Ok, I like the concept behind this model, it's cool and fun, but it's currently to big(weight). You can reduce the poly count by alot by chanign up the mohawk. It can be made into one solid piece, or into skie shapes instead of squares could very possibley reduce it enough to be acceptable.

Ok, you could probably reduce this even more, but you have met my specification and reduced it, So I'll go ahead and approve it. It'd be nice though if you would continue to optimise it and make it a bit smaller.

 

[shamanyouranus]

Why?

 

[Suselishe]

Why?

What, why?
Why do a lot of weight? The standard model weighs not small, so that only more!

 

[shamanyouranus]

No...I mean, WHY DOES HE HAVE AN ICE GUITAR AS AN AXE, AND ICE AMP SHOULDER PADS!?!

 

[Suselishe]

Well, I thought that with the icy guitar model will look more interesting,
than with the standard ax...

 

[Deolrin]

Suselishe, he was joking. Anyways, lol@that model. Its pretty awesome yet a bit too simple. Anyways, good job!

 

[OnkelManfred]

what is that?^^

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Ha ha, awesome!

 

[Kercyn]

Win! If you can change that brown colour to something that matches the guitar and the amplifiers it would be ever better!

 

[Misha]

i'm wondering how will this guy look with the spirit tauren skin, they are compactable :]

 

[Ordworse]

Very creative. I like it.

 

[Devine]

The ice guitar is SO WRONG =/

 

[Misha]

The ice guitar is SO WRONG =/

it ain't x3 maybe he just needs a skin swap C:

EDIT: How's this? ?=3

 

[Avex]

Epic @ Misha

 

[FrIkY]

Blue one looks better, but the model is simply win.

 

[Misha]

i've noticed a freakin' HUGE number of useless materials,

dude, you don't need to make a material for each and every geoset, it only makes the filesize skyrocket upwards.

get rid of the exess materials and use one type for multiple geosets.

 

[Sgt. Johnson]

BADASS model, blue skin definately works alot better for sure, but ya the size is a bit much

 

[Misha]

just remove exess materials, k?

 

[Suselishe]

Seen, with blue Skin looks much better =)

thinking to make it completely ice...

 

[kmde613]

Great model.

Is that Mohawk custom or already built in the Tauren? Cuz it gives him that "Rocker Look".

anyways, I would love to have the Guitar as an attachment. Would you mind making one for me?

it is custom..... and honestly, the author should rework it so that it doesn't take so much filesize.

 

[Suselishe]

Standard model HeroTaurenChieftain weighs 357 Kb, even if I reduce the weight updates, much the size is not affected (50-60 Kb reduced max)!

 

[Shade-Evil]

lol nice

 

[Devine]

Why don't you just give the guitar a dirt/rock texture? that goes better with a tauren.

 

[Aljo]

Great model, the blue skin looks perfect!

 

[Ghost765]

@devinearmy cause this tauren is the bass in arthas' band, and they need to have matching amps and guitar.

should i tamper with it to show you that it can reduce size?

 

[Devine]

So I took a look at how you can reduce the polycount.
1. make the hair one solid piece.
2. delete the current chains, change them by squares, give them the chain texture and change the blend mode to transperant.
3. make the guitar and the boxes use a dirt texture so you can delete the inner duplicates of them.

.....Don't be so anoying devine..... man has gone for crystal look.
i am currently editing that model to lower the filesize.

 

[~Void~]

Pure win. And really, I doubt there will be more than a few instances, if over one, on the map at a time, so a big poly count is fine.

 

[Zerox]

Wow great model. Very creative. I love the idea.

 

[Linaze]

Cool idea, but as mentioned before, the file size is a tad bit too much, yes. Especially for in-game textures.

 

[TheGodOfIron]

no...i mean, why does he have an ice guitar as an axe, and ice amp shoulder pads!?!

so he can take that to slap you!

 

[RaidonGod]

awesome XDDD
this model kickin' asses xD
perfect for a fun arena
I would rate it with a 4/5^^

 

[skrab]

this is so wrong...

 

[Thrikodius]

Give him a Gibson Les Paul instead.

It would be awesome to smack people with.

 

[shamanyouranus]

Lol, yeah

 

[PrinceOfFame]

It look nice but model stinks bcs Rocking arthas anim will be much better i give 2.5/5 bcs this is simple...

 

[Tank-Commander]

Neva expected that one coming! i give 10/10 for creativity 9/10 overall

 

[Sgt. Johnson]

You do something better then lol

Anyway love the model, looks alot better now with the blue skin, size is still pretty big though.

 

[Alfagar]

This idea was already used by Blizzard (except instead of a human with an icy guitar and icy shoulders he put there a tauren).

 

[Thrikodius]

The Blizzard version didn't have Icy shoulders.

 

[Phintias]

I think ist's just too cool , and i think i am going to use it in a map i make, so:
Are you going to make a icon for it? Please!

 

[Misha]

meh..... aproved =/

 

[Alfagar]

The Blizzard version didn't have Icy shoulders.

Oh yeah, sorry, but there is icy bass behind the human ( and the bass is on tauren's shoulders)

 

[Deolrin]

Wait, you seriously don't know who's Arthas? I'm guessing you're referring to the "Rockin' Arthas" model used in the TFT credits, right?

 

[Panda]

Very Nice, i give it 10/10 for this model

 

[Thrikodius]

Actually they are Guitar Amps. Ibanez made them to match their Iceman model.

Iceman guitar

 

[Flaster]

Nicework!)
