Elven Rider

Ok here is a Knight equivalent Cav unit for the High Elves. The Elven Rider. Extensive Model editing, no Geomerges.

Nice dit, I should stop geomerging and start ONLY editing. GJ
If I'm right, it was based on the Huntress?

I actually like it a lot. What animations does it have?

Looks pretty cool, the thumbnail makes me think it'll look great in-game. I especially like the horsy, does it have a horn though? 'cause it looks a bit odd.. The horse's neck also looks funky (long) :) Other than that, what program(s) did you use for editing? ;) gw

I have to see it in action, it looks neat :)

Mmmhhh ... Head of Horse and the Horn looking weird, but a Unicorn Rider is totally new, never seen in a similiar version. Unique new stuff !

I would say if this is not being used for a project, put that up for download here, nice work

If it uses the huntress cat animations, i doubt this will look that good in game at all.

Also, unicorns should be white at all times :P

A lot of reactions.. thats always nice.

Yes, it is based off the Huntress model. And it has the same animations, thought they have been slightly changed. I use this as a melee unit with a supporting role.

So far the animations work..with it.. it looks like a giddy horse. The "Cats Snap" animation was turned into a "Horn thrust" and it looks pretty nice.

Ingame it looks very good, fact is you cant make out some of those quirks you may have pointed out.

As for lore.. yes Unicorns are almost always white (cept for black ones ofcourse).. but its also true that unicorns cant be caught. SOOO.. lets just say this is a Lesser-Unicorn species.

White on this model did not look good at all.. thats my techinical reason for not making it white. Also i though if people didnt like the horn they could easily remove it.

I used "War3ModelEditor" for this edit.

Peace.

p.s

Can i submit the .mdx files here or do i have to post it somewhere else?

maybe you could raise the horn a bit so it is distinct from the mane. I'm surprised you could do all that in modeleditor, I'll have to take a look at a tutorial or two :P Anyways, submit it as a resource

Ok, i'll take a look into the angle of the Horn. The funny thing is the reference on Unicorns shows the horn at that angle. But isee what you mean and i'll look in to it.

Here are some updated screenshots (INGAME).

PUT IT FOR DOWNLOAD!

It seems to work, good job at that.

Have you ever considered though, that the elves may not need to catch the unicorns?
