Warlords of Draenor Alpha Models

Just because you seem to lack even the limited brain functioning to distinguish between the two, here's a quick preschool-level tutorial.

Models are how the object looks. Skeletons define how the object is animated (the rigging of the limbs, mouth, anything that moves in the model basically).

None of these models shown here have been seen before, therefore they are not recycled.

As for why Blizzard recycles skeletons, it's all about time. It takes a significant amount of time to come up with entirely new animations for every single new model type - if they did, then there would be considerably less new models in the expansion, which would cause even more QQ from you lot on the forums. There's no sense in creating entirely different animations for similarly shaped creatures when you already have some available and are on a major time constraint.

I used "skeleton/model" because I wasn't sure and still you got what I meant asshole.

And for the rest of your pathetic reply the answer is in my previous post so I won't even bother.

Mmmmm I love the pale orcs!

Did anyone else look at the new talbuk models and think demonic MLP? I was laughing so hard at my computer screen that my husband got up and came over to see what I was looking at. I'm loving these new models though!

Butthurt because he proved you wrong.

People constantly moan about "reused models" when they have no idea wtf they are talking about.

Don't like it then gtfo really, just wah wah wah, gets boring fast.

If it was actually true, you'd have a point.

New talbuks and sporebats lookg awesome, giant boar mounts?!

Not really the same feel as the old ones... dunno how I quite feel about that. I hope there will be armored versions that may look a bit less... lumpy?

Can't help it but.. How many times have we heard it's the Old Draenor? It SHOULD look like this. You know it's a Talbuk. But between this Model and the Old one are like.. 20-30 Years and .. something like... THE WHOLE PLANET BEING TORN ASUNDER?!?!?!?

I'm sorry if anybody doesn't like them but you gotta honor Blizzard right there.

They didn't do any fanservice for the Old-Model Lovers at all. It's a REAL Talbuk, not some twisted creature like the current ones. And all of these Models scream "SAVAGE!" which is perfect. Because that's the only word you could describe everything about Old Draenor with. Everything can bite off your Head if it so pleases. This is no Planet of Happy Space Gazelles running through the green fields of Nagrand. This is Raw Warcraft Power. The Homeland of one of the Two Major Races, Warcraft is about. You can Stay in Outland all day, if you like the Old Talbuks more. But just don't think about talking the new Beasts bad. Because for the Theme and Lore of Draenor AND this Expansion - These are the most fucking perfect creatures they could come up with.

The art work is stunning. The new models look incredible. Definitely excited now!

Those Goren creatures... They remind me of Sporelings. Same height (i think), similar sharp thinks on the hands.

He proved your lot wrong, now you're butthurt, nothing new here.

And IF they would actually make new skeletons for everything - I wonder how long it takes until you cry about them taking too much time. Funny, that's what your lot is. Really really funny.

Woooooooow. We've come a long way, graphically, from 2002.

I'm dissapointed on the direction they are taking the talbuks. It was one of the things I was looking forward to see. But, these models is lacking the essence of talbuk for me. So, another thing I don't like about the coming expension. So far, I been unable to get excited over WoD...

How do you suggest they make new skeletons for animals that SHOULD be moving in the same way as already existing animals? Such as the talbuks...it DOES make sense for them to run like talbuks have since TBC, no? Or should they run on 2 legs?

Stop complaining over nothing.

What is the problem? You'll still have the originals...these are from a more savage world at that, so makes sense they look more rugged and, quite frankly, awesome.

I just worry where a saddle will be fitted on that rather short back.

Those boars remind a lot of the boars from Princess Mononoke, the face at least. o.o

Except he's right and you are wrong. So what do you do? Oh you insult him.

Clearly not the response of a pre-schooler.

Looks great!

IF Draenor has Ancients does that mean Dreanor has a world tree? or a emerald dream aswell?

well the titans shurly were there so why not , i dont think azzaroth is the only planet they "formed" over time.

Thrall looks better in this post than in the previous post.

I really hope the new wolf models don't have the same running animation as the current worgs - I would love to tame one, but not if it has that stupid lope.

Let's throw tusks and spikes on everything, guys! And give everything more muscle definition and better shading! Then all the players will be stoked and repeatedly talk about how "savage" everything is!

Savage savage savage!

Seriously, people?

Yeah, sure some of them look better than the old ones, but they don't look anymore "SAVVVAAAGGGEEEEE" than anything else. They've been doing this whole barbarian metal, wood, brown color scheme, crap since Wrath of the Lich King. It's like they went from being high fantasy to just wanting to make everything spikes, wooden boards, and giant chunks of metal.

I like Outlands Talbuk better. It's just kind of hard to get extremely excited about any of those when they're already existing creatures, and none of them are all that exciting. But I guess there's a lot more to see.

Those Talbuk doe.......... want.

The gorum look like baby Krogun...
