Firstly, unsure where to post it.
Anyway, had a question for a few years regarding models in warcraft 3.
In my 'humble' opinion, the warcraft 3 models are complete garbage.
No, I do not mean the standard ones blizzard made in 2003. It was okay for its time.
I am talking about all the custom models that have been made after, especially after 2010~ where performance is less of an issue. I am not talking about a specific model at all, I honestly think 99% of all wc3 models I have seen are extremely bad. Even models that got a DC in past do not stand out to me compared to what some indie games offer.
I thought maybe it was some sort of engine limitation that somehow made HD models impossible, but then I remembered that WoW rips exist and work fine.
Maybe I have too high standards of a fan community, but when I look at other sections I do not get the same impression. A lot of the icons are very well made, but the models with the wc3 style genuinely look like a drunk 4 year old made the model and animations. I could go on for days on this, most models clip 10 times in the animations which gives me a low effort impression.
So I am not really complaining per say, as I can just not use them. Just curious if there is a reason behind this or I just do not understand art.
