Well crouching would make sense if you wanted to attack a structure. If one day we have formation bonus, and testudo are nearly immune to arrows that would make sense.

[Alexandermb]

also, how i could assing the left/right animations? i haven't learned yet how the 1..1,1..-1 works about position.

@Alexandermb Might help https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Formations

[Alexandermb]

At least is a start, the 3rd row should show the upper shield animation, haven't done the left side animation yet, walking speed highly decreased compared to how it is on public folder to 0.15 (or 0.25)

Oh you made it work !

[Alexandermb]

on the diff file the idles should stay or they only remain for a few seconds?

@Alexandermb

Not sure what you mean, but if they are in formation, when idle they should stay in formation.

I'm wondering if those guys weren't carrying two shields, to keep it square. Actually never mind just look at the top post image. there should be one guy in the middle, dunno if we can do this.

Their hats shouldn't go through, but then again not much we can do.

i wonder the same but the "toys" show a floating shield if looked from back while the photos shows only from the front plane, for now this is what i have done, the guys on the middle always lack of weapon and hold the shield with 2 hands so the formation is indeed just for defense and not for attack as the anti cavalry formation

More 48+



here don't remain at idle, maybe i pasted the code wrong,

[Alexandermb]

And this is the half of the testudo formation, maybe i should do it as a new variant just for testudo:



PD: yes i will delete the caps, i haven't touched this file since i downloaded the SVN

Do not use caps for animation names: Testudo → testudo.
There are actually two variants, one with no protection on the sides, and the one you made. 
Still a bit doubtful about the guy at 45 degrees...

 

Unrelevant but could be added later

Skiltron / Orbis

 

 

[Alexandermb]

The caps are there since that time you told me about the caps and others OS they will be changed, for the spearman i guess the anti cavalry formation wouldn't harm isnt it? Circle formations are possibly? the document says rectangle, square, triangle but dind't saw circle if the formation allow use the space between each row i would delete the 45 degrees but whitout it the space between him and the others 2 is big enough to make harm so the formation will look strange

[Stan`]

Nah I don't think it's possible without hacks. 

Yeah if you have time why not. Next I'll check the camel.

I need to use the trot animation as well but I haven't had time :/

[Alexandermb]

@stanislas69 have a look at the files, for now i'm only using the marian legionary the idles only have done a few since they don't remain at idle formation.

Roman_legion.7z

[Stan`]

Maybe the patch didn't apply then :/ I'll have a look this week.

 

[Alexandermb]

while i'll wait for the patch i think the helmet of the marian legionary could have an update

Nice !
You could generate a curvature map using xnormal (two colors), remove the red by adding a substracting red layer and overlay that on the texture. That would give a subtle touch of a wearyness to the texture. Also, you can apply a bump map to the texture when you bake to make it look a bit  less flat

Can you upload the blend ? 
Can you make variations ?

Here is an example with the kush skullcap of the bump.
 

kush_skullcap1.blend

[Alexandermb]

i will do the others with feathers, and the crest.



rome coolus.7z

the kush blend file don't have the texture images, try using this:

[Alexandermb]

Btw @Alexandermb how do you get so clean results when sculpting ? Do you use custom brushes or some extension ? Is there a tutorial you could recommend ?

[Alexandermb]

i found in blendernation one addon free with 15 custom brushes for rock's so they work perfectly for helmets, leather, etc.
