niektb Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) I made a new texture for the Han Elite Infantry Archer and would like to get some feedback. The white archers are for comparison :This is what I used as reference:I didn't add the helmet in the reference as I can't model.

Enrique Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Niektb that's looking awesome, man. You're getting really good at texturing! Very sharp and clear details, the only thing I can think of to improve them is adding a little stronger wrinkle shadowing, it's a bit soft right now.Keep it up! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niektb Posted October 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Oh wow, didn't expect to get such positive feedback! You mean some wrinkles at the legs or in general? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrique Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Yeah, a bit on the pants (they do not seem to have any right now) and darkening (or lighten the outward wrinkles) of the top part. But be subtle, don't go crazy with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auron2401 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'm not sure, but that reference is probably the attire for hunting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolflance Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Superbly done!The leather helmet can be transplanted from melee infantry (i think), but those long feathers....Speaking of which, the reconstructor Jing Ming call this outfit hǔ bēn （虎贲）, which is one of the Palace Guard unit during late Western Han Dynasty (They are simply renamed Qi Men guard). That's why I said before they *could* be mounted. Edited October 9, 2014 by wolflance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolflance Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 If you want to go for a "heavy armoured archer", you can use this design as a reference. Right shoulder guard is purposely removed to not interfere with the bow-drawing movement.(Although I think the fish-scale body armour pictured above is reserved for officer, while normal soldiers use lamellar armour) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niektb Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 An update from my texturing businesses. I made the blue somewhat darker to better match the reference and emphasized the shadows a little more: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Druide Gaulois Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Looking great so far. I like the fact they have different faces, also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 An update from my texturing businesses.

niektb Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 An update:I roughened the legs by adding more wrinkles and reworked the underclothing (visible near the neck). Is it better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I can't see from here but did you add some on the trousers ? Also I'm curious on how you did it for the neck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niektb Posted October 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Yes, I did add some on the trousers.Actually I just copied that over from another chinese infatry texture and modified it to fit my needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niektb Posted October 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Does anybody has suggestions to improve it or should I go ahead and implement it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 It looks fine by me maybe a bit too much saturated on the legs but I believe it´s intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niektb Posted October 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Could it be related to the stance of the sun (if you compare to the first image of this topic)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Maybe could you launch a skirmish and recruit them aside of other units ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wackyserious Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 Attempt to upgrade the Han clothing textures to have proper UV dimensions with the new mesh, this is using the m_tunic_short.dae mesh. @Stan` @wowgetoffyourcellphone @wolflance As seen in the interpretation below, the loosening of the pants starts above the footwraps Planning to: change footwrap to white and pants to a dark tone just like below 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
