Stitches (HotS)

This bundle is marked as pending. It has not been reviewed by a staff member yet.
This Model was ported from Heroes of the Storm by Nerthfill. It features Stitches the Terror of Darkshire.

Lore:
"Take care when traversing the shadowed trails of Duskwood... Ever since Abercrombie the Embalmer unleashed his abomination upon Darkshire, Stitches has wandered the road aimlessly, hungering for the flesh of low level Alliance players."

My part:
  • Renamed Animations correctly
  • Optimized the Model and it's textures
  • Attached Camera Portrait
Update 13.01.2025:
  • Rescaled the model in Retera
  • Sorted animations
  • Fixed Camera Portrait
  • Added better texture with Team Color
  • Optimized .mdx file even further

Baked in TC, spec, normal. Added teamcolor and emissive. Credit to Nerthfill for the original port. Removed 10,654 excess keyframes.
Team Color is a nice addition, but you went too far removing the excess keyframes, if you put the 2 models side by side and look at their feet, yours is shaking. - just my opinion

Looks like OP is fixed? I don't see it floating off the ground anymore and don't see the leg bone rigging issues.

Okay I fixed a pile of of issues with the original port:
  • Model floating above the ground on every animation and the resulting corrections hundreds of adjustments to the bones and animations.
  • Death animation floating/clipping
  • Meathook misalignment with his hand
  • Renamed portrait camera named cam to Portrait
  • Fixed matrices that went wild when the floating issue was corrected
  • Reduced keyframes by 3000 only in places where the keyframes matched the exact same position.
  • Sorted animations
  • Total model size with textures is 1.2 MB which will compress even smaller when map is saved as a file

If you were to send me in private a nice message like:
"Hey I noticed some issues with the model and I fixed everything" - some sort of basic 1on1 communication
I might have used it and name you as responsible for the update, but gtron has to show off >.> it is what it is.

Enjoy your day
