I'm assuming that's the Capitol version?
Looks very high quality.

Yes, it would be a Capitol, but I think that I will have to "destroy" model a little, as it is too detailed for heroes 3 obviously.

Wouldn't work either for HoMM3's poor original screen resolution. Actually I mod some 480x320 and 640x480 DOS-Games... with 256 colors, it's pain in the ass...

HoMM3's original resolution is fantastic and I still play it in 800x600 to this day. Tried the HD mod and I hated it, everything became small and you couldn't see the beautiful pixels anymore.

I hope someday VCMI will allow custom resolutions for town screens, so Nephretes better backup his 3D models to make UHD town screen one day

HD mod lets you select the resolution that you want, so you can make the pixels "just right". Being able to see more of the map with higher resolutions helps, the old 800x600 looks so primitive now, l can not believe I used to play that way. Not to mention laptop monitors and other wide screens today have a different aspect ratio than the sqare 800x600 screen. Even if you don't change resolution, HD mod brings many fixes to the game.

Town looks amazing. Not since Bastion has anyone made this much progress towards an actual functioning desert town as far as I know.
Have you ever considered adding the Sandworm to your creature roster? (maybe even as a side addition like the Drakes you can get in Rampart in the Heroes of Light mod) They're awesome, fit for a sandscape town, and they're in a lot of fantasy (Aladdin, Shining Force, Final Fantasy, etc) and think they'd fit great in HoMM.

Hi,
Thanks for Your opinion. Actually sand worm was present in one of earlier line ups. Now I have only free space for alternative unit and perhaps neutral connected with fraction, so I may think about it. Anyway if I decide to have it I will be doing it from scratch.
Here is another improvement:
Old version was too shiny and was lacking clarity. Not it should be better. It may still change, as it is again in project phase
Edit:
  vs old one for comparision

I also think it's improved. Feels like a more natural creature now, like the magi in tower.
Perhaps sand worm could be the neutral unit? It would add some nice variety to this type of terrain.

The look similar to the Genies in HoMM1. 10% chance to kill 1/2 of enemy Stack.

I have to disagree here: I like the old model more. Especially the bigger, more "oriental" carpet and the animation. But the new one is very good as well, ofcourse .

@P4R4D0X0N
No way, too powerfull 
@Wakkler
You should look for a whole lineup. I am working now on adding more colors to line up. Until now it was too redish and monotonous.
@fred79
I may however try to do something about carpet.
@engwathang
Town is only for VCMI. After it's release I may however work with someone to introduce it for Era. That is only if someone is interested.
Finally we have sketch for Oasis (made by Baloq). I was having big troubles with perspective. We will see where we go from here
