BlinkBoy: Well, It's not perfect, but some people seem to like it. It works in-game, approved

 

[frostwhisper]

Useful little bugger.
I give him a 3/5.

 

[GhostWolf]

Beside the shoulder pads that seem to be x5 bigger then they should be, it seems to be a fine model.
Don't know what ya all hate about it :<

Yes it's a fine model and the evil-grimmy-face is awesome.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Yeah, this model sucks because it wasn't made by pr0 geomerger General Frank (no offence to frank himself)
-.-

It sucks because is not a WoW model. xD (I mean based on wow characters or creatures, not a rip)

From the screenshot look nice, the quiver is well done, I will test it when I come home.

 

[frostwhisper]

Don't take this the wrong way, HT. "3" is the precise rating for a stable, useful model such as this.

A "1" is indeed a bit harsh, however.

 

[Devine]

looks good BUT
on his upper leggs there two yellow stripes...
i sujest u fixe that and also make the shoulderpath less big

 

[TurtleGlove]

He has terrible posture. Many uses but small details bug me a little; for instance the fact the quiver isn't attached to him by any see-able means. 3/5

 

[Hawkwing]

Quiver seems to far over and he is too buff for the miltia head and the fact that he is a simple Archer.

 

[The Kings]

Well, It's not perfect

 

[Gath_Stormer]

ok but head looks screwy,bad posture,some arrows look bend. I would say 2/5 or 3/5 somewhere around there ill jsut say 3/5.

 

[MartianMan92]

Looks nice, but perhaps it would look better with a bigger head or maybe a tiny bit bigger skull cap. Still a 7.5/10.

 

[The Kings]

I think it's a good model! nice work,

 

[Lord_Sauron]

Wow thats great. Today I was thinking about how I needed a good human archer that had a corresponding melee form. I sign on, and look what I find. Thanks man!

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Fix the helmet heh

 

[HappyTauren]

Its fixed, I just didnt update teh screen

 

[bobbuttons]

Nice model! Good work- like the quiver on the back

 

[Ordworse]

Yeah! We have blood elven archers, night elven archers, but there aren't human archers in the game! Thanks, HappyTauren 5/5

 

[tunerband]

Sorry but i dont like the legs of the model but il giveit a 3/5

 

[Zombie]

Well, a human archer was made at last, but I don't think it's as good as your other works, HT.

 

[Kofi_Banan]

HappyTauren, HappyTauren, HappyTauren,HappyTauren ,HappyTauren, HappyTauren, HappyTauren finnaly quality not elven archer.

 

[Mysecret]

I think the limbs are all too long for a human, otherwise its pretty good.

 

[PimpMunkeh]

Overall, good minor. A few flaws though that should be pointed out:

For some reason, this archer had throat cancer (or in this case, an entire NECK Tumor) and must've had it removes because there is this gaping hole in the area where the neck would attatch the body. Only the 2 flanks of the neck atcually attatch the body. i'd suggest being aware of this if this guy is involved in a map that might have cinematics.

Head really isn't too big, its just alittle to far forward on the body. The head is however alittle elongated from the back of the head to face. Only noticable from direct side views (profile views practically). Doesnt seem all that noticable in standard game cam.

Lastly, he holds the bow incorrectly. As in, its attached badly. Its attatched at an angle to where he stabs himself with it in stand anims 1 and 2, while walking, and its tilted forward when shooting both attacks. This flaw is pretty noticable and annoys me. stil workable however.

And a little note: the bow string doesnt twang. Dont know why

My 2 cents? A hate U-Curve short bows. Maybe if it was more of a U-Curve Long Bow ( I personally like recurves). Just dont like its stubbyness feeling.

I liked this model over all. Very useful.

I'd like to ask permission to edit it honestly to make it into several upgrade forms for my map "Sovereignty". The edits will be minor, slight vertext adjustments to fit my needs. Credits will be due for every version I save... I just wanna know if I have to do anything special to edit it? is there a specific way I must ask?

-=Peace=-

 

[HappyTauren]

The model has been updated.

This model wasnt meant by any means to be used in cinematic, I just made it for Mechanical man's map since he needed one. But, still, I've fixed some of the issues. I have removed the string, because it is better to have none than to have unanimated one. PimpMunkeh, you have permission.

 

[Mechanical Man]

What happened with the screenshot?

 

[PurpleHephalump]

how the hell is that an archer

 

[HappyTauren]

I didnt change it

slayer: how the hell are you a slayer???

 

[PurpleHephalump]

CUS I FEEL LIEK IT idk

wow i wasnt ignored for once

 

[Gyrosphinx]

Yeah!!! Militia Power!!! a nice archer unit 4/5

 

[Darkholme]

too beefy/armored. plate mail+archer doesn't make much sense. leather or somethign lighter than plate would make more sense. not a bad model though. oh, and as an archer he should be skinnier, archers don't make good tanks.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Let's annoy him with the fact that there's a WAY better millitia archer available.

 

[arthasdeath]

with that model he look like a 90 year old man with problems with his back. maybe u should use the night elf archer as custom rig instead of the gnoll u apparently used. 2/5

 

[HappyTauren]

It IS night elf archer rig -__-
Look at her animations. You say she's got problems with her back too?

 

[PimpMunkeh]

What's with poeple saying the anims are messed up and thats it too buff?
Others were saying its too skinny/lanky

This unit uses Archer anims, so he is assuming the "scouting" feel with he posture.
Also, alittle info on Archers... They are not skinny.
Sure maybe nublet archers; But professional archers have chests, backs and arms as big as any warrior. Their legs are the only things that remain lanky/thin.
Why?
Try shooting a bow for 10+ years and see what happens to you?
Yeoman Archers from britian are f-ing HUGE! I'd hate to get knocked in the face by the fist from one of those dude. Thick wristed, buffed arms, back and chest muscles wielding all that power to pull back a steady shot on 125+ pound pulls... yeah... archers are not wimps.

P.S.
(bows to HT) Thank you for your permission! *jumps around happily singing* "I feel special! I feel special!" *fades*

 

[Darkholme]

I never said archers were wimps. but you dont do archery in plate mail, it interferes with your mobility too much. and as it uses archer animations commenting on the animations is useless. HT didn't make the anims, he just picked which unit to use the anims from.

 

[Herman]

Christ I hate the NE animations

They are only good for something that looks like its small and sneaky

This guy is much too buff for the NE animations, looks pretty awful on him

 

[Ore-Orc]

Great model 5/5

 

[NatDis]

The right kneepad goes through the knee (which is again a kneepad texture) in certain anims. Same with the plate on the left forearm. Then the arrow is shot from the wrong part of the bow. Arrows are shot from the middle whereas this your archer shoots it from a point from where it would be impossible to make the arrow go straight. And no one venerates an archer who can't talk. Make a portrait.

 

[Kazuga]

Why does so many whine about this model? I think it's great and there is absolutlely nothing wrong with it. 5/5 you deserve it really.

the model is well made there are just small issues with it. mine is the problem of theme, and then there are some small technical issues apparently.

 

[Herman]

Generally speaking, there are quite a few archer models out there that pretty much suck

Only a few are good, and to see one as good as this fail due to crappy little things (I hate the NE anims so much, you don't even understand), is something to be bothered by

 

[TheGodOfIron]

Could have been better, this guy looks like a militia reskin onto a skeleton archer.

 

[Mechanical Man]

I like it, but it looks a bit weird without the string.

 

[arthasdeath]

to all of u who think we are whiners... its not true. happytauren is a great modeler so we expected more of him than this. he look like a crazy drunk all man, but usally happytauren make more seriously models

 

[arthasdeath]

also u hate infinitynexus? me 2 hes lamer

 

[HappyTauren]

No, you are a lamer for hating him, he is awesome

Also, this model is not as good as the others, because I learned to use footman's skeleton the most, and I am not used to making archers I think I Will redo it though.

 

[BlueBerryWizard]

Wow this is perfect timing! Just when I needed a male archer one game .

 

[Herman]

NE anims are soooo FEM, damn this guys way too buff for that, makes him look like a pussy ><

I'm sorry, just makes me so un-happy

 

[HappyTauren]

There is no other archer animation set in warcraft III.
