...fully armoured knights in decorative shining armour? :hmmm:

Well heres a unit I made for those who appreciate fully armoured knights in decorative shining armour

Probably the best unit I've done so far... its around1300 polys and uses 512x512 textures so it could probably be only used for a general.

Hope you like it!

Awesome, have you tested him though, i've had problems with models over 950. ah as a general, yes that should be ok... Well just awsome then,will you release him??

[Shogo]

Thanks,
Yea I know 1300 polys is really high but I could reduce the polys maybe down to 900. I was gonna release him but I still need to test him out.

EDIT: Sorry I forgot that I uninstalled BI so now my regular RTW doesn't work. I don't have all of the rtw cds with me so I can't reinstall it. I guess I'm gonna have to postpone the release unless some here can test the unit for me...

[Halie Satanus]

Well i'd be most greatfull if i could use him in my mod when you do, he'd suit my germanicae faction really well. the last unit i previewed in my mod(click sig) was 1275, game froze when loading, i got him down to 940 odd, and no problem, i don't know if it makes a difference if its a unit or a general.

Well i can test him for you. :wink:

Would you be willing to test the unit for me? (read my edited previous post)

I'll test him either tonight or tommorow.

[Sétanta]

Wow! Thats one of the best looking units I have ever, ever seen.

[Shaun]

WOW! nice skin. I like fully armoured knights in decorative shining armour.

[Shogo]

Thanks!

I'll send him to you now...

[Halie Satanus]

Cool, got him, i've been lazy with my own textures, thats really nice, simple but nice. well i'll try him, now. :wink:

Well as a general no problems, not even lag which i kind of expected.





These i toned down a bit and added slight gloss, the only problem is a slight clipping where the skirt(rear pic) under the armour shows through as he moves.

[Shogo]

Ah thanks for your help man... I'll try fixing that clipping problem. I'll also try messing around with the the texture to get the right tone.

[The Black Reaper]

wow those are amazing units!! great job

[dragases1453]

Awesome i like very much this italian knight

[Shogo]

Thanks for the comments.
I have learned how to model better in 3ds max and thought that I would start making units again, just for the heck of it.

[Halie Satanus]

No problem, my units are toned down a lot, and i use Archers Bi skymod so your guy stands out more than he would in most versions of rtw, i just did a quick job but really you need to just tone down the gold parts or the black goes to dark.

Great new unit aswell.

[Isnogood]

Wow, looking great, if that's some warming up for M2TW, I expect great things.


Really well done.

(BTW.What about your muslim units...might you release them too one day )

[Shogo]

Looking back, my Islamic Units don't look to good. I might try to touch them up a bit....
