The Capo's LH Gallery and Self-Help Thread!

The Capo said:
Jesus, that's crazy. Well, it'll have to wait a while then because I'm still not ready to start making LHs again and if this requires all this work I'd rather finish up what I have left to do for my mod before getting back into LH making. I have so much to learn, so I'd rather just focus on one thing at a time.

Unless Ekmek is willing to help.
 
Ekmek, re-rigging should be the next thing you teach people how to do!
 
re-rigging is merely reassign body parts to different bones. skeleton swapping and animation editing are different things. I intend to add a guide for that. it'll be advanced LH making though, for those that pretty much know my guide now and can fix their own troubleshooting issues so far. Animation and skeleton work is pretty time consuming (as you can see by lower output)
 
Well, after I get my mod ready for the next playtest I am probably going to take a week or two off of working on it to re-learn everything and then learn how to shaderize and make my own animations. So I'm going back into LH-making bootcamp again and I'll probably blow up Ekmek's thread like I did when I made Gustav Adolph, except this time I'll know more and it will be a different LH people can see being created. I hope this will be helpful, not only to myself, but to other LH-makers especially certain new ones who decide not to accept my advice. :mischief:

So if anyone is reading this sometime next week you'll be able to follow along with the Capo step by step (and if Ekmek remembers how annoying I was last time he can assure you it is literally step by step) how to do all of this stuff and hopefully make your own LHs: I'm talking to you guy-who-requested-a-Rammstein-guitarist-for-some-reason.
 
Gotta ask again for Dido, since you said you'd put it on your todo list. Also it's one of most popular LHs used in mods, and really needs a work up to fit it's popularity.

Also achilleszero has disapeared, and I don't know what I should do with LoR now :(

I'm going to have to disappoint you for a while, I don't have Blender working right now and I'm backed up on stuff for my mod at the moment, I'll get around to it but it probably won't be for another week or two and even that is a pretty bad estimate. I'll do it, but for now it isn't on the short list.

animaion would be one way but rerigging might be easier

Wouldn't skeleton swapping be easier than re-rigging it?

I think we need to change his skeleton, so he will work with other animations. Only Ekmek knows how to do this.

If I understand what skeleton swapping is, its not that hard to do. I recently took Stalin and swapped his skeleton with Napoleons. Animations work great, but the hands come out a little distorted.


Speaking of which, I got that texture error on him where the sash is just black. I know its some kind of error with the shader (and i've fixed it before), but I can't remember how to fix it.

Are you talking about Askia? He shouldn't have a sash.

it sounds like you do - a nifswap that occasionally requires you to rename bones that don't appear on the other skeleton. But for the hand problem its usually best to separate the hands off both models and keep the originals with the original skeleton. its the easiest way to get them to line up. Besides how different can hands be?
 
Ekmek, what if we disable Askia's hands? You did it with your old LHs (like the old Henry). How do I do that?

I want to help you with your Mouris van Nassau. Haw I can help you?

There isn't really much you can do, I am in the process of getting Blender to work properly, at which point I'll finish the LH. I already have the concept and all of the models ready to go, so it is just a matter of putting it together.
 
Maurits Van Nassau is going to wait a bit while I work on another LH I have been meaning to finish for a while. I'll probably release both at the same time though. I am currently working on Cartimandua for the Celts. I should have some preview shots in the next couple of days. :goodjob:

EDIT: Besides, I haven't made a female LH yet, except for Salamasina but she isn't finished and was never released.

And wasn't really your LH, you just improved on a LH that was already made.

Did I Igor? Did I?

What they tried to do for Salamsina was a :):):):)ing joke!

If you want to push me, I'll be pushed.....

Keep in mind though; I'll push back...

EDIT: MAN OH MAN... I'LL SHOW YOU SOMETHING....
 
:):):):) man, you think I can't do better than that?

I don't know what to say. Well, I do know what to say, I don't want to piss off a bunch of newbies though. I could talk a mess of :):):):) right now, but I'll let my work do the talking....

Don't forget, it wasn't that long ago....
