Looks great! The dissipate animation could use a little more animation though.

 

[Loki18]

yeah agreed. looks awesome btw and another addition to female heroes

 

[Xelos]

model looks in game awesome, thanks for share

Was feeling like I missed something then I remembered, how could I forget to include the icons? Now it's been updated.

 

[Spacebuns]

So, I've gone and made an HD version as well. As you can see, the difference is night and day.
I don't know if it's possible to post in the Reforged section though. Maybe I should make a separate entry in the Ported section, as the HD model is really heavy (original 2048*2 textures). Until HIVE allows separate downloads in a bundle, I don't want to upload HD into this bundle and make you guys have to download 100MB+ just for an SD model.
If anybody has an idea on what I should do, feel free to suggest.

You could do a link to a pastebin or attach the file directly to a post in this thread. Then do a link to that post in your description. It would have been a good idea to reserve the first post in the thread.

Great work! But could you please add a version without teamglow effect?

You can open the model in a 3d model editor and remove the teamglow geoset. There are tutorials on how to do that around here, I'm sure.

Models section

• All building, destructible, item, and unit models must include a game camera or portrait model; attachment and doodad models need not.
• Building, destructible, unit, hero, attachment models must be properly animated.
• The mesh must be clean, with no excess of unnecessary edges and no wasteful geosets or polies.
• The UV map must be decent and continuous, with as few seams as possible and without nasty stretching of the skin.
• The model must have proper attachment points.
• Attachment models must list all models for which they were optimized for (One at the very least).
• If the model is a geomerge, make sure the parts are blended properly and so they don't look like something wickedly unnatural (i.e. exaggeratedly huge heads, very thin necks/waists, etc); objects that should be attached to body parts must not float around or be attached unnaturally (i.e. a sword floating near the hand or attached to the lower arm instead of being in the fist); also make sure the UV mapping is correct and that it has no nasty stretching. If so, redo it.
• The submission must include an in-game screenshot.
• Models ported/converted from other games/sources must be submitted in the "Ported Models" sub section.
• Models for HD graphics in Reforged must be submitted in the "Reforged HD Models" sub section.

Ported animated models

• As a side note of the second rule, if you want to submit a model that retains all of its default WoW (or source game) animations you are encouraged to upload it separately, and link it in the description.
• Must have death sounds.
• Must have footsteps/footprints if applicable.
• Extents must be properly calculated.
• Normals should be recalculated to remove any dark/black areas (if any). This can be done easily with RMS (Retera Model Studio Reforged Hack).
• Must be properly scaled (WoW models are often way too small) so attachments and projectiles are also properly scaled.
• All materials must have the correct filtering mode.
• If the model has a dissipate animation it must have a dissipate sound in the dissipate animation.

Optional changes that may improve ported models

• Particle emitters on models that originally have particles in the source game is a big plus.
• Make a portrait animation instead of a separate _Portrait model.
• In case the model uses fabric headgear (such as various bandanas etc) try to attach the bottom part of the bandana mesh to the chest bone so the cloth doesn't clip through the chest, but rather stick to the chest while the upper part follows the heads' animations.
• The models should be optimized using Mdlvis with everything checked except for "Increase compressibility (MDX Only)" as that function is faulty.
• Textures should be renamed with a prefix to make imports easier, and to be more structured. For example a human male warrior body texture could be; HMW_Body.blp.
• All textures can be saved with 75% compressibility to further reduce file size.
• Footstep sounds are a big plus, especially with big models that would obviously make sound when moving around.
• Splats in death animations is recommended.

Set to awaiting update.

Rescaled and re-saved textures in DDS format. Footsteps are already present in the model with FPTx EventObjects.

Hey, I believe you're confusing footsteps with footstep sounds. No need to worry though, it's listed as optional so there's no need to add it if you don't want to. I'm on holiday at the moment, but will re-review this when I get back.

Honestly I just copied (almost) all Event Objects from the Paladin model, which I think should be good enough.
FPTx also make movement on water audible.

As long as it follows all the requirements it's good enough, so if you rescaled it it should be good enough for approval. The footstep sounds are, as mentioned, only an optional thing that may improve the model. No need to add it for the model to be approved.

About the rescale, did you also make sure to recalculate the extents so they fit to the new model size?

I didn't rescale by mesh editing, I rescaled by using dynamic scaling (Helper with 0.8 scaling). That way the portrait camera can stay in the same position.

Changes made, set to approved!

Although her size is equal, or slightly larger, than that of a villager woman I feel like the size could be increased a slightly bit more, especially considering she is a hero.

Also it would be really nice if you made an alternative version that uses .blp textures. Only having a version that uses .DDS makes its usage limited to 1.32+.

 

[Med. MapGuy]

Hi Spacebuns, is it possible for you to add cinematic walk and other cinematic animations for this model?

I actually intended to scale her to stand at approximately equal height to Jaina.

Hi Spacebuns, is it possible for you to add cinematic walk and other cinematic animations for this model?

I don't intend to do that because when I was trying to name the "Spell Cinematic" animation I couldn't think of any other animation tag to name it with. I just used "cinematic" because I remember that the tag existed. The model is not meant to have a separate set of cinematic animations.

 

[BaiyuGalan]

I must say. Very good-looking.

Hi, I really really love this model sadly i can't use it since it only works on reforged. Please make a war3 classic version for this model, pretty please

Thank you so much you are the best

It is done.
