Unit Request: Native American Archer

[Kal-el]

In my ever constant quest to diversify the Civ3 world I am making another request for a new flavor unit.

The Native American Archer:








Somebody please make this for the community.

 

[zulu9812]

I'd like to see this - it'd fit in well with my culture-specific units mod

 

[Nder]

please, we need more flavor units.

 

[Civanator]

maybe utah can give his Native American a bow?

 

[Nder]

That would be great if he did.

 

[LesCanadiens]

Damn, this would look great for the Iroquois!

 

[mjd]

I hate to be the needy "please make this person" (no offense to anyone, it's just the shyness showing through) but I'm all for as many Native American units as possible - it seems like these have been relatively overlooked

 

[GEChallenger]

Someone might make a really simple version by combining the scout's legs and the Mounted Warrior's upper body. Something like this: (I know this is really poor quality but I just figured out how to export flics from Flicster and I wanted to try something in my crappy publishing program )

 

[GEChallenger]

Of course much better looking, I would hope.

Then again, his headdress makes him more of a plains indian archer, and it looks like you want a more Iroquois-type archer.

 

[pdescobar]

Assuming I can find decent props and such I think I'll try to make this guy.

 

[Kal-el]

well, since I have added the Sioux to my mod I would love to have both! But since I can only really hope for one, how bout a guy with two feathers in his head.

PD,

that would be great if you could make him.

 

[pdescobar]

I'll try. Since he'd probably only have pants and/or a loin cloth, I should be able to clothe him and a bow won't be hard to find. The tough part of the model will be headgear. I've downloaded a potential full headdress but I haven't looked at it yet. Maybe I could just slap a couple feathers against the back of his head for an Iroqouis version After that, I just have to figure out how to shoot arrows

 

[Kal-el]

maybe Kinboat could help you out with the poses necessary for the archer animation.

if you do a search for "feather" at renderosity you can get a bunch of different feathers that you might be able to use.

here is one example:

Regarding the animations, I was intending to look at the Robin Hood anims to start me off at least As for the feathers, pretty much all the ones at renderosity are PSP or Photoshop images and not actual 3-d objects so I'm not sure how I could use them. I've seen one somewhere though if I could just remember where it was...

 

[Kal-el]

these ones are for use in poser, or at least so they are labeled.

 

[Kal-el]

with some work the top left feathers could be used.

 

[pdescobar]

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind when I get there. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to make his pants and loin cloth play nicely together

 

[Kal-el]

 

[Civanator]

I might be able to make something like GEChallenger posted. I'll think about it, cause right now i'm redoing the B-52 Stratofortress.

 

[pdescobar]

I came up with some feathers and am close to a decent model, so unless something unforseen happens in trying to animate I'll be able to make this guy
