@Dumvlag

No plans yet, It requires a HUGE amount of time and effort that I haven't at the moment.
Dumvlag 6 Mar, 2023 @ 5:38am 
Ok, thx a lot for the answer.
P.S. are you still working on a Warhammer 3 version of this mod or have you abandoned that project?
Mazisky  [author] 6 Mar, 2023 @ 5:16am 
I think it was "surrealism" effect if I recall properly. Also remember, source image must be higher res and clean as possbile for better results

@Dumvlag

It has been a long time ago, but the only tools I ever used for these effects are either "Befunky" or "GoArt\Fotor" so it is definitely one of these.
Dumvlag 6 Mar, 2023 @ 4:43am 
ehy Mazisky, can you I know what tools you used to edit the images and add the effects and filters on them?
Mazisky  [author] 26 Feb, 2022 @ 10:24am 
Ehy Dunadan add me so I will explain in chat

Hey Mazisky, I am trying to create portholes for some custom units in my mod and I wanted to ask which data tables do you have to tweak to change the porthole portrait of a unit.
Thanks!
Mazisky  [author] 22 Jan, 2022 @ 1:00am 
I will remake this mod from scratch when Warhammer 3 releases to include WH3 units aswell.

All the portraits, including game 1 and 2 will be remade in better quality.

Please make one last update! This mod is heavenly good!
Jon 15 Dec, 2021 @ 2:28pm 
Is there something else on the workshop as good as this?
Jon 13 Dec, 2021 @ 11:51am 
This mod is too wonderful to abandoned it, please update it! 🙏🏼
Okrund Thunderfire 23 Nov, 2021 @ 1:43pm 
At this point I think this mod is abandoned.
Okrund Thunderfire 16 Sep, 2021 @ 12:24pm 
Please update this at last? this recent DLC patch is clearly the final one. so it makes sense that now is the best time to update this mod for all of the new units.
The Black Kaiser 27 Aug, 2021 @ 5:52am 
Thanks for your wonderful mod! I would like to present my mod compilation that includes your mod for others to enjoy!

This is my favorite mod! Thank you good sir. I really hope you'll be able to update the mod for a final version, it's just too good to not finish it. All the best.
Okrund Thunderfire 6 Aug, 2021 @ 12:38pm 
same
Ligma Bababooey 15 Jul, 2021 @ 9:44am 
can't wait for the update
Woizer 13 Jul, 2021 @ 9:51am 
Oh great and benevolant, handsome and almost always good smelling Mazinsky, the time has come and I, a mere mortal, humbly request the porthole for stone trolls to be of the giant nose and ears variety
Mazisky  [author] 7 Mar, 2021 @ 2:07pm 
This mod will be updated with a single final pass once the last DLC for Warhammer 2 will be released (around april\may) so It would be the final update with T&T units + last DLC units.

Also I realized that getting screenshots in 4k highly increase the quality of portraits, that's why some of them look better than others, since i discovered this half way during the process.

This also means that if Warhammer 3 will get bad vanilla portraits, I will redo all of them (from WH 1 and 2) from scratch along with the WH3 ones.

I know it works, but the Outdated icon triggers me xD
LCDC 30 Dec, 2020 @ 8:22pm 
update so its not outdated
Heuristic Vigil 29 Dec, 2020 @ 9:00am 
Thanks brother
Mazisky  [author] 20 Dec, 2020 @ 10:27am 
@Heuristic Vigil

you need these steps:

1- Use 4k resolution in game or use Nvidia Dsr 4x if you don't have 4k monitor. Without it, they will look too blurry.

2- Position you unit in a way it gets proper light (e.g. facing the sunlight)

3- Press start battle and use slow motion and pause to get the proper moment, then take screenshot

4- Use the zoom key to get as close as possible to the unit\face. If you zoom on photo editor after, you'll lose quality.


5- Apply a "painting" style filter effect, every photo editor has one and u can find online ones too
Heuristic Vigil 20 Dec, 2020 @ 8:49am 
Hey man. Love the mod. Would you mind sharing what type of processing you used on the screenshots to get such clean looking portraits? I'm trying to recreate your effects for some custom units I'm building. No worries if you'd rather keep it to yourself.
kostaskladianos 9 Dec, 2020 @ 9:27am 
Still working.
Mazisky  [author] 8 Dec, 2020 @ 12:28am 
Don't have much time these days. Update will come when possible
Okrund Thunderfire 7 Dec, 2020 @ 11:01pm 
update for latest DLC?
Rozersarusrex 7 Dec, 2020 @ 12:40pm 
Hi, I was just wondering if it would be possible to have a sub mod for the Demonette, Plaguebearer and Bloodletter mods by Balint?
Their models are extremely well made, but using this mod meant I had my Army lord's face in the UI, which was a bit immersion breaking tbh.
Okrund Thunderfire 4 Dec, 2020 @ 8:05am 
Update?
General Titmouse 11 Sep, 2020 @ 10:37am 
My, what a charming porthole you have there.
Mazisky  [author] 1 Sep, 2020 @ 3:43am 
@Corwyn

Yes, but some are very rare to find, expecially at high quality.

@zooted

Yes, all units have been made

@Xillian

They are 2d, they don't move.

@hapsterchap

It may be a mistake. I will restore it along with Wood Elves Dlc, i have little time nowadays so with that release I'll try to add the new units and fix the (C)old ones all togheter.

@Neferata13

There are no plans at the moment, but i would like to add the units for all the most used mods. Since i don't use them, i don't know all of them, so if someone can kindly make a recap of the most needed ones i will appreciate.
Ciaphas Cain 29 Aug, 2020 @ 4:00pm 
Will this work with Kislev Reborn??
Tyrak 27 Aug, 2020 @ 5:15pm 
Hot dang this is so good, thank you guys for this.
Shepherd Bemeu 24 Aug, 2020 @ 9:59am 
Do.. do they still nod at you? That nodding was nice.
bogos binted 23 Aug, 2020 @ 12:43pm 
The porthole image for 'Feral Cold Ones' seems to show a Cold One Rider of sorts? Was a bit disorienting to me when I jumped into a random battle. Just a heads up!
Chief Slapahoe 29 Jul, 2020 @ 7:44pm 
Are there no HE portraits for Avelorn?
Corwyn 23 Jul, 2020 @ 9:31am 
Great work!
I am curious, is it possible to use painted Warhammer unit artwork from WHF rulebooks as portholes, too?
SilentKore (The Better One TM) 4 Jul, 2020 @ 11:52pm 
Ah damn, was hoping to find a mod like this for Radious, but hey! At least someone finally tackled this aspect of the game! Great job!
Bastilean 4 Jul, 2020 @ 7:31pm 
Spider riders could use a relook: try to capture the spider as well like the 3D.
Azhag looks hilarious. Love it.
Bastilean 4 Jul, 2020 @ 6:19pm 
Ok, got it working. It's a little odd how the game doesn't show troopers in the porthole in the campaign map or during scroll over but shows them when the unit is selected
Bastilean 4 Jul, 2020 @ 5:28pm 
I got the Lord's and heroes mod working, but I only see my general in the porthole when I scroll over the troops. What am I missing to get to see the units' portholes?
Rounoush 1 Jul, 2020 @ 12:46am 
Beautiful.
Rhagos 29 Jun, 2020 @ 5:45pm 
is it compatible with SFO?
sheep from hell 27 Jun, 2020 @ 5:15am 
Great mod, will there be a patch for SFO some day?
SenPie69 24 Jun, 2020 @ 7:50am 
Good Heavens! finally, somebody made this, im bored with pale background and quite FPS consuming 3D portraits

11/10
Cossack_Gonzales 19 Jun, 2020 @ 12:38am 
Fantastic mod! Thanks dude!
Nerdex 18 Jun, 2020 @ 5:06am 
Keep up the great work !
Killer Rabbit 14 Jun, 2020 @ 4:39pm 
Thank you for the releasing the Lords and Heroes mod today! I hope that people appreciate the extra work of maintaining separate mods so they have a choice instead of having to forgo the entire mod because they didn't like one part of it.

For myself, I appreciate having the consistent look between all the porthole art. So thank you!
Mazisky  [author] 13 Jun, 2020 @ 3:43pm 
@mag

In a couple of days we will release the mod that changes all Heroes, Lords and Legendary Lords.

However, Karl will be cheerless I am afraid.
