What about black characters??

[Razgri]

A couple of black characters would be nice. Especially with dreadlocks! If you know of any, or are willing to create one or two, notify me, please!

 

[Cavman]

Do you want them in any particular time period?

One of my UTN troops is black. And there's more than a few skins for black people

 

[Razgri]

nah, no particular timeperiod. its just that there's no black characters in warcraft... but i just think it'd be cool to have one. i think it'd be interesting for him to meet a tauren, and then the tauren is confused over the fact of him being 'Human'.

I'm thinking of something rogueish... overcoat, long dreadlocks, sword...

oh and i couldnt find the UTN troop... and i searched for 3 days for blacks skins. if u ever even start the model you are my god

but what do you use to make all those wonderful models, and animate them with?

 

[Cavman]

Well, almost all of my UTN units are down off the site. Infact, the only one up is the Regular. The Grenadier was the Black one.

I distincly remeer a black villager skin, hmmmm...

You can have black humans in WoW, just no one ever makes a character like that for some reason. :s

I think that the Darkspear trolls are the warcraft representatives of the AfricanLineage Islander side of things....But I could be mistaken....

 

[Cavman]

The trolls are jamacian, whish are kinda black. Jamacia has alota things in it.

 

[Razgri]

the trolls aren't human though, and wow model exacting isnt supported anywhere i know of...

 

[Razgri]

and what program should i use if i wanted to, say, work off of someone else's model(with their permission, of course)?

 

[Elenai]

Oinkerwinkles tools. www.oinkerwinkle.com

 

[Cavman]

Well, if ya wanted to work on model, and are a beginer, I suggest Oinkerwinkle's Tools, Yobgul's Converter, Mago's War3 Model Editor, BLP<->TGA converter, and a picture editing program that can support Alpha channels.

EDIT: Ah, ya beat meh Elenai...

 

[Elenai]

Nah...I only posted one essential group of tools...I would say you elaborated.

 

[Cavman]

Yeah. Thats all the stuff I use. I have Paint Shop Pro 8 as my picture program. And right now I'm bouncing between coloring a picture for a friend, and make one of their characters into a warcraft 3 unit. Think I might make a Black guy, just cause I think it'd look cool.

 

[Razgri]

Oinkerwinkle has a problem finding models and animations...

ah! thank you, but... the hellscream texture is messy and still has a tusk-tooth, and the blood-mage's attatchments are messy...
