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

[The Capo]

You can see a little more definition this way, and you can make out the Cuirass a lot better (although it will look really good with the final texturing), I changed the mustache to Mehmed's (it will be reskinned of course), but this is basically the FINAL mock-up (so from here I'll start rigging things and getting everything set up for the final product). Any last suggestions or ideas?

Everytime I see these blender previews I can't help but think that someone is getting carried away with acupuncture

Looks fantastic! Good work, as always
Which 4 will be included in the next LH pack?
I suppose him and von Salsa will be there. Maybe Lalibela and Cartimandua? Or the Polynesians?

Von Salza will not be released as an LH. You'll have to DL the module pack to get him. Cartimandua is being postponed indefinitely because I can't get her to work right, so I might have to start from scratch and I don't want to delay my mod (I made Vercingetorix to replace her) more than I already have. The next set will, most likely, include Maurits van Nassau, Lalibela, Kamehameha and a yet-to-be-named Hittite leader.

EDIT: Although I was just planning on releasing these next ones as I finish them rather than in groups of four.

Why? Because he's a reskin of Robert the Bruce?

Well he's not just a reskin, but yeah because he's mostly a reskin of Robert the Bruce and I'm just not releasing him individually. It's a lame attempt to get more people to download my mod and module pack.

Anyway, here is what I have for Maurits van Nassau. Obviously I am going to reskin the out of this LH. I am a little unsure about exactly what colors or patterns to use, so the texturing might take me a while to figure out. If anyone has any suggestions (and try to be specific) that would be helpful. I made two versions, one with a sash and one without a sash.

 

[IgorS]

I think the beard should be a little longer. The cuirass should be golden and the clothes- black or dark blue. This is my opinion.

 

[The Capo]

If I make the beard any longer (which I actually have already done) it wil clip with the collar. Anyway here is an in-game shot. One issue isn't so bad, you can't really see the feather because the background I chose is too white (I think Igor provided this one at some point) and the other issue is that for some reason when I shader the mustache it shows up red. I'm not entirely sure what the reason for this could be. All of the proper files are there, and everything was done correctly (I checked twice), but it looks just as fine without shaders on the mustache anyway so I guess I can just remove them. Other than that there is one issue where there is some strange clipping right above the chin, which shouldn't be happening because I didn't edit or add anything in that area, although I'm quite sure I can fix it. If anyone can find a good background or come up with a good idea (preferably one where the feather is noticeable) that would be great.

Try noshader the mustache. When it is work, that is shader problem. When not, it is material problem. Did you tried ever SceneViewer? Maybe that helps. I can't use SceneViewer, because I've got Radeon Graphic Card, and it is only compatible vith Nvidia.

Yeah, I'll get that figured out. I mainly need a background image, or an idea for one, or something like that. I might be able to use the Dutch King's (from Colonization, not the CFC member) background, what do you think of that?

 

[Nitram15]

Yes, that maybe a good idea.

 

[The Capo]

Alright, although I liked the last BG a lot this one brings out the feather much better and I think makes the whole LH look a bit better. This is basically the finished version of Maurits, I wanted to maybe change the textyring a little bit on the cuirass, and then I have to fix this small issue I have circled (I suppose that is the teeth clipping from underneath the skin there, I'm not really sure how that happened, but I can probably fix it pretty easily). This is the last preview I'll put out, I hope to have this LH updated either tonight or tomorrow.

 

[Ekmek]

yeah if its the teeth it might be from reshaping the chin (if you did that) just pull them back a bit

 

[cybrxkhan]

Yarrrrrrr

I didn't do that, as far as I am aware, but I suppose I could have accidentally done it somehow. Anyway I don't think it will be a difficult fix.

@ cybrxkhan: is that supposed to mean you think hel ooks like a pirate? I guess he could pass for a pirate.

 

[AbsintheRed]

Awesomeness

 

[cybrxkhan]

Actually, I dunno why I said that in particular. I guess he could pass off as a pirate.

 

[IgorS]

Actually, this was the BG I suggested:

Maurits van Nassau (v1) is posted to the DB. There is a link on the first page here.

Nassau looks sweet! He looks like the kind of guy who has employees who call him "daddy"
