[LH] Adenauer

[Refar]

Konrad Adenauer
A shaded leaderhead for the german councellor Adenauer. He was the first Chancellor of West Germany after WWII.

Ver. 1.1 from 27.04.2008 - Overdone the texture to make his face look older and less pink'ish. (Nif's are updated as well because of uvw adjustment). File updated in the Database.

Not 100% satisfied with the results so far

What do you want more?
It's a really unique and wonderful modern LH !!!

Great, really great. I wasn't really hoping, someone would pick up my request.

May I make some suggestion, allthough I can't really help? Most important thing: Can you make his head a little bit more broadly? I think the shape of his head is a little bit too long at the moment. Another suggestion: Is it possible to bow his head a little bit? Your LH has a little bit too pronounced chin for Adenauer. If you bow his head you won't see it this clear.

Finally two suggestion for the texture: I would make his eyes a little bit darker. Adenauer had more dark grey eyes than blue one. And would it be possible to make him some decent age marks on the forehead?

Anyhow, I like the LH much. I would use him instandly, if he wouldn't be in work.

WORK IN PROGRESS

Working on a new Leaderhead for Adenauer. The similarity is not too striking, so he might go as just a "Generic Modern Politician" in the end. Not 100% satisfied with the results so far, so i decided to post a WIP to see if some useful ideas come along.

Really nice job ! I would only change a bit the hair line (I mean, where the hair begin) to something less straight and more curved.

Also, maybe a grey suit texture would be nice, it will look more different like this.

I especially like the black suit, because on the most pictures I saw Adenauer is wearing a black one. See pics linked further up. Only the tie is different.

The chin-lips interval is clearly less in the RL Adenauer. And I agree Hair implantation is a bit different.
Great LH to start with ! thanks !

Hairline and Chin are easy and worth a try.

A wider head would be nice... but this would require ro re-export the eyes. I worry it might loose the rig to the Eye-Traget (The pupils become static).
Have someone edited/re-exported eyes before ?

Or is is possible to do a non-uniform scale in NifScope ?

Don't think it is possible viwth scope, but it is with the viewer.

This guy looks really good! The last few LHs in progress posted on the board look amazing! Mussolini and this guy both look great.

 

[KrugerPritz]

Wow. I Enjoy modern new original LH! good Work!

 

[Wyz_sub10]

I think it looks sharp. I'd love to add it when it's done. A modern leader for Germany would be excellent.

 

[Refar]

I will call him done now.
Link to the Database and Picture in the first post.

Made the head a bit wider, changed the hairline and pushed the chin up a little bit.

hipyiaeee!!!! I've just downloaded it!!!

 

[mourndraken]

He looks great ! Take a bow !
I'm sure that when yer in the mood,
you may make the texture look more wrinckly.
We definately need more LH who were not murderous.
That's cool, I can't really see who he was in the beginning.

 

[Amra]

Great job Refar.
He looks very unique.

 

[JustATourist]

Wow, great. I will start to write some diplo texts for him right now.

 

[Ekmek]

excellent job!

I'm trying to make a mod adding only the new leaders for existing civs. I tried to add this guy and am a bit lost. The XML files I've added Adenauer to are:

Civ4LeaderheadInfos.xml
Civ4CivilizationInfos.xml
Civ4ArtDefines_Leaderhead.xml

I've miss-spelt his name as "Adanauer", but it is exactly the same in every file so it should be ok then right?
And the art define is the same structure as the one you've posted. Also it seems like the download has more files nif and kfm files than is necessary. Where do I put these? I would use a tutorial, but the only Leaderhead tutorial describe how to make them; and the "add a civ" tutorial describe how to add static LHs only.

Thanks in advance for any help...

File Updated
I updated the file with a new texture, making his face look less pink'ish and somewhat older. The preview picture in the first post and the file in the database are updated.

Also it seems like the download has more files nif and kfm files than is necessary. Where do I put these?

There are only the files that are actually needed in the download. So perhaps it's your problem All the stuff should stay in one folder.

The files you listed/edited are the right ones. The identifier tags in the XML (LEADER_ADENAUER or whatever) can be what you want - a misspelling there is not a problem - as long as you stay consistent in all files.

I guess you problem is a typo or something - most likely in the art defines - if you misspelled his name in the folder name as well ? Like calling the folder "Adanauer" while using my art-define which does point to "Adenauer" ?
