Owl Moon Priestess Reforged

[Goffterdom]

Really impressive! It's looking pro and seems useful.

 

[WanSaweR]

Beautiful model Nice work

 

[Aldeia]

just saw the video, amazing work!
(would like to see an archer version on black type owl)

 

[Barorque]

That's one huge owl!

 

[A]mun]

Number of Polygons: 59,512

who am i kidding, she fly

 

[Ardenaso]

impressive! please add a Tyrande version

 

[Devalut]

Bird Up!

 

[Stefan.K]

I wonder do 'our' friends from that Chinese site make new models for Reforged like our members...

 

[tulee]

This is fantastic! A priestess riding an owl, ha-ha. These kinds of models are exactly what is needed to give Reforged map-making a chance.

Edit: Should the portrait really have that much a focus on the rider, as posed to the Owl itself? It is not an issue, just that the owl is getting sidelined despite playing the main role of the model. Classic Wc3 Priestess of the moon placed more emphasis on the tiger than the rider, which was nice since the tiger was the main attraction of that model.

 

[Retera]

A portrait focused on the owl as well could be nice. I might rework it a bit and update sometime soon. As the night got late, I wanted to post my work to share with anybody who might find it as fun as I did, but I did not spend a significantly long time on the portrait.

 

[Misha]

well.. the only thing i kinda don't like is the face, but that's really the reforged fault

 

[ORaiser]

Awesome !!

 

[DrTema]

Wow! Awesome!!! So it's possible to copy one model to another and it will save all animations and bones?

 

[Abelhawk]

Holy crap! For some reason I thought that the modeling scene for Warcraft 3 was going to go way down after Reforged came out, but this is legit!

 

[General Frank]

A wonderful recreation of a wc3beta model into reforged.
Works in-game and performs well.
Good job.

 

[MrModify]

Thanks for uploading, this is just what we needed.

 

[Jahjahbinks]

well done, plz make flying sheep hero

 

[DEXTER01]

This is absoluty brilliant ! Your moddel will be used in my remastered Warcraft 3 reign of chaos campaign!

I hate to break it to you but that's a generic Priestess of the Moon

let's hope he makes a Tyrande version for that

Don`t worry it will not be Tyrande...I got some other plans for this model,wait and see ,you wont be disappointed!

 

[MrModify]

Yes haha where

Orc05 - Warcraft 3 Maps - Epic War.com

you can watch your model in this map !

 

[Malmgrev]

Well done!

I made a Tyrande version with green hair instead of blue. To import the model properly, just remove war3mapImported\ from the dds file but not the mdx file when you import the files.

Tyrande Owl Priestess model | HIVE

 

[proudmer22]

Impressive!

 

[SebioL]

Retera.
How amazing this's held, in addition to rescuing a part of the story, it's a good alternative model for anyone who wants to add a flying Hero.

 

[Spacebuns]

Based

 

[SadMachine]

This is an amazing model for the Moon Priestess! Very majestic. It's unfortunate that there's only one portrait which limits the use of sound sets on the unit. Other than that, it's a really good reimagined version of the beta NE hero. Keep it up!

 

[JarHed]

5/5, it is what it is and I doubt it was easy.

 

[Altruistic Anduin]

I really love this model, and the idea they had back in beta Warcraft III. The Snowy Owl's icon could prove suiting for this model's icon. The owl is a bit large, yeah, but it's great overall.

Is there no sound set for this unit? Shandris' sound set would've perfect for this model, since the vanilla Priestess of the Moon has her tiger sharing the mic with when they were recording her dialogues, and every Pissed voice file references the Priestess' tiger and tiger-related puns.

 

[Retera]

There are 4 or 5 audio files in the 2001-2002 War3Beta on Hallfiry's unofficial archive that have the same voice actess as the tiger rider, but with flapping in the background instead of tiger roars. It's not the hero soundset, however. It looks like by the time it was published the hero soundset was overwritten with new audio for the tiger rider. The reason the old ones were still there is that they were voice shoutouts for when hero spells were cast, which were probably discontinued by the time the tiger rider was created.

Could you link those files and any other old soundset files here? Or, better yet, upload them to the Hive's sound section?
I'm interested in hearing them, but not enough to trudge through old MPQs...

 

[Altruistic Anduin]

@Deolrin I believe Retera was referring to this thread: WC3 Beta Hidden Soundfiles by @Saelendious.

EDIT: Nevermind. He was referring to a thread from the Hallfiry's Beta Archive forums. I'm looking into it now.

 

[Retera]

I was not referring to a thread. I downloaded an MPQ from here: Hallfiry's unofficial Blizzard Archive

Then I took apart the MPQ and took the assets out of it.

 

[Altruistic Anduin]

Ah. My apologies.

 

[rcshaggy]

Would be really handy for a sky-high battle in which they are facing off against evil forces and what not, or even helping their comrades too out a situation...

A Warcraft 3 beta model for Reforged.
This brings back memories of when I was playing a custom map with a similar model for Warcraft 3.
In one word: "Once a classic, always a classic." Beautiful model, Retera.

 

[3139245141]

Nice models, but I like porting them to classic versions. The owl priestess transplant takes more time to process UV

 

[Retera]

Nice! It looks almost as good as if we just actually had the original classic model!

Happy Holidays!

I saw this work in a Chinese community, they used a program that re-textured the .DDS files based entirely on the Reforged graphical appearance. I even downloaded Arthas and Footman... And in fact, they were perfect!

Do not fool yourself... the image is not Reforged and the resolution of the main texture only loses quality if you open it in War3 Classic, due to the arcaic graphics engine not exceeding resolutions of 512x512! But there are meshes that use smaller textures, like the Pauldron example, that the texture resolution .BLP is sharp even with the maximum zoom.
Those who didn't migrate to Reforged and use the classic to this day, it's a great alternative if you're a fan of the new models or have a very weak computer. But of course, this does not replace the quality of the new reforged engine and despite being a model in SD format, using a large amount of these models on your map, you will still have graphics overload if you do not have an adequate video card, because the model is still high complexity of polygons.
In spite of all, the new Reforged engine will always be better at handling graphic overloads and other highlights required by complex models.

what Chinese community? I'm curious about that; I only know about the hispanic group called "Warcraft Resources Reforged" that also has the same goal

It's not a FcBk group, it's a Chinese site that usually redirects downloads to Baidu. Check this one, if I remember correctly:

Look in the models section, but it's been almost a year since I used to visit this site, I don't remember the user who shared it...
Note: To view most templates and access downloads, you will need to subscribe. It also charges digital coins, according to the request of each model author, there are some that you have free access.

Is that you?

Ah... then you would be the user! Lol
Yes, exactly. It was the two of us in the post. rs

Holy crud, you reinvented the wheel!!
Does the Wyvery Far Seer come next?

shouldn't be hard if you just remove the rider and add a time-scaled Far Seer on top
