While, I was waiting for feeback before animating my Mexican unit, I made a model for an Egyptian spearman. The only problem is I don't like it. So, I'm looking for feeback. I don't really want suggestions. I'm just wondering what other people think of it. Is it worth animating or not?

Utah: i think it looks great!

 

[Kenric af Grashen]

it looks nice. do you mind if i use the headress for my poor bald man?

 

[LouLong]

Sa~craig, I don't think you should. Check below to see why.

Utah, it looks great alright, but more for Bedouin types or Israel than for Egyptians. IMHO I think it would be great with a David star (or without for pre-Islamic Arabs). Egyptians didn't wear a "bandana" to fix the cloth on their heads. Typical Egyptian infantry would be either "bare-headed" = with the black hair dressed or a black whig or the cloth styled in one of the pictures of the first page. Same for the shield.

i know it just would have been a good place to start from i could have changed the design a little. the problem is although i think my units look good they could look better i have many things to work on ie shading, my swordsman and Ramses units have 2D kilts cause i can't make them look like certain points are farther away i'm just a beginer nd have to put my units on hold to rediscover a spark that lit about a week and a half ago when i decided to restart my Ramses unit

Utah could you complete for a bedouin unit i'd like to add it to civs that rival Egypt

 

[utahjazz7]

Well, like I said I don't like the unit. So, if it doesn't work for Egypt, I'm not going to finish it. Don't worry; I don't feel offended or anything. Actually, I'm glad that I won't have to animate it.

For cryin out loud Utah! PLEASE animate this one! Despite what Lou says about the headband (which works well as another civ identifier), this spearman would work well as a levy for Egypt or Babylon.

Please please finish! At least when your able and willing hehe.

 

[Redking]

That spearman would be quite useful, I reckon.

 

[LouLong]

Utah. Please finish it. People might use it for Egypt if they want. I won't but I will definitely use it for other civs.
So please don't feel offended. Your work is real good. It is just my opinion it fits in a slightl different niche.

Pleeeeaaaaaasssssse

 

[utahjazz7]

No, I don't feel offened.

 

[Kenric af Grashen]

so will u make the unit please please please

 

[Kenric af Grashen]

my unit has been delayed not to long though i've been trying to finish ramses but i got slowed down by my maths teacher

 

[Kenric af Grashen]

right i don't like this it looks wrong but its the only way i could do it

 

[Kenric af Grashen]

and this

 

[COAtlantis1745]

The headcloth looks great Sa Craig. The spearman is shaping up nicely.

 

[LouLong]

Yep

Just the white cloth looks a bit funny below the shield from that perspective.

 

[Kenric af Grashen]

loulong, or any one else, can you tell me how to make my kilt look 3D

 

[Kenric af Grashen]

Please!

 

[LouLong]

Sorry I don't know.

I di mine 2D too. Still wonder if computerdude will eventually do it BTW.
