Good place to request models?

Hi all im currently working on a few maps, just wondering if anyone knows a good place to request some models i need done?

Things like the sack carrying dude from golden axe that u kick to get potions from and a few other things.

Try Http://www.wc3sear.ch they also have a request forum if you cannot find a model you are looking for.

The models DB they have is quite extensive.. take the time to look around in there before making requests... or prepare for the flaming as they link you the model LOL.

Enjoy!

Those guys really only do simple requests, or things they are interested in.

The only one I ever got was the hex platforms for my TD

I posted a request for just adding an attachment point, and no one posted on it in 3 months.

Fortunately, I can do that myself now.

Yeh i go there alot and have been through all of the models many times over I could probably get away with a peon carrying a gold sac really

Yeah I read about that attachment point thing. I haven't tried it myself as it requires downloading three specific pieces of software, but may at some point. Too many other things to do though.

Usually the only time I think you'll ever get a custom model out of someone is if you announce your project and collect a team for it. I know a bunch of the other warcraft map sites have places for this, but you'll need to have a really strong vision and be able to convince people to join the cause (good luck).

The other way would to be to do the tides of blood and work backwards. After your map gains some notoriety, you may attract the attention of some modellers/skinners who will do the model for you. Don't get carried away though. These days it seems tob is more about looking better than it plays.

Another option would be to find a model that is in the general shape of what you're looking for and reskin it (with the author's permit). There's some goblin models on the war3search that could perhaps be reskinned into that annoying little runt.

Attachments arn't too bad if you have a little experience.

The only hard part is figguring out what coordinates you want to put it at. If one already exists, like 'Righ Hand' it makes it easier.

But adding an origin, or overhead, pretty simple.

You just need to go MDX - > MDL

Edit it with a text editor

Then MDL -> MDX again.
