Worgen shadowlands glaring issue!

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.
