Posts from NHF – new heroes for Heroes V 3.1. Auto-translated

Wow. SRD, so you decided to give her that model after all... That's what I initially wanted, but then I changed my mind. Well... maybe it's the right thing to do. You won't find such a hairstyle for Irbet anywhere else. And what model will the other one have, the one I wanted?

...probably on all the lizards... The nightmares turn out badly... The nightmare itself doesn't fit as a mount because of some growths on its back. And its animations are bad and there are few of them....((((

Well, something like that – I won't be drawing a mask; maybe a suitable one will turn up later. Also, this head doesn't want to recolor properly – I wanted to slightly change the shade, but it's done in a weird way. Simple texture work brings changes, but not the ones I want.

Yes. Now I remember. When lightening the hair, some highlights appear. That's why I didn't make Irabeth back then. This model has naturally red hair, and dark hair looks pretty good too. I don't know what the reason is. Maybe I shouldn't have reduced the texture... Its original size is 2048x2048

Leave her with those highlights for now. I'll come back, remove the additional hairstyle's texture coordinates from her head, and create volume. Simply erasing in the texture file didn't help before. Or try in another mode, Apak in Russian. Instead of Alpha Test. If anything, these extra hairs were to the right in the file, where there's empty space now. It's interesting to me...

I was messing around with Valafar's head here. What a pain it was. I practically made almost all of it myself from scratch. Jaw from one source, horns from another, eyes, etc. The result was 7 materials, but at least I put all the textures into one file. I hadn't done that before...

In short, it turned out to be almost a copy of the icon. What's annoying is that models from modern games have voluminous hair with semi-transparent textures... And our game doesn't handle them properly.((( And not just hair. We only have one texture file for everything. In new games, there can be seven of them, which are apparently layered in a certain way and create the effect of a living character.

By the way, before leaving, I found a website with elf models! I downloaded many, although I only managed to download female ones. Although elves aren't such a complex race; stretch the ears, and you have an elf!))) I also found a good model with animation for the academy – a woman. I'll try to implement her in the game; maybe it will work. But I didn't find an animated infernal succubus... I'll have to build it from bones. And probably on all the lizards too... It turns out badly on nightmares... The nightmare itself isn't suitable as a mount due to some growths on its back. And its animations are bad and few....((((

Well, it won't be a problem to create a model for this icon. Although, personally, I don't understand why the standard icons should be changed so drastically.

Ah, I didn't have time to upload anything - I'm still at work(((

When will it be released?

In version 86, the heroine Valeska will appear as a Necromancer, which is what the developers from Black Hole Entertainment originally intended, but for well-known reasons, this was never implemented. However, some files remained in the resources of the game, for example, her icon!



In NHF, she will have a slightly different icon and an expanded description in her biography! A connecting storyline of her transition to another faction has been added!

I had an idea to give her this model because she was an inquisitor (in life).
