Re: Samurai model request
 

Hey no problem, that's why I posted the pic, to get opinions! The red is just temporary. Unfortunately I can't skin very well (I only have PaintShop, and I'm no good with that).

Okay here's the plan: The main model will have Silver armour, the Red team model will have red armour (obviously) with a red flag on his back (they had those) and the blue one will be a sort of greyish blue colour with a blue flag on his back.

Oh and $Michiel$, the samurai wore scary masks in battle to scare their opponents. The mask will be removable.

When I did the red armour, I had in mind something like the armour Tom Cruise wears in The Last Samurai.

Of course at the moment my armour is not very detailed.

Sounds great, hope you can learn skinning, or that someone'll skin it for you.
And thanks about the mask info ;)

I heard lot of opinions that in 'the last samurai' history and culture level = 0.
I mean this film doesn't shows real samurai culture.

In my ng i found very good photo of armour of some samurai:
mostly black leather with silver metal, gold and red stuff. They had very lot of detailed stuff...
This 'horn' on helmet was mostly gold

Here are some pics I've found on net:

Re: Samurai model request
 

I like it :)

Re: Samurai model request
 

I think this is a great idea but, I have no clue how to model...

Re: Samurai model request
 

Okay, just for anyone who is actually interested in the release of this model, it is progressing well. The helmet is much better...

... and I am now a n00b skinner! I can make basic skins, and as you can see I've already skinned the mask and part of the helmet. I've got to revamp the mask skin a bit though, the detail needs to be sharper.

Anyway, the model is not dead, and it will be released. I just won't show any updates from now on coz I can't be stuffed. :moon:

Re: Samurai model request
 

Very good :thumbsup:
Now skin, skin and skin :D

Re: Samurai model request
 

Yes, it looks very good.
I'm really looking forward to this model.

Re: Samurai model request
 

Okay, I know I said no updates, but here's one anyway.
Here's the model with full armour showing the Red and Blue skins (if anyone wants to reskin it, be my guest!)

And here's a close up of the new mask skin, nothing special but it's much better than the first one:

Okay, if anyone reading this wants to add the skeleton, tell me and I'll send the model to you. If nobody adds the skeleton, the model can not be released.
