you could put some armor on the horse, for a heavy cavalry version? I think it would probably look better.

 

[Seoki]

5/5 so cool

 

[Sumallo2]

Another great model... 5/5 again!

 

[Fingolfin]

Yes,i thought about it, but i wanted the white/gold/brown/black contrast that it has with the white horse. If i ever come along to make Rhûn cavalry, then you will see some golden cataphracts!

 

[lord_Turin]

all 4 models you made are great, its just a shame they dont really mix with standard wc3 models..

as suggested above i do think an armored horse would fit better in the wc3 theme.

 

[~DARK~]

Good Model ! I Like The Horse

 

[FromIronGrowsGrass]

Good work as always, these models mixed with the haradrim, dwarven, and ringwraith models give us quite a variety of lotr's resources to work with.

 

[Claw]

Don't know why, but i think without horse he looks better. But, of course, 5/5.

I don't see how the horse being armored would make it fit more with the wc3 theme, haha. The archmage has an unarmored horse, for instance. What makes it differ is the extreme contrast and saturation of the wc3 textures.

 

[GolluM_KoMe]

Are u serious ?? Omg ... so awesome ... All lotr maps're gonna have your models you rock

 

[adam678]

please next models urukhai swordsman,pikeman,crossbowamn and Mumakil

 

[Statharas]

Overused model is overused.

 

[David]

Holy cow this is so good.Nice work.The name should be : "Spartan" lol just kiding

 

[HOooDy]

The Horse is like a Pony ) But .. AWSOME!!

 

[Khairul]

What about legolas?

 

[InfernalTater]

You could give it a bit of white steel, if you intend to preserve the contrast. Doesn't have to be heavy armor, either; you could just give the horse armor on its neck, nose, and chest.

 

[Fingolfin]

Yeah, i checked that out, but if i were to have the same color as the soldiers armor, which would make sense... it just doesn't look good. Sorry.

 

[InfernalTater]

By the way, just thinking. Would be neat to see these models with everything the same except with steel armor rather than gold/bronze. If I were to make a simple saturation/contrast change to your textures for use in my own maps, would you mind?

 

[Fingolfin]

no problem, knock yourself out.

 

[DoogleMcDan]

That's a sweet horseman just as the others, I like that there is no armor on the horse, I feel it would not fit the feeling of the lightweight soldier who is riding it...

Rhun eh? Sweet, I can tell were you got the cataphract idea from (pretty sure it's not canon) Are they going to have pike units too? Or have you not decided yet?

 

[Fingolfin]

Well, as of rhûn i have not made much plans, i just thought it was something that might be fun doing.. I do think i read somewhere in the books that the horses would be armored like cataphracts, if not at least the picture came naturally to me as they wore scale mail for armorjust like the persian cataphracts did.

Ya i do agree though that as Easterlings I do think they represent the more "Persian" and less "Arabic" parts of middle earth and that cataphracts would make sense for such a people. I think it would be really cool to see that in Warcraft, as there aren't any cataphract models I know of.

 

[FRENGERS]

Your back fing!! Thanks you for back on modeling @.@ Your high resolution model 5/5 +REPT

 

[LeThrow]

cool! 5/5

 

[Dinodin]

Omg this model looks fantastic! I love LOTR and this one will be useful in my LOTR-map. Keep ut the great work! 5/5

 

[Marshmalo]

I just had a look at this in WC Viewer, the walk animation looks fine to me?

 

[HOooDy]

Edit :

Add some animation like rideless horse.

 

[Fingolfin]

I already made a riderless horse model for this by request of someone else.
Attaching it to this post. It might ofcourse be useful for any kind of horse unit and can be retextured to be a critter.

 

[Vortballat]

I do not have anything to say except...: 5/5

 

[Connacht]

Wow! Great model, like always. Is there any way you can make a Sindar variation of this, though?

 

[Fingolfin]

Here you go. Note that you need the textures from the sindar spearman as well as the Horse_White.blp texture from the high elf cavalry.

 

[Connacht]

Looks awesome! Thanks a lot.

 

[SNIper of DARKness]

The Horse is fabulous, it deserves it's own separate rating.

 

[V]

Good Job 5/5! Looks awesome!

 

[Ohmvoid]

Hey man is there a reason your model looks like that ? ecause your others models for the elves dont have problem but this one i don't know why its doing this

 

[Fingolfin]

Did you import the correct texture? It looks like you are missing HighElf.blp

 

[Ohmvoid]

hmm interesting because i have it imported already

 

[Ohmvoid]

and its like that with all the highelf models, but not your sindar models so that is weird lol

 

[Fingolfin]

Did you change the import path to remove the "war3imported/" part?

 

[Ohmvoid]

Yes man

 

[Fingolfin]

Is it the same after you restart the editor?
It is possible that Blizzard added a texture called HighElf.blp outside of the texture folder with reforged, or something. One possible solution is to convert the file to MDL, open it in a text editor and change the texture file path to be something like "HighElfSoldier.blp", convert it back to MDX, and then change the texture name in the editor import too.

 

[Ohmvoid]

hmm indeed, but now its working but only in the game so anyway its cool
xD
Thank's man
