Round3DPortraits

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

If you are experiencing problems with the AddOn, please submit a ticket here.

UPDATE: This addon has been updated to with with Mists of Pandaria. I also fixed some code that was causing UI taint. It should work better than ever.

Creates player and target portraits from 3D models using some modified default UI frame graphics that blend well with the default Blizzard UI elements. You can use it standalone, with completely round frames, or you can use it to cover the default 2D portraits on the default frames by moving the frames around with the mouse.

There is also a config option to use PitBull4's player and target frames as the parents of the 3D portraits. This makes it quite easy to make PitBull look more like the default unit frames.

There are a few other configuration options to check out as well. They are in Interface/AddOns from your WoW main menu.

The latest beta version contains some nice textures you can use with kgPanels and PitBull4 as you see in the pictures. They're in the Textures directory. I'd suggest adding them with SharedMedia and then creating kgPanels parented and anchored to the PitBull4 frames. That's what I'm doing with them at the moment.

I've also added functionality to display some of the Blizzard vehicle frame graphics when switching into a vehicle, also changing the model.

Another nifty new feature is that the player frame shows a small graphic when the player has a debuff that can be dispelled. This feature isn't totally complete, and will need to be fixed for Cataclysm, since the dispel classes are changing.

If you're looking for a simpler, more customizable 3D portrait/unit frame addon without all the fancy artwork and functionality, I've created one. You can find it right here.

NOTE: I'm no longer packaging alpha builds, since I like to do lots of commits. (Working on different machines...) I'll try to keep the betas reasonably stable.

This should be fixed in the latest version.

I promise this will be my last comment, sorry!
The ability to stop the level indicator from turning into sleep or combat indicators would be nice, as well as a Focus 3D frame.
I'm gone :)

"There's no real UI reason to do so."
Just personal preference. I enjoy using the dragon on my portrait sometimes -- it seems to me that with end-tier gear, you're pretty much an "elite" 'mob' of that level :) But that's just me, if you don't want to do it then that's fine (obviously).

"As for the sleep icon, I actually tuned that to look the way I liked it."
The funny thing is, I agree :p I like yours better. It's just that when I use Round3DPortraits to cover the default frame, the bottom of the default's sleep icon sticks out and is annoying to a UI perfectionist / OCD nut. I may dig around in the code and try myself, thanks for the tip.

"Editing the menu is actually kind of a pain, and I honestly never use the focus function from that menu." Neither do I, but again, it's an OCD thing :p So no chance of a click-through option either so that it can fall through to the 'real' frame? Dang. I may be able to hack that in myself though, we'll see.

Cheers, thanks for your quality work, and sorry about the backtraces (I thought Curse would add a scrollbar for long posts).

Last but not least... sorry I didn't think of this before >.> No edit ability.

The Blizzard frame's "sleep" icon is a bit different, and larger, than the mod's. Do you think you could tune that a tad? Thanks yet again for your consideration :)

I don't plan to add dragons to the player frame. There's no real UI reason to do so.

As for the click through frames for the menu stuff... Editing the menu is actually kind of a pain, and I honestly never use the focus function from that menu. Maybe I'll remove it at some point, but TBH it's not a huge priority for me. I think there might be another way to do it to where the full menu works, but I've been working on my full UI (daedhirui.blogspot.com) as well as a couple of other addons, so my time is limited.

As for the sleep icon, I actually tuned that to look the way I liked it. I think the way Blizzard did it wasn't quite as good as it could be. So I'm going to leave it the way it is. You should be able to find the relevant piece of code where that texture is made. The dimensions are pretty easy to set manually. But as I've said, it's tuned the way I like it, and that's kinda how I'm going to roll with this addon. :)

Also, a feature request :)
Could you please allow the player's unit frame to be set to use some of the alternate frame decorations (silver dragon, gold dragon, etc.)?
Thanks for considering.

...and a minor suggestion / feature request.
I managed to get the addon to load/work, not really sure how.
For a while now, Blizzard has made "Set Focus" a protected function, so only Blizzard code can do it. So that option should probably be removed from the menu.
But an idea -- could you add an option to make the frame click-through? That way, no matter where the user clicks on the frame (assuming they're overlapping the vanilla frame), they can use that function. Also, that would make it so that, just like with the normal frames, the right-click menu always pops up in the same position, instead of being attached to the mouse (try right-clicking the portrait vs. the rest of the frame to see).

Once more, thanks!

Nice addon!
Using v0.4 with the latest WoW 4.0 as of today, though, I get the following errors on load and whenever I enable/disable the portraits (not using PitBull4 integration):

This should be fixed in v0.5. Please put this sort of thing in a ticket so the stack trace doesn't fill up the comments.

No way to do that currently, I could maybe add an option.

Fantastic piece of work. Very much appreciate it.
Can I ask...Do you expect to add pet/focus/Tot or is that not where you're headed? If you choose the pitbull 4 option, can you move the frames relative to a pitbull frame?

I don't really have plans to add those other frames. They don't require many extra doodads, so I just use some of my custom textures (found in the Textures directory) with the pitbull portraits for the other units.

As far as moving the frames relative to Pitbull frames, there's currently no way to do that, although I should be able to add one pretty easily if it's an issue.

Those are custom artwork that I did. I make a UI compilation available that you can read about here: http://daedhirui.blogspot.com

I am planning to update the UI to include my new addon very soon, and it will have all of the correct textures and stuff.

Not sure what you mean, Darkblitzer.

You can turn off the PitBull4 option and drag the frames on top of the 2D portraits on the default unit frames, if that's what you're asking.

Ok, well I think Pitbull is tough to work with.
I just wanted to know if you could like:

Override the 3D portraits on the 2D ones?

As I said, if you go into the addon options, you can disable the pitbull4 integration. This will then allow you to move the round portrait frames anywhere you want, including on top of the original Blizzard portraits that are attached to the default unit frames.

You can see what this would look like in this screenshot:
