===[COMMITTED]=== Seleucid champion chariot

[Enrique]

 

Needs to be for 2 passengers, anchor for 4 horses. Just the chariot no horses. 

Bonus: textures for the two units in the first image:

Hey! here is some help in how to create textures in Blender!

Seleucid chariot champion was at first designed as a melee chariot. But gameplay apart, some screenshot with different perspectives would be cool.

And once the unit model for the cataphract is complete, that can be used for the driver

[Enrique]

That looks good enough! Good work. Maybe tone down the saturation a bit. Easy fix.

Is it rigged? Or the wheels are able to rotate at least?

[Stan`]

It's rigged, I attached the source files aswell

@Alexandermb The chariot I told you about.

[Alexandermb]

Got the files, looks good and i see the cataphract have a mask so i've updated the mask 

[Stan`]

We should probably tweak those chariots to take the horses into account.

Also we need body armor for those horses. 

What do you think @Alexandermb

[Alexandermb]

i agree, and maybe use this texture you made

to make this. So it just take a little tweaks in a horse texture for make the look of armor with the body variants i'm trying with the horses

0 A.D.'s chariots always looked weird to me. Yes, no scythed chariots have survived, so some artistic licence is allowed. However, those forward pointing blades puzzle me, as do the scythes attached (or actually piercing through) the horses.

Literary evidence mention scythes attached to the axles (those are there) and blades below the cart itself (those seem to be missing), but no scythes attached to the horses are mentioned, as far as I'm aware (perhaps those could be removed?).

Xenophon is a relatively reliable source (he was an eye-witness), e.g. Anabasis I.viii.10:

πρὸ δὲ αὐτῶν ἅρματα διαλείποντα συχνὸν ἀπ᾿ ἀλλήλων τὰ δὴ δρεπανηφόρα καλούμενα· εἶχον δὲ τὰ δρέπανα ἐκ τῶν ἀξόνων εἰς πλάγιον ἀποτεταμένα καὶ ὑπὸ τοῖς δίφροις εἰς γῆν βλέποντα, ὡς διακόπτειν ὅτῳ ἐντυγχάνοιεν. ἡ δὲ γνώμη ἦν ὡς εἰς τὰς τάξεις τῶν Ἑλλήνων ἐλθόντων καὶ διακοψόντων.

In front of them were the so-called scythe-bearing chariots, at some distance from one another; and the scythes they carried reached out sideways from the axles and were also set under the chariot bodies, pointing towards the ground, so as to cut to pieces whatever they met; the intention, then, was that they should drive into the ranks of the Greeks as they advanced with the intention of splitting the opposing line.

I can work with texture with @wackyserious I draw face and wacky helmet to be precise.

@Alexandermb For obvious reasons at least to me, I can't commit this if it's the new horses. Is it ? The chariot itself has been accepted by enrique.

[Alexandermb]

Here's one with the public horse (i keep the other saved).

Can the wheels have a few more segments?

I meant making the wheel rounder. But that's up to you.
