Illidan Stormrage

This bundle is marked as high quality. It exceeds standards and is highly desirable.
Illidan Stormrage my favorite character in the entire warcraft... I needed a model of him and sadly couldn't find anything suitable to my taste, so i decided to create my own.
Took me some time but i think it's worth it.
I also made a Team Color version for him, hope you enjoy it.

Needless to mention that the model's size is absolutely HUGE and yes i know the amount of polygons used in it is a lot but i hope it would be of some use to some people anyways...

Nice Illidan model! Some animations are still kinda stiff and can be improved.
Is the Morph animation from when he ensnared by the Holy Naaru? Thats cool and an animation for an Eye Beam spell is a chef's kiss

thanks, yeah there is room for more improvements - and yes the morph animation is from "the rejection of the gift" scene, although it ain't as accurate as the one in the scene but i think it'll do.

This is amazing! Although I agree that Alternate animations are a bit stiff, also I think you forgot to add attack sounds to when he swings his blades.The collision shapes don't have coordinates because of that they are placed like this (picture 1). Alternate form lacks hand and feet attachments.
Again, the model's is great, I'm just trying to give feedback.
P.S. I don't know if it's too much to ask, but I wish he had a flight anim in demon form named "Walk Fast"

It looks amazing, but personally I feel it has kind of an uncanny valley where it's too HQ for classic and too LQ for reforged.
Maybe a simpler version with less polygons would match perfectly the art style of wc3 with the quality of your model, and have less impact on performance/map weight for multiplayer.

Very good model 👌. Its awesome how well done it is. The animations are fluid and I do not know if they are inspired by Illidan's animations in various games or those of the Demon Hunters class in World of Warcraft. The transformation animation and the blades are very impressive. 10/10. But what I'd most like to see is also the model of Illidan in his demonic form, with his horns and wings, but I've already said that it is a good model, what matters is that it's a good model.

It is really a unique model !!!
If he had bright horns and tattoos (Illidan version of wow legion), it would be a legendary model !!

Amazing work.
-Can you reduce the polygon to more acceptable levels (~4000)?
-The health bar is too high. You can fix the health bar on Illidan by reducing the maximum Z extends in each non-Alternate sequence.
honestly about the polygons i'm afraid i can't do that much because it's basically two models inside one model, sorry for this one
but the health bar ofcourse i'll fix that in no time
