SC2 Tauren Chieftan

[Rayman90]

Awesome model. But I think he leans(not sure if this was a right word) forward a bit too much when he walks. It looks a bit derpy imo. Is it possible to fix this ?

I'll check it

edit: I was checking side by side, but can't find what you talking about , here is a comparison between original and sc2 walk

I mean, isnt his pitch definitely different ? Especially on his upper body part. In classic version his totem points more to the sky, in remake version it points more forward.

EDIT: In remake he kinda looks like he is trying to push something heavy on his way.

Yeah maybe I can do something for you, I'll put this on my to-do list

Must meet these requirements:

• Must have optimized animations for Warcraft III. All animations must have the same start/end keyframes and must have names that can be utilized by Warcraft III (not counting custom scripts that can set animation by index). If you want to submit a model that retains all of its default WoW animations you are encouraged to upload it separately, and link it in the description. - The axe (and axe glow) is not attached to the correct bones (the correct bone is Bip001 R hand).
• Must have death, decay/dissipate, stand, stand ready, walk and attack animations as a bare minimum. Exceptions can be made where it's natural to make an exception (for example a stationary attack unit without a walk animation is fine).
• Must have a working portrait.
• Must have attachment points.
• 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.

These are optional things the resource submitter should think about that will improve the ported model (for animated 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.

--------

Please revise the things marked in red. The optional changes are not requirements, but would be a nice addition.

Set to awaiting update.

Hello! I've downloaded your model, did some testing and I can offer my review.

Ported Models must work when imported into a map without any kind of additional model editing.

Required for approval:

• Rename the texture path from Textures\hd_herotaurenchieftain to hd_herotaurenchieftain
• .Mdx file must contain the Model name (correct name is TaurenChieftain.mdx, not Chief1.mdx)
• Correct the thread name from SC2 Tauren Chieftan to SC2 Tauren Chieftain
• Since you chose to separate the Model and the Portrait you must specify in the description that both use same texture and needs imported only once in a map

My personal note:
- Try to be more careful when porting/optimizing the textures because there's a cut that splits the model in half; it's most noticeable on his head/face - That doesn't exist on the Starcraft 2 Model


Other than that the model works fine in the game, if you fix what I've requested, I will set this as approved.

If you need assistance feel free to ask me anytime!

Hi, yes of course I need to re-import this little guy, btw the cut on the middle is because internally the model is cut in half, I mean the original 3d model (this is unnoticeable in sc2), I fixed this issue in my latest rips, will work with this soon
