Zweihander Knight

[Kyrbi0]

Heck yeah. Beautiful work

 

[Njord]

Sword clips through the head. I think the attack animation needs to change. It looks very odd and that's sad because it's a beautiful model.

true, although I don't think it's that big of an issue inside the actual game

 

[jj84]

Great work, animations are best part of them.

 

[StonemaulMidget]

Hey Gluma, those updated versions look really nice.

I happen to have an idea for another bascient version, which involves the gryphon or eagle.

May I have your permission to make this creation and show you?

 

[Scrungus]

Another wonderful model from you.

Sure, sounds good

 

[HerrDave]

Outstanding work, Gluma!

I wish I could animate this good

 

[BaiyuGalan]

Handsome knight.

 

[Liu]

soooooo cool！

 

[Griffith]

Your models are something else man. Truly great work! But one thing about the model is that I think it's a bit short; it looks like a dwarf to me, and also some clipping, but that's just my opinion. I will give it a 10/10 as all of your models.

I am also hoping to see what you come up with here

I started out with relatively normal proportions, but it would look way too tall and thin compared to other models in game. Wc3 has units designed this way to better read from top-down view. Plus I couldnt use typical Blizzard wide pauldrons with TC because the idea was always a relatively realistic armor design that still fits wc3 art style, a bit of a difficult compromise.

Changing a unit's proportions is still pretty easy in Retera's model studio

I get that from the top view it looks normal, kind of like a footman. When I first saw it from the picture, I thought it's going to have the same proportions as your Plate Armor Knight model, tall and thin.

 

[ShadowMidas]

Such Perfect.

 

[Greedy Procrastinator]

It's finally here! Supreme knight chad for my knightess

 

[Artork312]

Now these are KNIGHTS! KNIGHTS OF THE RE-E-EALM!!

 

[Dargen]

A mighty sword-arm anchored by a holy purpose. A zealous warrior.

I cannot wait to see what you will do!

 

[Vasili Yvarov]

Every mononing when I wake up and check new model on Hive and see new model from Gluma, I take a thing this world not so tireble.

We with friends love play in Chivalry, and this sword just a fantastic. Beatefull animation. Big work. Three variants. Hero and unit version.
Anti-paladin look so brutal. He like Chosen from WH-FB.

Thx Gluma for this wonderful work!

 

[AdanPirss]

 

[FlameofChange]

What a time to be alive and armored !

 

[Kenathorn]

Man, that's brilliant as always. Your animating skills just fascinate me.

 

[deepstrasz]

Holy unholy!

 

[Villagerino]

Oh man, good job with this Bezier(?) animations, it looks awesome, you showed off the characters' charisma very nicely. Can't stop admiring the warcraftyness of textures in terms of colors, resolution and some other details. Love the characters' design, their similarities and differences, beautifully done Also love that you've done a neat and clever thing by making 'Spell', 'Spell Throw' and 'Slam' sequences inherit the pose from 'Stand Ready' because these guys are close-range (and won't jump through 'Stand' when in battle). In addition, this is a really solid base for modelers who want their two-handed warriors but lack experience in animation. Take points!

You might want to change a thing here:

Spoiler

Unlike on your previews there's no two-sided tag for the helmet's material:

I'm guessing it went away when you merged its geoset with TC materials to save space.

 

[hexhound]

Extremely cool an well animated. i think the helmet horns on the evil design is the cause of most of the clipping that can be seen in the model viewer.

something strange happenned to the helmet's inner side of the helmet because I had it modeled, like, with polygons. And the unit version still has it too. I have no idea why it would just go away like that, gonna fix

 

[Hazop / Sarven]

Always love to see it

You can make material twosided

 

[Gluma]

fixed helmets

 

[Nightmare2077]

"Send Nudes" edict text at spell anim, pure genious xD well done!

 

[Flinn]

These three knights are superb! Love the realistic armour sets

 

[MogulKahn]

Reminds me of HoMM Paladin! Amazing.

 

[Archian]

Awesome! Love the execution and animations! Love it!

 

[Goffterdom]

The animations are very well done and plentiful, it's an amazing piece of work.

 

[Deolrin]

Joining my favourite models of all time. Well done, Gluma.

 

[BaiyuGalan]

My favorite is Spell. Cool!

 

[Lucas207]

They look very stylish. Wonderful rendering of medieval knight concept.

 

[ILH]

Your unit variants still has their Dissipate sound event object active on Spell Throw. One of the evil knights also lacks sphere collision shapes.

fixed those

The model didn't appear to want to work for me.

Says it 'could not load file: "war3imported/zwei_knight.mdl".

I imported both the BLP and MDX but nothing showed up save for a stupid green and black box. It always sucks when the best work is so close to use, yet so far for me. ;-;

it should work alright. Have you tried re-doing the whole process from zero? Also try removing "war3imported/" from the file name, maybe that will work

Removing the "war3imported/" worked. Thanks.

Kinda dumb how that's the fix, honestly but hey I'll take it. LMAO

 

[StormgateGod]

the pathing is all messed up and confusing and jumbled. zwei1 = dark version in the BTN/DISBTN
all im saying -.-...

Edit: i see now. nevermind. the texture paths under "contents" are all messed up or auto-generated? idk. just download them and leave them dont change to texture/whatever/path/command/whatever's

 

[Krumpe]

This is one unit that was needed for sometime, I like HerrDaves model too.

There is just something about long, gnarly looking swords and the beasts that carry them.

 

[StonemaulMidget]

Hey Gluma, what kind of abilities do you recommend for your Zweihander troops?

 

[Gluma]

Hey Gluma, what kind of abilities do you recommend for your Zweihander troops?

Up to you really

 

[StonemaulMidget]

Up to you really

No really, I use bash, cleaving attack, and critical strike. Are there changes you recommend?

 

[Gluma]

sound fine to me

I was testing the spell anim (the scroll one) with heal, its probably best for spells that down't have a projectile. Channel is for some buff or healing that you channel for some time.

But really you should be using spells that are good for whatever you want to do in your map, looks should be a secondary priority
