__________________________


She started as a testbed for a workflow I had in mind. The goal was to put all of my skills to use and see how much I can squeeze from vanilla textures and repurpose them at creating something new and more modern. I deliberately wanted to stick to good, old SD style and make this asset moreless fitting to vanilla models, but with polycounts similar to work of Jab1z, Johnwar, Assssvi and others. Textures are a result of complex path of pixels going though upscale using Cupscale soft, bake in Blender and complete repainting by hand in Photoshop.

The community seems to be liking the result, so I decided to contact @Greedy Procrastinator to ask for a collab... And oh boi, he proved to be insanely skilled when it comes to animating things one more time. Just watch her dancing :].

She's fully UVed and comes with dedicated textures. I mapped her as carefully as I can, knowing how skilled texture artists we host in the community :].
Original textures are 2048^2px PNG. Contact me if you want higher-res.

Special thanks to @General Frank and @Macielos for assistance with optimization, testing and polishing.

Wonderful night elf hero. Looks good, has many good animations and works in-game. Review accepted by Footman16
Holy crap this model is amazing! The sword animations in particular are godlike (and boob jiggles, can't forget about those :ogre_hurrhurr:)

This might honestly be my favorite melee Night elf unit, to finally replace the Sentry and Warden units, since they were mostly a go to units for Night Elf army, and to maintain the fantasy where females were warriors and males were druids.
 
I waited for a long timeeeee Finally!!!! Such a look cool model and fantastic animation !! although can you upload a unit version??
Not sure how to add the Decay Bone animation myself. I probably can, but I currently have lots of other things to do. I should handle in the future.
 
Been one year procrastinating since collab and here it is :grin:

tried with thighs too but they had not many vertices you can see them move in stand ready
Puberty doesn't spare anyone 🥵
Good jeans :ogre_hurrhurr:
 
Pushed small update. Looks like we missed eyebrows during conversion and each one of us thought that the other was supposed to restore them. Leeel, we duuumb xD.

Bruh how did you know?? Just what i need! love the armor, the blade lights, animations and the jiggle physics :ogre_hurrhurr: looks perfect with the night elves in-game
we need variants for this. Blood/High/Dark/Void/Rainbow(lol) elves or Human version??
Blood/High Elf versions exist and we're working on them. Forsaken variant is already available.
 
No plans for any human reskins so far. Would require geometry editing.
For future reference, I'll ask how much the Xal'atath skin from Genshin would cost with additional animation that EVERY priest spec in gooner (shadow) would like...What's her name? I remember! Raiden Shogun!
