Tauren Elemental Shaman with travel form

A tauren Elemental shaman based on the tauren unit from wc3 reforged. It's "based" on how shaman turned out in WoW so I added the travel form. To use it You will need to make you own ability out of the NE druid ability in editor.

I'll added 3 different "Spell" animations, for Purge/Lightingshield and Bloodlust. Would say they are placed in a order that fits the spell. This is also ment to be set together with some fixing in the editor.

Thank once again to Kaizer, Sniff, Flinn, Fugrim and ArchaosRegime for feedback, support, advice and guiding.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Done some animation polishing/spell animations was sloppy so I reworked all 3 of them, added tattoos to make it more unique. Over all no big changes but better movements in aniamtions, braids/trinket now have fitting movements witht he body.

Ps. Noticed a lot of "visit" of the model and fairly good download number but 0 rating. Would appreciate feedback and ratings

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reduced size, fixed the missing "link" between spell 1/2 to a stand or stand rdy. Fixed the travelform to not look "loco" with those google eyes. Removed some not needed texture setting. Also fixed some of the missing parts for blood and so. Sanity fixed too, still shows model in red because of added new teamcolor tattoo, looks normal ingame

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3/2-25

Remade and renamed animations to fit the requested fix better. Renamed some to make it more like default models.
Portrait is now 1 for both forms.
Fixed the texture thing so now it even show right when running sanity here on hive.

After another look, this is now good for RECOMMENDATION edit: For HIGH QUALITY, add Stand Defend, Walk Defend, Attack Defend; and then perhaps Attack Slam where the Shield is being used to bash the enemy, alongside Attack Defend Slam
Maybe some feathers or druid accesories can make it more unique
Thanks m8! For like the, comment and idea. I kind of gave up to add more, did a lot o tries but never got the movement (in every animation) right. But I will take a look at it again, soon then later. Have a great day!

There are no alternate portraits, and the Spell animation where his weapon is at his back might as well be removed if there's no proper transition to Stand Ready or Stand. I'm putting this to AWAITING UPDATE.

Alteranate Portraits can be done by adding "Portrait Alternate n" where in your case, you can import wolf portrait animations and then rename them as such. I'd also request adding the normal form's shoulder straps and pauldrons on the wolf for differentiation, and then perhaps an extra variant where wolf has the Tauren's horns.

Will start working to fix this one now, but I have to ask about the request about form. It's a shaman, based on how their travel form looks in wow. They never had horns on their form, druids do tho. Kind of same thing goes for the shoulder request at travel form You did, it'snot in line with how it "will be" in wow. So is it really a request that stands?

Checked the default model for shoulder, he has no shoulder straps. But if You still says it's "needed" then I will try to come up with something

it's just an extra suggestion so you can ignore it if you want

the other suggestion was for better readability and for easy distinguishment compared to the basic wolves
 
Do you have any plans to make Orc or Troll versions?
Yes. Working on a female/male troll worker and then I will do shaman (will be in same order I did it with the tauren).
Sorry just replied like it was troll im planing for, will do a orc version too. Just skipping worked for those since there already is a "good" one.

Good job interpolating the different stand animations and making them linked, and the model is now useable; however there are still some issues regarding the Alternate forms (lack of spell, and the morph back) so it still needs some updates. Nonetheless the model is still good to go for the base model so it's now SIMPLE/USEFUL

I'd also request improving the transition between death to decay animations

There. Updated with everything you requested.
Hope there is no more now
 
  • Shield and mace don't really fit as shaman (in my opinion)
  • Stand 1&2 animation has some weird shield/mace behaviour at least in 3D View. Edit: In game too.
  • During death animation shield is clipping with head - my bad, it looks good
  • Weapons just teleport to the ground on death anim.

Maybe some staff like troll priest would be better? (as an alternate ver.)

Hey! You know 3D view has nothing with how it looks in game to do right? 3D view shows hidden geo that wont be seen in-game.
Did you seriusly leave a rate at my model even without testing it in-game?

Ps. hope you like the review I left at your only resouse ;)
Why do people feel the urge to trash others without 0 reason and not even testing the model? You having a bad day?

I tested it right now ingame. Stand 1 and Stand 2 anims looks bit weird, but i really like the idea of putting the weapons aside. During death animation, mace and shield just teleport to the ground. So my bad, no clipping issue.

PS. Yes, it showed your very weak mentality, and being hungry only for good comments. I do not feel urge to trash anybody, it's constructive criticism. In contrary, you took your time to find my 8yrs old very simple icon of "footarcher" just to delete it from the site. That's what is trashin others without reason. I don't care if it will be deleted, cause i didn't make it to boost my ego, but to share, as I saw that some peple was looking for it around 2016/17.

PS2. Your models are great, I gave you feedback not hate. I hope to see more of your work in future. Take care

It does in World of Warcraft. It's not real life inspired necessarily.
Yeah maybe, I didn't play WoW, just shared my thoughts and gave another idea for maybe alternate version.

I removed my bad rate and yes I acted bad to. I rised the star for you, it's not bad. I just don't see why you leave a rate without testing.

About this. I do share you view but it was requested by the moderator.

Overall. you feedback was not bad. Just the fact that you don't test first. But anyway. I will remove my comments at your page.
Hope you have a good day foreward.

Greetings John

Ofc only weird to see claw+shield but it's just taste.
It's not weird in either case. People just have to understand the frames of reference might be different from the real world. So, don't be prejudiced about it. There's even so much variation between myths in our world, like stories pertaining vampires for example.

A bit funny that the most main icon char from wc3, Thrall, is a shaman that use mace.
No clue why ppl gets so "annoyed" by my choise and says it should be a staff.
 
It might just be in the model preview of Hive, but animations are a bit clunky. Stand animations look like test animations for the arms, I'm not certain what the Tauren was trying to do raising either arm in both stand 2 and 3 animations. Waiting for another second or so shows the actual stand animations?

Stand 2-3. Test it in-game. You are the 3 person in less then 24 h commenting things like this without checking the model.

Seriously ppl. Are you trolling or is it the first time on hive?

Ps.
You have 3 models yourself in reforged section and 4 years at the forum, aka you know that things will be seen different in 3D mode. So trolling then

Why did you feel the need to be rude about it, though, instead of making a civil response? No, I'm not trolling, and just noticed via checking. I don't download any and all model I come across here, and I'm not anymore active playing Warcraft III or working in World Edit. I just look at model uploads, maybe preview them when I can or want. :con:

So if you won't download or even is active. How did you have the need to comment?

Is it really rude to ask WHY? And state that you have experience of the site and it's functions.
 
So users aren't allowed to comment even if they're just looking into uploaded models? I was just wondering if maybe it was just the 3D model viewer, but the animation looked clunky. Like honestly, what's wrong with you? "And state that you have experience of the site and it's functions." When did I say I have expertise or experience of the site and its functions? I make mistakes here, even moderators know that and have pointed out before. And what do you mean ask 'why'? You didn't ask such a question.

You made a dismissive rhetorical question you answered yourself (though wrong about). And checked my page just to make a comeback; such X/Twitter behavior.
