[jirisys]

Any way i can help? (skinning, grammar, maybe models, since i just got 3ds max (but don't know how to use it yet ))

Edit: Where the hell on earth is that map based on???? (i know it's indonesia, but it doesn't look like it, maybe you can add more indochina, or less islands)

Ok, so here's my first unit concept pics, we'll plan to use a model for several units (just change skins, as they are actually have only difference in armour and clothing detalis, but about a same sillouete (made an album in my TWC account, because the ORG album is somewhat confusing now)


their "hats" or destar, are actually like this in Real life... (the male one...)


Up-Left : the Melayu Archer-spearmen unit, in this concept, he was a 2handed spearmen, with bamboo shield strapped in his left hand, carrying recurved (notice that pikkies bow are not recurved yet) bamboo bow, and his hat are wearing destar. He was wearing leather vest, and another version of him will be depicted with metal buckler instead of bamboo, and wearing chainmail.

Up-Right : the Melayu Shortswordsmen, in this unit concept, he was a shortswordsmen, carrying simple "pedang" swords, about 60 cm long, and had large round shield (depicted as bamboo, but I will use the same model as heavier swordsmen model with wooden shield instead of bamboo), in the pics he was unarmoured, but another version of him will be wearing quilted leather-mail armour, and another was chainmail.

Down-Left : the Melayu-Sriwijayan Axemen, in this unit concept, he was the elite mariners of Melayu, wearing heavy leather armour, carrying an axe (indonesian war axes have spear tip, notice that), carrying some javelins, and wooden round shield. Another version of him will worn lighter leather armour, and another were unarmoured, bare chested warriors, with wooden shields.

Down-Right: the Melayu Pikemen, carrying a pike (actually will have phalanx formation in game, so you just need some long pointy sticks), and a pedang shortsword (the same with shortswordsmen model), he was wearing mail shirt.

more will be uploaded soon (after I draw trace them from historical books at my Univ's library....

OK.
And may be we should discuss modeling in the special forum, link to that I have found somewhere here, making own thread to concepts, modeling and so on, coz it is veeery uncomfortable to discuss everything in the one thread.
I hope there would be no copyright abuse using BI models?
