Civilization Preview: Burma

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Seeing how Shiro is a busy guy I thought I'd try to help with our mod so I have here an attempt at my second leaderhead: A burmese king of no name as of yet. Suggestions for the different eras would be welcome.

No comments?

To be honest, I can't tell if it's a man or a woman.

woud a crown more like this suit? http://www.trachtenberg.org/IMG431.jpg
it'd be less chunky too.

 

[ShiroKobbure]

he doesnt look Burmese, his crown doesnt look real.
And he looks too real to fit in with the Civ3 leaderheads. Alot of people like M3 because he looks "realer" but Civ3 heads dont, they are a little more cartoon, M2 I think, is best for that.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I don't have the full version of M2 or M3, I only use James, and I don't have any props that would fit the proper crown for this guy. So I don't have much of a choice but to do it this way.

 

[ShiroKobbure]

well, if it doesnt look good, then find another way to do it. Dont just release something bad, because you only do it that way.

Sword, buddy? Its horrible. Shiro is 100 % right.

I think that resizing and then combining the sphere primitives was a very creative solution to creating the crown. But, like the others said, it just doesn't work, I'm afraid.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Yeah.........But I do have a plan B....

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Is this any better:

 

[ShiroKobbure]

yes, but change the materials.
For gold, I usually use the gold texture from Kinboats pharoh's helmet.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

WHat projects are you working on Shiro? Just curious, and btw, thanks for the tip, I would have never thought of that myself....

 

[ShiroKobbure]

some samurai units, Joseon units, redo my hwarang, and some UUs for Nubia, Phoenicia, and Sheba (Yemen)

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

How is this:

Are you working on stuff for our mod basically? Sounds like it Cool. Yemen? Is there anything unique in that area?

Like the helmet, but he looks like he's constipated, .

 

[Red Door]

Like the helmet, but he looks like he's constipated, .

So does Genghis Khan.

 

[Stormrage]

Well, I never liked old Genghis

To be honest I don't think it's very good, but I do think it has potential if you keep working on it. Here are my suggestions:

Find a new, less pixialted backgound pic.
Raise him, it looks like he's sitting down. (The first pic had him in a good position)
Get rid of the big dot on top of the crown/helmet.
Make him bigger, the normal civ heads are not so small.

 

[TopGun]

My two cents: I see alot of potential here, but IMO, the face should look more cartoonish in order to fit in with all the other LH's we have (both Fireaxis' and custom-mades, such as RXFXT's, Shiro's, Civarmy's, Jorde's, etc.
