I've worked with skinning before with WoW, using MWCS and MyWinMPQ to swap one of the NE and BE skins to a dark black "drow" skin, as well as replace one of the troll faces with another "attractive" one. However, there are some model swaps and corrections I've been trying to make for some time that I need some help with. I have the latest WoWME and I can make that work, but I'm trying to either find or make model MPQ's for that that work.
1. Tweak body types for some races, primarily NE. I've found something artistically off about how the NE female body type has been modeled. Early on in WoW they seemed fine, but somewhere there was some complaint and a breast reduction modeled in. I'm not trying to be hormonal and give them ZOMG boobies, but when you measure their proportions from the hips and thighs they seem wrong, like there should be more upper body to balance them out. Its just aesthetically not right for them to have those hips and thunder thighs with reduced chest sizes. There was a WoWME applicable patch for that at wowskins.mmorgy (Improvements Pack For Females). Less critical than that I'd like to remodel the orc females just slightly to give them a bit more curve than square at critical areas like the hip, waist, and ribs.
2. Model swap for warlock pets. I've made a skin to make the succubus look how i'd like, but I wanted to implement a model swap for the felguard to turn it into a female eredar like in the patch at wowskins.mmorgy (Felguard to Female Eredar). Also wanted to swap out the imp with a different model to something fiery and translucent to make it look like an angry spriteling of some sort, as well as swap the voidwalker and felhound to some other similar in game model that looks more sinister, or in the case of the felhound "not f****d up".
3. Druid form swaps. I think I already found a skin/model for these (Druids of Azzinoth patch) , but any advice would and links to alternates would be nice.
After those more serious modeling changes I might be inclined to look into deeper changes, like swapping out all the awful terrible designs for weapons and armors that the WOTLK patch brought in for better ones used previously. That or the world might just poop on my day with the ones listed above being impossible to do now, leading me to find fulfillment in simple armor/weapon swaps.
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
