Download Type : New Model

Textures path : MatriachGold.blp

Portrait/model path: N/A

Version: 1.01
Added portrait and portrait talk animation, tweaks regarding stand ready animation.

Comments:
The Matriach of the driders. I wanted to use the drider from garfield and Co,
but they were not optimised for online play and their animations/meshfinalisation
is about average (still great work and concept idea), so I decided to recreate
a new one. It has been a while since I've churned a wc3 model out so no portrait file.
You have to be content with just a camera in the model file.

Optimised as far as I know what could be done, if there are flaws just comment it.
Total space is 160kb uncompressed (which means in a w3x or w3m it would add 90 or
80kb to the map total size).

As usual, you have to tweak with aimation speed settings like attack/cast/walk speed in
order to sync the anims with their behaviours.

How to use:
Just direct the model path to this model and its done. No need to add a
portrait animation as there is simply none (merged into the model itself).
Just use Import Manager in TFT and import in the map (remember the import
model bug, you need to save and reload map in order to see the model). The
paths for the skin and model are above. Just import, doubleclick on the
file and alter the path to the above ones. Thats all folks!

Notes:
If you find any bugs or problems or glitches of the model please report this.
We will work on it as soon as possible to bring a updated version out.
* = Wildcard. That means that all textures should use that path.

If you wish to use this model in a campaign or mod, please ask permission first.
Do not post this on any site except www.wc3campaigns.com or www.wc3sear.ch.

Oh and me of course, but that is actually in authors spot

that's awsome. Now, just tell us how did u made this beauty=)

Its a old model that I once did, re-uploaded because Im cleaning my archives.

if you want to know how this is done, you can check my tutorial on this site, doubt that anyone reads it nowadays..

Approved. Thanks for your new faith in us :)

I've read it, but i didn't understand the dope-sheet part. Oh, and in some cases the model's animations screw when u put all animations in one, if the death animation isn't followed by the decay flesh(i'm not sure, but when i rearranged the animations, and then set them into one it worked, unlike when i followed the tutorial "word-by-word")

Indulge more about the dopesheet, anyways for that you might be better off contacting me personal or ask whitehorn

Yeah, I learned the hard way.

So you are the "Cookie" everyone was talking about on wc3s and here too?
Very good model, useful too.

Cookie is back? =O. Break out the booze!!

Great stuff, that goes without saying though.

Hey Cookie, thats not a model I've seen before. When did you release it the first time? Good work though, has your skill improved at all since then?

No idea, think not What about you?

Oh I havn't been around this website for probally the last year or two. But yeah, my skills have improved slightly. I kinda want to mod for Wc3 again, not sure why but I suddenly had the urge.

Its like crack!

anyways, im looking for a good skinner, you up for the task?

Depends why your looking for a skinner. And I do have to admit, I havn't skinned in a while. Let's hope I didn't lose any of it.

I remember this model... Good times, good times

So, how's your latest crazy project coming along? I hope better progress than trying to hook a horse up to hippogryph bones to try and have a pegasus
