[General] Night Elf birth

[Kaizer]

Hello Hive!

I don't know if there is a thread like this or not (too lazy to check)

I received a request concerning about a birth animation on a NE and when I tried to look the birth animation of the normal NE buildings there isn't anything.

Can someone explain to me how the birth of NE works?

The birth animation of NE and not only that but also Human, Undead and Orc are actually not in the model itself. If you are to look in it on some model editing programs, you will not see it.

I do know this is a separate model (referring to the birth animation) and not with the buildings. I don't know how to locate this animations models (paths and etc...) though.

Im not experienced with making building models, but what I noticed in Undead and Night Elf buildings have in common are:

- Both (Non-ancient buildings) have an attachment point which is named 'BirthLink'
- Ancient Night Elf buildings also have it, but it is named as 'BirthAttach' or 'BirthAttachment' instead

Perhaps you could start experimenting from there?

thanks for the answers guys.

I think there is a model for it because some people create an alternative for births and I think that's a start on where I should look.

If anyone knows where it is, feel free to post.

Found it. Open war3x.mpq on Magos through MPQ Browsers then find Shared Models and there is the file:NEBirth.mdx
