[LH] Sviatoslav I of Kiev

[GarretSidzaka]

this one was requested by PSYX

i took hannibal and ragnar and combined their models and reskinned hannibal with new armor.

i hope this one finds a good home in your mod brotha, and anyone else's, just give me due credit

Man you are good!

I'm not sure that I care about including Kiev, but this guy should be able to find a place in several other positions. Do you take requests?

 

[GarretSidzaka]

i get freaking swamped with stuff to do, but i occasionally fill a request to people. just depends on how much work im doing on my mod, or what my family has going on. give me some break time before you PM me any req's

 

[Vrenir]

Sure thing. It'll be a while before we (Hand of History) need anything in the way of leaderhead artwork anyway. I'm just on the lookout for what we will eventually need.

Nice work Garret. He looks terrific.

 

[hrochland]

He will be good leader, I think very good work, Garret

 

[GarretSidzaka]

yeah, and a tip is: alot of warlords leaders have 2 separate objects for the body in the nif file. so when you use the nifskope method, you have to copy two or more branches (for those who know what im talking about)

the good thing is, remember that specularity thing with shiny face leaders, well with the multiple objects, i set the "gold armor" to stay specular, and i made the one that had his skin in it have zero specularity, giving it some nice effects.

Looks wonderful and very interesting how you mixed the leaderheads

@PSYX
you're welcome! im glad to see so many making russian-language mods!!

@sepamu92
yeah, i've been wanting to try this technique for a while with napoleon medals, but i never implemented coz it was so minor. but with hannibal's silly "bowl helmet" removed and ragnars cools helmet, i just went ahead and did it

 

[GuitarHero]

It looks very good. Would he count as a Russian or a Viking?

 

[GarretSidzaka]

im pretty sure he is an early russian

 

[Pangur Bán]

First High King of the Rus' to have a Slavic name.

 

[strategyonly]

You shaved your beard, oh wait thats not you,

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

oh my, thats the best leaderhead ive seen on these forums in a while. he looks totally like he came straight from firaxis (and looks neither like Hanibul or Ragnar)

 

[GarretSidzaka]

thanks bro that complement means alot to me

 

[Ekmek]

Garret,

Any chance you can write up a tutorial about how to add parts from one leader to another? I'm still in the beginning phase of trying to do my own leaderheads and haven't figured this out.

thanks,

 

[GarretSidzaka]

well, there is already a leaderhead tut out that i look back on all the time by C.Roland

then you just use the nifviewer to put to two separate exports together

 

[ambrox62]

I grabbed your excellent LH putting it in TAM as Arminius (also giving it Genghis Khan animation)
