Virote's Unit Previews

[Stormrage]

I think he should hold the spear at the middle of the shaft (not counting the blade), so the pointy part goes further, when striking. Everything else is nice

 

[Keroro]

^ What he said. The unit does look really good animated at civ scale btw, and the fur boots are a nice touch.

Also, there's no chance of an overhand attack anim is there? I keep requesting it for spearmen, but no-one's interested.

 

[Stormrage]

I think overhand works better with large shields..

 

[Virote_Considon]

I'll try to get the spear sorted over the weekend

 

[Partizanac]

hmmm... looks fantastic! can you make a Slav Spearman

 

[Virote_Considon]

I may be able to put it at the end of a very long list of units I'm planning to make. (I'm going to attempt to make a load of units using existing animations found here, and then a few using animations that I'm gonna have to make...)

All of that "load of" new units being....ancient to no later than the gunpowder age....possibly maybe?

Oh, yes that would be lovely

 

[Virote_Considon]

That should about sum it up!

 

[Stormrage]

I love you, man

 

[COAtlantis1745]

. . .and and by GOD, we can never have enough...SPEARMEN!!! Yay!

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Thats right Atlantis thats right lol I'm making a Polynesian Pikeman does that count?

 

[odintheking]

I absolutely love that design, man! He looks awesome. Are you using my 10-frame run animation? (Trust me, it works better for the game sounds! I'm not just schilling my work! )

 

[Virote_Considon]

Of course I'm using the 10-frame run animation

 

[COAtlantis1745]

What is the status on that spearman? Please tell us he is rendering as we speak!

 

[Virote_Considon]

Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to work on him recently. I'll try to today, some time, though.

 

[Virote_Considon]

Here are the animations with him holding his spear further along.

 

[Stormrage]

Yay! Excellent!

 

[COAtlantis1745]

Yay! Mister Furryboots is coming along right nicely! It looks to me like you have made the spear point a bit longer..almost like a lance point...I like it!

 

[Virote_Considon]

It's not longer, he's just holding it lower down!
