SP Antiquity [WB] Commentarii de Bello Gallico: The Gallic War - On hold due to virus

[Demonwolf]

New poll.

Edit:

Could be in a signature, but this is Carrhae though. Maybe wipe off some of the Parthians?

Spoiler

Picture is cut because Roman/Celtic consistency is uneven, might be a nice Celt sig.

Spoiler

Spoiler

Will turn some to backgrounds/starting pics. I'm starting to think I do more of sigs than real modding work 

 

[SPQR]

hahaha.. nice.

 

[Demonwolf]

Here's an Attic Helm!

Spoiler

698 poly.

Will start texturing soon.

Edit: Anyone could help make a toga 

TOGA! TOGA! TOGA!

Doesn't look like an Attic. The helm looks like a Thracian helmet. I think you will need to make a new helmet and not use existing meshes.

 

[Uhtred Ragnarson]

Agreed, I think that visor is pretty distinctly a Thracian design

 

[MasterCaruyn]

Just saying, the Romans used Germanic mercenary cavalry during this time. And those Germans crushed the Gallic cavalry 9/10 times. Apparently they had a habit of randomly killing Gauls.

a little late to the debate, but yeah xD

Seems to be a nice mod, but voted wait instead of alpha, because I want to wait :p but do whatever you like!

Good luck.

 

[theAthenian]

I hate alphas. They ruin it for me. Betas all the way.

 

[shadowarcher]

It's best to wait and get a good mod instead of release it early and get a huge amount of complaints.

 

[killerrabbit]

True, I believe the team should be able to pick out any bugs that may turn up..

I made it from scratch based on this one.

Spoiler

But I added a plume.

I'm still fixing the visor.

 

[Gothic Knight]

Hmm, the helm's shape doesn't look like an Attic(ear cutouts and a ridge on the middle), but to be honest, there are next to 0 pictures of Attic helms on Google.

 

[Demonwolf]

Spoiler

Does this look better? What should I do to make it look more like an Attic Helm?

Edit: Another attempt:

Spoiler

Which is better?

 

[Gothic Knight]

Make an entirely new mesh and cut and modify it, or extent the bottom of the helm so it's the longest at the bottom and resize the cheekpieces.
Also, for other general's helms, use these pictures

I based the helmet on that first pic.

Those helmets in the 2nd pic are not in the timeframe of the mod.

 

[Gothic Knight]

I know, but two is an Attic helemt, although I don't know what form the Attic was in in the 1st Century B.C.

 

[Demonwolf]

Ok, so I tried texturing a second redo of an Attic Helm. Here's the result:

[Gothic Knight]

Good job with the photo. I would advise making it an overlay and putting a base bronze color+metal texture below it.

I could try.

Edit:

Spoiler

Is this ok, or should the base colour be shown a lil more?

2nd Edit: More editing:

Spoiler

Oh yeah, it's 404 poly.
