Worgen shadowlands glaring issue!

[Trustlvlfour-hakkar]

Male Worgen upright models pls.

[Mohamedaleaf-emerald-dream]

Agreed. Horde have gotten boneless undead, all orc skin tones, etc - lets see an update for our furry friends. Genn doesnt have this issue, let the players share this aspect.

[Rosenylund-herod]

Abolish all hunches in the game and make them stand up right.

Please and thank you folks.

[Lysaon-hyjal]

It would be a nice option.

[Obersmoffe-echo-isles (Obersmoffe)]

[Kotoe-area-52]

this wouldnt work. due to the physical limitations of the worgen. gen is seen standing up straight but he can only do this for a short time. male worgen have a more feral wolf like apearance and body structure, while the females have more humanlike bodystructure which is why they usually always stand up straight
what they should do, is give worgen tails considering wow is the only place they dont have tails

[Leelinn-aerie-peak]

They should at least have the option, like orcs. The females should also have the option to hunch.

[Gaahr-whisperwind (Gaahr)]

i want an even more severe hunch

i want to put quasimodo to shame

[Utsuhofox-thrall]

Hang on, I think I can fix the male worgen hunch issue!

Let’s see just brace here and then pull back like so and…SNAP

Oh…oh dear…worgen regenerate right?

@Mohamedaleaf-emerald-dream

boneless undead

What are we without bones…
I don’t want to hide my bones, i want more bones!

[Utsuhofox-thrall]

@Ukhu-lightninghoof

What are we without bones…

Probably a pile of flesh.

[Cezol-darkspear]

@Rosenylund-herod

Abolish all hunches

An option to do so is fine, forcing people to be upright isn’t necessary.

Tauren, for instance, i believe literally cant lose their hunch.

[Cezol-darkspear]

@Kotoe-area-52

male worgen

@Kotoe-area-52

while the females

Both have a majority human-esq body with wolf parts, especially their back, which has no reason to be hunched over until to reaches the point of their neck leading to their face, which can be more horizontal without having the entire back be hunched.

[Mohamedaleaf-emerald-dream]

The old retired Horde player in me approves!

[Lethys-lightnings-blade]

@Kotoe-area-52

considering wow is the only place they dont have tails

Lycans from Underworld don’t have tails.
Werewolves from Van Helsing don’t have tails.
Werewolves from Harry Potter don’t have tails.

[Kotoe-area-52]

i wasnt reffering to that. they arnt werwolves for starters, they are shapeshifters which is much, much different.
two, many blizzard properties depict worgen with tails, wow itself though doesnt for no reason at all. you can find examples of these posted in the thread “give worgen tails” here on the forums.

[Lethys-lightnings-blade]

Werewolves are shapeshifters. They shift their shape into a different one. By it’s very definition, they’re both shapeshifters.

Blizzard’s official launch art for Worgen don’t have tails. The old Worgen form didn’t have a tail either. Ever since Worgen have been introduced into WoW they haven’t had tails.

Even Ralaar, the “first” Night Elf Worgen is depicted without a tail in the book.

Worgen, from a lore perspective, don’t have tails.

[Kotoe-area-52]

yes well then you should tell that to blizzard cause again wow is about the only place they dont have tails.
and no the official concept art for them had tails, but it was removed by the time they were actually added.
originally all worgen were going to have tails and the model actually has a tail built into it but its hidden curently, you can activate the tail though if you mess with the files.
so with this is mind they could very easily get tails and theres no reason they shouldnt as an OPTIONAL feature
the game engine wasnt able to support the tails when it was thought about but it can now

Still could have alot of model improvements, in general:

Male worgen leg textures

On the new male worgen, I’m noticing that the textures on leg armors are stretched around the waist area, particularly on the front and back of the inner-leg area… It’s pretty bad. It looks like a contour shadow on the butt and crotch end up being stretched all the way down the upper thigh… Leg-texture armors end up looking like the character is wearing diaper. Also, the waist area and belt is far too high… it looks pretty hilarious to have the belt pulled 4 inches above the navel. Is this …

.

Some of this was fixed after release… The sit animation looked really bad on the legs after the patch, but this was actually fixed… some tweaks were done after the patch, obviously. Most of this still stands.

Male worgen update, good job so far, still more to do

The heads got alot of work, and look alot better. It seems this is where 90% of the work went. The bodies not so much… There’s still room for considerable improvement: . The male worgen still have screwed up animations. Like, look at the sitting animation “SitGroundDown”. The ankles bend backward. Can also be seen on “SitGround” The elbows and knees still bend with “twisting”. The elbow looks alot better with the faster weight transition. The thighs are still pretty bad. Look at “Meditate” t…

.

Repeats some…

Worgen are the greatest 8.2.5 addition

The heads of both male and female are grade “A” upgrade. The bodies I think are not. There are actualy technical problems with them, and some subjective problems. On the males, some of the old animations have problems now where they did not before (like ‘sit’, watch the ankles) or are worse. The body structure is improved in some ways, and worse in others. The waistline was adjusted, badly, in Legion and not fixed in these updates and made slightly worse… the beltline is far too high and the low…

.

This thread wasn’t explained well, but basically, the way the skeleton and textures are structured around the male worgen waist is just kinda, not great. This was adjusting the textures and skeleton, then adjusting the starting pose to get rid of the scoliosis back… Still hunched, but the hunch looks alot better, I think. It still mostly fixes the belt-warping problem… That’s would just, really, take some topology fixing.

Worgen models, maybe like this instead

Hmmm. For the male model, as a quick start… Instead of this: https://imgur.com/7XCjJSs Can it be more like this? https://imgur.com/vNainRl It’s the spine shape, the placement of the waistline, and the angle of the pelvis in the hunching. The waist is too high to be realistic on the current model, the spine bends in something like an S shape when it should be more of a U shape.

[Kotoe-area-52]

its to bad the updates for the worgen in shadowlands still havnt been released. im really excited to see what all they add and changed. some of these things might even be fixed
