[updated]

By: R.A.N.G.I.T.
(N stands for my name, Niko)

Ranger-General of Silvermoon.
This model is based on Sylvanas Windrunner, the idea came from MC !'s Warcraft II Male Elf Ranger which was based on Shandris that was made a very long time ago, credits to him on that. =D
My very first submitted model and also the very first model I ever tried modifying seriously, please do give credits if you use it. Thanks! =)
Better yet, tell me which map you'll use it for, so that I can play your map! =D
Oh! and btw, it's alright to modify this model without my permission, but please if ever you do, don't forget to give us some credit.. Hehe! Thanks again! =D

List of things that were modified:
Basically, I tried to remake what MC ! has done with his Male Elf Ranger. (Increasing the width of the cape and decreasing the size of the chest, so that it looks a bit different from Sylvanas'). :O
Gave the model the same head as his portrait, it looks so much better!
Face inspired by Blood+ Haji.
Gave him his teeth.
No more holes on his pelvis.
Added a spell channel animation which came from Evil Sylvanas.
Gave him glowing green eyes to show that he is a Blood-Elf. (Also came from Evil Sylvanas)
Changed the death sound to that of a Paladin.
Added dissipate sound and collision shapes.
Armor for the skin came from the Human Mage.
UV Mapping.

Bug FIXED:
Found out that the arrows he shoots on his Stand Victory animation doesn't show up (It's actually a problem with the MaterialID, which I forgot to change before). Well, now it shows up. =)

Model:
HalduronBrightwing.mdx
HalduronBrightwing_Portrait.mdx

Skins:
Custom Textures:
Textures\HalduronBrightwing.blp

In-Game Textures:
Textures\Green_Glow3.blp

Time it took to finish this model:
Crazy! This model took me more than a month to finish..
I really don't know anything about modelling.
At first, I just wanted to re-skin MC !'s Male Elf Ranger, but I wasn't satisfied with the results, so I made this guy after.

Some other stuffs:
Since this guy is a bit too small, I'd recommend setting his model scale to 1.35.
As for his voice, BloodElfSorceror fits him perfectly! especially since Halduron, is after-all.. a Blood-Elf! =D
If there are any bugs on this model, just tell me, I'll try to fix it.. =)

Thanks for all your comments, to anyone looking for me, I'm currently active in the Heroes of Newerth forums, my nickname there is XIII. Anyway, if anyone wants to use/modify this model, please feel free to do so, no need to ask my permission, just give some credit and I'll be more than happy. :)

Problems

ummm, hi. im a new editor who recently discovered the workshop. i know the basics on creating the custom units :/ and i know where to download them into the game and what not. but, when i tried to import the mlx file of the ranger to the characters; it doesnt work. im trying to wrap my head around this cause i REALLY want to use this unit in the game im creating. could you give me some hlep?. i've been trying to import it into sylvanas windrunner's file so that she looks like him (and im changing the voice :p so no worries.) buuut, thats where the problem arises. i've gone through the procedure multiple times and have reset the editor and no matter what i do, it stays as a cube with the could not load this character error. got any advise on what i should do? (to be more in depth. i only put in the Art-ModelFile HalduronBrightwing.mdl) <---- thats all i do :/ not sure what eld i need to do.
