Again... all of these are SO cool!

Thanks again for the detail on that document too.

This is making me think we may need to, with 1D properties, also cause the base culture (ethnicity) designating itself in competing volumes in our cities as well as the more advanced cultures that branch off from those. My point is that Ethnicity and Culture would be two differing pools of competing influences... These units would then be produced according to the Ethnicity Majority in the city.

Also if you need a backup, Google Drive gives you 15gb. It has to be. Zip and if you want others can download.

Are you going to be skinning futuristic units in a few months?

For sure
I preffer skinning tanks, planes etc. but first things first

@sparth

Can you also do your units all at one height.

I remind about that because we also have unit rescale project.

see last post by TB

Im only using existing models, dont changin it (except deleting shields, ornaments etc). I dont have experience with 3D modeling.

I can only say that most of these models are the same size
Only mounted and siege units are bigger.

He doesn't control how big a unit is. The Art defines file tells how big a unit is. The size is all controlled by <fScale>. And what value is put in that field. Thus having a unit 1.0 depends upon the scale of the original unit. And many units are different scales. For instance most of the animal units are much bigger than civ4 units and have to be scaled way down.

However, IF the original scale of the units is somehow normalized in their 3d mesh files then fScale could be moved to the size combat classes and the unit would inherrit the fScale there and would always thus be kept to a consistency based on the combat class size of the unit.

Would take a pretty big effort on the modeling side though.

are you going to include this in official c2c releases

I made only graphics, rest is in hands of XLS codders.

Hell yes! Might take a bit of time to implement properly but YES!

@Sparth

Great job on the ancient African units!

I still get NO head on the American Horseman?? And what did you use for the Early Merchant??

1. Horseman - ok we skip this entire model. Looks like bugged or something.
please use atached model (nif files and dds too). Main nif file is: african_horseman.nif

2. Early merchant - main nif file is newnativescout.nif
For more information which nif file use please check this spreadsheet
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqVuHphw5zHzdFJxakFzTkRxUmhDRkVKWTZaOEo2Nmc#gid=0

If column H says "no" then use NIF from my downloaded model because these model aren't included in C2C yet.

No offense, but i need to know which unit you derived the model from, because i am concerned about KFM's not Nif's.
If i use the wrong kfm, that is when i get (see attached) Early Merchant looking like this?? And headless horseman etc.
Nifs are easy to figure(its right there in the file) but kfm's are a different story (animation)

Dunno which KMF they use. Most units from download area in Civfanatics dont have that info. I presume Early Merchant is using the same KMF like Wanderer.

As for Horseman i use this model as a template:
http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2993
and probably he using Mongol Keshik KMF

I uploaded preview images for ancient:

European units: http://imgur.com/b4qzTMM

Tomorrow ill start making Middle Eastern skins and google spreadsheet for ancient units. This time ill try to put column with information about animations (KMF files). Should be easier to include new skins in mod.

Assassin units look fandamntastic, well so do the others

@Sparth

Why is the European Batista Mammoth grey? Looks like an elephant.
