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

I see I usually texture in blender by reloading the texture.in edit mode on 2.49 when you move the dots you can see how it distorts the texture so i adjust accordingly.

Not all of us are as good as the master Ekmek...

I have a question though; should I use the Pharos as the background or a different one? The reason I ask is because I am pretty sure the Pharos of Alexandria was not finished during Ptolemy's lifetime.

 

[The Capo]

I'm not sure which Ptolemy to use. I am a bit partial to the first one (with darker hair) but what do you guys think?

 

[The Capo]

I'm having a more difficult time finding bg images than I expected. I'm going to post a few here. This one looks cool except it has that damn lettering accross the middle.

This one is cool too, but its kind of small and may look weird zoomed in.

i have some screenshots from the alexander movie i have on dvd that i have been collecting. i'll post some soon

 

[The Capo]

I like the old Ptolemy idea, and actually considered it, but since he will be a leader for Egypt I want SOMETHING in the BG that indicates he is in Egypt. Or at least some symbology of Egypt involved. Unfortunately I have hit a snag. When I nifswapped the model his eyes are not properly aligned. Now I suppose what I could do is nifswap the eyes as well, but I am wondering if there are going to be problems when I do this? Ekmek this question is for you...

 

[The Capo]

You got that movie to. I just remembered and i thought i could post some screens from it. Anyway, here's one screenshot that might be useful.

Well, I only use a map it will look strange as the rest of the LHs have actual scenes in the background. That's my only problem with that. If the map were posted upon a wall or something in the background that'd be perfect.

here is 512x512 atrium of alexandria bg for you.

forst try nifswapping the eyes. it should work. if not move each eye in nifskope

I threw the model I currently have into the game to see what it would look like, and it isn't bad. There are still a few obvious touch ups I have to make, but I'm pretty happy with it at this point.

I have to change the animations, but I have an issue with that. In the Animation guide the Napoleon row and column are different. In the row there appears to be no animations however in the column there looks to be about three or four. What's up with that? (I don't know how easy it will be to see, but I marked the column and row in blue boxes)

Thank you Ekmek. Don't be offended if I don't wind up using this though.

I got the eye problem solved as you can see from my previous post. I think I still gotta fix the neck and a few more issues with the LH though. I was kind of hoping to get it up tonight, but I am not going to have time anymore.

Maybe the chin shouldn't be so big, and the face a bit fatter, but i'm not sure.
Looks good so far.

Who should I use as a base for Abbas? It may sound strange but I'm thinking either Pacal or Bismarck.

Pacal would be my choice, at least from those two (might have to look at some more LHs to see how I like any of the others as a base).

Edit : yep, Pacal is a good choice

Now I can really believe you will be working on my LH request, thanks

I have decided to work on my civ projects one at a time. I have been working on like four things at once and its getting a bit disorganized. So anyway I'm back on to my third module pack for my mod. Polynesia will be one of the civs and I wanted to remake the Kamehameha and Salamasina LHs for it. I showed a preview of Kamehameha who is nearly finished, and here is a preview of Salamasina in Nifskope.

What do you think? I think its pretty good.

If only I could texture, she'd be a very nice looking LH.

Looks great, though the torso (except for the breasts) and arms seem a tad too dark compared to the rest.

 

[The Capo]

Yeah, that's where knowing how to texture (well) would come in really handy.

I'd help if I could.

Right now I'm trying to learn how to do XML stuff with Civ4. Trying to add Teddy to America. After that, going to learn how to add in a civ from scratch.
Sadly, a lot of the tutorials on the subject seem really out of date.

It is not that hard. If someone like me could figure it out (and I am really not into programming although I study C# and all that bullsh*t now in university- I do it only because I need a first degree and I'm already stuck with this bad choice I made). Anyway, feel free to pm me if you need any help understanding those tutorials.

What do you think? I think its pretty good.

How about extending the torso a bit and make her navel visible?
Imagine that, the first Civ4 leader who shows her navel.

...but why not a bit more...?

Yes, okay, i'm a freak .
