REMAKE of Aragorn's Model (for 1.3) PROJECT - "Model creation" and "Script creation" FINISHED - still some small changes, then the release!!

Hi to All ...

I think that King Kong has done a fantastic work with this patch.

Anyway in this thread we are trying to create a remake of Aragorn's model.

The model created in this thread is not only a remake ...

Is the real creation of another model .... very different compared with the original.

Well, here there are two images of the final "Strider" version of the model :

Thanks if someone will reply me

Pretty easy to do, I can do it when I've got time.
If someone else haven't already done it then.

Really?
Would you be able to do it?

It would be incredible nice so,I think ...
or maybe make a mode,in which we can choose whether the hero is on horseback or on foot ....
and also for the other heroes ...
I believe that as regards the components of the fellowship of the ring,
they should not be on horse, no?
However, this is my opinion ......

If you could do the same thing at Gandalf that will be hot! XD

Yes ...I also think so....I quote you

I support this, could also Taro M make aragorn a new face , with KK's permission of course, his faramir/boromir faces are really nice, and he could add his redone rangers as his bodyguard.

Well 2h animations for generals don't work, so you'll still have him 1 handed.

Lol? So how in the earth BC has an ERE captain which uses two handed sword and two handed animation?

Notice how the guy on the right wields the sword in second screen .. he uses BOTH hands, and in melee it's the same. Exact animation of two handed sword unit.

If you don't believe me install BC yourself, or ask someone from the team how it was done. Don't say it's impossible if it clearly is.

So.... you mean that maybe (maybe) in the future will be possible to see a two handed animation for Aragorn's attack??
Thanks for reply

Yes, it would be awesome to see Aragorn leading a city's defence upon the battlements.

Hmm... i could live with him going one handed...

could u also buff his stats a little plz i have tried but cnt seem to figure it out
i ask coz i charge him in to the back of a group of archer malita and after his group was like half of wat it was.

I support this, could also Taro M make aragorn a new face , with KK's permission of course, his faramir/boromir faces are really nice, and he could add his redone rangers as his bodyguard.

I do not need KK's permission those faces are simply scanned from photos. I have sent scanned Viggo Mortensen's face to Elessar , if he manages to find some people's willing to work a little on Aragorn they need only hair and they are pretty much set. Personally Im not that much interested in creating Aragorn, Boromir & Faramir were different, personal matter .

However I wish you good luck.

Well ...
and now that we have the scanned of the face by Taro_M ,

we "only" need someone that is be able to remake the face ....

unfortunately I'm not able to do it ...

Are there someone that is be able to do it????

Or that know someone be able to do it?

Thank you again

You dont need to "remake" the face, that scanned one one is ready to be put on model. I guess that I can help you with this one, just tell me on what body I have to put it on, I think I have found rather good hair for him too, but well see.

Thanks for your disposability ... really thank you very much ...

but I think that we should wait a bit before we can see a more accurate version of the model of Aragorn ...

Anyway, I hope (in future,obviously) that we will be able to get something like this (compared to the graphics capabilities of Medieval II Total War, of course )...

The model in the photo is the model using in "The Return of The King" ,
for Ps2

I am a dreamer, I know!

To take him off his horse can't you just remove the mount from his bodyguard unit in the EDU file? Might be wrong though.

yeah i thought you could do it that way - anyone know how to change it and could put it up?
