Hello everyone!
A couple of months ago, I discovered the 5th installment of the series... Yes, there are still people like that.))) I don't know how I managed to avoid it before, even though I've played all the other parts except for the seventh.
I enjoyed the game; in my opinion, it's even better than the legendary third game! So, after completing all the Campaigns and deciding to play on maps, I immediately didn't like the fact that all the heroes look the same. Naturally, I decided to look for mods that would make the heroes unique. And I was very surprised to find that, after so many years, there's nothing worthwhile on the internet except for your mod... (at least in the Russian-speaking internet). Well, and at the same time, I decided to create some myself. So, I thought I'd share it with others.
I've created heroes for the Rangers so far. And I've also made some minor adjustments for the Humans and Necromancers. But they are practically 100% done in your mod, so there's no point in posting those models. Besides, your mod has a different concept; you're making all the heroes mounted.... All the abilities are preserved from your mod; only the models, textures, etc., have been changed.

It was quite difficult to make the heroes have different faces, using essentially one model (Fayden), but I think I managed to do it, plus some of them also resemble their "icons." In the screenshot, it's not quite finished; there were more changes after that. I haven't bothered with the flags yet; all the heroes have white flags. If anyone needs it, it's not difficult to replace them; I'm just fine with it this way.

Now, about the MOST IMPORTANT thing!
In principle, I can rework the Dark Elves in a similar style, but it's more complicated with the Academy and the Dwarves. I don't know what to do... So, I'm asking for your help...
What do I want to know? For example, how can I "attach a head" to the Djinns? How do I create a new hero model?
After a few days of searching, I managed to find Maya 6.0 on the internet; I wanted to figure out how and what, but I don't understand yet how to create this .Mb file. Specifically, how do I create a new model "with minimal effort," extracting the necessary resources from the game? I've seen Psatkha's tutorial; everything works like in his tutorial... Please, if anyone knows, help me!:)

I apologize for using your work without permission!

I don't know, I liked it... Although, I didn't look at it in the game, and it seems a bit small in the screenshots, but overall it's harmonious, thanks to the formal attire that visually "hides" the figure.
But the female dancer, yes, she's a bit bulky.

Will you allow including models that are not creatures and infantry units in the mod? Of course, we will mention you among the mod developers, etc.

Cool! :smile47:

If you have experience with 3ds Max (or the latest versions of Maya), it will be easier, but it's still simpler to use Max - there's more information! :smile13:

P.S. My nickname is psatkha - it's pronounced "psatKha" in Russian ;)

In my opinion, making models for elves based on the Faidan model is a strange decision - they turn out too masculine. psatkha wrote that he is preparing models for elves, so it's better to wait until there is a good model, and then create textures for each elf based on the model from psatkha.

Back then, I had a question for the developers of this mod. How do you plan to create the Djinns? Something feels off about them being on an elephant....

Here's another screaming hero (I don't know what else to base him on).
