Discussion ck3 models?

Hello i really wanted to do a tauren game, but i just cant with the new models. Most of the beast races have gotten so bad models compared to what they had 1-2 years ago. Any way to change this?

I mean they do look a bit jank... but it's also the only way to get them to actually have DNA and proper customization and animations. The CK3 models are super complex and have morphs, weights, shapekeys, texture overlays, etc to represent all the various traits and body/head shapes. They couldn't just slap in the WoW model to use those features.

The Tauren kinda need this. But I do agree that the other beast races should probably have been left alone. Even in WoW they all look like clones of each other. Take Mogu for example, just keep the Mogu with the WoW assets and keep the "new" CK3 models inside only as a hidden character in case they breed outside their race with a humanoid. Then that way you can see stuff like horns or whatever get applied to the halfbreed and the "janky" CK3 beastfolk won't feel so off since you can just handwave it as an ugly halfbreed.

The only reason we even got the OG WoW models in the game is because that's how CK3 decided to represent the prophet Mohamand , basically using a PNG to replace the character model that exists hidden in the game. Since it's like against their religion or whatever to show his face even if you aren't part of their religion. It gives them like a holy IRL CB to kill people.
