Work in progess and Previews

[ShiroKobbure]

So Shiro just curious but now that you have solid experience doing both, which do you enjoy making more, leaderheads or units?

(The heads you previewed I did not see last time are quite good by the way)

both can be fun.
I like designing units, but animating them is tedious and frustrating when I make a mistake and have to reanimate the whole thing. But with units its easier to hide my lack of props at civ scale.


Ogedei, you are close

 

[Ogedei_the_Mad]

Ah, so it's Emperor Gojong, then.

 

[WWTVICTOR]

Ah, so it's Emperor Gojong, then.

You mean, the first emperor of the Korean Empire?

 

[Ogedei_the_Mad]

Yes, that Emperor Gojong.

minor updates

 

[Steph]

By the way, what's the status of your new unit pack(s)?

 

[ShiroKobbure]

Tom, who has been helping me is very busy right now. Which is one reason why I switched to making heads for the moment.

 

[Kyriakos]

Could you have Otto wear a white cloth as in the pic, and also is there any way you could find a prop for the medalion?

 

[ShiroKobbure]

I think its supposed to be gold in the pic, like this:

I also don't know if the color matters much, I didn't choose that shirt because of all the lines and texture. I actually based it from this:

I don't think I can make the medallion, do you know what it is? Maybe if I have a higher resolution picture of it I can make it a texture on the Fez, or if you could make an OBJ or other 3d file, I could also use that.

 

[Kyriakos]

Seems to be this:

Or some variant.

Personally i think the shirt would look better if it is either white, gray, or light brown

ps: i would create it, but bryce is HORRIBLE with exporting objects :\

 

[ShiroKobbure]

beads?
I thought you meant the thing on his fez.

Where do you want the beads to go?

I'll play around with the texture on his shirt more.

 

[Kyriakos]

The beads can be worn as a necklace, as in the pic you have of him It will add some detail and liven up the image imo.

 

[ShiroKobbure]

I think that photo adds a little more detail. I'm not sure, but I think you are mistaking beads for the buttons and loops on the ends of his vest. He also wears a cord across his chest.

 

[Kyriakos]

Yes, probably i am

Still would look amazing if you create this prop as the buttons for the shirt, and it is simple enough to make (at least in Bryce)

 

[Jerry'sGoldfish]

i wonder if the arms ar covered with some sort of armour.....is that a sort of armour???

 

[ShiroKobbure]

no, its cloth. And this is during the age of gunpowder, Otto I reigning in the mid 19th century.

[Jerry'sGoldfish]

well it is indeed cloth armour, i do not think you could stab the guy, nor cut his feet with a sword...

 

[ShiroKobbure]

updated Otto I

 

[Kyriakos]

Looks very good, but i still think that changing the red cloth to white or gray will be an improvement

 

[WWTVICTOR]

The beads are too small and easy to be mistaken as buttons, try to enlarge them and darken their colour (like brown)
