Okay, here's a review. It's a harsh one.
Now, there's an equal number of good and bad models. The mage heroes turned out great. The flying carpets (with a map of Russia on one of them!? Am I imagining things!?) are good, and the Solmyr is very good. Respect to the creator. A couple of the female heroes have an empty space under their heads, but that's a minor issue. However, the cavalry units didn't turn out well. It would be better to give them Duncan's horse back.
Dark Elves. The female heroes on the standard animations (although Kujin might be the base for them) and the retextures of Ilia are good, the rest are a bit off (sorry), but the male heroes are very cool.
Wood Elves. A couple of the female heroes (like Ilfina) have problems with their animations. Maybe remove the camera during their movement so that nothing is visible? The rest are good!
Demons: The women are of poor quality + there are some glitches. The men are not bad for demon-monsters. :)
Overall: 7 out of 10. In any case, this mod is one of the best.
They turned out well, there are just two models with their own animations... There's nothing that can be done about it. Although, there is an option with a rider without animation on the map. But that's not a solution, in my opinion.
The map of Russia is a joke from the developer, you could say.)))
All the problems with the animations are minor. Because if you knew how much of a hassle it all is... All the bodies are cut into pieces and placed on the skeletons of the models. It's a long story.
Unfortunately, a better way to make it with one model hasn't been invented or implemented yet.
I'll take a look at the Wood Elves, there don't seem to be any problems there, if possible, I'll fix it.
But let's talk about the Inferno women in more detail? Where is the poor quality? Are the polygons visible on the body?))) If you round the bodies even more, there will be even more glitches.
And now, look at the standard models of Ilia or Shadia, especially at their shoulders, and how they walk. The Dark Elves and Inferno are made based on them. I think this is the "awkwardness" you mean in the animations... But there's nothing that can be done, I adjusted them as much as I could.... There's not much that can be done now. All the bones are used, but the standard ones are heavily animated.(((
Believe me, it's not that simple in this game.)))
But in any case, thank you for the feedback!)))
And this mod is not just one of the best, but definitely the best in terms of new heroes!
And it's not just about the models. There are also well-thought-out abilities, scripts, texts, very high-quality icons, and much more. This is the only mod that I paid attention to at the time and wanted to participate in. Even the number of posts on the forum in the mod's topic shows this.
Thank you to everyone who is participating in it. That's why it's taking so long, believe me, we're squeezing the maximum out of the game!!! And we'll do a lot more interesting things, it's just a matter of time!
