Anyway, I will do anything (armor weapons, props...) for them.Tell me what you think I hope you will like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion.Kanzen Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 The armor in humanoid units are in texture, obviously this don't happens with swords or helmets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) The armor in humanoid units are in texture, obviously this don't happens with swords or helmets.Well, then I won't bother to texture the armors, but anyway, i haven't seen the new dude model, nor have seen if the little skirt was part of it. If its not, the model won't look good. Edited January 13, 2014 by stanislas69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrique Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I have the impression that the eyecandy tasks threads should have some kind of identifier or tag to diferentiate them from the main tasks.As said before, armors are painted in the texture rather than modeled. Some props in the first post look like they have more trianges than needed, but can't be sure without a shot showing the wireframes.And one very important thing, seeing the armor textured shot that Stan posted: keep in mind that we can't use images found around the internet as textures, we must be sure that the images are licensed as CC-BY-SA 3.0 or public domain and credit the image author if requested. I say this because it can be clearly seen the watermark in the red fabric texture you used which is sign that it is copyrighted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Will do that next time ==[EYECANDY][TASK]== for Example.I needed some practise on armors too, that's why I did them, also, would be nice to have them, since there are armor props to make, because it would be nice for a scenario.Sorry bout the texture, didn't have time to make one from scratch, can't get that wavy feel.

Micket Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I think you might be spending a bit to many polys considering how very small these will be in game.Also, you have plenty of ngons which you will need to work out (see corners of shields), or the will be converted to triangles automatically (and probably not as well as doing it manually). Quads are usually ok unless they are very distorted, but you have 10 corner polygons in some places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanderd17 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Also, eyecandy stuff is made to be placed in the scenario editor. So it's nice if there are many small eyecandy pieces, so the scenario designer can choose the placement of those things. Else you get too many repetition over the different maps. I don't know if you mean this as a single eyecandy object, but IMO, it would be better to split it up in a few. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't really reduce the number of polys of the helmets so I hope you're talking about the swords...Also, eyecandy stuff is made to be placed in the scenario editor.

Micket Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Actually, maybe your insistance on quads are limiting your options. The handles on the swords are a bit overdone, but round things (which are always tedious) can also be reduced, for example a typical case:Even at fairly close distance you can barely tell the objects apart, and the left one has 84 triangles while the right one only has 36.

Stan` Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Hi, I'm done with this one, here is the final render. You can improve the texture if you like, I provided the XCF with all the layers, If you use anything of it don't forget to give me credits. =)Gladiators.7z 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
