Unit preview: canoe

[god_money]

Nice one Random Observer! Surely could use more variety for the
spot of earliest ship (Curragh).

I agree with an earlier post however, in that there oughtta be
a rower, at least, I can get by without civ colours (as I only
assign one civ per unit), but that's just me. If people are hungry
for civ colours you could use the rower's shirt as the colour, as a
flag or anything else may seem out of place.

My 2cents.

First one is great. If you could it and maybe add an little box in the front where arrows are thrown I would truly appriciate it.

now that needs some clarification, do you mean somewhere where someone could stand and shoot arrows or a place where they are stored or something compleatly different.

Just a fort-like object. Like in Aaglo's Seige Ship, a four walled box with a top. ANd a hole in it (small) just a place to shoot arrows from.

hows this?

 

[Unexisted]

Wow, it's like what you do is what I think.
"Magnificent!"

 

[Random Observer]

Is this going to be a transport unit or an attack/deffence unit?

 

[Random Observer]

Now are you sure you want this to be the paddler/rower...
I think its horrible, armless and the canoe looks better without him. BTW colors and his armless state are temporary

 

[Unexisted]

My requested unit would be a land transport. But with 2-3 defence to avoid mass unit demolition. (right phrasing, right?)

 

[Random Observer]

so it would need an attack anim right? Im just trying to figure out if I need to make one.
Edit:also are you gonna want the useless armless green/blue guy in it?

 

[Unexisted]

Just have arrows shot out of the middle of the shell..

 

[Gogf]

Great ... Just my luck, first vbraun, and now you. Everyone is having the same idea as me! I guess I need to pick something else, as you're already pretty far, and it is really good...

 

[vbraun]

Bah.

Heres one with slighly better woods in my opinion. Note i just used the POV-Files that Random Observer posted. I also fixed the size thing. No paddles/Rower yet...

 

[vbraun]

Bigger version:

 

[Gogf]

IMO that looks better. What wood is that?

 

[vbraun]

T_Wood13 for the inside and T_Wood17 for the rest Ive been working on a run animation ill post it later.

 

[vbraun]

Animation:
A rather simple and non realistic run animation.

I just used the canoe with aaglo's run waves he made

 

[Random Observer]

youre kinda highjacking my thread...
IMO my wood textures are better

 

[vbraun]

Sry Ill stop now.

One thing about the wood textures:
Make the seats a diffrent color then the hull. Becsaue when you want to get in Civ Size you wont bea ble to see inside the canoe at all witht that dark of a wood. I just wanted to help you out a little thats all

 

[Gogf]

Well, I like vbraun's wood better . IMO, yours looks a little too much like marbe. But, it is your unit.

 

[Random Observer]

I just realized the canoe was shiny for some reason and i figured i would work on the other textures at the same time
New textures:
