[OSP] [WIP Release 0.8.5] New Units for Gondor REBORN work thread (1st post image heavy)

[Sinic]

Awesome looking units love them!

Its expansion, DLC are those deals when you can buy aditional unit for one of the factions.

I really think that today developers and publishers want to limit modding so they can release crappy DLC with wont have any alternative.

BTW: First screens of upgraded Dol Amroth units will be comming very soon.

I agree with you there, but I also think the revolution is comming. Just like in TW games you can't keep the pleebs subjugated forever if you tax them too hard.

So keep your pitchforks sharp and don't forget to stock up on tar and feathers

Any way I could get just the Minas Ithil guardians?

[Taro_M]

Modders resource have all materials for each unit grouped into seperate folder just download it and you will find what you need.

[Dutch-Balrog]

Sooooo, what's happening forum?

[Gen. Chris]

Really thinking I might add this to my game when I reinstall Third Age...

[Taro_M]

Sorry, been wasting time playing X3: Reunion . However Im done with upgrades for Archers and Men at arms and I already have an idea for pikemen.

In other news: paradamed create a really nice horse mod (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=533752) that I plan to add to my project once I get permission.

[Araval]

Nice work as always!
Maybe the plate would look better if it were smoother in the middle?

[Taro_M]

It was before, but I wanted that "cut" to be clearly visible as with Arnor units. I prefer it this way.

[paradamed]

Permission granted for sure. It is a free resource. As I already said in the pm, it is your work that actually inspired me to create some new textures using the marka resources.

[Ngugi]

They look very good as usual T', but somewhat stainless? Some dirt details would make them to feel more real? Just my thought

[Gen. Chris]

Perhaps it is just me but could the wings on the helms be a bit more detailed? The engraving looks odd. But perhaps that's just the angle or the photos themselves.

Nice work regardless, Taro

I would prefer not, all my units are like that (except for Osgiliath Veterans). If you want dirt then instal Crimson Tide submod (Stainless Steel submod IIRC), it worked with Third Age last time I used it.

Yeah I noticed that too, with is really weird as textures and normals are EXACTLY like ones on gondorian soldiers. Right now Im going to try adding wings from Citadel Guard to see how it will look like.

[Taro_M]

Ok I created new 3D wings for Men-at-arms. Those are different wings from ones on Citadel Guard. I had to create them from scratch so results are pretty messy. I also changed wings textures a bit to make them brighter and give them more noticeable bluish tint.

In the end I think this is some improvement as now wings dont look painted on the helmet.

Beautyful!

[Mhaedros]

Great

[Finkenstein]

What will you do next, mastersmith?

[paradamed]

These are nice. Not too fancy since they are not elite knights. I liked them very much! They are a great improvement over the old DA units you created. The textures are so smooth , beautiful work!

[Gen. Chris]

That looks a LOT better Taro. Great work

[Taro_M]

Ok pikemen are done. I had some problemws with pauldron clipping with body but I managed to fix that. Aside from that I added embossed stuff on cheastplate and some aditional armor for left side.
