What do you need?

*rifles through his junk drawer*

Here it is...

*thrusts the mess into your hands*

Can you fix it, Daddy? I broked it bad...

*sheepishly stares at ground*

Yeah, my Jungle Trolls needed a non-Voodoo Lounge racial shop, and I figured a cool sort of "Ritual Circle" would be perfect (bubbling cauldron, floating fetishes, racks of potions & ingredients, big magic arch-stones/bones, etc; just like the inside of a Witch Doctor's tent, right?)... And then I discovered supertoinkz model, which was just about as perfect as you can get for that... With a few edits.

But I tried, and while it's 'ok', the bones I stole from the Temple of the Damned look weird & gray, I can't wrap the base to save my life, couldn't decide the numbers of bendy bits... And I did all of this over 2.5 years ago. *shudder*

I can't fix it. Try to find someone more experienced. I've got as much experience in UV mapping as you do.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Yeah, fair enough. Thanks anyway. : )

//EDIT// Does, like, the mesh look good enough, though? Or what problems would say there are with it?

As far as I could see it's the same as the original model, apart from the bone spikes, so it's fine, except that the original model is buggy in itself (I don't know what you planned with leaving two pillars and replacing the rest with bone spikes). I didn't test in in-game since the model isn't finished and has some spare parts lying around. If you want to change the texture, you also gotta adapt the mesh to fit the new texture.

Hm, OK.

Yeah, I intended a mix of bone-spikes & pillars. That was intentional. I just couldn't quite decide on the ratio (hence the leftovers).

 

[Paillan]

Does anybody know how to edit tylesets? I wanted some black sand and so I did, but now the texture is square in the map.

Perhaps the alpha channel got opaqued?

 

[Paillan]

how could I avoid that problem?

 

[ILH]

Did you save your file as TGA, PNG or JPG?
If you use TGA, make sure you dont save it with opaque channel.
If you use PNG, I dont think there are problems, just convert it to blp with blplab.
If you use JPG, well thats where you lost your transparency.

I've made a supersimple rewrap of sylvanas's model with the high elven archer texture. Added eyebrows and a couple particles to the portrait real quick. It looks fine imo, but there's one doubt I have.

Since I am skeptical that something this simple has not already been done before, but querying this thread with terms like "archer" and "sylvanas" yields nothing, before I upload, in order to avoid duplicates, I kindly ask someone that is familiar with this thread to tell me off hand if this is something new.

Here's a couple pics of model and portrait:
Pictures moved from here to the template for submission, you can find them in the 2nd post below this one.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Looks nice. You'd be surprised how many times in the thread we've said "how could this not have been made before??"

 

[Cuore]

Very well then.

Sylvanas Archer Rewrap and derivatives
from:

to:

(BE variant: example pic here above)

Description:	As per title: sylvanas model rewrapped with the stock archer skins: i've made a high-, a blood- and a night-elven variant. Mostly just rewrap for units, small mesh and particles addition to portraits. Update #1: didn't like the blank eyes so I added irides&pupils, and a blinking global sequence to all variations. (images in the screenshots have not been updated with the change, only this one above) For modelers - improvements that still need to be implemented: fix eyebrows clipping.
Resource Type:	Model pack
Filesize:	Size unaltered from the vanilla originals: a unit model weighs 150k and a portrait model 60k. The complete pack is therefore 630 Kb
Credits:	Cuore
Path:	no custom texture needed. Still lacking icons at the moment this post is created, and help for those would be appreciated.

[Himperion]

Cuore maybe you should try using the Sorceress skin, to create a boss version.

 

[Cuore]

Good idea! the top of the blood elven portrait is already using the sorceress skin, seems easy enoungh to try extending it If you get other interesting ideas I look forward to seeing your results

Here's the result with the sorceress. I like the archer skin better tbh. I'm also sure it can be wrapped a lot better than this on the other hand :3

I'm seeing them all fine, what is broken for you exactly?

hmm this is still unclear, do you see images like avatars or the borders of the forum frames? Do you fail to see exclusivelythe ones I uploaded? In that case just get to the resource database page, there's acopy there.

Only your pictures, I can see all the others.

Alright should be fixed

It is!

Sorry for not giving image, I'm in a rush.

This is the "Acid Bomb" projectile but with the bomb removed and only explosion remains, so you can use it as a poison-explosion special effect.

More quick and cheap effects.

Hey guys.

Could you please take a look?
Broken 'Lordaeron Wall' variation

 

[SerenityInFire]

Could some one take a look at making the HighElfPeasant_portrait.mdx use the HighElfPeasant.blp texture instead of the RoC Priest texture? I tried using the free tools and even Milkshape 3D and all it did was piss me off and frustrate me to no end.

I hope this is good enough.

 

[SerenityInFire]

I really need the portrait to use the High Elf Peasant's skin for the face, though I really appreciate you changing the model to use the body texture of the High Elf Peasant. I think what I'll do is use your model and link it to a copy of the priest's texture. So thank you very much, I really appreciate it. You're getting credit and a special thanks in my map.

UPDATE: Here's ILH's edited portrait with my custom Drow Peasant skin:

Hello, can someone add this sigil to the chest of this model? and team color if possible to green zones that i marked, please

 

[Naze]

Like this? Note that I'm a sucky noob with these things haha. Uploaded two versions so you can see which one you prefer to use. You'll have to import the Arthas retextured skin with the filepath Textures/Arthas.blp. I also edited the Attack-1 animation which was set to looping, and that sucks in game. I changed the sigil to white because it was barely visible when black, but I still uploaded the ArthasBlackSigil.blp texture in case you prefer to use the black one anyway.

 

[Paillan]

I though of making the sigil TC but it appears I was too slow to edit this

 

[Naze]

Ah yes, I didn't even think of it haha. MadMax also asked if it could be teamcolored, so here it is:

Thank you

Hello guys, another request, can someone make from this images tileset? (every image different tilesets) if its possible

 

[Yoga WP]

Hey.....do you have Night Elven Farm skin for High Elven Farm model reskins ?

 

[Paillan]

Farm (Elf) and Derivatives maybe this helps

No. I just want A night elven farm reskins.

I fairly simple request: can someone take the Scarlet Footman skin and apply to the Captain model? I've tried doing it myself but it comes out weird. The wings on the head get covered and there's this weird spot on the back of the helmet that stays gray. If someone could just fix/avoid those two issues it'd be perfect.

EDIT: Updated this post to show what I mean. I apply the skin to the model and everything looks great except for the helmet wings, which are all messed up (but look kinda cool) and the back of the head, which has a giant, ugly gray blindspot that I cannot stand. I'll also upload my version of the model just so one of you can inspect it and don't have to do the work of digging through an MPQ and adding the footman skin.

Spoiler

 

[Himperion]

Is because the footman skin doesn't have the wings painted, the wings are on the "jaw" sides of the helment, and the grey point is on the mouth of the footman face under the moustache. Better get someone in the 2d lab to repaint that part in red, and draw the wings.

Sounds good. Should I make a new thread for this since it's a texturing edit or should I wait for someone to show up to this thread?

 

[Deolrin]

@Cuore - I really like the idea behind what you did, with giving Blood Elves some pupils (would love to see it apply to the Priest, Sorceress, Elven Footman, Elven Archer and etc too), but I think the execution could be improved a little. Take a look at how the Paladin's pupils are set up in-game. They are larger, the light reflecting off them (white dot) is at the top, not bottom, they are uniform and symmetrical, and they are better centered than yours. At the moment the pupils you made look a little bit too "derpy":

If you could work on that your resources would be a whole lot more useful.
