Human Male Base Model (WoW)

This bundle is marked as pending. It has not been reviewed by a staff member yet.
Hi all! I had a lot of controversy, but ultimately I decided to post my human base model. This is the fourth version, but not the last one yet. As far as possible, I will update this model, as well as post models of other races when they are more or less ready.

Now about this model:

1) Model has 383 animations. Some of them are repeating, if I understand right. May be there are still some face pose static animations.

2) I added 3 animations: Decay Flesh, Decay Bone, Dissipate.

3) I fixed a lot of geometry, so it looks nice in animations.

4) Model has fixed normals on all capes, tabards, skirt and any flat geoset on model (no more dark spots on model). ONE MOMENT! DON'T FORGET TO RECALCULATE NORMALS IN RETERA WHEN YOU FINISH YOUR CHARACTER.

I want to ask one thing, when you will share character models which will be made on this base model, don't forget to mention Vulfar as a kind gesture:peasant-rolling-eyes:

You can support me by Patreon. You can check here why I ask for this support.

Converted and edited by me

1) fixed a little bit face in animations
2) renamed 3 guard stand animations into stand 3, stand 4 and stnad 5 for easy searching of them.

again fixed a little bit face in animations

1) added Shadowlands customization
2) again fixed a little bit face in animations
3) added death knight eyeglow
4) changed decay flesh and decay bone animations frames to 60k for both

Hi, this looks like a very useful tool. I am however a bit of a noob when it comes to modeling things in warcraft 3. What software should I use to make a custom character with this? Or how is your tool supposed to be used?

Mdlvis. Turn off all geosets that you consider unnecessary for the future character (before that you make a copy of the file so that 1 file remains intact, and the second - your future character) and leave only those that you want - delete the rest, give any armor texture which you want from WoWModelViewer and your character is ready

Hello, when I add this character to the editor, only 125 animations can be called, I did this with a custom script call, it does not detect beyond 125, why?

(I noticed that the cinematic animations in the editor do not work!)

So you answerd on your question :peasant-smile: Ijust added all animations to model and people who know how to work with animations in WE - know how to work with it:peasant-grin: There are some animations names, which can be used by warcraft. You can check them in world editor - for example in spells section. But better to askfor help more competent in work with animations people.

No, I didn't answer. Make no mistake, I was wrong because I changed the name 'Cinematic' to 'Attack', but it didn't work. I definitely want to use this model, but I can't use more than half of the animation of the model. Could it be related to Warcraft 3 version? . All animations are visible in the model editor, but I cannot call cinematic-tagged animations in-game with custom script.

You say you're calling animations from custom scripts, are you sure you're doing it correctly? As far as I know, animation names don't matter when you call animations with custom scripts since you use the index of the animation, not the animation name.

I had the same issue where I would see all animations in a model editor and could call them all in the WE.
I realised this is because models in Wc3 are limited by the length of the global animation. For instance, if you check the time between each animation, it is oddly high. By manually reducing the time between each animations I was able to increase number of animations by a good 50, and I’m not a specialist, I suppose there are other ways to optimise this process

How did you reduce the animation times, using the model's mdl extension?

Can you share?
