Render of one frame and actual def in game are two different things, especially for VCMI where some colors are being wrongly displayed. For example this is Oasis scorpion appearance in game against the render:
Pretty sad, huh?
Apart from VCMI not handling darker colors well, sometimes the conversion to .def file itself causes problems for unkown reasons, like in this alteration of dryad where highlight colors are being destroyed during the process
Anyway, thanks for noticing OxFEA, you have good eye. The def will be downgraded by the .def file itself and vcmi engine anyway, if something extra is needed from my side, those are just cosmetic changes.

Not completely random screen of dryad in game promised earlier:
@Rears
There is no such thing like "ready monster" until the mod is released, and even then some improvements are possible later. Topic is just 10 pages but let me gather everything for you in one place. For the rest (like dwellings) I suggest to see it yourself
      
Those are old version of units for comparision:

The old dryad actually looks better.
No, seriously, your new dryad and the succubus for some reason don't look so much H3-style. They are very beautiful, but they look a little as if they're ripped models from some other game converted to DEFs, a little like warcraft monsters. I think it has to do with the proportions of the body parts and details.
The Troll is obviously much much better. Looks more like Might&Magic Trolls than the old one.
The Werewolf... the upgrade is very beautiful but the un-upgraded one is a little to neat/clean/shiny on the chest... I think it needs to be a little dirtier. Other than that... it is awesome (especially the upgrade).
EDIT: What software do you use for 3d modelling/texturing? Do you have links to any tutorial?

What are you saying? Old model is garish and straggly. It's over-complicated with some flowers and snags and flies all over the place. To make things worse, it's flashing.
The new one, on the other hand, is crisp and simple. It's little plain, but you can easily remedy that, e.g. by adding longer hair, similar to the old model's.

@Rears
I don't quite understand the druid part. We did want to have this unit for an alternative in rampart originally, but it was rather based on M&M VI.
Mod will be released when it's finished ™. We should manage to do so in first half of the year.
@Lord_Immortal
Despite opinion of few people, old dryad is a joke comparing to new one. If it would have been truth it would be sad that I have not learned anything during this time. Old def is released, so you can always have it instead if you insist. ANcientDRuids described it as it is.
Also don't forget that I am not the only 3D artists here (though the most talkative), so for example succub is Sower's work, while werewolf must have been touched by each one of us 
I'm using Blender and you can find plenty of tutorials yourself. It would take you about half a year to year, if you are a beginner to model, texture, and animate the creature. I can help with few things if I see any potential, or provide some basic materials.

It's not that old dryad is better model. It's just more homm3/ looks like from homm3. New one not so much. Skin color and less detailed face looks more fluent with original.
Off Topic
Can we have some new Oasis info please?

That's what I meant too. The conception of the new dryad is better. The def of the old dryad is more fit to Heroes III graphics.
Anyway, that's not the main issue I wanted to talk about. I saw on the HotA site that they are making different male/female hero models for all classes. Plus, they have new animated defs for some units (such as a Fire Elemental whose flames move even when standing still. I'm curious to know, what level of support will this mod have for such HotA features(meaning, how compatible will this mod be with HotA)?
And one more thing, in this project are you planning upgrades/degrades for any of the AB neutrals (Peasant, Halfling, Rogue, Boar, Mummy, Nomad, Troll, Sharpshooter, Enchanter) or HotA ones(Satyr, Leprechaun, Fangarm)?

New dryad is better then old one IMHO. while both are high quality the old one looks too much like h5 one. When I look at the new one I think to myself that if 3do was to do dryad they would do one exactly like that

I know that. I was just asking if they will integrate HotA models for the original factions or make their own.
EDIT: Which version of Forge will this mod include, the one with the bloodsuckers?
EDIT II: How about, instead of the Mindflayers, make as the 5th level alternative for Dungeon the Fear from Might and Magic 8. In fact, keep the dwelling as it is (it actually fits the Fear unit better than it would fit to the Mindflayer), plus it is a very original Might and Magic in-universe creature(unlike the D&D mindflayer) plus the humanoid with octopus head is already the Fangarm from HotA.

VCMI mods are not compatible with HotA, so there won't be integrations with HotA sex models. Unless someone makes ports from one platform to another. MDT Team will be happy, if their work can be played under vcmi/era/hota/master of puppets platform. VCMI platform is easy to mod, porting to other platforms may done only with skilled people.
Lord_Immortal said:

Yeah, MDT's Forge is the one with bloodsuckers. But it is independent mod. Alternatives concern standard H3 towns. Forge's alternatives can be introduce in new version of Forge Town separately.

In appropriate, separate town topic perhaps some time soon.

No. The only possible neutral creature to have such feature is nomad for Oasis campaign, but there is no campaign editor, neither proper map editor to think about it now.

Oh this old thing  Forge also has separate models for heroes. Alternatives are also going to introduce new heroes with specialization in corresponding new alternative creature (and not only).
We as a team are not interested in porting any of HotA content, but to create our very own mods. With this said, VCMI is very different and open platform, and if someone decide to port such feature despite HotA statement, there might be a need to design new models for fortress. We might make it if our new heroes need it. Once we were thinking about the same feature, but since DrSlash has done mostly great work with it, there is no need to do it anymore ourselves.
@Lord_immortal
Interesting idea with dungeon alternative, however already realized for town asylum concept

But Asylum is an abbandoned/hibernating old HotA project and it is extremely unlikely to be ever released. We probably won't see the Fear ever in a mod except for that Asylum screen or some M&M VIII ripped def which do not look 100% good on Heroes III.
Even the Forge has 2 or 3 different versions and was being considered by the HotA team.
