Igor's LeaderHeads

[Ekmek]

Ok, IgorS. Give him a whirl.

He is completely re-rigged (Justinian doesnt work for him any more). His head and hands are shaded. The hat and moustache UVs have been remapped and I did some retexturing. I threw in another bg - so far we dont need the BG animation but I left it there just in case. But maybe build one out of bolivar or San Martin Latin bgs might be cool.

basically if you look at the files (included the modular xmls updated from my old one). I pretty much optimized his art files and configured everything so it'll be hard to figure out who I rigged him too

but test him out and see if there are any animation errors, etc. Of course rerigging is a new art so I cant promise I can fix it, but so far I think he looks pretty good.

 

[IgorS]

He looks surprised. Maybe he's surprised we made him look so cool! I'll test him later today and see what other improvements I can make. Get ready to replace you old Henrique with the new one!

 

[IgorS]

I have tested him. The only issue I found was that when he blinks his eyes don't close. Other than that- no complaints. Whose animations are these?

 

[Ekmek]

don't close at all or not all the way?

 

[Ekmek]

BTW, I added shaders (just by doing what I posted in capo's thread) to your vasa. let me know if the shaders make the texture look better.

Thanks, I'll check it out later. Henry's eyes close to about 1/3 of the eye when he blinks. It is a quick animation, but you do notice it if you just stare at him for a while.

Great work on the Henry LH! I'm looking forward to seeing your in-progress Vercingetorix. I haven't been too pleased with the current choices.

Maybe some screenies of the WIP Verc when you have a moment?

Cheers,

Sorry, but there will be no previews of Vercingetorix. I don't really want to show you something I didn't retexture, and once I retexture it it will be ready for release. I hope it'll be ready soon. I have a cool idea for his helmet, so this is what I'll be working on now.

 

[IgorS]

Ekmek, thanks for the help with Gustav Vasa, but there is a problem.
In the image you can see that the beard is dark in the corners, which makes it look normal, and not like Gustav Vasa's "square" beard.

 

[Ekmek]

ok. the shading looks better though. I think it can be fixed by separating the beard from the head.

 

[Ekmek]

ok, try this one

 

[IgorS]

What do we do with Henry? Do you want me to upload it? I'm pleased with what we have.
Vasa works, thanks!

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

Now what will we do with the old Henry?

 

[IgorS]

Now what will we do with the old Henry?

Use it as a Churchill in a huge hat LH?

up to you. its your LH!

Vasa works, thanks!

great. looks like the shaders take out lot of the texture work.

 

[The_J]

Great work on the Henry LH!

Agree .

 

[IgorS]

up to you. its your LH!

OK, I'll release him!

 

[IgorS]

People, an announcement!
Today I am updating my LHs! All the LHs I made will be re-uploaded later today with minor or even major fixes!
Here's a preview of my new Brian Boru LH. More to come later today!

 

[Ekmek]

wow. really cool!

 

[IgorS]

wow. really cool!

Well, actually it is all thanks to you- showing us how to add shaders. I wish we knew how to do it earlier.
