norse Improvements of Norse models

When searching images using google, which of the four license filter should I use?

You can't really trust goodl. Because it relies on some stuff on the webpages. Better double check each time by for instance using google's reverse image Search. It can also help finding higher resolution versions

I saw the posts abouts the license earlyer but i fall asleep, and now i have started working on the drakkar modeling from the "viking_longhsip.dae" file, this is what i have made yet. i will be adding seats, shields, and a bit decoration.

@niektb - sorry for the late reply, buddy. Yes, I still have the document. 

Here's the link:

Nearly done with the drakkar, only have to adapt the uv's and make some adjustments
(Mabe it should be called busse or skeid)
(Nevermind i forgot if it had dragon head mastif, then it will be called "Drakkar")

@stanislas69 good points about double-checking licenses for individual files and reverse image search, but initial filtering by license might still be useful to get some set of results for a more careful "manual" check. The proper filter is "free to use, share or modify, even commercially", it should filter out non-free-cultural CC ND / NC licenses (see https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/freeworks/) and their non-CC analogs.

Done the Drakkar, the textures (For test in the meantime) i used are from CC link @Lion.Kanzen posted

Great work !

Only thing I notice there is a bit of stretching on the front, can you fix that ? (God I'm sounding like enrique lol)

If you want you can reuse the textures that are already in the game, or the ones in the mod if that helps next time.

Model done, textures from CC + Snekkja

Good Job !

hooo si drakars 

 

[Alexandermb]

Idk if its needed but i always thinked the nordics lack's the essence of architecture they have, about the longhouses as it is on the trelleborg fort, so if its needed i can try make it similar for a new Civic center of the faction.

[Stan`]

Problem has alaways been the size of it That's why i made a single one. But I'm open to suggestions.

[Alexandermb]

I'm looking what i can do with the actual model making it a bit tall so we keep the actual model but improved so its more like the center of the nordic village, the shelter of the Jarl's.

[Alexandermb]

only need to fix the Uv's and done. but i'm thinking on lowering a bit the upper roof

[Alexandermb]

i think this is good enough,  not so tall, not so short, and imposing inside a fortress, like a real Ivar the boneless great hall

Nice ! Can you try to fix the roof ? The important difference of tile scale is really visible

[Alexandermb]

This is the final model, but i think i should do that too, make the size of the roofs uv's the same.
Note: i managed to add animated oars from the snekkja to the drakkar @stanislas69

[Alexandermb]

About the senkkja oars, first i deleted the snekkja model but only the ship, i left the oars with bones included, after that i moved the mesh of drakkar into the longboat armature, then i select first the mesh i will export inside the mesh with oars so it keeps the animation file, (in this case the drakkar) and the just adjust the size and place of the oars.

[Stan`]

If that works then it's great sometimes armatures and especially writing skeleton files can be tricky. ATM I'm writing a script to convert date bone schema to 0ad skeleton format

[wackyserious]

If we are going to change the Norse CC mesh to this, I suggest that we use the old CC  to a something similar to a Greek Royal Stoa.

[wackyserious]

I'm also experimenting with the wood texture on the Norse structural texture, I tweaked the kart_merchant_ship texture

[wackyserious]

Changes (Tweaked the following)

• Wood(wall) textures
• Prop textures (Barrels, baskets, etc)
