[Chivalry] - Mason Man At Arms - Nomadic Conquerors Set

I am in!

Here is a rough concept of my first set I plan on doing.

ambitious_nomad

Just a quick question on the sets. Is it just the helmet and sword or can you have helmet sword and another weapon or possibly a shield?

Notes

Just helmet and sword...you CAN make other items but it won't increase your chances of winning.

ambitious_nomad

I am not worried about increasing my odds but I would like to make a more complete set I think a shield would bring some of them together more.

A rough preview of the helmet sculpt

Nolt

Nice! I think this will look pretty sweet

ambitious_nomad

Thanks 9thKnight your sword is looking really good. Do the helmets have to be water tight?

Nolt

Thanks! Not that I know of. I did see someone say they aren't using double sided shaders so you will need to model the interior.

Dylan Brady

@ambitious_nomad: the meshes can have floating geometry/open edges, but as Jake says the inside of the helmet needs to be modeled as they can fall off ingame.

ambitious_nomad

Thanks guys that is all I needed to know seeing how it will factor into the triangle count.

Here is a look at the high poly for the sword.

Nolt

Really nice detail on that pommel. Good job

ambitious_nomad

Thanks 9thKnight.

If anyone wonders what type of sword it is well here you go. You will find they didn't really have a specific style and sizes and types varied but the main purpose was to hack.

Nolt

Nice! Some good info on the background of the blade!

Just a lp update. I have been having computer troubles and I will be out of town this weekend. Hope I can finish up textures on this and then move into finishing up the helmet!

Nolt

Good luck in getting that finished up

ambitious_nomad

Here is a texture preview. Still working on cleaning it up a bit.

Nolt

Looking good . Maybe play around with the saturation of that blue steel a bit. Feels a little too blue to me at the moment.

Problems I got em. Not only going into this project I had to reinstall all programs on my computer because it took a bit of a dive crashing the hard drive. Thought I lost everything but beyond that I am having import issues into the udk engine due to it saying my fbx isn't current and then it crashes. Finally got it in but the model appears to small (Could be a splinter in a shoe for the size it is) and with the textures applied the spec is far too glossy.

try to reset the x-form if you are using 3ds max ( for the size )

ambitious_nomad

Thanks I will try that. In the mean time literally two seconds after posting this I have figured out the spec map problem. Didn't plug it into the environment map as well and was needing to do that. Now it is just the import problem which I will face again with the helmet...

ambitious_nomad

All problems are fixed and I am good to go. Hopefully I can update on the helmet some time soon. For some of the udk renders I was wondering how people got the models attached to the characters such as helmets and swords so they have a good render of what they look like. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it
