[SD/Modeling] High elf Knight

[PurrsandMlems]

Ive tried to obtain a high elf knight by editing the texture of Cavman's Judicator, because it was appearing alien. For that end i have made a texture that has parts of human knight, alpha crusader hero for body armor and circlet, only head and book remains from the Mr. Goblin's texture.

there is the pictured issue with the shield however, which im not sure how to solve without editing the shield. i would like some help with that, probably could become round to fit that part of the texture properly, or maybe adjust to make fit captain's shield texture on it.

another issue is the black in the hair, and his sword arm appearing cripple, but those are prolly not as urgent to fix.

edit: added the missing texture

Can you add your texture?

 

[PurrsandMlems]

oh, sorry about that. well, i manage to forget things.

this is the human version of the orc warlord from ujimasa's pack, since it has the shield as what i have in mind, perhaps can be transferred from this.

because it was appearing alien

What does this bit mean? Is there some issue with the original Judicator's texture?

when placed next to the other high elf units, looked very out of place being the only blurry textured, golden armored dude.

Could always sharpen and re-colour it to silver

well, i ended up being able to transfer that shield myself, managed to even assign it to the correct side hand bone. there are these issues however, the shield is kind of hovering, especially noticeable during death, and completely gets up to former place during decay bone anim. idk, prolly needs to get assigned to even more bones.

That'll be a geoset visibility issue, you need to make it so the geoset the shield is attached to isn't visible in those animations. In terms of it's positioning in certains animations you'll need to edit the positioning of the bone in those animations itself, this should be doable in RMS IIRC.
