Good looking recolors, though the hand holding a weapon (endurance aura?) is not a Tauren hand :/

Good looking recolors,

These are a couple of the first icons I ever made .
The "Frostwave" icon has 10 layers alone.

though the hand holding a weapon (endurance aura?) is not a Tauren hand :/

That's the standard icon on Tauren Chieftain.
Weird though why Blizzard would do that .

EDIT: +rep, thanks for the feedback!

Pretty nice, good looking icons.

Now it's time to make recolor of tauren's model.

+rep :thup: (Eh.. need to spread )

 

[WolfieeifloW]

Hope you didn't mean for me to make a model .
I've had a bad experience with modelling so I don't do it.
Glad you like them;
I'm thinking of releasing another "pack" soon.

Any more comments/suggestions?

 

[lindenkron]

He didn't mean modelling, he ment recoloring the texture dumbo

But nice nice icons, once you made the frost chieftain himself blue, you could start making nature, fire, earth etc etc etc, and make one big package

 

[WolfieeifloW]

I don't really know how to do that either .
Could you PM me a link to a tutorial or PM me with info on how to?
And then I could do it.
And now that you say it, I might just make a whole "elemental tauren" package.

Open up war3.mpq with an MPQ editor, navigate to Units\Orc\Hero\Tauren Chieftain (or something like that... the path isn't difficult to find) and extract the .blp file you find there. Convert it to .tga with WC3 Image Extractor (or something else) and then open it in photoshop. Then recolour away.

Don't download, it's just preview. ​

...Units\Orc\Hero\Tauren Chieftain...

It's Textures\HeroTaurenChieftan.blp.

The link is down.
I have the image exported, I've recoloured it, but what format do I convert it back into to be able to apply it?
I have Warcraft 3 Viewer v2.3c (which is what I used to extract the .blp) .

Use it to convert back to BLP, as well.

since it is a snowy (frost) tauren you should remake the war stomp icon
it still has grass on it instead of snow xD
you just made it blue, but not snowy

otherwise it looks very good

I think thats just a shockwave like effect from the force of the stomp.

Even though the default blizzard icon has a orc hand instead of a tauren hand, i think you should try to change it to tauren.

 

[WolfieeifloW]

Okay...
I can't change the model file to the imported file though if it's *.BLP.
I've downloaded War3ModelEditor and opened the *.BLP and converted it to a *.MDL;
However, the file import is 1KB and still doesn't change anything when I use it ...

 

[FireEffect]

It has nothing to do with models. You convert the blp to tga, recolor it, then convert the tga back to blp. If wc3viewer is causing you trouble. Search for wc3 image extractor 2 its what i use and is extremely simple and easy to use.

 

[WolfieeifloW]

I can't figure out how to do models .
If someone wants to do this for me, I will add it in to make this a "package".
I'm starting on different elements for the icons tomorrow (don't have my Photoshop CS2 right now ) .

Just out of curiosity have you ever met a Tauren? Just wondering how you would know how a tauren hand looks like.

On Topic:
I tried changing the skin of the original tauren, but for some reason it ignores the new skin you put (doesn't overwrite) even if you import a skin with the "original" models path in.

So what one would need to do was, export the model (chief tauren) and import the entire model once again, with a different path to it's skin. But that would be an awfull lot of wasted space on a model that already exists in the game. So I don't really know. Anyone else know why it won't work?

UPDATE
Fire versions up.
I've uploaded the different elements as their own ZIPs, then one ZIP with them all.

[del]EDIT: Can a mod change this thread title to "Elemental Tauren Chieftain" please.[/del]
Thanks Romek.

BUMP.
I'm busy working on some spells for my map.
But I'll try and make another "set" tonight.
