Ekmek's Civ4 Leaderhead Gallery

[Ekmek]

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?

I pretty much gave up. I never could get the hat to look right. The othe issue was that the color white was too bright. but I think I found a way to fix that from messing around with Bhutto.

If it counts, I'd also say that you shouldn't alter your Attila according to civ5s version. Civ5 is crap, its Attila is just another example of that.

 

[The Capo]

Not that I disagree with you cool, I was just wondering why it was that you consider Civ5's version of Attila to be crap? We don't really know what Hunnic culture was like, at least as far as things they wore, so I don't know that we can really say either way how good Civ5's Attila is.

 

[cool3a2]

Well, the head is okay, but the body seems to be too ordinary to me, nothing really hunnish. Ekmeks is by far better, although Attila is not the worst thing on civ5, but that's offtopic here.

Can I ask how far did you get?
I remember a screenshot some time ago, which I already really liked

EDIT: found it...

 

[Civciv5]

That LH looks good.
I was just wondering what happened to the hat on the pope...

Maybe the pope can wear a papal tiara?
Something like this:

Spoiler :

You can't see the whole tiara because it's too tall.

[Spillsandstains]

hang on, is that pope joan?

 

[Civciv5]

It is Pope Joan indeed,congratulations.
I will release her today.
Actually if you guess one of my LHs right,then I will release it.
Take a look in my LH gallery and try to guess the ones with a question mark.
Actually I have no plans for future LHs yet,so I'm glad to take requests.

What do you guys think of Civ5's theodora?

[Civciv5]

I think she looks awesome and gorgeous.

 

[The_J]

I don't think you can compare them ^^.

Civ5's version looks sure great.
Why this question ?

Exactly. I was amazed when I saw Civ 5's Theodora. One of the most original approaches to a leader in the game.

I was thinking of updating my theodora to look more like her. But I know my output is incredibly low compared to before.

BTW on Bhutto. I have a game playable one. But there is this nagging issue with her torso I cant fix. I cant tell if its rigging or the model (I tried both).

Guys,

Please test out the attached Bhutto Leaderhead

Guys,

Please test out the attached Bhutto Leaderhead

Okay, got a quick look. Looks good so far, but i have some suggestions.

First, remove the NiAlphaProperty from the face mesh. It isn't needed and causes the glasses-texture to glitch (they are murky). Especially good to see during the greetings animation.

Second, shader the scarf. Now it reflects only the background lighting and is shining blue. Dosen't look good if you shader only some textures and others not. You can see the difference.

Third, the black shawl is clipping adverse. This is a hard one to fix. I always have trouble to make clothing that covers body and arms still work with all animations.

Otherwise i think she is fine, but haven't checked all animations.

 

[AbsintheRed]

Looks really great already!
(of course I don't have the insight of Melcher on LHs)

 

[AbsintheRed]

When do you plan to officially release Bhutto?

 

[orlanth]

Wow, Bhutto looks great Awesome shades, too.

I wish this computer I have didn't suck ass, otherwise I'd download it and check it out. It is pointless though, since a lot of the stuff doesn't work (shaders for example) so, yeah. I am still waiting to get a civ-graphics-worthy computer going over here.

Can your computer handle a GPU upgrade? If it can you can probably buy a cheap GPU for less than $50 and still see a massive difference (half a year ago I upgraded mine with a $30 GPU, i.e. "crap" for "hardcore gamers" (whatever that means), and I can pretty much play every modern game on lowest graphics) and save tons of money. Unless your computer is so terrible it can't even handle a minor GPU upgrade... then I feel for ya.
