[LH] Owain Glyndwr

Jawk · Apr 17, 2009

Here is my second leaderhead.
Owain Glyndŵr (or Owen Glendower as Shakespeare anglicised it) is the last native Prince of Wales. He led a rebellion against English rule that began in 1400 and lasted for many years. Although ultimately unsuccessful he is still considered to be a Welsh hero.

Another cool leaderhead, keep 'em coming! :thumbsup:

Are these for a mod, or just for fun?

Jawk · Apr 17, 2009

I'm making them for a mod. It's the British Isles starting in 1400, so during the time of the Welsh rebellion, wars between England and Scotland and a number of battles between the native Irish and the Normans who occupied much of Ireland. It's relatively small scale but didn't want to attempt anything too ambitious for my first mod.

Nice

.
But for a prince, there should be a bit jewelry, i think.

Jawk · Apr 17, 2009

I can see where you're coming from but all pictures of him don't show him with any. Although he was crowned as a prince I don't think he had a great deal of money to spend on such things. Particularly towards the end of the rebellion he would of had to live quite rough. But thanks for the suggestion.

Sounds cool. It seems like my mod, just 300 years later.

Hi Jawk,

I like the artwork of your leaderheads and I wonder if you've ever watched the "Battlefield Britain" series? One of the episodes was on the Welsh rebellion and they did show 3d representations of what some of the leaders might have looked like. Perhaps this would be great for you to get some ideas about other leaders/leaderheads like Hodspur, etc. who where key figures at the time. (Their representation of Owain Glyndwr looks nicely medieval and you may enjoy the program as part of your research for your mod.)

Jawk · Apr 18, 2009

No I haven't seen it, but thanks for mentioning it, will definately try to check it out.

Ah, okay.
Leaderheads should be realistic, and i didn't know that, so it's perfect

great job!

Does anyone else think the hair (if slightly reshaped with a pony-tail added) could work for Thomas Jefferson?

Flintlock1415 · Apr 20, 2009

I think so, esp. w/ a nice powdered wig texture.

Healz · Apr 20, 2009

How about the Danish Prince Hamlet as immortalised by Shakespeare or his father? Just an idea for you...

Huayna Capac357 · Apr 25, 2009

That has a great resemblence! :eek:

Ekmek · Apr 28, 2009

did you add shaders or did you use the nonshader version?

Jawk · Apr 28, 2009

It's made from the nonshader. To get it to work in game properly i did have to set shader to yes in nifscope, guessing that didn't add a proper shader but don't really understand all this properly. Only really know enough to get them to showup and they look alright to me so I'm happy with that.

Laruku · May 9, 2009

Thanks for posting your LH. I'm trying to use it in a new mod, but it can't work. I edited the XML file and realized that two art files were missing: *.kfm and *noshade.nif. I'd greatly appreciate help in making your LH work.

Jawk · May 9, 2009

I'm glad to see someone using this in a mod.
The animation it uses is that of cyrus so you just need to copy the .kfm from his.
As for the noshader, there simply isn't one. However you can just use the .nif for that is there for this.
I'll attach the artdefines that I have for my mod for you.

Code:

<NIF>art/LeaderHeads/Owain/cyrus.nif</NIF>
<KFM>art/LeaderHeads/Cyrus/cyrus.kfm</KFM>
<NoShaderNIF>art/LeaderHeads/Owain/cyrus.nif</NoShaderNIF>
<BackgroundKFM>art/LeaderHeads/Owain/cyrus_bg.kfm</BackgroundKFM>

I'll also point out that i haven't made a button yet, it's on my list of things to do but isn't really a priority. Its simple enough to do but if you would like me to make one for you then let me know.
Hope this helps.

Ekmek · May 9, 2009

I think the animations has to be in the same folder as the nif because the kfm looks for it if i'm not mistaken

Jawk · May 9, 2009

It works fine for me set up like this. As the path is to that of the original all the .kfs are in the same folder as the .kfm if this is what you mean. But as the nodes and armature and such haven't been changed the nif works on this animation without having it in the same folder. With more complex editing of the leaderhead it may need the animations in the same folder, but for this it works perfectly as i have it set up.
