@Valkrionn: I'm not an artist, but maybe this model (screenshort from Rise of Mankind) would be a better base for your camel rider line? Your current "camel" looks kind of strange.

if i see correct, it´s the same camel mesh, unfortunally it´s only an archer model so there is no fight animation with "knight" weapons (the reason for the model) and to double the trouble, the camel is not really friendly rigged to perform a bone transplant to a horse based nif to use one of the existing animations ... [at least i found none, you see an perhaps acceptable result - in game (not pedia) it looks almost ok - - with both eyes closed]

 

[Jean Elcard]

It's definitely not! the same camel, but you are right, it's probably difficult to transform an mounted archer unit into a mounted melee unit.

 

[The_Coyote]

i could swear that it looks 100% identical to the camel i had before i copied it from the camelarcher.nif to the Charlemagne_LightCavalry.nif and it was deformed because of the different bone structure (ok it was a bit more deformed right after the copy).

@Valkrionn
to you have an idea what kind of rider you want? Just as info in case i have time again and want to make a real camelknight

 

[Jean Elcard]

Ah, now it makes sense. I didn't know, you were only speaking about the camel's texture.

Basically, all I want is a more advanced looking camel rider, so I can have him replace the Knight. The original is actually pretty good seeing as the model was for an archer, not a melee unit. Looks perfectly alright in game.

Can we please see Govannon?

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

I second that.

 

[megamanx06]

i was just coming here to ask that

edit: i've checked the website every day for the past few days hoping that i could get the new Govannon unit... whens the next patch due?

 

[Chandrasekhar]

Excellent work on the new Govannon model I like the new blood splatter effects too

Oh, the great masters of pixelwork, please, tell, is there any chance, that there would be new art and models for Illians Knights and Chariots? The current versions look slightly... well... unfitted to icy terain

 

[thomas.berubeg]

OOOH! as Illian Chariots, maybe Dog sleds? would be pretty cool.

 

[megamanx06]

i love govanon! Although, if it wouldn't be too much trouble... could you put his arms down? It makes my arms sore just looking at him hold them in the same position for years on end...

Someone post a screeny of govannon! I'm in the middle of a game and don't want to update it yet! Ironically as the amurites...

nope!
I wanted him to look like on the picture and it is my first custom animation, so... you will have to live with it (try walking north, then you will only see his cape )

 

[mahazel]

Could you change battle animation for Baron? he looks like he is fighting with a sword in his hands, but he don`t have a sword...

He looks as he does in his picture. I think seZereth did a great job on him
