WIP 2-Handed Knight

**Darioos** · January 17, 2010, 04:54 PM

Hi guys, just wanted to post something I've been working on last few weeks and to see what you guys think. This is first upgrade level of a 1300ish 2-handed swordsmen unit wanted to get some constructive criticism.

Would like to know what other factions i could reskin this so that it would apply to other factions.

They look nice and some great attention to detail dari,perhaps exchange the current helmets with the ones those hre 2-handed inits use (forlorn hope?) may be more appropriate?

They look good mate

**fenix3279** · January 17, 2010, 06:17 PM

They look really great. You just pick up modding or have you been at this for a while?

**Darioos** · January 17, 2010, 06:28 PM

This is my first attempt at modding.

**toluas** · January 17, 2010, 08:07 PM

For your first attempt all the more praise upon you!

looking excellent, particularly the use of the simple red garment (a jerkin? my medieval terminology is lacking)

@ Lemming A tabbard I think,

Can you take another screen of them close up so we can see the texture better. I like the shoulder squares, I would love to know how they got started using those things.

I like, they have their shield on back?

**Darioos** · January 20, 2010, 04:44 PM

No shields, they use Great Swords aka 2-handers.
Here's a better close-up of em...

Very nice work indeed Darioos!

So far I'm planning on making a skin for England and Germany as well, anyone know what other factions would have knights who would make significant use of 2-handed "Great" swords between the years 1300 and 1500?

Well if you're talking SS factions, the Templar Zweihanders could make use of it as well.

**Darioos** · January 20, 2010, 06:40 PM

Well in that case that would make for a good way to avoid removing anything from the descr_unit.

The tabbard texture looks good but the plated vest looks like it could use a stronger normal map. You might think about throwing in an overlay of some grunge texture on the vest for the leather, as now it just looks like a brown vest. Even if you want to give the model a clean look, you might still think about breaking up the texture a little with something. I like the design.

I agree with both the compliments and the constructive criticisms.

Nice work, Darioos. +Rep
