Shield Mod!

[n00854180t]

After a small amount of tweaking, I've make a modification for one of the shields. It's a representation of my family coat of arms. Here it is!

 

[n00854180t]

A small side effect being that all the things that are supposed to be brown are now blue. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I suspect it has to do with the compression I used.

Haha blue quivers look awesome.

 

[NorphTehDwarf]

Yeah, but blue bows look [huh?].

 

[n00854180t]

No comments on the shield then? I'm about to edit the blue quiver out if this keeps up.

I reinstall the game and back up your shield texture. Then reinsert it and if something happens you know the problem is with your skin.

 

[NorphTehDwarf]

I like the skin, but the shield seems to remind me of LoTR for some reason.

 

[dadarkman]

lotr? lol

btw: i dont like the stars...

 

[Ancientwanker]

looks cool.

If you really want to see some great textures on shields go check out the rome total war mods like europa babarum.

Thats just one faction so flip through the forum to see shots of some others as well. Seems like geometric shapes and animal figures both look pretty good on shields.

I am afraid I don't know why textures would become blue. One possibility is that you may have saved it as a normal map.

Anyway, nice heraldry.

I like the lion rampant and it is definitely not LotR. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

The lion resembles the one used by Finland on some flags and such.

My guess is your color palette changed when you saved it. You added blue (in the shield) which replaced the browns already used in the texture sheet. If you want to use your own image you'll probably have to use colors that are already present in the palette.

 

[n00854180t]

Paradox, good guess, but I've narrowed it down to a problem with using the nVidia stuff to extract it.

 

[n00854180t]

Well, as I said it was a problem with the way I was converting the .dds. Here's the updated version.

The lion is english not finish

ever heard of lionheart? Crusades? 3 lions on a shirt? (footie song.. sorry "soccer")


anyway, nice but i dont like the stars, and the black could use a gradient of some sort with some scratches other than that its fine
good job

 

[[P]aradox]

England hardly has a monopoly on lions.

That's a Finnish one-cent euro.

 

[weltonia]

no but it was the heraldic sign and consistantly used on sheilds

plus thats a different lion

the one hes using is the lion

 

[n00854180t]

Uh, keep in mind this is my family coat of arms. I didn't put the stars there randomly.
