Ok, since i got a lot of time on my hands this weekend, i decided to do some minor reskinning the huns. I just can't get myself looking at those vanilla units, and i have some experience with photoshop and a bunch of vanilla models to work with.
I feel like there are no need to create new models; go through the whole 3dsmax process and the whole nine yards, this is only a small mod. No new models mean, there are less to download and replace, my mod uses existing models from both - RTW and BI.
I changed a few units already, and even though there are more to go, i'm not fully satisfied with my results yet.
I am also trying to make them more historically accurate, coming from the fact that huns did not wear metal armor. The only protection they had on was simple clothes and leather armor and leather-scale armor and maybe some chains, but definetely nothing like romans or other european type cultures.
I'll give you a small look on what i have been doing for the last couple of hours:
the new elite hunnic horsearchers, using the old schythian noble cavalry for model and a custom made texture:
the new warlords, pre-existing skin, modified somewhat, using a BI model
new hun heavy cavalry (lancers and swordsman)
all units will be re-skinned somewhat, I'm tired of looking at a bunch of Jay Lenos and french-mustached dudes running around...
edit:
all the colors will be toned to match each other uniforms, there will be darker along with the horse they sit on.
These units are not final they are work-in progress and prototypes..
