Title: [QUESTION] Lich King Alpha model
Post by: TheMetalCarrots on September 22, 2016, 10:09:18 pm

Anyone have the Lich King Alpha model or know if it even exists, I've been looking through old Alpha/beta files for WotLK and couldn't find anything relating to it, but I could have swore I saw it used in game at some point. If anyone doesn't know, it's the Lich King model that appears in the Wrathgate cinematic and it's the current Lich King rigged onto a human male.

Thanks in advance

That's not the alpha model. The alpha model is wearing the helmet and has different eyeglow -- you can see it being used in the Wrathgate cinematic.

Maybe they replaced the model in a later patch? Look in the wotlk alpha client (http://reznik.wikia.com/wiki/3.0.1.8303_Friends_%26_Family), maybe it has the model you want.

Yes, the Lich King model used standard human animations and different particles until around alpha build 8400. Here is the old m2 file if someone want it:

Alpha models use the M2 structure from Burning Crusade, so it won't work in current versions of the game, however you can use Blender to attach the Lich King helmet to the current undead Arthas model and clone (http://modcraft.io/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=797) the eye particles from "WorldExteriordesignersTestFrozen_Throne_Nosky_EyesOpen.m2".

The cinematic was released before they updated the Lich King model, so it has standard human animations.
