(tunic should go over left shoulder so right arm is free, that goes for all of these)

Looks good. I think his pectorals could be slightly higher tho, anatomically. *and yes, the old texture's pecs are too low too

Good catch. But, you could have a unit of left-handed slingers, as was the case of the Judean Benjamites (although the source is the Bible): "Among Benjamin’s elite troops, 700 were left-handed, and each of them could sling a rock and hit a target within a hairsbreadth without missing".

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

[wowgetoffyourcellphone]

Vertically. They seem to encroach upon the belly area.

lol, well, you got me there! But I think for the most part almost every texture should have the tunic or robe or whatever cloth it is usually slung over the left shoulder.

[Alexandermb]

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.

You shifted it upward away from the belly area?

Pretty good! The current Roman civilian texture is a toga. This tunic would make more practical sense for working. I'd love to see how a toga would look with your normal map techniques!

A side note, we should try to make more realistic/accurate footwear too.

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.

It would mainly be in textures rather than with geometry. I'll see if I can make a thread for it.

@vladislavbelov btw per civ is it better to have 8 256x128 textures  or one 2048x1024 for all 8 heads but with 8 separate meshes, with identical geometry but different UV. (Sadly we can't specify atlas position in actor)

I'd choose the first one for modern GPUs. Also it'll be simpler to optimize in the future (for example replacing by a single texture but with different parameters/colors) as we don't need to so many textures different only in some colors.

Here it's different faces, so that wouldn't work, (only for skin color) I don't think @Alexandermb kept the feature of transparent skin / hair

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.

[Alexandermb]

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

DE's Themistocles looks like this. Maybe could serve as inspiration?

You also still have the shoulder issue.

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.
