Finnaly Ready. The BG is not the best, but I can change it if I have a special resquest or someone can change it if he wants, its pretty simple.

EDIT : SEP 09

My last update. If you do not have any suggestions I'll only change the BG and then I'll release it.
If you havea suggestion for the BG, it would be appreciate.



EDIT : SEP 04
He is not ready yet but I add some objects on it, what do you think of it now ?



I'll reskin the clock (now it use kodzi cape) and try to do something with his eyes.

Any suggestions on how I can modify it to make it a lot different from his original model.

I thin now, it look a lot different.

Well in fact he can be a lot of other leaders, I just write charlemagne because it's a better title name than [medevial king leader].

It can be Charlemagne :

or even Clovis :

or any white bearded king.

It's not done that why I didnt upload it in the DB, I'll probably add a crown on his head but i want to know you impression before I relase it. Do he still loke like cyrus or it look like an unique leader ? Ah, and the BG is really ... simple I know but it can be changed easily. If you have any suggestion for the background please tell me !

It doesn´t look like Cyrus, but his texture resolution is somewhat low and doesn´t blend very well...

Anyway, it´s almost the first time I see a leaderhead that doesn´t look like the original one! :goodjob:
 
He definitely doesn't look like Cyrus. Actually, from that screenie I think Cyrus looks worse. :)
 
Good job, but the body needs some fixing, looks like apoor man. Remember that the leaderheads use NORMAL maps that add much needed deapth and as you said, the king needs his crown, But its a job well done!!

Edit: He looks blind.... and remember that he was tall soo try to make that illlusion, if you can.
 
i can add him a crown ! do you want ?
 
Looks great, very origional, there really seems to be a shortage of medieval European leaderheads, and it;s very good to see a leaderhead that doesn't look like the original

No thanks, I'll do it myself.

No, he do not use normal map. All the map like the gloss map are lost in the processus of creation, that what happen when you import/export a LH to Blender to modify it.

Maybe I'll try something to make it look more noble

The eyes look better (he no longer looks like a Spice addict), I REALY like that crown but I'm wondering if the gold could be made shinyer. The Cape seems to be hovering a few inches above/off his body. Considering the protrait your basing it off of the cape could be even larger, almost to the point of covering the arms. If thats an issue with arm motions then perhaps the radical step of not having any arm motions could be taken, this would serve to further destingush him from other leaders.
 
Hmm. I wasa trying to think which Civ would be a better suit for him -- Germany or France, but Edge is correct, a proper Frankish Empire is the best choice. Can it form into the HRE? :P
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but I belive nothing prevents him from apearing under both civs, and if by chance the random number generators will it, their can be two of him in the same game.
 
I was just going to add the frank kingdom. More so to represent the middle ages and the lands of France/Belgium/Switzerland/Germany/Netherlands.

IMO the France/Germany in Civ4 have a "modern" (16th-20th) century feel to them, both with the UU and UB being more modern. Even the leaders seem Modern.

I mean.... Germany already has Fredrick, Bismark and now Hitler.... I didnt think they needed a 4th. France has Louis and Napoleon, and I think a 3rd is overkill anyway.


Doesnt matter, to each his own. I am having a problem researching unique Frankish cities though, only having found 2 so far (Liege & Aachen)
 
Thanks for doing this - it's going straight into Anno Domini - though I might change the background for that Cathedral at Aachen where he's buried ;) .
Fantastic work :goodjob: !!
