usefull ! I like the skulls

 

[SpectreD]

The concept is quite nice, along with the model. But i think the texture could use some work, it seems quite low quality

But good work

 

[Splub]

Cool model! Looks great!

 

[Ralle]

I like me some Lidless, Ocu and Shako. Good job!

Nice shield, the texture could do some work. I think it can be done with ingame textures but that was just me, I love the skulls and a brown texture that goes with it.

 

[Misha]

My my.. even Chieftain compliments the model oO

I however think the texture needs an urgent redo.. atm it looks like some cheap rip from somewhere..

 

[Solu9]

Thanks for the comments everyone.

The model could very well have used ingame textures but I wanted to create my own. It takes up more space, I know, though the model is not mandatory use, and it fits fine in a single player map.

That being said. Yes. I realize the texture can use a retouch, which I am working on right now.

Thanks.

Edit:
Reworked texture. Hit F5 to refresh.

Hey, I just saw this & now realize it's actually already made!

Like I said on your Gallery, neat idea & execution. Reminds me of Tomb Kings from Warhammer.

I'd love to see an alternate, in-game-textured version, but good stuff!

Thank you for the comment

I just looked up Tomb Kings and they are pretty badass so I take that as a compliment!

About the texture. The standard way of "texturing" (I use the term texturing loosely because it's not really texturing at all), is as boring as peeling potatoes, plus it may sometimes limit the potential of the model (not saying that is the case here though).

The file size is really large, I know, and that of course limits the use of the model sadly.
However I have had much more fun trying to learn how to texture myself instead of c'n'p'ing (<-nice abbreviation btw.).
How will I become better at texturing if I use an already made texture to unwrap after, I won't
Afterall the model can still be used in single player maps, which is why I dared to upload it anyway.

That said, I don't think a version using ingame textures will be produced, unless someone else does it.

well that being said, the texture still kinda lacks a certain sharpness to it, maybe not like war3's extreme, but it should be something that takes away this overall blurring of the model

Puh!
Noted and updated. The texture got a nice piece of overall sharpen. I was thinking of sharpen it even more but was afraid I would overdo it.

 

[Misha]

I'm.. not sure.. I was more about making it sharper, by piecing the colors together, giving it definition, from clear lighter, to very dark.. sharpening it via an effect is not really what i had in mind..

what do the others think, btw?

 

[Solu9]

To make sure. You are thinking making the light areas lighter and the dark areas darker?

 

[Misha]

yes, and lill more defined, lill more textured.. you could try with a lill bit bigger texture as well for give you more room to work with, it can always be resized

 

[Forsaken]

Good job! I liked!

 

[InfernalTater]

I think you could have pulled this off without using custom textures, but still, it looks good. The file size makes it unusable, though; nobody wants to import something this big as one attachment.

3/5.

With this name no one will find it as a shield bro, wtf.

What a great shield.
