Egyptian unit start

[LouLong]

HOT BRAND NEW
Files finished, bps turning them into Civ3 FLCs, check third page for more info.


I tried to create a simple Egyptian spearman using Kinboat's model (PSP7, animationshop 3 demos).
If you like it, thank Kinboat because his job was the most important one (creating the body). If you do not like it, he is not responsible for what I did with it.

Default view:



Edit :
Complete attack now showing page 2
Complete Fortify now showing page 2
Death preview now showing page 2
Unit mirrored (thanx Kryten) into a right-handed one.

Recommended stats page 2.

Yes, keep working on it. The more flavor units the better.

Sure but Kal-El tell me there is an easier way than to do all frames one by one ?
Please ????

Yes there is - use 3D software. Otherwise it's copy'n'paste... and no, you can't import 2D graphics (like Civ3 flc units) into 3D, but you can import ready 3D models, ie. from 3D Cafe (check "3D models for aspiring creators" thread).

I assume you saw my tutorial?

the Rhino demo has no animation capabilities AFAIK.

The full version has unlimited undo/redo capabilities which could be used in animation.

Actually I hoped more for copy and paste but I cannot find an easy way of doing it. I have been through many tutorials but might have overlloked this one.
Basically I hoped I could import flics into a program where I could change a few things like helmets, colors,...
Is there an EASY way ? Have I missed something. Is it impossible ?

EDIT : don't bother with so dumb a question. I found a way (or at least I think so ).

I did, though it seems I misunderstood the possibilities.
BTW I got Rhino 3 eval.
What means AFAIK ?
I won't get the full version for sure.

 

[Neomega]

nor will I.

As Far As I Know.

 

[LouLong]

Well, this should be the default animation.

I don't suppose you could change him to look more like this? Just a suggestion...

Wao, looks 3D. I am sure someone could make a nice unit with your picture. But even though my own unit is definitely not so good, I have done too much on it to change it now (25 frames). I guess this will be my only unit. The shield especially is a pb.
The black spot was supposed to be a view-hole but I could not make it.

 

[Yoda Power]

Nice

 

[gael]

Lookin good.
We need more varations on the standard spearman.

 

[LouLong]

Thanks for the encouragements. It probably just means you are dying for new units, eh !

Anyway I have got another dumb question.

How do you define the civ-colored part(s) of the unit ?
Special color or what ?

 

[Neomega]

Fliicster thread..... you saw it in the fliiicster thread. I want a ham sandwich.

Attack

 

[zulu9812]

A bit jerky, and a little slow, but a nice concept for attack (both shield + spear moving forward)

 

[Yoda Power]

Nice, maybe add some more frames.

I guess it will remain jerky since I am doing all by hand (except for the body of course) and that I am no artist.
Just my little contribution to units creation. Won't be beautiful but someone might find it useful until something better comes along...

I cannot since I am using predefined human frames (from Kinboat).

BTW sorry about the scenario delay but I am trying to use my trial time with these softwares. I am so crap I'll let it go soon though
