Preview time!
Next unit in the works: a Knight of Dol Amroth.
Still a few things to do before I start animating, like find a bridle and reins prop, and play with the banner position a little, but it is just about ready.
A quick question: should the attack be overhand or underhand? Which would be more historical for a Late Dark Age knight to do?

Niiiiice!

looks nice. A suggestion, perhaps keep previews in a seperate thread in the main forum?
Sweet!!!
Overhand attack would be more appropriate, if I'm not mistaken. The Normans at the battle of Hastings had barely started experimenting with couching the lance under their arms, and 1066 is pretty much past the end of the Dark Ages already.

Yep, spears were thrown overhand before melee.

Wait, how would an overhand attack look like? I`m not familiar with the translation in my language, and the literal direct translation gets me very confused about anatomy. Any units with an overhand attack out there? Is it like when you are about to throw a spear?
PS - I think the shield is great, but isn`t it a bit large for a rider?

As does Utah's Rohirrim:
As for the shield being to large: I can shrink it real easy, that's why I posted the preview!

Alright, I've added the Knight of Dol Amroth to the pack. My first Horse unit, it was a pain to work with, but I'm overall happy with it.

Overall, I like your knight. Attack is well animated, fortify is great.
I think the man should fall faster in the death.
The unit doesn't have shadows. Make sure the ground prop is visible and you have shadows checked in the render options.

I was trying to figure out why there were no shadows...I had the shadows option checked. I didn't check the ground...I just checked the ground...and it was invisible. Crap. Well, I'll re-render it.

I agree with Quinzy, the death anim is really.. impossible. Everything else is cool

But hey, I can check up on threads like this while rendering...

Don't worry too much about it. I've done the same thing several times...
