HoTS Shaman

This bundle is marked as pending. It has not been reviewed by a staff member yet.
WARNING does not preview properly on Hiveworkshop due to using skin weights. Model can be previewed in Reteras Model Studio or in-game.

Heroes of the Storm Rehgar modified as a replacement for the Orc Shaman Warcraft 3 unit. More work than I feel like listing out.

Post in comments if there is anything that is not feature complete about this model. The intent is to replicate all functionality of the WC3 game units.

Hello! I've downloaded your model, did some testing and I can offer my review. Same problem as with your Grunt model: - Upload a separate version with optimized textures or modify the existing one Also, there's no need to upload default warcraft 3...

The 3d preview cannot render models using skin weights therefore the hive online preview does not work. If you open the model in your map it will work if you are using the Reforged client in SD, SD+, or HD mode.

To remove unnecessary keyframes, you can use TRMS:

  1. Navigate to Edit -> Optimize -> Simplify Keyframes.
  2. Uncheck "Only selected nodes".
  3. Enter 0.01 for each input field (Translation, Scaling, Rotation).
  4. Click Simplify.
This process reduces the MDX file size from 1.27 MB to 852 KB.

There’s an issue with the initial pose:

  • Stand 4 and 5 differ from Stand 1, 2, 3, and 6.
  • Spell 1, Spell 2, and Death share the same initial position, but they should match the initial position of Stand -1. Btw, Death is the only animation that is correctly centered.
This discrepancy is noticeable in-game.

Simplified keyframes, centered animations, added Stand 1 starting keyframes to animations missing it.

Thank you for the well organized list.

Thank you for reviewing.

I have uploaded an optimized version using .blp in addition to the higher resolution version. In this way people can pick the best one for their purposes.

As for the icon please understand these are not the default warcraft 3 icons they are higher quality upscales than Reforged.

Please see below for comparison:

You should really try to merge war 3 animations into hots models, this one with war 3 shaman anims for portrait would be perfect
