DonDustin: I'm not sure right now if I should aprove this one. But I will wait for the general opinion about this model and decide after that.

DonDustin: ok...as the overall opinion seems to be really positive I'll aprove it now. But you should consider to do some of the changes that the others suggested

Gj 4/5

 

[raid1000]

usefull, since there aren't many units with spears and shields around

 

[Catch_ya]

If you havent had that animations then i dont think it has a chance to get approved ^^ i like it and its useful for me.. +REP

 

[X-OMG-X]

I think the model looks good so far. There arent much of these kind of models around here. Vote for approval, as it seems to be quite useful.

 

[Amigurumi]

very easy edit, but who care that this was easy made?
it's great, and like the others said, there aren't many human spearmen models at hive.
so awesome work!

 

[Misha]

hmm....

1: thin out the materials, you don't need another one with a footman skin. 2: remove corpse geoset, remove guts texture and material, and remove "decay bone' anim, that would reduce the size and the bones aren't needed i think.. i don't use 'em :/ 3: on death, make spear fall off, not stand at that weird angle. he's dead ya know.. 4: rewrap the underside of the shield, make all materials twosided (didn't checked that closely) 5: do more edits to the footman mesh, like.. adding a small cape to his back or front.. just to have more edits :3 6: put more "oumph" into attack defend or make him stab more times in one attack 7: put back the epic drink anim and canister, but make him stab the spear into the ground first :3 8: put the spear tip so that it doesn't make such look with the wooden part. it's kinda messy.

that'll be all :3

rating: 3.59/5 Good!

~Misha~

 

[Goffterdom]

If those changes can be done it would be really great

 

[punwisp]

Finally... We get a spearman model thats not a bandit, orc, elf.. We get a footman carrying one, about damn time.

 

[Dakillakan]

Offtopic: Now if we can get a PANDA SPEARMAN!? =D

 

[Ghost765]

thank.you.so.much.
well done, exactly as i requested mate, +rep.
imo, this definitely needs to be approved, just because its so damn useful. im pretty sure people are tired of seeing bandit spear throwers for pikemen in games.

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

Except for the spear is imo too big for the footman and too short, this could also be done by an attachment of a swordless footman.

I think not. then the footie would wave that thing around like a maniac and it would look ridiculous. O___o

just add and rework all i pointed out and it'll be good :]

..i'd suggest to start posting useful and constructive comments, starting from.. let's say..... right now. >:/

 

[Nillere]

Hehe, i like this model, since, as all others might have written in their posts, that there aint many models like this. 4/5 Gz

 

[HailFireer]

Very useful. I don't think it needs things added like some suggest, but you could fix animations and material stuff Misha gave.
But leave decay bones...

bones would be less useful IMHO

 

[Absent]

This is a good model, and it gets a 4/5 from me, only because it isn't 100% finished. Tidy it up with the suggestions Misha gave out, and it will definitly be approved.

This ain't FPSB, if you want constructive feedback get back to your banana community.

 

[HailFireer]

If you mean decay bones, like all units in warcraft, he should have it.

If you mean to some other bones, i got no idea ^^'

 

[punwisp]

You should give it throwing animations, those from brigands, Should have him hold it like it too. Maybe make 2 versions, one with Brigand Animations (For throwing, and throwing stance) Then the Footman stance with animations for melee.

In general; spears are for stabbing, javelins are for throwing.

This model is useful. +rep

 

[punwisp]

Then make a "javelin" version

 

[Goffterdom]

Useless, there is already a javeliner.

 

[havard1993]

GG !

 

[punwisp]

Useless, there is already a javeliner.

But not a Footman javeliner

 

[Puncho]

I like the idea....but maybe re-skin the unit to have leather armor or make the spear a bit shorter and turn the shield into a buckler(little round shield)would fit much better? ? I find this model....not entirely thought out. Just seems to me a mishmash of ideas. Plate armor, wooden spear, and big heavy shield...doesn't quite fit?

 

[TheGodOfIron]

Useful, especially on the animations.
But it seems... too little for a model edit?

 

[Misha]

really, too little edits,
please add a bit more or i'll be voting it for rejection.

Um Brigands and Bandits are already like this, if someone wants this, they can change the animations of a brigand model


@Misha

But its already been approved?

 

[Armenian Beagle]

Nice model, cant wait to use it.

 

[Adiktuz]

Good but I think he looks kinda thin...

 

[Misha]

@Misha

don't think that an approved resource can't be rejected. it happened to me.

however.. i don't see a reason to bother askin' for rejection.
so... cheers :3

 

[gala1221]

Nice one bud good job there!

 

[babyn00b]

Very useful model, the hive need more models with spears 5/5

 

[kranaos]

This is perfect...Goes great with regular footman and really feels like a unit that wold be part of the original game.

 

[DoogleMcDan]

Old school spear fighting (phalanx) was held shoulder high like a javalin, so even if you did make it use the bandit animation it would still work. Spartans are famous for such formation and tactic.

 

[Gamling]

This makes my job easier... Thanks!

 

[Hapless]

I want a captain

 

[Fire Eagle]

Unique model. There arent so many spear models in the hive. 5/5.

 

[Map Designer]

hey wandering soul

have you considered making this model, or the other spearman model(named pikeman) having some morph animation to make him jeveliner? I know we already have assassin but having this spear-jeveliner guy, I think, might be useful. ofcourse with some cool animation when he hold the spear in different way, and upload it as seperate thing?

 

[SNIper of DARKness]

This is so useful, considering that this was the most common weapon in Medieval times, it's such a shame there aren't any models like this on the Hive, or much anywhere, What would be very cool and what I've been trying to do but failed, is to transfer the animations of attack to a Villager, making it useful as he can be customized any way you want and can save space.

 

[King Llane]

I would love this model mounted.

 

[hexhound]

Nice model, good filesize too. Thanks for putting it up.

 

[UmbraUnda]

Hey would you be able to do a bandit reskin of this spearman model? or transfer animations?
I had somebody do that for your Pikeman model - let me know if you'd like me to upload or send to you.

 

[PostKnight]

Cheers mate, just what I needed! Fits the original game aesthetic which is quite nice.
