About Simple3DPortraits

This is a simple addon that draws 3D portraits for the player, target, focus, pet, and target of target units. Ideal for use with kgpanels or some other skinning method. Pair them with your favorite unit frames for flexible portrait placement. They are actual unit frames, so you can click them to target. If people seem interested, I can pretty easily make them usable for click casting.

It's intended to be simple to keep the mod from breaking when new patches are issued. If you want fancy model switching, you should probably look elsewhere. (Although the frames do change models when the unit is in a vehicle.)

The frames can be moved by dragging, and can be resized by grabbing the lower right corner. You can also finely tune the positions and sizes of all the frames in the options, which are located in the usual place, Interface/Addons from the main game menu. The text boxes allow them to be moved much further than the slider bars.

Any ideas for simple improvements are welcome.

If you experience any problems please leave a ticket here.

    Is there a way to flip a portrait so it's always "facing" one direction or another?

    If you have the Player and Target windows arranged so they appear to be facing each other, sometimes the target will be facing away from the player instead and it looks weird.

    Unfortunately, there's no way to do this. The portraits are actually generated by the WoW client, and they only provide so many camera views.

    This is just the simplicity that I was looking for in my upcoming UI

    Lovely and simple mod. One question is there any means to move the player's toon in the frame? For instance to zoom back and show more of the model or turn them.
  • #15
    No, there's currently no way to do that.

    This would pretty much introduce a level of complexity that I'm hoping to avoid. Maybe if I can make the interface simple and the code lightweight enough, I'll look into putting in some more model customization. For now though, I'm going to stick with portraits only.

    Good to know. I guessed it would become more difficult as a result.

    Hello, I get this error message whenever I join a battleground it seems. Thank you for this addon by the way!

    I just uploaded a fix that should take care of this, please try it out and if it's not fixed submit a ticket.

    Very good mod to take the place of ZMob. Works great and only took a few seconds to set up.

    One idea for improvement would be the ability to change the strata of the portraits.
  • #12
    I might add this feature, and frame level as well. Submit a ticket, please, so I don't forget. :)

    Hey - thanks for this. ZMob stopped working with the patch, and I'm not entirely sure that it's supported anymore.

    One thing that I do miss; there seems to be no way to right-click the portraits.
  • #11
    What should right clicking do? Are you looking for the unit dropdown menu?
  • #13
    Yep, that'd be it.
  • #5
    I didn't put up a screenshot because, well, they don't look awesome without extra artwork. ;)

    But I'll try to make a good one this weekend and put it up.

    Thanks for the feedback.
