Wolven Lumberjack

My entrance into the tauren skinnign contest

Anyone who followed the contest knows how much I hated The horns and The slingshot on the chieftain and while the real entree is the skin im going to put the minor model here aswell just so if anyone wants to be able to use it as I had envisioned it.

The path for tft is
Units\Orc\HeroTaurenChieftain\HeroTaurenChieftain.blp
AND
Textures\HeroTaurenChieftain

for some reason unbeknownst to me Blizzard decide to change the path in Tft to the units one HOWEVER that path will not change the portrait.

Included in the zip is
-The Skin
-The minor Edit
-A readme containing most of this info

Tauren chieftain Model by Blizzard
Skin by The Demonhunter
minor model edit by The demonhunter

This one is actually not bad at all, the trees could definitely use more love, but the wolf part is your best work to date.

Yeah, it's great except for the trees, which could use a lot of work.

I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok
I sleep all night and I work all day and...
Nevermind
Anyways yea definetely your best work, but trees are still something to be desired

You could turn the horns into the ears if you make model edits.

thats a pretty good Idea i might do that and throw them in the zip as an extra edit.

Oh and to the comments about the trees how should I go about shading the trees? should I just increase the darkness of the shadows on the outside and the highlights at the middle?

I don't think I've seen that many textures created by you, The Demonhunter.
But compared with your avatar, this is an improvement :)

EDIT: Good luck in the competition.

Considering you chose to post a shot of him against brown trees, why are those on his back white?

You also missed the wings on the totems. They could be skinned to branches/leaves.

Yeah, maybe if you used in game textures (cnp) from in game trees onto those trunks on his back, and did what white said about twigs and leaves, then it would be perfect.

The wolf face looks sooooo funny :D
I love the way the mid-wolf looks

If I weren't against using custom skins/models/etc. in my Wolf Packs map (I want my map to be as much mine as possible) I would use these for like, wolfish lumberjack slaves who were brainwashed into working!

Gotta post that updated shot of the model Demon

The concept is nice, but the quality of the skin isn't good enough for our database. Though, Demonhunter, you are definatly improving in skinning.
So I'll move this to WIP textures and then you can decide wether to improve it or not.

You are defininatly improving.
Do what people said about the tree and the model edits. The tree needs a few shading and contrast.

That's poop. Same thing happens when you apply the Crypt Fiend skin. You should make sure that the edited model uses it's own path to make things more easier (texture paths can easily be edited by convering the mdx to mdl and open it in Notepad).


Keep working on this skin and it will be great.

I had to recently reformat my computer and I lost all my work including the updates for this that I had not posted so I finally got around to DLing it and started updating it again. is this what you guys were thinking of for a cnped tree, and is it possible to set it to use a different texture for the tree and have that second texture change with tilesets?
