===[COMMITTED]=== Mauryan Head Gear

[Mythos_Ruler]

Need to compile references for head gear.

• Hair styles
• Turbans -- The more variants the better.
• Jewelry

Back then they had amazing quality jewelry.

Some turbans

[Mythos_Ruler]

They seem to be wearing very large ear rings?

Yes, that's very popular.

I'll start working on some of these.

[Pureon]

Here's some new head gear (and faces):

Hope you guys like what I've created so far. I'm using the same unit body in this screenshot for testing purposes only.

I have some textures ready for more elaborate hero head gear, so I just need to find time to model them.

[Sighvatr]

I like it a lot! Do the amount of cloth on their head represent rank?

[lilstewie]

You should give a lot of them the frontal hair knot. Even the ones without much cloth.

Could very well be, or a strong way of differentiating between unit types.

Yes I should

[lilstewie]

When ever you can. Can you make this?

Based off of a painting. It looks like a turban style specifically used in battle.

You can see the guy who made this put it on some of the Mauryan civ units. The yellow turbans.

I'll definitely give it a try, although I can't picture the back structure of that turban very easily. But lets see how it goes.

@Pureon : that last version (#14) is very good.

[Pureon]

Update with player colour textures and some new meshes

Also many of them now have the frontal hair knot.

[lilstewie]

Looks great. Adding the hair knots makes it look authentic for the period.

[Lion.Kanzen]

and some buildings.

[Pureon]

Thanks lilstewie, glad you approve

One thing I just noticed is that the turbans with white fabric on the top are a mistake, the white fabric will be player colour too...

[Ludo38]

Excellent work Pureon.

Just one remark (not about the head gear) : one of the faces (like the first in the foreground) has cross-eyes, and it makes it look a bit weird... I think it deserves a little fix.
