Why are there no LOTR models?

[xvarts]

Does anyone else feel my pain? Where are hobbits? Not skins... real hobbit models. Oliphents? Why does the Hive with its LOTR community not have any LOTR models? (It has some but they aren't hobbits or oliphents and most are quite repulsive.)

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/members/fingolfin/#userresources this guy makes lotr elps

also the hobbitses skinses is a good choice than a simple made model

this has to be a very silly thread why is this in off-topic that doesn't even make sense

do you even database search?

 

[takakenji]

Nope no lotr models anywhere

 

[Wazzz]

i wish there were some lotr models instead of all these harry potter skins

 

[rulerofiron99]

See if you can import the models from War of the Ring (very similar RTS game)

 

[Wazzz]

so basically rip models out of another game? i can't see anything going wrong with this

 

[Codric]

Eh, There are more skins (I think) Skins are usally very good, because more detail ect.

warcraft is practically inspired by tolkein's work. the fuck do you need custom models for?

you've got elves, nigger elves, humans, orcs, gandalf on a horse (archmage), nigger gandalf on a horse (apprentice mage), dwarves...

you can use mammoths for the oliphants and anything downsized for the hobbits.

 

[xvarts]

Have you seen the hobbit skins? You are better off using a child. The hobbit skins look like muppets with a genetic disorder.

 

[takakenji]

ironically you are not better off using the child skin

also i question ur standard of skins/models considering the hobbit skins where actually pretty well done

u have some sort of unrealistic expectations or severe ocd and maybe both

Nigger..?

 

[Xonok]

Nigger..?

I guess he means anything black/dark.

Because.... YOU SHALL NOT PASS!

Actually it is because a lot of WC3 models fit quite well as LotR models. Fell orcs already make good orc models (red skin like in the movies). Various human models fit the heroes well. Hobbits can be made by shrinking down other human models.

This is totally different if you want to make a LotR map in StarCraft II. There is virtually no model that can be used from the base game as a LotR model with exception of environmental models (as a tree is a tree).

The issue with scaling down human models is that they don't have the right build. But I guess I must use the child models and scaled models anyway. There are some hobbit skins used in the map The Fellowship of Ring but those are the only ones I could find.

Yeah most things are covered. Down sized humans don't make good hobbits though.

Down sized humans don't make good hobbits though.

Nothing in WarCraft III makes for good anything as the graphics are total garbage in this day and age. Using a down-sized human is a lot better than using a gnoll.
