DPII's Unit Previews

Velites is done basically. But much like the other ones I finished rendering, it still has to be compiled into FLICs, which is the task I'm setting myself to today (as much as I hate this part).
 
Well... part of the problem is that people keep firing off suggestions so much that intrigue me, that I find myself volunteering for them... :)

I have a lot of ideas of my own, and so I do a lot of models and then show them off, and so then I have to make them. :lol:

Zeek, first of all, I love the Puss in Boots.

Second of all, if somebody wants to do that part for me, they're welcome to. But it's not necessary.

Thx, that kitty is the best part of the movie! :love:

I thought that part was the part that took the least skill and the longest time to do, so I thought to myself, why not hire some little dwarves to do the work? :D
 
As for example with the interesting worker units you talked about in another thread? ;)

Yes, although that, right now, is not even a series of models yet. Merely an idea that I will sooner or later turn to reality... and then get yelled at for.

Yeah, although, admittedly, I was a little disappointed how quickly he gave up. If you've ever read the Puss and Boots story, you know that he used cunning rather than strength (or swordsmanship) to bring down the enemy. For half the movie, I was sure he was setting him up in some way.

Dwarves would be nice certainly. Maybe I'll get some help. But the Hwarang, I have to do myself... because even with the bright green, it's still a monumental pain in the ass. I've learned the hard way not to drape your unit in civ-specific color.
 
O.M.G.

that rhymed...

Just a little more comment...
You guys are litterally like a "little" company ...
Seriously.. why havent FIRAXIS hired all of you!?

Firaxis seems to view the modding community largely with supreme indifference. My latest cynical thoughts concern whether or not Firaxis will even keep the same graphics standards in Civ4 as Civ3.

Cynically,

I doubt it... They seem to want to make it fully 3D

Well, that's just great... let's take ALL of the creativity out of the game why don't we? :shakehead

How are we supposed to make scenarios if we have to use the graphics they give us?

Besides, I don't like fully 3D games anyway. The models have never been hi-res enough to really impress me. I'd rather go with pre-rendered sprites than 3D... especially for a turn-based game. I mean, in cases like RoN or Empire Earth, I can see the logic behind it, but for Civ, it just seems terribly unnecessary.
 
I thought it would only be the map which would be 3D :(
This is some really bad news, I really like the Civ look, 3D just doesn't look as good as prerendered. (anybody know Odium:Gorky17? it had prerendered backgrounds, and those were BEAUTIFUL)

Would it be harder/equally easy/more easy to make 3D units?
 
Hmm, what if we start a thread in Civ4:discussion/sugg with a poll for 3D or not? Or has that been done already?
 
No idea. I haven't really participated in any of the planning for Civ 4. I basically just decided that Firaxis was going to do whatever the hell they wanted anyway. But you should definitely try to be more proactive if there hasn't been such a thread started already.
