Wizards teaser pic

I'm working on making some wizard units. Not a full blown mod or anything like that, just the graphical stuff for few new units. Here's a screenshot of the first one.

Is it to obvious to say that im REALLY interested in these for Fall from Heaven.

Wow, those models look great. Are they animated as well?

 

[snafusmith]

Does this mean someone has cracked the animations for human figures!?!?! I hope so!

Looks awesome, can't wait.

Awesome! Keep up the fantastic work Rabbit.

 

[J_Period]

oooh...ahh...
it looks like a Grey Imperial Wizard to me
But, it probably looks like Gandolf to the LOTR people, and Dumbledore (after losing weight) to the Harry Potter guys...

love it!

I figured you'd want them

Unfortunetly not in this case. I simply added a hat and a staff to an existing unit and reskinned it. However, sharick apparently made a breakthrough with animations, so things are looking good.

So does this mean you able to import a unit from CIV4 into 3DSMAX? *is a little behind the times*

nice one rabbit, get on the work, and if u want to do some other simple changes with models, then remove the shoulderplates of the swordsman! and play around with switching helmets, heads and weapons or armor parts for the basic units (axeman, swordsman, maceman, spearman, archer and so on!!!) i definitely need some modelbases to skin!"!!

It's much more limited seZereth. I can't remove shoulder pads from swordsman because they are part of the swordsman mesh (model), so is the shield actually. I can easily replace weapons and shields (and anything really) as long as it is a separate mesh attached to the main one (this is the case for most weapons and shields). I can also add helmets and hats by basically adding a mesh on top of the neck bone but it's added on top of the head (with the helm/hair texture) and sometimes can be a bit tricky to make seamless.

In general, most of the stuff you mention, like helmets, heads and armor parts, are not really replaceable since they are not attached but rather part of the main model. What I can do is attach extra stuff on top of them but its not always appropriate and it can easily result in models that are too detailed.

Right now my plans are modest - after the wizards I'm going to make variations of some of the eariler units with different weapons and shields.

I can get you nif's of warriors without clubs and swordsmen without shields if that would help you.

Sweet! I will definately be interested in using this for my Harry Potter modpack once I get to the units section.

Great Work Rabbit!

ok, thanks for the answer, well its definitely a start so... let me know when they are done! oh well, can u do the maceman model with spear, axe and sword ? as it reflects a medieval man at arms quiete well and is easy to reskin. (and if possible, lower the hight of the helmet ) and is it possible to set one or two on horse?

dont feel to hurry, but i was looking for this a long time now!
