Unit Previews: Pikemen

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

You could change the spear-tip though. Maybe make it look similiar to a Kopesh sword?

a kopesh sword? like this -

IMO it's a bit impractical as a pike tip

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Maybe, but it would look cool and authenticly Egyptian....

 

[Straczynski]

I could do a tupi pikeman but CivArmy may have had plans to make one...I'll wait and see if he's doing one before I start modeling

Well... I'm pretty sure the only Tupi units he'll do are the six ones he already posted previews (Zarabataneiro/Dart Blower, Guayacuru Horseman, Pokabá-abá/Musketeer, Piroga/Canoe, Tamoio Archer and Iguarabá/Jaguar Tamer), and maybe a Pokabá-abá with more clothes... But I'll double check with him anyway and let you know his reply.

But hey, I can always ask for another unit.

The guy on post #31 seems perfect! I'd only make his armor a wee bit lighter and, like Dom said, replace the orange with gray.

 

[Dease]

replace all orange with grey?
Wouldn't that just be going back to the original colour scheme

 

[Straczynski]

Hm... Looking better, I guess the one with orange are better than the original one.

 

[Dom Pedro II]

No, keep the gold... get rid of the orange... Or if all of it is orange, part of it is definitely a darker orange...

 

[Dease]

I'm still not sure about the colours but, shiny, or, not shiny?
EDIT: @ DPII - I think you're talking about the red but I made this preview so is this what you're saying?

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Bingo! Thats exactly what I was talking about. I think you should go with shiny, but just slightly less shiny than than the one on the left.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I love the Shiny, colorful Egyptian Pikeman. Is Shiny an option texture in Poser?

 

[Dease]

@SoG - I dunno, you have the program

@DPII (or anyone) - I can't make him any less shiny I have it turned down all the way, attached is a comparison, left shiny is at 1, right shiny is at 15

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Actually.....

I kinda like the super shiny... but it's fine. The level 1 is good enough.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I think both have their merits...Both he'd look better with a Khopesh Spear point....

Due to yer repeated requests for a khopesh spear point, I'll spend my very unvaluable time modleing one tomorrow, then I'll decide it won't be used



(actually I'll post acomparison )

EDIT: or I could make it like this dude

 

[odintheking]

Give us the 15! Also, could you make a dwarf pikeman? Nothing fancy, just a dwarf with a spear.

BTW: Long live the Lego pikeman,

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Thankyou.

 

[Dease]

@ odin - that can be done (seems like I'll bee doing pikemen for the next few months didn't think it'd be this popular )

Anyone know where I could find a good hair model for the koori pikeman (pic below) I'm way too lazy to modle something soo complex (and it'll look like a blob at civscale no matter what)
Anyway, the pic

 

[Straczynski]

Dease, can you post a preview with shiny at 7?

Also, CivArmy said me he won't do the Tupi Spearman, so, will it be the next one on your list?

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Dease: You see how much easier "no" is than "maybe"?

 

[Plotinus]

Oh, yes. I think we should have a complete Lego mod!
