I really like this one , you seem to pay a special attention to the greaves everytime. They are the most outstanding. Also the thracian helmet ridge is a very nice detail. All you have to do is to make the chain mail more rough and realistic like other guys suggested previously.

Wonderful model, but the Carthaginians never adopted the Macedonian phalanx

[Antiochus]

He should be a hoplite, not a phalangite, but he looks great.

We don't know exactly the term - but the spears was longer than a normal greek spear , but smaller like an macedonian Sarissa.

I used this paintings for my reconstruction:

Not a classical Hoplite, probably at the time of the 1 Punic War the Carthaginians/Lybians adopted the thureos and longche , as reported by Polybious

Andy, you are a machine. Very impressive work. When do you find the time to do it all?

[The Dutch Devil]

Okay, here we go. This is the rigged model I will use for the Sacred band model. I will try to show periodic updates on the progress, unless you guys think it a waste of time. The purpose is to demonstrate the process, since many people simply do not know what is involved in modeling an object. If I get any objections, I will stop. I don't want to pollute this thread with "work-in-progress" screenshots. The nice thing about doing it this way is that I can get peoples input on how they would like the final model to look.

I'd love to see updates on your work, kinda curious how you eventually end up with the final result. When posting larger pictures please take care to spoiler them though, so they don't stretch the screen for people with smaller screens (I went back and did it for the two posted on this page).

Ahh, good advice, thank you. I'll be sure to pay attention to that. Is there a recommend size for posted images?

[haloband]

Another update. Sculpted the breastplate.

what sotware did you use?

[AndyMoszejevsky]

I heared your nice critics and I work on an new Lorica harmata figure over the tunica with improved textures and light effects.

[Pinarius]

great, that's a neat improvement.

[haloband]

Here's an update. Just working on pose and positioning of items. Still no detail added yet until everything looks correct.

Hmmm...those lorica shoulder guards looks familiar. By the way, the new image is a big improvement. Do you have a new renderer, or are you just adding new lighting?
