Alexandermb Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I got the idea of change the way the roman army look (animation speaking) and make it more refinated, more like an disciplinated army. The actual legionary use Ready variant and kinda look weird to me being them one of the most important unit of the Roman empire. My plan is to only change Walk/Idle (Maybe run?) with this: Walk: Sword on the sheath Idle: Not done yet but something like this Actual legionary animations 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphyrth Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Regarding the idle and ready-to-fight animations. I've been watching the Metatron, and he's been harping that the Iconic Imperial Shield often rested on the shoulder, or at least on the side; its full weight is not being carried by the hand.

wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Actually, @Alexandermb, I think Testudo animations would be good to work on too. They currently have none. And then some intrepid programmer can code formation bonuses. Right now, all formations can do is alter movement rates. Not sure why whoever it was stopped there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not, they are very easy to make being something famous and just some idles/walking animations with shield raised the most hard to do is start from 0 like the siege weapons animations or the horse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 The gladius look very y short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandermb Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 Also i couldn't avoid look that some weapons have variants with some blood MAYBE with a carefull look it could be changed to weapons whitout blood while idle and use the bloody variant while in combat "<variant name="idle" frequency="1">" <prop actor="props/units/weapons/WEAPON CLEAN.xml" attachpoint="weapon_R"/> "<variant name="Attack_Melee" frequency="1">" <prop actor="props/units/weapons/WEAPON BLOOD.xml" attachpoint="weapon_R"/> 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandermb Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 So, the gladus should have more height? i need to know for make the sheath properly, like i did the ones for the xiongnu adding a prop point in the scabbard for place the gladus while doing something.

Lion.Kanzen Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 The actual design is very similar to original RTW. very short in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphyrth Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 The gladius does look short. But given the condition (the gladius should be short enough to be hidden by the Shield when drawn back), it seems to be just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphyrth Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Take an example stance from this video. It might actually depend on the stance to show how long the gladius should be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
