High Elf Building Pack

Another older pack Im releasing.

Note: The design logic behind these, was to reflect the look of High Elves in WC3, so these buildings would not have the same "look" that has now been established in WoW.

These may look as Skins for various Ingame buildings, but they are much more. Since these are indepent models they will not replace buildings ingame (and their respective textures).

They also have "human" buildable animations (not NE spawn ones) as well as Human death animations. All in all the pieces you need to make the High Elves.

This pack will be followed with the High Elves Unit Pack.

I'll be releasing these shortly.

In WoW they have Blood Elves so the difference doesnt matter. You are doing High Elves and not Blood Elves. Pretty cool although some look just like normal human models.

Aren't most of these models basicly just edited Night Elf & Human building models :?

Nevertheless, in my opinion you shouldn't have made that Castle identical to the Human race one :P There's almost no difference (if there is any that is), plus it's rather boring using something that might aswell could have replaced with an existing model :P Come up with something different, I'd say :) Something that resemble the High Elf Barracks ingame or w/e :P

EDIT: I like the Altar, though. And the doodad :P

These look pretty sweet
Wish you did some more custom work on these so they didn't look so much like the Night Elf and Human buildings
But good nonetheless

These are early models, back when I was modding. I later had some ideas on how to improve the existing Castle, by giving it thatch roof and have those curved wooden beams comming out from them.

But I never got around to doing it. These are the models i used in my first public High Elf campaings, that along with existing "Elfish models" completed the set needed to replace the humans models.

All in all I'll post them because, there are no similar buildings in the community.. There are Re-textures but those dont have the right "human" spawn and death animations.

Here are the features:

Castles: Use a texture similar to the HE Barracks, and the tower now looks like an obelisk.

Forge: Is based on NE Den, but this model is only used once in the NE campaign, so it's not a common model. The Skin came out very well matching all in-game High Elf Buildings. Has it's "human" spawn and death animation.

Hall: Based on NE Hall, perhaps its not original, back then I wasnt too familiar with model edits, the Skin came out very well, matching other before mentioned HE buildings. Has it's "human" spawn and death animation.

The Heavy Arcane tower: Is meant to look as it's human counterpart.. Since it was meant to replace the Bombard Tower.. and had to match the rest.

The HE Port: Is a separate model because i needed both a NE port and HE port in the same map. But basically it's the same model with a HE themed skin.

The HE Tower Doodad: It's something I later later on but deserves to be in this pack.

Soon, very soon... I had some free time to change the Elf Town Halls. They are now 3 seperate models (smaller) since working on the orginal file was too messy. They all link into each other with their Build/Upgrade animations (downside is no working animation) but we'll just have to live with that.

Here are some screenshots. I have to say that the elf town looks much better now.

The Heavy Arcane Tower is kind of less than uniform with the rest of the buildings...
