This blog wouldn’t be complete without pictures, right?
So, here’s a bunch of stuff that’s mid-development to various amounts which have been put aside until somebody kindly provides more hours in a day.
These are leaders for Civilization V. Or at least, they would be if I had the time to look into why they’re not quite getting modded into the game correctly, or the time to do all the required animations and, for that matter, finish off the meshes.
So left-to-right, we have Alfred the Great and his famous unfinished crown, Boudica of the Iceni with her well-known badly modelled hair, and Queen Nefertiti and, well, she’s barely even started.
But at least as far as these things are concerned, they’re just things on the side to dip into when there’s a spare moment. And at the end of the day, actually making characters is fun just as long as you don’t need to, you know, get them to work in anything.
I heard that the Civ 5 mod tools don’t work so them exporting might not be your fault anyway.
Alfred has a lovely beard though.
Heh, thanks 🙂
The mod tools have some issues, that’s for sure. But we did get Alfred in-game and animating, albeit with the shaders not quite perfect and a couple of polygons missing. We had to write our own tools to do that as well as a hell of a lot of trial and error.
