Antiquity OSP 3D Art Classical Italian/Roman items - Read Last Post!

[Guacharo]

The same way my cd drive failed and my sound card gives me problems:horrid luck. The 8800GTS I can understand, but a 7950GT that was in its case for a year or 2 not working, kinda weird. I'll try to do a little testing when I feel the rage in me go down. It was totally random too, after 1 or 2 years of working perfectly it just froze on WoT for no reason.

well thinking about it it passed me, it freezed, the monitor goes black and later i haved to clean my VD and my Motherboard....

try it, i dont know if that will help too much, but, you loose nothing trying it

Any tips on what to use? My can of air ran out yesterday.

 

[Guacharo]

mmm a hairdryer in cool mode and a toothbrush to clean some parts

Edit: i know a little improvised xD

 

[Gothic Knight]

Ok, I got my 7950GT to work but I'm still checking it out.

 

[Guacharo]

Excellent....

and it works fine?

 

[Gothic Knight]

Yes, but it has a bit of dust that I can't get out of it yet.

 

[Guacharo]

incredible but, the dust, is powerful xD

 

[Gothic Knight]

Pretty soon the poll will be over and I'll like to get some imput on what items you would like to see, or I'll choose something to model.

 

[The Shadow]

Damn, those are good! 

 

[Gothic Knight]

Results are done. Anyone willing to decide on which Italian item I should attempt to do?

Samnite Helmets, and torso armor, man..........

Here's some reference..... I have some more from a book I own, 'Warfare in the Classical World' by John Warry. Maybe I'll scan a few pics later. Or you can probably find it at a local library.....

I particularly like the helmets with the 3 to 5 feathers....

Pretty cool stuff. I actually have a copy on the second to last spoiler of the guy with the boar painted shield I might try making the helm soon although I'm still having problems with games crashing so I don't know.

Oh lord, except for that little wing on the side this one is incredibly awesome.

Someone has made it before.

It was also a helmet used by Romans.

 

[FrisianDude]

Really? On both accounts.

Really? On both accounts.

If you mean it was me, it wasn't, but I've looked up to the makers of these helms as well as historical reading as inspiration for making these items. I find the stuff during the rise of Rome more interesting than when Rome was an empire.

 

[The Shadow]

A Rome vs Etrusca MP mod would be cool.

Images of the Modified Samnite Attic Helm.
WIP- I haven't missed with the feather attachment, lower part of the helm apparently.

Spoiler

WIP2- Working on the lower part and figuring out how to line the vertices right to produce the look I want.

Looks good so far, but first pic doesn't show...

Second one is better anyway. I'lm debating whether to go through the every annoying pain that will be painting the lines at the edges of the helmet or trying to mess around with the vertices and making a hard edged one like I normally like to do. Hard edging looks better visibly so I might go that route.
