It looks cool. Boy, you know how to work with armor from WoW and animations of other characters. It is worthy of respect.

They look good, but i have a usully critisism about blade masters, don't get me wrong, but the should base of the blade masters with a sword rather then grommash that causes them to only swing with one hand which doesn't look optimal. The sword size is debateable, it doesn't have to be samuro's or the melee BM's sword size but it should be close to the size of the sword of the blackrock BM.

Not bad!

That's how we envisioned him and created him. But if you want to have for your map a different weapon holding style BM, you can always send me a personal message and point out what you want and make it. Now for this BM I will also create the 2h version.

Not bad!

Thanks!

Looks amazing, I will use this for sure!

Awesome model for both variants! Very good use of WoW armor pieces, I'm sure the community will have a lot of use for a Nightelf Blademaster and an elite Nightelf Warrior.
Animations, geoset choices and textures look generally great, especially the Normals and ORM for those WoW assets are done well, even in unmodded Reforged graphics without Quenching.

For approval you need to improve the following:

• Reduce the image size of wardenguard_swordmaster_Head_Orm.dds and Nigh_Elf_Blademaster_Main_Orm.dds by half, so 512x1024 (this is not needed for the tiny WoW textures of armor, because of how small they are).

---

Optional improvement:

• Camera of both portraits could be positioned slightly more down, so the character is in the middle.
• Death sound is that of an orc, not critical at all, but you could copy the name from a male night elf and edit that in MDL (those are SND you're looking for).
• You could have the same filename for that ...Head_Orm.dds and ...hair_diffuse.dds if someone wants to use both models in one map. Those textures are identical if I'm not wrong.

 

[Darious]

Thanks you. I'll update him as as soon as possible.

Update 1

• Redused the image size of wardenguard_swordmaster_Head_Orm.dds and Nigh_Elf_Blademaster_Main_Orm.dds to 512x1024 and mearge it in one file as Nigh_Elf_Blademaster-Wardenguard_head_Orm.dds
• With Moonman's help the portraits are fixed.
• Fixed the death sound, so now he can die as a night elf.
• I changed the name of the hair to Nigh_Elf_Blademaster-Wardenguard_hair_diffuse.dds , so that all of the models share it to reduse the mb cost.

 

[Barorque]

Approved, as stated before models are great. Now the small issues are fixed, as well as optional improvements addressed, great job!

 

[gldss]

Very good!

 

[Dr. Vinsword]

that 's great!
I think that it would be cooler to change it into a DH.

I don't think that he fits to be a dh, he has too much armor.

 

[Dr. Vinsword]

Yes, the Wardenguard Swordmaster is not suitable to be a Demon Hunter, because he looks too heavy. But the left one maybe look cool if he can become a DH.Wearing a small amount of leather armor, looks good.

lower the amount's of textures file needed, and i'd love this one

No, I will not do that because there is a reason to be that way. When we or other people want to use a part of this armor, it's easier to have the textures separate rather than all together in one texture.

Hey there, here are the update notes:

• Updated for the current version of the game.
• Reworked the animations and geosets of the models.
