Another high quality model - well done!

good job! If the uv(w) mapping is completed, I could, or at least try to, make a skin for it, just send it to me, and I will try.

ok, and ill try skinning myself. We will be in touch. Im making an inca priest right now ill post when done

Can`t wait to see the Chimu ~:)

https://i144.photobucket.com/albums/...akiescreen.jpg
Somehow, what it may look like.

There goes the Inca Priest. He will have the ability to encourage friendly soldiers. Tonight i will finish the slinger warriors and the javelins and then i have a little surprise for you...

Im sure i will have the Inca line done and uv mapped by monday...need some sleep though

Now that i come to think of it, the slinger may pose some problems after rigging beacause of the bag. I must check it first and see if it works fine, but you get the picture of what the unit will look like...But rigging time is in the weekend boys and girls so for now feast your eyes upon the renders...:dizzy2:

Another set of amazing models meliritos, I can't wait to see them skinned and ready to go!

to tell you the truth, me too...

You are one of the best moddelers i have seen so farr....

thank you for your kind words, but to tell you the truth when i look the work of, lets say, hoggy, i want to break down and cry. anyway rex we were trying to reach you, we need a decision about the inca units, see also the mod forum ok?

Dude thats so freaking NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok yesterday i rigged a model to see how it works with the existing animations of rtw 1.6. this is the result, i believe they work ok. I will finish the models and check them before i send you the texporter files. I still dont have an answer about the final units inca though, still waiting....

thats a low guard

thats a high guard

run forest, run

:thumbsup:

i think the first photo can one day make a nice unit card...

Your just awesome.

Can you make the rest of the noble units short haired?

ha murfios, dont worry, they will have short hair and a cape. Two more remaining, a noble unit and the sapa inca.

This is one more, i intended it to be the chesqui but we can have him as light fast infantry anyway. Pick a name for him

https://img223.imageshack.us/img223/340/pose2db9.jpg

and this one

https://img156.imageshack.us/img156/9848/pose1oj3.jpg

boy he is gonna get you...

ia that an axe what hes carrying?

:thumbsup:

Even more great work meliritos!

:2thumbsup: You are fast, efficient, cool, and creative.Two thumbs up.

All the thumbs up

Seconded!:2thumbsup:

Finished the nobles (sorry no photo yet) and now only the Sapa Inca remains and then i start the Aztecs. Only one thing bothers me though, the noble unit has 900 faces, the biggest model ive seen so far in the vanilla game was about 800. I dont know if my units will cause a lag for the player, so far they were all 750-850 faces high. In another thread i show a post that said their models were well above 1.000, but still i have my doubts. Is 900 faces too high?

No, hopefully the game will be balanced so that you can't spam noble units, it shouldnt be a problem if there is like 2 on the battlemap...

First of all to answer a question of Fili for a model carrying sth like an axe. No its not an axe with the medieval concept. The Incas didnt have axes did they? As soon as the guys skin the models i send them this Monday you will have him on your PC and then you will be able to see more clearly what he is carrying.

About the units, you mean 2 as in 2*28 soldiers this unit is going to have (maybe)? Anyway, the lack of horses in the game, which would normally add the horses faces to the soldiers ones will relieve game speeds wont it? Dont the dorses attribute to the lag factor?

I think so, yet the size of cavalry units often counter-acts it from what I have seen.

Thats ok, i dont think that an Inca noble unit should have more than 27 soldiers, dont believe they had so many nobles in the Inca empire at that time...

did the incas have round shields?

I saw one small statue that had a round shield . Ill post reference if i find it

Could you do the chimu after the Aztec?

Done By Richyg

Yes, i found it, so silly of me. And to think that i have already done a model with an axe and posted a photo at the .org. Anyway i mapped some units, anyone wants to do some skinning?

and this is the final unit, the man himself, the lion among jacals, the sun between the stars, the Sapa Inca. Now we need some skinning...

Total 10 units and i have one more if we need a spare


https://img402.imageshack.us/img402/...apaincavj4.jpg

I will do some skinning.

Cheers!:2thumbsup:

Thank you!

Murfios how are we doing with the skins, people want to see some skins. If you are a nice boy and skin the Incas well, look what ill model for you

https://img218.imageshack.us/img218/5528/aztecbo4.jpg

Right...:inquisitive:



https://i144.photobucket.com/albums/...apucheSkin.jpg

There is the first skin of a Mapuche Warrior. Low class, no defence. Uses a white cloth. Waiting for someone to put it ingame.

https://i144.photobucket.com/albums/...chePeasant.jpg
More so that I Murfios am able to see those models.:inquisitive:

Note: 2 Low class units. In short terms, placeholders to see if they work. Ill make more. Meliritios, I can't skin your units witht heir unique UB mapping because I don't have rome. I'll make more when I see feedback from the others skinners, and their works. Murfios now in state of waiting.

So what? Is it nessesary? cant you just draw it on top of the files sent by merilitos to the mods email?

GIve me a Prt Screen of them then. I'll be glad to do so

I'll put the skins ingame asap, then post screenies!

how many times do i have to tell you. The files i sent you are jpeg, you can put them in photoshop and paint over them. I will do it for the Aztecs, i will skin them myself but for the Incas i have no time to do both (although it looks like i should). Skinning though will take much of my time and that can put the modelling process for the Aztecs and the others on hold.

THere is no need to be so arrogant. Im not a skinner and if I where im not the only one, so stop picking on me.

Meliritos, you are doing a great job with the models, but you need to stop naggin on people. They are doing the best they can, and we are in very early stages. We will get this figured out.

RM3:inquisitive:

I agree.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

WOULD BE DEAD.

Well, Withought Rex, This mod would be dead. Withought Caius, we would have no map, this mod would be dead. Withought fili this mod would be dead, no historical basis and no one that actually lives where we are recreating what we are doing. Ect.

im not picking on you. anyway lets keep it down, i apologise if i offended you didnt mean to sound offending.

People, not act like children anymore, please !

Whith Meliritos we have progressed alot... without him, we would have been unable to make a single moddel ! Just think about that before making accusations.

If anyone ever offends him, that person will deal with me !
