A Random LH

[Saketh]

I reskinned a random LH the other day for my own entertainment.



I'm not going to be using it, but if someone needs it for a mod I can upload it, or fix it to make it look more like someone.

I'm trying to improve my skinning skills, so C&C is appreciated. It was originally supposed to be a pirate, but that didn't work out too well...

That looks amazing Saketh !
Why not upload him as a Pirate??? to me it looks like one of the most exceptionally well-done LHs on the forums. I'm not sure if I'm gonna use it, but I would certainly like to add it to my library . Good job.

I was trying to add an eyepatch, but that doesn't work since the skin doesn't cover the eye. It ended up looking like someone punched the pirate in the eye.

Also, I was trying to get Ragnar's background to work with the LH, with a modified ship. It kept crashing, probably due to a silly mistake. Once I get this to work, I will upload the LH.

Keep a version without eyecap. Once I go for 3D Leaders he would be interesting as is for my Tilea civ

Aye matey, tis a good enough pirate!

Can you nif view add an eyepatch?

 

[Saketh]

Can you nif view add an eyepatch?

Unfortunately not, because no other LH has an eyepatch that I can use.

I could create an eyepatch and then add it from NifSkope, but that wouldn't be worth the effort.

Does it need the strap?

 

[woodelf]

Since I don't know how hard this could be I decided to make a simple eyepatch with no strap. It's black, but should do the job.

Let me know if it works and if so if you need anything else for him. Arrrrr.

If I needed a strap, I could paint it on his head.

Thanks for the patch - I'll see how it works.

 

[Saketh]

The eyepatch works well.



woodelf, if you could make a parrot, that would be nice. I can scale it properly, so that's not a problem.

Now if only I could add Ragnar's background, and get some more snarling in the animations...Frederick's animations are too happy for a pirate.

 

[woodelf]

Aarrrr, that be cool matey!

I'm not sure how well I can make a parrot, but I'll give it a whirl today hopefully.

 

[Edgecrusher]

For what its worth, I thought it looked really good w/out the parrot. I dont really think it would need it.

 

[woodelf]

Now you can have either or since here's the ugliest parrot known to man. For about 5 times the polys he looked good after mesh smoothing, but this is relatively low and blocky. The skin job is somewhat rushed, but he shouldn't get too many close ups.

 

[Edgecrusher]

Im trying to think of who the LH look slike (maybe someone from Netherlands or Portugal).

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

How about Stalin's movements....it might make him look a "bit shifty" .

 

[Edgecrusher]

With all the leaderheads Ive seen "in production". I have to say I am pretty impressed with the quality that has come out.

Hitler
Sobieski
Casimir
Hirohito
Hammerabi
Pasha

I only wish I had the creative and nimble digital paintbrush to do something. My skills are simply organization, cataloging, etc...

For the background you only need a 3d picture of a ship that you can put as background.

Somethibg like this.

But the Ragnar ship moves!

Did the mangy parrot work?

Did the mangy parrot work?

It worked, but since it's not animated the LH animations make it look like a wooden prop. So I decided not to use it....although it's a great parrot.
