Enrique Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Ah, if its for a hero, then fine So I guess there'll be another howdah for the normal units then?No, as lilstewie suggest, it was said just to have howdah for the emperor. Please check the types of elephants here: http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=16700&st=40#entry261071 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrique Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Here they are:Still not happy with the hero elephant yet. I'll make him another head armor with scales, and probably I'll touch the howdah textures to fit better with the rest of the elephant.The other two I think they're almost ready 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pureon Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 These elephants are looking brilliant Enrique, nicely done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Falcão Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Don't change the howdah too early, Enrique, it is looking so good i'd feel pity to change it at all... But since it is needed, finish the rest before touching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since it is needed, finish the rest before touching it.lol I considered the other two elephant units as finished . Anyway, I just changed the scales color and lightened the howdah, it was looking too dark compared with the rest of the textures.Can we consider it ready for production now? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Falcão Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Very good. The scales are perfect. The howdah is perfect. If anything, i'd only add some border to the cloth under the scales (it's still looking a bit artificial, compared to the other elephants), but yes, it is ready to be put in the game.You guys are really giving special attention to the Mauryans, uh? All the buildings and units are looking amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraitii Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Looking pretty good. Not too sure about the specular (makes it kinda plastic on the armor/textile) or the actual game rendering, but it looks good overall. The hero elephant in particular is really great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sighvatr Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Do the humans on top of the elephant, carry weapons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Falcão Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 If you look at lilstewie's references, you'll see most of them, if not all, do. But weapons are details, will only be added when the model is complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen.Kenobi Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I really like it, but something is buggying me. I don't know what it is... Maybe it's the specular as wraitii said... Maybe I think the collors of the texture are too bright for some reason. Not sure. But this is an amazing model & texture. The amount of detail you did is awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khopesh Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) If you look at lilstewie's references, you'll see most of them, if not all, do. But weapons are details, will only be added when the model is complete.I am thinking of this in terms of animating, but if the hero in the basket-thing is to attack, would he not be standing up? Maybe he could be sat for idles, but during attacks he would need to be stood?I really like it, but something is buggying me. I don't know what it is... Maybe it's the specular as wraitii said... Maybe I think the collors of the texture are too bright for some reason.I think the colours need to be bold. Especially if you are zoomed out while playing and they are in battle and hard to spot.But the one thing that's bothering me is the legs. Them seem too straight: they don't seem to get thinner/thicker. And they seem to be too far apart too. Elephant legs tend to come close together to help support their huge bulk. Just type "elephant" into google image search for more reference, but here are a few: Edited March 11, 2013 by Khopesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaggy1024 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I am thinking of this in terms of animating, but if the hero in the basket-thing is to attack, would he not be standing up? Maybe he could be sat for idles, but during attacks he would need to be stood?That wouldn't work with the current animation system. I've suggested a new way to tell the game which animation to play which would (hopefully) allow that (http://www.wildfireg...54), though.But the one thing that's bothering me is the legs. Them seem too straight: they don't seem to get thinner/thicker. And they seem to be too far apart too. Elephant legs tend to come close together to help support their huge bulk.

Also, the second two images you posted appear to be African elephants, not Asian ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrique Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Soo.... I decided to animate these elephants, I worked a lot on them and it's a little sad to see them sliding around. So I took the african elephant skeleton and modified it, applied bone wheight in vertex groups to make the deforms look good. Once rigged I started from the african elephant animations and modified them for these asian models. The death animation was done from scratch. Sorry for the crappy presentation I hope to get these ingame soon. (some further tweaking needed) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
