[SOLVED] Female Tauren

[Warseeker]

Hello guys! I would like to request someone to create a female tauren model for my upcoming project. I've been searching for one on many warcraft 3 sites but with no luck except for the WoW rip which I don't want to use. So, I'll be happy if someone is willing to take this request.

As an idea, you could base her animations on the Druid of the Claw or Archimonde's animations for example. Also, I want it to be a caster, not a melee unit.

Thanks in advance!

I guess you could just put some breasts from another model on a tauren and be done with it

I still have nightmares from that Female Demon Hunter someone put a pair of years ago, just add tits doesn't work always xD.

About the model. Have you searched on the old Mods post, if my memory isn't trolling me, Ominous horizonts or Rebellion creep had Tauren units not published on Hive's database.

EDIT: ah, you haven't written everything. Also, thanks for letting me see my mistake it's breasts, not mammals. Language barrier sometimes

Yep, Ominous Horizons have a female tauren hero, though it has a lot of bugs, weird animations and a low quality texture :c

This one? I could try something with doomguard animations, hopefully with a functional model, someone with texturing experience can work a little bit of love xD.

Well, if you give it a try with the model, i could give it a try with the texture :B

Haha. The problem is the animations though, I tried to transfer the eredar animations to the tauren unit but the animations gets completely messed up :/ I was hoping it would look like similar to this but as a tauren.
Basically, what I want is a female tauren that looks kinda like this one : https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/wowp....jpg?version=519f18f78aa39461ede1a1847fa9c93b

 

[stein123]

Hmm, then maybe editing the texture and adding a pair of boobs and a skirt to this model? BlackTaurenShamen

If Magatha is the enemy, than it's not that important. You can use the male with a hero glow.

 

[Himperion]

On the other hand, the long skirt hides the legs, main problem could be "rounding,softening?" a face based on the male ingame models. That is part model, part texture.

Yeah, that one looks good actually, if someone would turn him into a female.

Why?

Looks to brutish. Needs some body adjustments.

 

[Venombite]

Why?

Well, because people will focus mostly on her stats and abilities and how to kill her. They won't notice the gender (that much). Downside is that it will not look so good in the cinematics.
What I meant to say is that (while it would be visually more stunning) it's not necessary. There are no female Tauren in WC3, and the model might look out of place. In that case it's better to use a male than a ridiculously looking female.
Btw Reforged (MAY) offer a female Tauren Chieftain.

She does actually have an important role in the campaign, I made a chapter specifically for her. I know that some people may not notice the gender differences especially for those who don't know her or haven't played WoW, but the others will find that wierd and out of place. Besides, she ain't just a simple tauren, I want to give her a special role in this campaign.

I've been doing some testing, the black wolf skin doesn't look ok in a Tauren head, best option is still getting a black custom skin based on the spirit walker that is for al purpouses naked.

You can use this skin Grimtotem.blp to replace the original tauren skin with it.

 

[Himperion]

Using the skin for arms and other stuff doesn't look right, i'm going to copy the head whole from the portrait, my idea is removing the legs and making a dress using Furion black cape for arms and legs, the belt is going to be team colored with the Spirit walker cloths and to add life a totem on her back.

I'm using Fel Orc Warlock texture, and maybe animations if you want.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Ahh, the OH Ardent. Memories~

Excited to see a female Tauren model. Gogo Himperion!

Looks very good, I like it!
You can use any animations that you see it suits for her, all that matters for me is that it looks feminine :]

 

[Himperion]

Feet changed into hooves, and most of the model clothing done. Next stop is trying to find a way to transfer the head, because WC3 models are hunched while WoW Female Tauren have a L shaped neck ._., after that is trying to make the face rounder and shorter without deforming the portrait animations.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Nice, nice.

One point of critique; her arms seem rather thin IMO (though it may just be the angle.)

Not only the arms, the proportions need a lot of work too. Compare it with the male Tauren model and you'll see it has more of a human proportions than tauren.

 

[deepstrasz]

I'd like to add that it needs a kyphosis to differentiate the body from humans even more.

 

[stein123]

Kinda like this?: Tauren Druidess [Front/Side/Angle] | HIVE

Yup, i'm working the model from a human base, i was thinking on use resize with mdlvis to add more size to de body. About the general shape, i'm using the shape of the neck from the OM as a guide, because it doesn't look too clutered.

Thicc mama

HECK have I been doing in my life to have been missing this "Cayle" person?? Those are some excellent model WIPs!

 

[Stefan.K]

I'm still not sure if the legs are too long.

 

[Stefan.K]

Almost finished. Only needs some little tweaks and it's ready to be animated.

ps, sorry for double post

 

[Kyrbi0]

What the heck Stefan just STOMPing all over Himperion's topic like this with dat gorgeous big bovine thicc gf : D

So I guess we're decided on the "breasts vs. udders" debate? :x

For me not problem, i'm having trouble merging the head to the body. The kind of "throw it to the weekend" kind of trouble.

The proportions are off, sadly. The head is too small, and the legs too long as you mentioned.
Did you use Quilboar textures? Shouldn't this particular tauren be black?

I will work more to fix the proportions issues.
As for the color, sadly the lack of in game textures is giving me hard time making her look 'black'. But I will see to experiment something.

Use some software to edit the colour hue to black/gray something.

 

[Kyrbi0]

But mah in-game textures!

Don't let them get you down Stefan, custom is sin! >: D

Tell that to Tauer X'D, about the skin color, i love it as it is now, but if you're gonna make a variation with dark skin maybe you could use Direfury's technique? Tauren Chieftain

 

[Stefan.K]

Yeah, I'll color it via geoset coloring after I finish it.

Well it's difficult to find texturers this days, tbh.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Tell that to Tauer X'D

I DO! He just doesn't listen. :<

But then again he's an excellent texture artist.

Regardless, I nearly always, if I have my druthers, prefer in-game textures. So while it's not my decision, I'll always encourage modelers making cool stuff I might use/care about to do so. : )

 

[Stefan.K]

Is this color okay?

 

[stein123]

Nice!!!

lol

 

[Kyrbi0]

A tiny bit darker than I was expecting, personally. It's really coming together, though!

 

[deepstrasz]

lol

Means the opposite what Kyrbi0 wrote, a tiny bit darker, I was expecting.

 

[Himperion]

The only skin ingame that has the proper shade to "install without tricks" is the Furbolg Warboss and that one has a green armor over the head.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Yeah but maybe with a/that headdress geoset the green is ok/not visible.

 

[Stefan.K]

Female Tauren Druid

 

[Kyrbi0]

Heck yeah man!
