They're creepy?

Super creepy. Damn creepy Belgae and their strange women. Though, on a more serious note, I don't know much about them other than their being a northern Celtic culture that expanded into the British Isles from Gallia Belgica. I'd love to learn more about these guys.

Max has a neat modifier that does exactly this. Iirc it's called MultiRes. You can set a % of verts (where the full detail model is 100% obviously) to mathematically generate LODs. It does a fairly ok job, I don't see why making LODs has to be a dirty job.
More like 5 mins of work with some possible manual tweaking.Just my 2 cents, although I realise you quite possibly already knew that.
I looked at this thread because I'm from Belgium. Also, on the smoking thing, that's the Dutch, not the Belgians.

Ya I said it already. http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,50999.msg2292103.html#msg2292103Highelf said:ealabor said:

It makes it so easy, that when I made units for RTW, I immediately also made the three additional LODS.

Hmm, no I did not know that. Had actually downloaded blender yesterday for the process of "decimate".
Seems MultiRes it requires 3Dmax? which I do not have though.

My mother is from Belgium, they just were brave, being creepy is a 3rd person perspective, for them you would be super creepy too, but i know you mean no offense so let's say they were special.

Anybody of that time period would easily be regarded as creepy by modern society, mothers be damned.

Yup, it's a feature in 3D Studio Max. It does the whole process automatically. You just set the percentage of polys and it generates a new model.ealabor said:Highelf said:Max has a neat modifier that does exactly this. Iirc it's called MultiRes.

edit: If you want, I can help with that. Just send the models to me in 3ds format and I'll make lods.

As far as I know, the Belgae were Celto-Germanic peoples living in the most north part of Gaul. The Belgians living now are the descendents of those and of Germanic tribes mass-migrating to the area.
The mainly question is: How did they live ?
The Belgian and the West-Germans speak Celtic, use some Celtic objects and they are similar with the Gauls. The Belgians for Jean-Louis Brunaux come from the Central Europa (South Germany, Austria, Hungary) and they are Celtic, different with the Gauls but Celtic. The West-Germans are the new invaders during the second century BC, they are mixed with the Celts in the North (Netherlands, Belgium) and in Central Europa (Austria, Switzerland). The Cimbri and the Teutones are totally Celtic when they begin the war against Rome, the Germans are really less numerous than the Celts because several Celtic tribes come with them. The West-Germans come by small group in the Celtic regions to plunder and especially to settle. After two century, the Germanic becomes more important than the Celtic and the languages change. The Gallic Wars contributed much to this change, destroying the Celtic identity.
Thus before the first century AD, the West-Germans and the Northern Celts are similar.
Here, several articles in French on the Germans warriors (AD):

Gosh darn it, I love it when you guys go, "As far as I know"
You know yourself. Please, when you get that Master's Degree in ancient history, come on back here and enlighten us with more as far as I know phrases. Maybe, JUST MAYBE, E has already done the research he really needs and is tweaking the rest of this mod so we can play it? Discuss.
