are we going to have cubemaps reflections?

tunic_short: tunic_long: player color:

No player color added:

@wowgetoffyourcellphone Thoughts? Missing the clavicle adjustment and another tweaks. The neck blend's perfectly with the new heads

AAA, yes yes, i flip the texture once its baked at the end when the uv's doesn't cause any trouble. I was doing the test to avoid skin issues if the bake is done for every culture for every civ to match the head tone: by issues i mean detailed shapes that won't end deforming in the final process. This is a deformation because of the uv target:

Yeah with detailed textures the issue is bigger. im fixing the UV map of the target using the checker but since its not the same mesh.

Missing head for Themistocles any reference? Tunic cuirass for themistocles baked:

IE i use two bakings one with the diffuse plain color and one with the alpha layer as holdout:

Probably i can, i belive i can use holdout shader, didn't tested but maybe it could work. The hair baking is kinda tricky becase of the shape of the curves.

Mmmm animation references..

Prob i missunderstood the language, but what i did was grab the Chest in sculpt mode and vertically displace it. Give me a thread for the footwear (I apologize if i'm asking too much, is just that i can't investigate rn), prob can be faster and its easy to render. i just did a few curves and a plain mesh in the foot to give it a shoe haha.

Increased the height of the pectoral:

To make a visual difference on the civilian's Roman's tunic:

Actually i have the same thought last night but was too late to do something. the slinger has the sling on the Right arm. with the robe on the right arm basically with each throw it will end naked.

I Can flip them horizontally easily in Paint.net. By higher you mean vertically or Volume?

Comparisson:

Toga long, short, tunic:

Toga Short:

As the mod is partially ready, i would like to finish the female head's also and leave another topic later for hero's as long as my skills allow me to do something at least a little bit different for the hero's. Missing the celtic's head with pattern's.

To explain the Combat variant, the word "combat" is used in the Unit.Ai component as a special variant when the unit receives the order "approach enemy" or "attack and walk" the variant "combat" is forced into the entity. So as this is already implemented in the base game, the trick to use it is replace the name of the variant xml file with Combat. Replacing every actor with the combat new variant but it induces a new requirement to make every cape separated for Attack type: Swordsman Axeman Spearman ............n or either someone give the combat word another code like to give an additional prefix so we can generalize the cape's. So for modders: Just add the combat name variant if you want your entity to walk aggresively to an enemy entity instead of walking like in a field of flowers to burn a city.

Btw to clarify: The issue with the high poly model isn't the model itself, is the distribution of the UV map's on the current body wich make's more difficult to bake high poly models into the body mesh, until now. The only issue left is the hand mesh/uv currently used wich has a non used space and a overlapping UV on the thumb wich could be either fixed and rebaked but i would need help replacing the hand's textures on current textures for a more detailed and normal mapped hand or just adjust all the meshes and use the unused space for the hand wich currently is just a blurry skin tone.

Blender provided a full human body (even skull) repository for free in their webpage and also Animal Fur Examples wich i used for the cape.

Feet done!

@Stan` How much is the file size limit for source files or for posting on the forum ? the body blend file is almost 2Gb but i like any1 could have it here and experiment if they know how to sculpt and bake.

At least the baking test work's fine. Ignore the missing hand's is just a test of preliminary for skin shader's with norm maps for new head's:
