Ekmek's Civ4 Leaderhead Gallery

I attached a RAR file that has all the Civ5 Leader backgrounds in jpeg format. I modified the xml so the leader model wouldnt show and just have the BG. This should add some nice BGs.

FYI - I have dibs on Egypt, China, and Rome to update three of my leaderheads ;)

Sounds great!
 
I'm also curious how will the Civ V Theodore look like
This mean you plan to base your version on that one?

Depends what the Civ5 one looks like. If its good, and think Civ5 has done a decent job on making realistic LHs, then I'll base it off of that.

My other issue with the theodora I was doing was trying to get it to use a colonization King animation and it was a pain to get it lined up and rigged right.

Also do you still work on Bhutto, or it's rigging was way too messed up?

I've had decent amount of luck on the rigging and getting it back on the skeleton. When I run an animation it looks like the lips are a little off so I'm looking at that. I also plan to do the full texture optimizing work (baking it on one dds and building the shading textiures) plus make the greeting animation a little more unique. With luck I should have it done next friday.
 
WIP


Bhutto is rigged and playable. Texture baked. Still need to:

1) fix clipping issues
2) make new normal, spec, etc. dds files (includes fixing the glowing white)
3) make unique greeting animation

Bhutto textures baked and fixed the white head scarf.

most clipping looks fixed

need to fix the bicep rigging it seems "muscular"

then add a hand gesture to the greeting animation.

What color should the glass lens be? clear? blue? green?

Blue's got my vote.
 
I think the glass lens should be clear, unless you want to do that strange fade thingy that was popular back in the day.

And if everything goes well I should be back in business tomorrow... but it is me, so it probably won't. Which means like, a week... or something.
 
Should i make my attila more like the upcoming civ5 one?

Maybe elements of it, like adding some fur or something, but other than that I'd leave it as-is. Not to mention that he'd look a lot like Arpad once I get around to finishing it... :crazyeye:

I was thinking of adding the fur collars or changing the shirt from chainmail to an actual shirt. I like the forearms though, but I like my helmet better.
 
Any news on the LHs you recently worked on?
IIRC you said Bhutto is almost ready, not sure what's up with Theo and your Attila
(or with one of your earlier planned LHs)
 
Bhutto is focus. i fixed some bugs this weekend, including the bicep bulge. there is one with the furious animation I have to fix. In al reality its pretty much playable but I want to fix those and add a custom greeting. But I am working it. Theo on backburner because I want to see civ5's Theo.
 
And what's the status on your new Pope?
I remember you said you had some serious issues with him
You gave up that LH in the end?
