Change the crest on the shields

[Maximal]

Hello, I'm in need of a difficult thing (or so I think)
You know the Herrdave's gondor troops?

Spoiler

These ones:

I need the emblem on the shield to be replaced by a hammer

Spoiler

I'm not the best artist XD

The problem is, I tried to do it myself, but the shield and the emblem on it was done in a complicated way, not comprehendable by such a mere mortal as myself.
It would be much appreciated If someone could help me out.

P.S If someone helps me, could one by extent help me with replacing some textures for this models.

Have a good day, one who reads this.

Do you want it to be like this?
If yes, I will do the same for the Soldier

Spoiler: Fountain Guard

Yes! that's perfect, but can you make it smaller and smoothed out a bit?
Otherwise that's exactly what I want.

I can make it smaller, but I don't understand exactly how to smooth it
Maybe because of the screenshot, it looks un-smooth.
Edit: Made it smaller by 15%. Is this better?

That's very good! Could you be so kind to help me with changing some textures on these models, so that they look good?
You already did what you've been asked, but please

 

[SonsOfSami]

Here are the 2 models with the Hammer emblem.

Sure, but which textures exactly?
Keep in mind that I am not that good in UV wrapping though : (

Ok, but which textures exactly?

Thank you very much!
You know these models mostly use footman's texture, But when I try to replace it the wrap gets messed up in some places, especially the shield and the helm.

I would be really happy if you could help me on this, but it's your choice.

I attached the changed footman texture to this reply.

Oh, and one more thing, is changing the shield background (the green texture) to be teamcolor possible?

 

[SonsOfSami]

Yes.
Here they are, green shield is now TC.

Trying to UV wrap the Dark Knight texture now.

Edit: Added versions with Dark Knight texture, unfortunately they don't look too good (especially the helmets) but that is all I can do

 

[Maximal]

It's good. So I guess you left the shield out, because you cannot make a good wrap of it? Atleast the border of the shield.
Still, I like it very much!

I left it because I didn't know what it should look like with dark knight texture, so I made it look like the original (TC with hammer)
But yeah, I now realised that the borders look worse, I'll see what I can do
Edit: Updated Shield borders' UV wrap

Are you sure you attached the right models? Because there's litterally no difference.

Yes, the shield border (the white outline) got a slightly better UV wrap, it is not very noticeable though
Do you need an exact change to it?

Like, apply the dark texture to it, so it compensates the armor?

 

[SonsOfSami]

Alright.

 

[Maximal]

Alright.

Can you do the same to the inner border of the shield?
And one last thing, is there any way to make the TC part darker? Not change the texture, but the brightness?

 

[SonsOfSami]

I assume you are talking about the Fountain guard, which I forgot about (the inner border) - my bad

And one last thing, is there any way to make the TC part darker? Not change the texture, but the brightness?

Which variants? Normal or Dark knight textured? and shield TC only, or every TC part, like the cape?
I can make the shield TC darker, but I can't change the other parts, they would require changing the texture itself (which I have no skills in)

The shield TC both for dark variants, make it a bit darker, since it's too bright and clashes with the overall theme of the unit.
I think that would be all, I don't know how to express my thanks!

Spoiler: Only open if you really have nothing else to do

1:Can you make the dark fountain guard use the attached texture for the face?
2:There's an archer model attached, can you replicate the wrap from the soldier (make it use the dark knight texture) (the models are almost identical)

 

[SonsOfSami]

1:Can you make the dark fountain guard use the attached texture for the face?

Done, but I kept the black thing over his mouth, firstly because I'd have to use another head mesh for the face to be revealed, secondly because the model doesn't have a Jaw bone
Also should the eye be the Dark Knight's texture? The Heretic Priest texture doesn't have eyes.

2:There's an archer model attached, can you replicate the wrap from the soldier (make it use the dark knight texture) (the models are almost identical)

Ok but what about the bow and quiver? they use Human Mage's texture
I have left the Bow and quiver unchanged for now

Remove the irises, these guys are possesed so empty eyes is good.

Idk what to do with TC on the archer, since the heretic priest texture does not have any, the pants lose their TC aspect.

I mean do you think he looks fine without TC?

P.S As you can see I'll use the Heretic priest texture for the faces of all dark units.

 

[SonsOfSami]

Well, I got an idea
I can make the pants a geoset of their own so they keep the original human mage texture with TC, while the face, bow and quiver gets the heretic texture

That would be awesome, do it also for the Soldier, as he has the same issue.

So you should have 3 files attached in the next post

1: Fountain guard with no iris

2: Soldier with fixed pants

3: Archer with fixed pants

You are literally a G O D
Thanks for bearing with me, through my neverending stream of requests.

 

[SonsOfSami]

Here you go.

May I ask you, how is you skill in animating? Don't worry, I won't ask anymore of you now, but maybe in the future, If I would need help.

Little to none, unfortunately : (
I do know a bit of how WC3 animations work, and can make very simple edits/fixes, but to make custom animations is out of my reach.

I may sound like a total asshole, but can you do one more thing for me, with these models?
Can you replace their weapons?

Soldier - Odd Sword (not the _portrait)

Fountain Guard - Hagashin Lance

P.S It's for the dark variants.

 

[SonsOfSami]

Alright : )
Here you go.
Edit: Slightly fixed the Guard's lance, so now he holds it in his hands correctly

I have no words, you are an absolute legend!

I LOVE how this guy turned out (I replaced some more textures by myself)

Spoiler

Though if the shield border was even more darker, I think it would look better, but I'm going overboard with expoiting your kindness by this point, so I'll just shut myself up.
