Elite Foot Soldier

[Goffterdom]

Hey there!

That beefy dude is look very, very impressive compared to other footmen and this is a good thing.

He can really have that crusader / elite soldier feel even from top-down.

The extra sword in his shoulder sheat, while adding to the overall "beefy, elite" feel is unfortunately clipping through the entire model in some animations.

In addition, I think it may make disturb his silhouette a lot from a top-down perspective and generate a lot of "movement noise".

I'd suggest either removing it, editing the animations where it clips or scaling it down.
I'm saying this knowing it might compromise the overall "shape balance" of the model, so IDK if the changes I'm suggesting are the right thing to do.

In any case, I'll probably be using (or at least trying) this model for a specific "crusader faction" footman and I might be doing some edit to it if you allow me.

Great addition, thanks for your work, keep 'em coming!

Hi Goffterdom,

Thanks for the Comment, i'll look in to it, since i only tested some basic animations and focused more on improving the looks so i missed some of the clippings animations...

And I forgot to mention that the filesize of your footmen models is light which is very important for maps with many imported models!

This looks really good, love it! would it be possible to create a 2 handed animation for the the footman to use the sword on his back?

Like what Pokemanharald said, the blade on his back can be utilized. But I was thinking of making it his alternate form. Like, he can use either a one-handed sword and then the two-handed blade. The one-handed dealing normal damage while the two-handed dealing more damage. It might come off as such a demand but it's just a thought. Overall, this model is great!

was thinking of the same thing, but there is a slight issue on the implementation side since i'm still learning. i really lack on the animation side.

Yeah, I thought so, too. You would double the amount of animations which is a hassle. And even if he's just an Elite Footman, I think the Captain sound set would suit him.

Any Ideas on what editors to use since i only started editing a week ago, I've been using Retera but i seem to get a lot of errors when i mess with the animations?

Hey. You have created very good models. You should try from History.

I can't say I'm keen with model animation. You should servers that could help you. Retera has a server of their own, maybe as in the HIVE Discord server, too.

Nice work!

Hey!
Just started using the model. The model looks amazing, great work sir.
I looked into the comments also. I think for the 2-handed idea you can check out Human Doppelsoldner
It's a great alternative for the default footman

ya. with permition to use Human Doppelsoldner, all Xyrohn21 would need to do, is making the morp animation, basicly the footman putting away sword and shield, and draw his two hander, and revert that animation backwards for making the animation for changing back. im sure Altruistic Anduin would not mind to help Xyrohn21 with that, so long he credit him ofcouse.... i mean, with his fantastic skill and expiriance with morp animation. this footman here would be one of the most intreasting with his help. Altruistic Anduin is the best morp animator here on HIVE i know of
