Crossbowman (WC1 Archer)

[loktar]

Will probably add a version with helmet and shoulderpads to match the WC1 concept art more closely. And icons

edit: made a quick icon, it's pretty crappy so will probably replace it

 

[Null]

The icon needs some shadow. It looks cool, keep it up!! I really want to see all wc1 and 2 models done corectly.

 

[loktar]

Hmm yeah, will work on the shading a bit tomorrow.
Thanks! I think I'm almost halfway done with the WC1 techtree ^^

FINALLY !!!
A LIGHT WEIGHT TEAM COLORED LIGHT NON-FANTASY CROSSBOWMAN !!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Galadgod]

It's always lovely to see some new crossbowmen.
I do think that maybe a version with more details and/or armor would be nice.
I also think that the mail coif doesn't look very nice like that, but maybe that's just me.

Great work!

Thanks! ^^

Working on it, making a version with a helmet and shoulder pads. Will also give it boots instead of sandals.

Could you be more specific? Is it the shape of the mesh that could be better, and how? =)

I think is that it looks too much like hair

Spoiler

Comparing it with the villager man

Maybe he should have more of the head or the neck covered?

Spoiler: Whoop shitty paint incoming

But I guess that does look less like the ingame WC1 archer.
Sorry for the delayed response, had some mousewheel shenanigans

Ah yes, you're right It actually is just the villager's hair retextured, with maybe a few triangles deleted IIRC xD

edit: @Galadgod how about this? still looks too much like hair?

5/5 V2 IZ GUD

 

[loktar]

Thanks! ^^

Fixed some holes in the neck on both models.

 

[stein123]

shouldn't the tunic (i though it was a shirt from the sprites) be team coloured too? since in the sprite apperars blue :0

 

[loktar]

Mm I guess, but as with my other WC1 units I'm changing the placement of the teamcolor a bit, so it's a bit more minimal and there's more room for detail.
I like it better like this

 

[Galadgod]

Love the change and the alternate version! Reminds me a lot of this dude

Spoiler: HoM&M 3

 

[Asssssvi]

I like the armored version.
A version in a tunic is similar to the model from the game Battle for Troy " if you add antique greaves, a helmet and a bow instead of a crossbow. + Low poly, you can use 1000 units, any calculator can handle it.

 

[loktar]

Thanks! That's a nice idea, but gonna focus on the WC1 orc spearthrower next though

The geoset animations of the v2 model seem bugged. The shoulderpads still stay in geoset bone animation.
Please fix that.

You meant in the decay animations right? Fixed that.

 

[General Frank]

A wonderful re-imagination of the wc1 archer unit sprites.
Great use of in-game textures and lovely edited icons.
Amazing job.

 

[Jaina Proudless]

My first serious foray into animating for models came out of a desperate need for a peasant crossbow unit. It's great to see simply yet useful models like these coming out! Yes, his face is very ugly but it adds to the charm.

 

[BrothForMyPeople]

I love this model. Looks both very warcraft-ish as well as medievally for historical maps.

 

[LordPerenolde II]

Once again, a brilliant work! Truly excellent!! +++++++++

 

[loktar]

Thank you! And thanks for the feedback and ideas =)

 

[Herod]

[Mortimm]

Best recreation!
