[BtS] Polynesia mod for Varietas Delectat

[Edgecrusher]

Really digging this Polynesian civ.

Just FYI, at some point I am going to be making UNW, for the non-standard civs. Polynesia is on the list.

I was going to (for obvious reasons) give them the Moai Statues as the UNW, replacing the national wonder formally known as the Moai Statues, just have to come up with a benefit, and rename the BTS Wonder.

Glad you like it, Edgecrusher!

UNW is great, I'm thinking on including it when I make a new version of Quot Capita modpack, if you permit of course!

Leafy headdress coming right up!

Leafy headdress coming right up!

That's really cool!

How's this?



If you like it, I'll upload it later on.

I like it VERY much!!!
If it's not too much, I was thinking about that it might look a bit better if the top of her head (hair) would be visible. Now I know that the original model has a short/flat top, but could you please give it a go? But please save this version too, if my suggestion would look awkward...
What do you think?

 

[Edgecrusher]

Thats a really cool looking LH. Excellent Job NikNak!

I like it, but it seems that the headdress blends right into the background. Maybe it should be a different color, or a different background should be used?

Cheers,

I can try moving it down for sure. I was actually planning to do that but I ran out of time before I left the house this morning. As for the texture, it's just one leaf that's repeated over and over again (I used the model of Genghis' fur, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out) so darkening it or changing the colour wouldn't be too hard. However, I think if we could find a good beachy-type background, it could stay as it is

Thanks for all the comments, guys!

No, no, no, I like it where it is now, but could you just give some 'added' hairpatch to the top?

 

[NikNaks]

I guess I could try that, but I don't fancy my chances of getting it to look good.

Since I am going to be added Polynesia to my upcoming mod I wouldn't mind adding this one to the list of LHs to improve upon. I think a few things could make this LH much better. Either a background change or a head-dress change (because it does blend in). Is there a way to make the head-dress colorful? Like it is made of flowers? That might make it look better.

But yeah, since I am going to make Polynesia for my mod, after I finish up this latest round of modules (I'm halfway finished, three out of six) I am going to make a bunch of LHs. So I'll just tack this one on to the list.

EDIT: Could you post the file for me?

 

[The Capo]

Actually, I have another idea that may not require changing the head-dress at all. Why not try swapping the backgrounds of the Kamehameha and Salamasina LHs?

If it's too much work/you're not satisfied with the result, you could just post the version you have! It's already excellent!

Well, I've moved it down and forward a touch (you can see clipping on the original screenshot because of it being too far back) and I think it looks fine Will upload tomorrow. I'm far, far too tired to do it now.

Good news!
Take a rest, NikNaks!

Find attached Haven't had time to take and save a screenshot, so if you could do that, that'd be great. Oh, you'll need the original files from the Salamasina LH as well as these (let these overwrite the original).

 

[avain]

Thank you! It's really excellent, it improved the 'Samoan' feeling!

Here's a screenshot:

Salamasina was Samoan, not Hawaiian.

Yes, yes, sorry, my bad
