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

@ IgorS

for older Leaderhead there is IMO no way to shader them without Blender - the older scripts simply didn´t created the needed information, but you have (if there are no problems, like with the pharao) only to import them in Blender and export them again and afterwards to do the steps from Nitrams tutorial (the steps Ekmek described in his tutorial are an alternative option).

In most cases you should be able to import and export the leaderheads, if not post which one makes trouble and if i (or hopeful also somebody else) has time will take a look what causes the error

Edit: slowly not sure with 'in most cases' - Dusan has the same problem like the pharao

I am not offering to do it right now or anything, but I am much better at making LHs now than I was when I made a lot of those old LHs, so that is partially why I don't think they should be shadered; I could always make a new one.

Anyway, since Charle88's Coronado already dons that "Conquistador Helmet" (is there a better name for it?) I figured I'd try to do something a little different with Maurits van Nassau. I made this hat from Frontenac's hat, do you think this is better or should I go with the helmet? He is going to be wearing military stuff rather than just regular clothing because he will be a militaristic leader for Netherlands in my mod so that aspect will not be debated.

EDIT: By military clothing what I mean is he'll have on a cuirass.

 

[The_Coyote]

needed two dirty hacks for this one - dusan imported and reexported from Blender, already nifswapped, waiting for the last steps done to be shadered

 

[IgorS]

Could you make his cuirass golden like here?

Now, the hats:
1.

2.

3.

I don't know how you do this, but thanks. I'll try shadering this one (if you won't beat me to it).

 

[The Capo]

Alright, I guess I'll change his hat to the last one. But his Cuirass isn't going to look exactly like that because, frankly, I'm not sure I can make that.

 

[AbsintheRed]

Since we got a new Henrique, there is no leader with that big hat
So I think it would be really cool!

EDIT: I just saw the recent posts.
Still, my opinion is the same!

EDIT2: Alright, the new Henrique's hat is still bigger.
But my opinion did not change

 

[The Capo]

I might still use the hat, we'll see. It is a little difficult to transform to the exact way I wanted it to look, but Igor's suggestion is just as good. Now, I just want to say that this LH is not going to look exactly like any paintings of Maurits. It will be close but not exact. He won't be wearing something that looks just like one of his paintings, basically because there aren't any clothes that look like that, and I don't want to spend a long time working on this LH (remember these are for a mod, and I have deadlines), so I am going to be taking a lot of lisence on this. Just letting you guys know.

OK, it's not like he was wearing only the clothes he has on painting. We are allowed to come up with our own ideas.

I was only talking about the colour, not the shape.

 

[The Capo]

Believe me, I completely understand that. I am just imagining what Signor Van Nassau wore when he fought the Spanish (and DEFINITELY some of my relatives, I looked it up) I'm guessing he probably maintained some of his more "flamboyant" affairs, however, he probably "dumbed it down" as we say in the states, to fight a proper rebellion. So that is the emphasis I'll put on this LH. Considering one of my ancestors was a commander against him...

EDIT: And despite my current religous leanings said commander was a staunch defender of the Spanish-Roman-Cathlic faith.

EDIT 2: If you haven't guessed, I have a strange relationship with this LH... and that shall show in it's quality...

 

[The Capo]

I agreed to make this LH long ago... this LH will be amazing, maybe not as good as any of Ekmek's, but it will at least make the Nederlanders happy.

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

Aren't the Nederlanders happy enough with all the weed and whores out there?

 

[Ekmek]

Aren't the Nederlanders happy enough with all the weed and whores out there?

now that came out of nowhere.

Good luck on the leaderhead. it seems the dutch have a female LH that needs to be redone for civgold too.

There are never enough whores and weed.

 

[IgorS]

I guess it is less fun when it's legal.

 

[The Capo]

I decided to go with that last hat that Igor suggested. Here is a small preview of where I am so far. Obviously I am going to retexture everything. The Cuirass uses Augustus Caesar's armor as a base, but I did reform it, and I'll reskin it too obviously.

 

[cybrxkhan]

Yo ho ho, now that's a nice LH.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

That is nice.

Speaking of Van der Donck (the base dude) I wish someone would do an improved Van der Donck though, one more historically accurate.
