Posts from Guide on adding a new model, animation, and creature to HoMMV Auto-translated

No, no, he’s needed, just replace his model with something from Zehir.
And I thought that Titans would be better if they trampled with their feet instead of simulating shooting/lightning, but that’s a minor detail.

There are actually many problems here... this is just a test version, just for fun.... In Heroes 5, the Titan has only... 9 animations!!! This is enough for the heroes, the whole battle goes from right to left or vice versa...
In Attila, a unit can have 100, 200, or even 300 animations!!!!! There, in addition to walking and turning, there are steps, different attacks, etc....... Furthermore, in Attila itself, different units - people, horses, elephants, etc. - are synchronized with each other, and the Titan is essentially a foreign body..... I will try to add a black dragon and see the battle)))) 1 on 1 )))))) there, in theory, the animations should match each other, after all, they are from the same game - Heroes 5...

P.S. Well, Zehir should still be on an elephant, not on a Titan

Well, that's quite a lot, isn't it?) You really went all out!

Well, that's quite an exaggeration, isn't it? You really went overboard!

I apologize, I did exaggerate a bit... https://disk.yandex.ru/i/36DkuS5phpxXMA )))))))))))

I don't know if you embellished it or not; the screenshot quality is insufficient to see the numbers (if they are there).

I don't know if you're lying or not, the screenshot quality is not good enough to see the numbers (if they are there).

Well, actually, if you click the download button and zoom in with the mouse in the standard Windows viewer, you can see everything perfectly well...

Please excuse me, but I'm using my phone right now. I rarely have time to log in from my computer.

I managed to extract resources from the game Might & Magic Chess Royale using the same Assets Studio program that I wrote about earlier.

The creatures in Chess Royale are the same as in Heroes of Might and Magic 7. However, the hero models are unique. And among these heroes, there are many of our old acquaintances. Animations can also be extracted, but the heroes only have two animations, idle and victory, and they are quite rough, so they are generally useless.

The models are made in a semi-cartoonish style. It's a matter of personal preference. To be honest, I like it. But I can understand those who don't. In any case, the fifth installment was quite cartoonish in itself, so, in my opinion, these models fit more or less into the style of the fifth game. That's one thing. And if you import the models into the game after properly preparing the texture in Substance Painter, it will look much better than in these screenshots. That's another thing.

I'm attaching a couple of screenshots of the models. And more screenshots are in the archive. The archive contains almost all the screenshots of the hero models. I only skipped a couple of dwarf heroes. https://disk.yandex.ru/d/ohTIXZ8kEc-oBg

Suddenly, someone might need the disk image of "Master Tutorial 3DS MAX 7" from 2005 [file size 587 MB, archive password - 3dsmax7] - link, it will expire on April 19, 2022, at 12:00 Moscow time!
!!! Attention! This disk contains a file with some malicious software - path Soft\plugin\CHARACTER ANIMATION TECHNOLOGIES CAT 1.2 FOR 3DSMAX 6\catkg\catkg.exe

Looks scary and confusing... I'll check it out on the 19th, just in case...

Looks scary and incomprehensible... I'll delete it on the 19th, just in case...

It's a common occurrence... a Trojan in the key generator... that plugin is actually useless to anyone, but other content wouldn't be лишним!
I simply warned in advance that there's something nasty in that file and that it shouldn't be run!

the link to the creature template in this post is broken.

Thank you, I have replaced the link.

I'm having an issue with the texture not displaying correctly on a part of the model. Does anyone know how to fix this?

There is not enough material in the model file.

Added 3 minutes later
I mean in the xdb text file.

I mean, in the text file xdb.

I think I've added everything (but I'm not sure anymore). After exporting to smd, I divided the model into 4 parts based on the materials. I added 4 items in the file. In the materials folder, there are also only 4, including xdb for materials, xdb for textures, and dds.
