Mythos_Ruler Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I visited Nashville, Tennessee a few weeks ago and visited their reconstruction of the famous Athenian PARTHENON. Inside is a reconstruction of the statue Athena Parthenos. So, I was struck with the notion that we should definitely have this statue in the game.

historic_bruno Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 That looks awesome! Good thinking to take photos while you were there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted August 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Yeah, it was pretty awesome.So, there were 3 important Athena statues in Athens. The Athena Parthenos, of course, but also Athena Promachos, which was solid bronze and stood atop the Acropolis. It was visible far out into the sea. Ours could just use the exact same model as Athena Parthenos, but with a different texture and maybe different base.The other was a much smaller (slightly bigger than life-size) wooden statue of Athena ('The Palladion') that the Athenians paraded around on a litter during religious festivals. She was usually draped in flowers. Incense burning at her feet. Escorted by virgins and priests. Could just size down the Athena Parthenos, remove a bunch of polygons, and give a wooden texture.

oshron Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 would this be a free-standing building or part of the Parthenon Wonder? while it's inaccurate, i would personally recommend that the buildable Parthenon not have the statue to put less strain on the about of faces it has, while for scenario design one could theorectically place the statue inside the Parthenon for authenticity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan` Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 According to Enrique on December 14th 2016 to my question "Did you make them ?" Quote No I didn't, they were commercial free models I found. I trust him to have checked the license. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would trust him if it was intended for 0 A.D. vanilla, not so much for DE, which has copyrighted placeholder art. "free" doesn't specify if it's CC0 or if we need attribution or what. Point being I would feel much more comfortable if it were home grown, or at least knew the original artist for attribution. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure I understand. I'll try to look for the original models as I have no way to contact him. If the license is compatible I'll commit it. If not we'll I'll wait for someone to come up with another version. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Looks like this one http://www.cadnav.com/3d-models/model-21087.html and it was in 3dsmax format when Enrique send it to me for conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGood Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I suppose we could add CadNav to the credits for attribution's sake, I don't see any specific artist's claim on it. I'm cautious because I heard a while back there was a misunderstanding with CGTextures license being incompatible with our own, despite being a free texture distributor...

There doesn't seem to be any license attached to it? Under "License", it just says "Free (Personal and Commercial)", which is not really a license. Nor do their terms of use explain much more about that: http://www.cadnav.com/help/disclaimer.html The possibility of that model being compatible with the CC-BY-SA 3.0 seems rather bleak to me...

wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Welp, this blew up. That is indeed the base model. The model in DE is heavily modified by @Enrique, to reduce polygons, add a plinth, reskinned, etc.  I hope you don't mind, but I sent an e-mail to cadnav.com to clear up any licensing issue. I will report any reply to this thread.  30 minutes ago, LordGood said: I'm cautious because I heard a while back there was a misunderstanding with CGTextures license being incompatible with our own, despite being a free texture distributor... "Free" is a problematic "license" indeed. Let's see what cadnav says. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
