Unit preview: canoe

Random Observer · Mar 17, 2004

A generic canoe. Might add oars or somthing later.
Edit: preview removed see lower posts.

Very nice. But what about Civ-specific color? And people might be nice too.

ocedius · Mar 17, 2004

Oars would be nice, but could you make it a little smaller. Looks a tad bit too big for Civ3, bigger than the galley. Otherwise, me likey. :egypt:

Arne · Mar 17, 2004

Looks nice. And someone who use a paddle would be cool. :cool:

Aluminium · Mar 17, 2004

Looks good! Is there a paddler too?

@Arne
Same minute, same thought :lol:

added simple oars, and im not sure about the civ color, if I can get a decent looking guy to paddle i might make him civ colored but I dont think I can make a person very well, otherwise i might make a stripe civ colored or parts of the oars.

Heh, thats looks really good

CANOE GOOD

Perhaps you could wrangle another model maker into a person for the boat - talk to Kal-el, since many of his/her models would be perfect, and if the bones are there, little modification need be done...

Civ specific person would be perfect

I like the idea of the oars being the civ specific color, or maybe it could just be the bottom of the oar or stripes on the handle....
The canoe could also use some more texture, and the inside could be darker.
Nice unit, very useful. :goodjob:

Got the oar animation down
SW run preview:
EDIT: the right oar shouldnt be spining like that I just noticed it and am to lazy to fix it.

Could you also make a version without oars and wheels. I could really use it for my mod. (Predicted Futuristic Aztec unit

)

Much thanks if you can.

Mithadan · Mar 18, 2004

When you're "rowing" a canoe (you don't really row one anyway) I don't think you'd have such a circular arc. More of a long, flat oval. The oars (again, canoes have paddles) would come out of the water, and then pretty much skim over the surface of the water, instead of going way up into the air like in your animation.

Nice model, though!

Yes, absolutley.

Actually it seems we will not get our paddler. But other than that it still looks nice.

BtW, I like your AoK-conversions.

Wheels on a canoe? I guess I could do it but you would have to be a little more specific

Thanks! Yea I know thats not how paddles work exactly but since Im using POV-Ray I have to represent movement mathmaticly and for now thats the best I can do.

Looks very nice :goodjob:

Unexisted · Mar 18, 2004

Just put two wheels on each side. I cant think of much more to say? :confused:

Since the mod had the word futuristic in it i didnt know if you wanted the wood stlye or more futurey textures. The upload file page isnt working so ill attach it. Two axles:

Random Observer · Mar 18, 2004

Or three?

Unexisted · Mar 18, 2004

First one is great. :thumbsup:

If you could it and maybe add an little box in the front where arrows are thrown I would truly appriciate it.
