[Chivalry] – Mason Archer – TrevorJ Set

TrevorJ

Name still pending!

Doing one of Pior's helmet conepts(concept is drawn on a knight but were using it as a crossbowmen helmet) Also have my own idea for a crossbow, will have some pics of the crossbow WIP soon.

Here's the base helmet, going to start giving it some character details. Also the jaw protectors are probably going to change in shape a bit, not sure how yet though going to explore in 3d.

Sophax

Looks realy cool tbh, good job but don't know if it'll fit the archer.

TrevorJ

Thannks for the feedback Sophax, i may end up making this set not for an archer, i got a great weapon concept from Pior as well, so this might turn into a man at arms set. Well see if i have time to do the other mask helmet concept i grabbed from Pior, some unexpected contract work is coming up soon for me.

Heres my progress on the sword

pior

Looking fantastic - totally believable, and the materials are spot-on. Loving it !
And yes - this might make for a great Man At Arms set, I agree

TrevorJ

update, got the sword ingame, just working on some tweaks on the helmet and then i can get into detail texturing.

FYI for anyone working on the broadsword, the root jnt has a scale of 2.54 that you will have to change to 1 before export to get the scale correct. I'm going to double check that solution with someone from Torn banner.

Really like this one. Materials look great, fits right in. Can't wait to see the helm!

pior

Absolutely loving it. Great job !!

TrevorJ

Alright got the helmet in as well, time to drill down on fine tuning the textures

TrevorJ

fixed a couple small shading errors, mainly the visor. For anyone using Maya, Pior informed me of an attribute in all meshes. In the attribute editor of a mesh under "Mesh controls" set the "Vertex normal method" to "Unweighted". and export as FBX with smoothing groups, tangnents and binormals ON. That gave me the best result in chivalry editor.

Simply fantastic man. Really impressive work, I love it !

as for this: "FYI for anyone working on the broadsword, the root jnt has a scale of 2.54 that you will have to change to 1 before export to get the scale correct. I'm going to double check that solution with someone from Torn banner."

I had the same issue, except setting it to 1 solved nothing for me, since it wouldn't let me rig it if I changed the scale.

Instead, I exported FBX converted to inches (I was using cm), and it scaled perfectly.

Like the sword! But the helmet looks historically inaccurate to me. Spiky helmet like this one makes me think too much of 1st WW Prussian helmet spike.

Good luck,

That would be the Proper way of doing it, I later realized that 2.54 is the conversion amount from cm to inches, thanks to Pior, derp!

TrevorJ

Ok, got both of these to a point where im pretty happy with them. Pior suggested simplifying the top spike to get rid of the little indent, going to give that a try, but otherwise i think im done, just going to make sure i have it all rigged right and make some marketing shots.

Weapon looks really good! But why you made a cuirass? :O

By the way, can you explain how to import the character with gear inside the test scene? I can gear my character inside animation editor, but cant do anything in the main scene. Any manuals will help! Thanks!

TrevorJ

Hey jnumber9, I didn't make the character or cuirass hes wearing, just the helmet.

for testing, there are some maps in

Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\chivalrymedievalwarfare\UDKGame\ContentSDK\ExampleMaps

there are two maps, HelmetScene and WeaponScene that have all ingame weapons and helmets layed out nicely. From there you can just drag and drop your static mesh or skeletal mesh into the editor view from the "content browser"

jnumber9

Thank you very much for the answer! (and the person who answered in "Arms & Armor: Questions & Answers" too).

TrevorJ

Just submitted me and Pior's entry. Good comp, had some fun doing something so different than Dota2.

Damn good work!

Zelfit

You submitted it in separate items. But devs said that sets should be submitted as single item. You still have 3 days, maybe it will be better to resubmit it in one set.

Nolt

Yeah just delete and reupload as one zip file.

TrevorJ

Hey guys, thanks for the heads up, when I uploaded both items they both had the same zip file so what I ended up doing now was just hide one and rename the other. Sorry I was just used to the way dota2 handles stuff with every item being separate. This way is arguably better.

Although I still can't see my items in the "most recent" list. Pior says he can so I guess its fine, can anyone else confirm they can see it? for that matter that they can only see the one item now.

Nolt

Did you fill out all the tax/billing stuff? I think you have to do that first.

TrevorJ

Where is this tax info? i cant find it anywhere on the polycount contest submission info or anywhere in the user generated content wiki for Chivalry.

Also for that matter, i couldn't actually find anywhere where it said you had to submit your items in one submission and not per item. Was this somewhere I didn't see?

Nolt

I think it was somewhere in the q and a about how to submit. But the tax thing is on steam. Go to your workshop items, click on your submission and on that page toward the bottom there is a button to go fill it out

TrevorJ

ahh ok, im pretty sure the tax info is shared from Workshop to workshop by Valve. I already filled it out for Dota2 so I don't see the notification. thanks though

Nolt

Ah, that would explain it then . I just checked and saw your stuff in there so you should be good.
