Amazing recreation of Uther dude. Can you create a young version of him?

Johnwar the Modelbringer

I noticed the Uther B, his cape skirt has a missing part in the viewer

 

[BaiyuGalan]

Faith holy light!

 

[Footman16]

In your animation gifs it looks like the top bit of his leg armour clips with the book. Otherwise a great recreation of the HD Uther in SD

Yeah, like his WarCraft II: ToD Knight appearance, minus the beard.
Of course, that's just me for his style. Don't have to do it.

 

[Jiok]

Very Classic.I hope you can recreate the other paladins in the Warcraft III: Reforged.

 

[r.ace613]

In Lightbringer's name, have at thee!

 

[Carefree World]

Can you make a version without weapons and a version with a giant sword??

 

[Resyak]

Damn and sexy paladins, how I hate and love at the same time Thanks for another excellent job

Regards.

Sir, I noticed that his eyes are blue? Doesn't Uther have green eyes in Warcraft 3?

Yes, they are a sea-green. Back in ToD and even in Shadowlands, though, his eyes were brown.

How profoundly unique!
F warcraft for killing off both Uther and Grom tho

 

[ILH]

Fair amount of edits for Uther.
Works in-game. Approved!

 

[StormKnight]

I love Uther B the most, though i noticed you dont do that trick where people who make Arthas or Uther fix the shoulder clip issue.

 

[Grinnersh]

Wow, this looks great, can yo made an Anasterian Re-Classic, please? Would be awesome Cordial greetings

Actually, no. Blizzard's to blame for unnecessary retcons to the lore.
Shadowlands should never have been released because it's half-baked and focuses much on the Cosmology, which is also half-baked.
Also, IMO, Christie Golden shouldn't have written Sylvanas, if it retcons Edge of Night.

This model appears to suffer from the issue where the ribbon emitters on the weapon are perpendicular to the shaft of the weapon instead of parallel. My theory is that originally ribbon emitters on weapons were meant to be similar to when an artist draws cartoon lines behind a moving object to indicate the speed with which it was moving.

However, due to bugs and inconsistencies in model editor programs like War3ModelEditor or whatever, a lot of uploaded models to Hive inadvertently and accidentally flip the ribbon emitter so that it is perpendicular to the shaft of the weapon, which then presents itself like a magically induced width to the weapon or something else weird that we don't see in original Warcraft 3 classic models much at all. For many years we had no "View in 3D" on Hive and we had only programs like Magos that don't properly preview this so many models would be uploaded and the issue could only be verified ingame.

However, we live in the future now where we have epic, awesome technology like "View in 3D" and we can quickly see that the ribbon emitter on this model is bugged to be perpendicular versus if we look at the original paladin where the emitter is parallel as if to indicate fast motion.

So, can I ask to double check, as an artist @johnwar did you intend to flip the ribbon? Or maybe did you start from an Ujimasa Hojo resource that was likewise bugged or whatever?

I'm curious because this feels like a case where people making MDX software kind of failed the community because of all these tools that erroneously flip ribbons, so it seems like I might be benefiting society by pointing out the issue whenever I see it.

I started on the model of Ujimasa Hojo.

 

[Retera]

Ok thanks. I reported the bug on the Ujimasa Hojo model of the paladin's thread. Is that the same place? Or is there also an Ujimasa Hojo version of Uther (specifically) somewhere I should comment on?

a beautiful classic
