Hero Renders

Great units!
But could you make better face for Brad Pitt ? - you don't have to use it from the Troy movie, you can take it from some poster or if the resolution is to low then you can make hero textures higher resolution - 512x512 - if its only for heroes units then it will not slow down computers performance.

We don't want it to look like a completely realistic brad pitt. Some people have already let us know that they don't like him very much

**Uranos** · November 30, 2005, 12:48 PM

OK, i have read that opinions too, but you could improove the face not necessary to look more like Brad Pitt, just to look better.

Uranos why dont u bring from our forum your own photo so that the modeler makes Achilleus like u?
u are both blond and handsome so u make ideal base for that specific hero

I'm handsome - that is true :laughing: , but i'm not blond :sweatingb
So i guess Brad should stay.

Apostate you have promised me something.

**Zhuge_Liang** · December 01, 2005, 04:50 AM

I'm still not sure what to do with it - if anything. Most people have their own views which all seem to be different so i might just stick with what we have as a standardised one.

u look blond enouf to me though!
at least if u were greek u would be considered totally blond!

----------------

PS its not a matter of which version prefers each one,but its a matter of respect to a famous archetype like Achilleus

if dont want to keep that respect,then u could ask your fans to send u pics of them and then chooce whose the best base for Achilleus face!
...that would be at least fun

**Zhuge_Liang** · December 01, 2005, 04:48 PM

I don't want people to think i'm running some sadistic battle porn thing on my computer lol, so please DONT ALL SEND ME YOUR PICS NOW.

I will think about what to do with the face later.

**Zhuge_Liang** · December 01, 2005, 05:12 PM

Feel free to post your non pornographic pictures of yourself here in a new topic and in a week or so i can open it to a vote (no promises that i will change the face)

Check out the hero renders in a presentation at Troy Total War - it is in the process of being updated constantly

**Zhuge_Liang** · January 20, 2006, 12:13 PM

I have been working on an different achillies that people who don't like the movie or brad pitt can use.

**Kscott** · January 26, 2006, 08:37 AM

WOW!, Great stuff Zhuge!

**dragases1453** · January 26, 2006, 09:02 AM

Impressive!

**Acamas** · February 24, 2006, 07:02 PM

Can I(Acamas) be in Troy total war since I was a hero and a big part of it. Is my city(Soli) going to be in it too?

**Spartacus_GR** · February 25, 2006, 03:42 AM

how about like this?

**Zhuge_Liang** · February 25, 2006, 05:08 AM

That is a hoplite from a different era

**Zenith Darksea** · February 25, 2006, 06:25 AM

Acamas, I'm afraid not. There were so many heroes of the Trojan era and the epic cycle - we have a vast number as it is! You may well find that as your family progresses though, you may have a son of that name. As for Soli, I'm not sure that I know it. What was its Homeric name?

With regards to that picture of Achilles, it is an anachronistic vase painting of a later era depicting Achilles as the sort of warrior with whom the artist was familiar. It is not an accurate representation of Mycenaean panoply.

I am not too sure. I think the name was changed to Soli. I believe the city is in Turkey(Asia Minor), as far as Cyprus. Around Cilicia area.

Feel free to talk about this, but you shoudl try to create new topics when you want to ask about such things, it will men that more people will contribute. Also, this is a bit like spam in the heros renders topic.
