I've taken an active part in the Native America mod, creating seven of the thirteen brand new 3D single-era animated leaderheads that are available in it.

I decided to make Cacique Cunhambebe of the Tupi era-specific. You'll notice (if you choose to download it) that it has full 3D animation, including blinking in the right places!!

This leaderhead, IMHO, has potential, with the right background and props/clothing to be an African leaderhead, so expect to see Cunhambebe's twin brother in an upcoming mod due out later this year ;) !!

PCXs. Please note that there are two sets of bubbleheads here. CU_all is to be used if you want to have an era-specific bubblehead pcx. It occured to me that some people might want to use just the ancient era in a scenario or conquest. Tupi_all has the bubbleheads displaying the ancient era graphics only.

Thanks for the comments. I won't be amending it in any way - it would mean about 2 hours work to re-do the animation and pcxs, 4 hours to render and about half-an-hour at least to upload the changes.
 
Wow.... I was just going to ask you at the NA thread what happened to this LH you promised for today.... But I must tell you I'm amazed by its quality! It kinda reminds me of the Tupi guy at Colonization (just without that afro)..

In fact, I think it could be a good idea for you to make some more NA leaderheads based on the characters of Colonization...
 
I just think that an indian should have red skin. He seems to be black. I think that you should put him a new color. It may be the same color in the guy of your avatar.

It's just my opinion :).
 
One little suggestion -- you might want to increase the contrast of the skin, as the expressions are a little difficult to tell. Also, try lightening the background to contrast the face (similar to Shaka's light backgrounds).
 
Thanks for the comments guys :) .

I agree that for the Tupi that he should have lighter skin and I'll look at lightening the background when I do him as an African leader. If I'm being honest, I originally intended him to be African, and was working on the NA mod, and thought that I might as well use an animated leaderhead instead of a static one.

This is my first go at doing a full leaderhead; I only started last week using Poser, so I'm sure I'll improve ;) . I'm glad people like it :D .
 
Good thing you didn't make him very masculine, I think I can pass him off as MoM's Sharee, who is female. :lol: Maybe she just has a manly face.

Edit: didn't use him after all. Looks too much like a man after all.

Good work!
 
Nice work.

Welcome to the Leaderhead Maker World
Brace yourself for loads of PMs requesting specific leaderheads. :suicide:

is there a preview of any of the other leaderheads in your mod ???

Yes there is in the Native America thread - but to save you finding them, here's the other six that I did (all single era in the mod):
