Tauren Buildings

[stein123]

Holy cow!

 

[_lycan]

Omg you're a legend please make more of these!

 

[DMN Carry]

Make for orcs plz with your version

 

[Kaizer123]

This is incredibly cool! It would be cool if you did the same with Orcs. Would use orc buildings from WoW, and replace them with textures based on the standard 3 warcraft. It would be very cool to do the same thing, for example, with the Burning Legion, or with the Centaurs, for example, they seem to have a lot of buildings in WoW

And most importantly, these are the buildings of the Nerubians from WoW, and not even the Nerubians but the Scourge. All these buildings can be replaced with textures of nerubian architecture from old Warcraft 3, and it would be incredible. Why are the scourge too? Because the architecture of the scourge is the buildings of the Nerubians, which the scourge has changed a little in its own way. Both Nerubian buildings and Scourges can be altered with Warcraft 3 Nerubian architecture. I think that would be incredible

I hope you can do it. You are well done

 

[MogulKahn]

COME ON, MAN! You have made a huge mistake. Now, you are going to make us want more! Great job.

 

[StormKnight]

YOU.

Are awesome.

The Armory, Lounge and Lumber Mill look a little too similar in my opinion. Other than that, absolutely amazing work.

Also consider using more than 1 texture for the leather covers (rooves) of the buildings. That will make the pack look less monotonous and each building more distinct. I would recommend the Tauren/Centaur Hut doodads as well as other neutral buildings (Mercenary Camp, Gnoll Hut, Furbolg Hut, etc), Orc Campaign Screen textures, Orc building textures, and basically anywhere you can find rugged cloth or leather. Variation is key, alongside deviating from the in-game models (esp. orc buildings).

Finally, you could try and change the totem on the Barracks building to make it unique and different from the in-game Tauren Totem. Using doodad textures, changing the shape, order and individual parts of it would greatly help.

Thanks for the suggestion, ill update it soon once I have the time.

 

[loktar]

Again, please update these separately. You can always make a pack in the Packs section.

 

[Otherknownoise]

Man these are so coooooool

 

[Ebanu8]

I have to admit I don't see many custom Tauren models, much less for buildings. I admit that the Watchtower could perhaps do with a more different look, perhaps as a more sturdy wooden construct. But it's good work.

 

[Deolrin]

Again, please update these separately. You can always make a pack in the Packs section.

Isn't this sort of the whole point of allowing "packs" in the model section now though? To bunch together related and similar models? With the new Search feature being what it is, finding all of Bakr's Tauren structures will be difficult for someone looking for it if they were each a separate upload. As a pack it's much easier to get the whole shebang with a single click.

 

[loktar]

Fair point, maybe I'm misunderstanding the rules/guidelines around this. @General Frank or @Mister_Haudrauf will probably know better.

People have been doing this for years now and it is totally fine.
You seen me do it also and you are doing it yourself too.

I am totally okay with this as long as the uploader does not deliberately abuse this to upload and update stuff too much.

 

[Elf Knight-]

Thank you, man. I love the architecture you make, and I love making new race maps, which is very useful to me. If you could make a building about the alliance of ice trolls, walrus men, mammoths, and bear monsters, it would be interesting.

Right, my bad

 

[General Frank]

No worries.

 

[Rislir]

Great job man!!!! Which models are next?

 

[bakr]

Is there a way to resize or stretch vertices without affecting the textures?, that is actually my issue with this pack. The textures are not actually the way I envisioned them to be.

Actually im still in the process of learning how to properly create wc3 models. I greatly enjoy making things and making them work in game. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Not really, aside from manually adjusting uv wrap.

 

[Deolrin]

Try using Retera's Model Studio and the UV Wrap editor. Another suggestion is to try and tile textures by spreading them across more faces.

[FranzLiszt]

GREAT!
finally someone who created more buildings for other races, not only humans and undeads!
the one who'll create night elves ones will be legendary for his innovation

I have to admit, having animated trees is a rather interesting concept, but surely that can't be the extent of Night Elven architecture, right?

 

[stein123]

More like non-ancient buildings, that would be great, in line with the altar of ancients, the hall of hunters and the chimaera roost

 

[Goffterdom]

And the Den of Wonder

 

[FranzLiszt]

For sure!
But it would be "enought" just a higher definited version, like a lot of other units here. I don't preted a reforged-like (I'm not even interested), but a middle-way or somewhat. I said that in various topic because I really believe in this. And a little research is enough to prove it. Compare to other races's buildings and see. I don't understand why in all of these years nobody created new ancients (corrupted ones apart, because they're actually in the game already)
I'd create myself I had time etc to learn

 

[Tickles]

You're really breathing life into these different factions. First the Kul Tiras pack, and now this? Very useful.

 

[bakr]

I guess hive already have night elven buildings or is it highborne not sure

 

[Ebanu8]

I would think it's the latter, most likely.

 

[DaHomieG]

Jesus christ man yet another banger.

5/5 +rep

 

[Fortinbras]

Good stuff! Will there be icons available for these?

 

[Mister_Haudrauf]

Nice Pack. I see potential in you.
Well please fix the following:
TaurenGreatHall:
- 1 Material isn't used, if you delete the unused Material then please check, if an unused texture pops up via Sanity Tester.

TaurenLounge:
- 2 Materials aren't used.
- 1 unused Texture: Textures\Yellow_Glow.blp

TaurenLumberMill:
- Please Clear and Delete the "Unused" Animation.
- 2 Materials aren't used.

TaurenWyvernRoost:
- 1 Material isn't used.

TaurenTent:
- Please add a foundation to the structure. Just look at the Orc Burrows. Reason: If you place/build the Tent near Steep Cliffs it will hover over the Ground.

------------------------------------------------
Setting it to Awaiting Update.

Thanks a lot!!!

Though it will take a while for me to update all of them due to some problems with schedules. I will fix them right away once I have free time.

Thanks again!!!

Looks awesome, mate! Just waiting for the update on this!

Done with the updates, thanks again

 

[Archian]

Very useful Thanks for sharing!

 

[loktar]

Thanks for the update. There are a few technical issues remaining though:

Great Hall:
-Several geoset animations and objects have duplicate tracks
-Light Omni1 has an invalid max attenuation (should be max 200)
-Set visibility animations interpolation to None instead of Linear

Lounge:
-OrcBarraks.blp is unused

Lumber Mill:
-1 unused material

Wyvern Roost:
-Geoset 0 and 15 are each referenced by 3 geoset animations

Most of the models also have unused animation tracks and incorrect numbers of sequence extents. This doesn't cause any problems ingame so it's not required to fix, but it would be nice

 

[Gumberbunbder]

Wow, you have provided many joy unto us all! An entire set of buildings! Looks just thunder bluff.

 

[General Frank]

Very well made Tauren adaptation of Orc and Nightelf buildings.
Lovely and clever use of textures.
Great job!

 

[StormKnight]

The new Imperium of bakr's alternate buildings has begun.

 

[Resyak]

I love the work you have done creating structures of different races. It's nice.

 

[Yousef]

please keep these buildings coming, they're amazing and very useful!

 

[Ballonskipper]

These look amazing! But am i the only one finding it kinda macabre that taurens use leather for their buildings as leather is mainly processed cow skin?

That's centaur leather XD

 

[Tryndamere]

hey sir, can you make building for Centaur? only centaur race maybe not have many building

 

[Barade]

Awesome models. Maybe you could change the default icon names to something like BTNTaurenLumberMill to not replace existing icons. Tier 1 - 3 models plus icons would be nice. A separate altar building would be better since people might want to use the Totem as regular Totem building.

 

[kirkask]

Nice buildings

 

[Wolffus1996]

Great buildings with which Tauren can be made into a fully-fledged custom race. I am thinking of a custom campaign with Tauren as the main protagonists, fighting against Centaurs, Quillboars, Harpies, but then they have to stop demon cultists from summoning demons that would destroy the entire world. I can also imagine an alternate Warcraft III storyline with Tauren as the heroes, instead of the Orcs.
