Your choice to update a model.
So I was wondering if you had the choice which pet model would you update first and why?
For me I'd probably start with the bats as I really hate the hole that runs along the side of their wings, I know its because its also the forsaken taxi mount but tbh thats just blizz being lazy and not making a better riding seat for models like that.
Feel free to post pics/artwork if you want

Yeah I hate the way some pets constantly have their mouths open, I was considering one of the Northrend saber worgs recently but I just didn't like the fact that they constanly have their mouths open, other than hat they are nice models.

haha yeah, I know what you mean, I prefer the Outlands imp model, would be nice if there were a greater selection of warlock minions available or at least a selection of glyphs to add some variety, it would be cool if locks could enslave their demons permanently rather than have a set selection but then how many people would run around with one of the Eredar twins as their Succubus?!
So bats seem a popular choice for a re do, so what would people change? Apart from closing their mouths etc?

Re: Your choice to update a model.
- They need a full revamp in my opinion. Their body is the most bizarre shape with this huge globe-like chest cavity that squeezes off into a pair of legs that bend backwards at times
- The holes in the wings at the side drives me insane, I can't stop looking at them whenever I see a bat.
- The texture needs a major update....it's particularly bad on the claws at the wingtips. They're like a jpeg image that was blown up to double its size, all jagged and pixelly.
- That open hinge jaw has to go. ><

Re: Your choice to update a model.
I'd love to see the hyena models updated. More polygon count, higher resolution, and most of all, the old posture back!
Otherwise, they COULD fix the old-world cats' (not saber cats') faces so they aren't squished with giant noses!

Re: Your choice to update a model.
Cannot. Unsee. Lines.
Ditto this for the wolves.
I understand why, for sentimental reasons, they might never be changed, but it's a sad thing to see the work become so outdated. They wouldn't have to change drastically; just clean up the lines a bit, y'know? There's gotta be a way to capture the essence of the being.
Honestly, though, my first choice for an update would be the character models. Then the troll druid models could be updated so they don't look so shabby next to the worgen...etc.

Re: Your choice to update a model.
Kalli, what would your first pet choice be for a model update or do you mean a worg update generally not just a texture fix?
Re: Your choice to update a model.
And some of the TBC models too; mainly raptors.
Also Chromaggus needs better teeth.
Edit: And Hydras, as much as I love them to bits, they could use some buffing up to date too.
Re: Your choice to update a model.
I actually like the bat model. But I would really like to see hyenas get an update. They look soo old. For instance, their entire lower jaw and teeth is just a square.
I've also grown to hate the 'mane' on the tallstriders. There's that really ugly black patch of pixely ugliness. It's most noticeable on the pink and white skins

Just look at those cheeks.

Re: Your choice to update a model.
Tallstrider's legs look... awkward. Like hey were poorly cut from MS Paint.
Bears; always in this terrible crouching butt-to-the-sky position with their front legs almost parallel to the ground. Ew.
And though they are recent and nice looking otherwise, I hate the mouths open on the worgs (Lookin' at you, Skoll ). Glad Arcturis' mouth is closed, though.

Re: Your choice to update a model.
Well, it depends on how the texture fix would be applied, if it would require a major remodel to smooth things out to be more like worgen fur.Dvalin wrote:Kalli, what would your first pet choice be for a model update or do you mean a worg update generally not just a texture fix?
I'm very uneasy about wanting more than touching up old artwork. I would say that the old world cats need love as well, but I wouldn't want the scraggly old lions looking like Sambas, for example. They have character, even if they look like they're from a different game in some ways.

Anyways I don't think any of us want to see them looking like Sambas. Far to many people would roid rage and QQ and not just because they lost their lions.
But I mean even you have to admit that the hair could do with some work and the model itself to an extent. I think Sambas is used as an example for the majority because well like how druid cat models are, his is well even if it's the basic cat model, it's gotten touchup and work all cats could have.
IE more polygons, less balding lions.
