General Frank:

(Approved)

Works ingame and is a nice idea. The new portrait file is awesome.

 

[Elfsilver Lord]

Way hay for armored warriors in dresses!

 

[irisu]

this is the meaning about diference...., not excellent, but it is better than nothing i will tell you the true: 7/10 ( the helm is repetitive, and knigts are too monotone, a robed one is impressive, and this one looks like a templair knight, so, i can tell u: "well done&quot

 

[Elenai]

ITS NOT A DRESS......its a tunic

 

[Dragon Elf Mogare]

nice robed Knight.

 

[Ghost765]

very much better than ur original. but the head... hes got no neck... HES A HUNCH BACK OF LORDAREAN!! yah just give it a small neck and it should look ok. or just lower the shoulder pads.

 

[Elenai]

I raised the neck...but i wont lower the shoulder pads. Because the neck and head are perfectly proportioned already and I like the shoulderpads as they are.

 

[Ghost765]

did u update it and the pic?
just a suggestion for later models based on this maybe add a cape or something of the sort? maybe a shield hmm? this could easily turn into a royal guard unit

 

[Kofi_Banan]

Awesome only dont like the file size and polycount

 

[Mechanical Man]

At least now is swordsman, not swordmsn

 

[Elenai]

I updated the pic and the model...though it was a small update.

The polycount is not bad. I tested a battalion of these models ingame and it ran fine so it shouldnt lag you.

A shield might be considered in the future, but I do not know. A cape however will probably not happen, as I cannot find a bone set on the High Elf peasant that this model is based on to simulate/support a cape. To be honest though this model reminds me of a Gondor captain or Elendil.

 

[DarkKnight]

It sorta looks like a battlemage ^^, the orbs at the sword are not realy looking nice, but thats probably not visible ingame...

 

[Elenai]

Its not really visible ingame however I had difficulty wraping the orbs. The silly captain skin had no jeweled orbs to wrap with.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

The 'orbs' should be billboarded planes and you know it.

 

[Elenai]

RDZ: show me where the bones for the orbs are on the High Elf peasant model and how to attach the orbs to them and i'll gladly make the orb spheres billboards.

However the intent was not to make the sword like the footman's, it was to make it look nice.

 

[DarkKnight]

have you improved the sword since my last comment or was I just not looking good the previous time?

 

[Elenai]

I havent improved the sword as of yet.

But I often go back and update my old models so its plausible that a new sword will be made in the future.

For now...its hardly noticable ingame.

 

[Ghost765]

well couldnt u just attach a cap like using a skill or item...

 

[Elenai]

No Ghost. If you want a proper cape that waves in the wind and all that, I would need to attach a cape to animated cape bones, those are non-existant on the high elf peasant

 

[General Frank]

And anyway Elenai, why excusing for that ? Ghost just should cool down a bit and stop blarging every mistake or thing he didn't like. He's not that skilled in modelling as you.

 

[Dr00d]

EPIC indeed Elenai and Gerneal. Olny thing that bugs me is the walk animation dosn't seem to fit a fighting unit (but hey thats what you get with a builder unit), and in one stand animation he stabs himself in the neck. o.0 But the rest if very nice. 8/10

 

[Mor)L(unE]

Looks very good Elenai

 

[HappyTauren]

Elenai: You said there are no bilboarding bones on that models. THERE ARE, just you have to make new bones, check bilboarding field... I don't like polycount at all, when this could be done in double the polycount, if you didn't use spheres for sword orbs. Other than that, nice.

 

[Gath_Stormer]

OH SHIT I DIDENT KNOW YOU MODELED!!

lol great job

 

[Elenai]

I do indeed model Gath.

Dont forget to thank General Frank everyone, he deserves as much praise as I do, if not more.

Hmmmz. is there a tutorial on billboarded bone creation.

I also dont think he stabs himself in the face. its looks that way..if its the defend animation he actually lifts his sword to his nose.

 

[raft_pl]

As I was watching this model`s animations in W3ModelEditor, I noticed, that in death and decay flesh animations there is sword leaving. Is it a bug, or in game this sword is invisible? ;P

And defend animations... He looks very silly with hand near head ;P

And about whole model - great job. Inspired me to make some kind of RPG xD

 

[Elfsilver Lord]

Yeah, the anims are messed up, at least in the ModelEditor. Raft, Illl check ingame and give you the answer.

It reminds me of the swordmasters from Fire Emblem. Good job.

Edit: Raft, the sword does decay.

 

[HappyTauren]

Elenai. It is so easy. Just make bones, check bilboarded on them, and assign vertices to bones.

 

[Deathclaw24]

I think you should update the model and remove the wings on the sides of his helmet. 4.9/5 <<< 5/5 without wings ^.^

 

[Ket]

Not ba-ad... Very not bad...

 

[Clipboard]

I love the Model, it is great for a human palidan, if you ever use in a Wow Map

 

[Maximash]

Wewt! Great model! Just wondering though, would it be possible to make the walk animation, a walk and not a retarded run? plus the defend-attack anim is stange... he attacks with one hand and picks his nose with the other.
Also, that guy earlier wanted a cape and you said there had to be a bone for it, the gold sack bone is still there, couldnt that be used?

 

[Elenai]

Thank you Maximash.

However: The defend animation looks alot more normal ingame (as you dont see him pick his nose )

I looked at many possible walk animations but most of them where also runs. I may in the future change the walk in the update version (when I update it)

The gold sack may be used....but the waving cape might not work as I would have planned it. I will try though.

 

[Elfsilver Lord]

I think it funny that models are taller and slimmer in the viewer than ingame.

The cape might be good, but wouldn't using the goldsack create a half cape? If not, wouldn't it mess up the shoulders or anims?

 

[Ninja_Duels]

why i cant use it? it say i shall go to a wep side but i cant...???

 

[SandMan]

if u use a armor like dark red helmt and armor
will be nice 9/10

 

[Mechanical Man]

Lol, now that your model was the last approved model about a week ago you are getting a crapload of comments while our models rot in the bottom of the unapproved section :O

 

[Elenai]

hahahah Dont worry your models will be up here soon enough.

 

[Jedi §layer]

Is something wrong with the model? Cause when I open it in Wc3 viewer it crashes. But the model itself looks great 10/10, and where is the spell animation?

 

[Elenai]

It opens fine in Magos Model Editor, and it works in game. But I dont think that there is a spell animation, only a set of defend animations.

 

[SuPa-]

WHY CAN'T MY MODELS HAVE THIS MANY COMMENTS?!?!??! Lol

Nice model, kicks ass

 

[Dionesiist]

Because yours is not the one to appear on the front page

 

[SuPa-]

Well... if one of the resource mods actually TRIED to test some models this one wouldn't be here for five more years lol

 

[Elenai]

....But I love my model's publicity...

 

[Maximash]

Elenai, i was looking at some models animations... and i thought the Mountain giants walk Upgrade was the closest to a 'Walk'(that looks like hes holding a weapon),i could find, It is possible to scale down and import the animation isnt it?
Also @Elfsilver Lord The cape doesent have to be just as long as the gold sack, it can be longer if it wants .

 

[Elenai]

Maximash: It is possible I think but I do not know how to do that. But I am not sure if the animation will be comppatible.

 

[Maximash]

Does General Frank know how to do this? i was under the impression you both made this.

 

[Elenai]

I dont know if he does or not :/ But we did make this model together. So when you praise me, dont forget to praise him, and also DONT FORGET, to give him credits as well if you use this model.

 

[Maximash]

I will i plan to use this in my map, but its for something a like a royal guard, where they have their swords like the defend animation on this, but... they need to walk and not run otherwise its just lame...(come on.. royal guards that run like tards but look good stood still? naaahh :S)
