Enrique Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Please post here shield types, emblems, weapons, armors and other unit props on the time period that you think should be included.This is my first shield test. Directly from a public domain ptolemaic coin image. Not sure how historically correct this could be. Rounded bolts would be probably be deleted, they're bothering me a little. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Yeah, I've never seen their shields using "bolts" along the rim like that.For the backs, just reuse the existing shield back textures:public\art extures\skins\props\shield\...hele_aspis_back_blackhele_aspis_back_silverhele_round_backmace_round_backmace_round_back_amace_round_back_b(I attach some here for example)As for designs, mostly "Hellenistic" shield patterns, with stars, crescent moon shapes arrayed in a circle pattern, and of course the Ptolemaic eagle. The Galatian swordsmen can use the standard Celtic shield patterns. The Nubian archers probably don't get any shields at all (though, we could probably give them a cheap "Nubian Spearman" mercenary at the Civ Centre, like the Egyptians get in 'Age of Mythology'?).Both the Ptolemies and Seleucids will use these patterns here (except pattern 'o' which is exclusively Seleucid, the anchor being the Seleucid emblem):Some more "successor" or "Hellenistic" shield patterns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrique Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Another test. I made this one fairly quick with blender sculpt tools. I think the most time-consuming part will be hand painting different parts to mask them out in order to use different colors/textures/playercolor. I know the design sucks, but I was experimenting Anyway, there's already a lot of macedonian bronce shields of this kind in the game... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrique Posted June 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 More designs, not colored yet. I found an easy way to mask parts of the shield based on the height of the carvings, so we can have nice playercolor by zones easy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post also more designs currently under production with black and white layers for easy selection/masking of shield parts in photoshop. Any special shield design request accepted (heroes?)

I guess you don't use real layers then, just masks?Any special shield design request accepted (heroes?)The wreath one with the side view of Ptolemy's face in the middle of the shield would be good.And one like this one on the white elephant tower (right side)... the half moon shapes surrounding the face of Ptolemy.

Enrique Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 I guess you don't use real layers then, just masks?I render the image in blender from orthographic view from an high res sculpt, bake the displacement to a black and white image so I can have a layer to select different parts easy with the magic selection tool and make changes in photoshop (transparencies, color changes). I'll probably render the images with an transparent multiplied AO layer. This way playercolor is just selecting the part you want, erase it to make it "transparent" and then the multiplied AO layer will create nice shadows in top of the playercolor. I hope I explained it clearly, if not you'll see once posted The wreath one with the side view of Ptolemy's face in the middle of the shield would be good. Nice. Can I use that image? is it copyrighted?EDIT: Added a screen from GIMP as example. Specular highlits could probably be rendered in a different layer, to add it in top of the playercolor, but I don't think it would be neccessary.
