Ancient warfare

Hellenic hunting dog.

 

Pugio, short roman sword. Some errors on handle have no idea where they come as normal map and mesh are ok.

 

Looks awesome!

 

Thanks More stuff to come.

 

Galic long sword.

 

Falcata, common Greek and Carthagian sword. Mesh smoothing normals on render present, should be fixed with proper smoothing groups later.

 

Greek bronze helmet, also known helmet for Macedonians and Carthege.

 

Hey janpec,

What program do you use to make the 3d models? Also, what program do you use for the textures? I am just curious. Very nice assets there.

 

Hey Velo222,

I use 3ds max, 3d coat and Mudbox mainly. Max for modeling of hardsurface models such as swords, shields, helmets and 3d coat for all organic models that are first sculpted and then retopologised in 3d coat.
For textures i always use Mudbox, all models are mix between handpainted and photosource textures, i use many layers of textures with different layering methods for final texture in Mudbox.
In Unity i use Fur shader, Shaders pack from Chickenlord and Marmoset shaders for final renders and use.

 

Sarissa, long phalangite spear.

 

Gallic round shields.

 

Basic survivalist / hunter bow.

 

Fire logs variations.

 

Corinthian bronze helmet.

 

Spatha.

 

Celtic shields:

 

Celtic long sword. Some smoothing normals to be fixed on tip.

 

This is picture i keep for reference on visuals (not my artwork).

 

Celtic "leaf" spear.

 

Celtic oval shield.

 

Auxiliary shield, normal and elite one.

 

Quick blockout of Alexandria map.

 

Amazing as always : )
You are certainly a very talented modeler : D

 

Celtic "staff of fear". Causes morale drop to nearby enemy troops. Another version might be with beheaded heads as it is more historically accurate but not sure yet if it isnt going too far.

 

Siedge / climb ladder. Made both parts of ladder are procedural parts so lenght can be adjusted.

 

Very nice modelling and texturing! How long does it take you do to something of that standard up normally (Weapons/shields)

How is gameplay tracking? Do you have a programmer yet?

 

Hey MickM shields are swords have pretty much standart procedure time, about 2-3 hours usually.

All i have is concept and written down stuff but nothing has yet been implemented as there is no programmer. First aim is multiplayer working with dedication method that allows two people to connect, then getting fighting mechanic ready, then all survival features and last AI from living world enemies such as bandits, villagers, guards but AI is really beouse it is complex and whole project is multiplayer rotated is not a sure thing to even be in it.

If i dont get programmer in two months i will probably have to try my best on Kickstarter to raise funds and hire one.

 

Roman siege tower. Used for "wave" styled attacks, as well as multiplayer. Its constructed from procedural parts so it will be adjustable in height.

 

Beautiful game, I look forward to its progress.

 

Looks amazing as ever.

 

Wooden palisade and barricade. All parts should be placed manually so fort size and shape can be totaly adjusted, as well as look of barricades.

 

Onager, type of Roman catapult. Destructable, projectiles can be loaded , two types - a normal rock and burning rock with oil.

 

Battering ram. Can be burned with flaming arrows and destructable by sword / catapult.

 

Some start on vegetation.

 

Pretty nice artwork man. Ambient occlusion in marmo is messy. Did you end up finding your programmer? I'd love to play your game, not many of the genre like it out there.

 

nice models! i am a 3d modeler as well and i am here to ask some questions as i just started to learn texturing. for texturing, how would u need to optimize the models?

 

Hehe not more messy than Unity SSAO
Nope no luck with programmer yet, hope it changes.

Hey models can be optimized on textures or mesh (triangle count). For texture all you do is in Unity or Photoshop reduce its size for half for example changing texture size from 1024x1024 to 512x512 which will use less video memory. You can select in Unity once you click on your imported texture the maximum size you want to use. So that way you can make two textures one for higher LOD and one for lower LOD to be used.

For decimation of models to lower polygon models you can use 3ds max decimation tool (modifier), decimation tools from Asset store such as Simplygon or alternative.

If you have more specific question i would gladly answer.

 

Hi Janpec,

Things are still looking great here! Keep up the good work!

 

Thanks man

 

thx for the reply, i will take note of that, and for the uvunwrapping, any tips for weapons, buildings and etc? If u optimize ur models, will it be easier to uvunwrap? and how? Looking forward to this

 

Hm, models are usually easier to unwrap the less polys they have, but optimised models reduced on poly count with decimation softwares usually get many triangles and makes it harder for unwraping. As for unwraping technic you should look on Youtube there are many tutorials for unwraping. Buildings have to use procedural parts and tileable textures to get tiled textures over huge surface parts. What software do you use for 3d modeling?

 

3dsmax

 

This looks fantastic!! Keep up the good work!

 

Water lily. 512x512 tex, "modular" asset.

 

Tree mushrooms.

 

Grass patches with wireframe, still more grass versions to come, thus far i am satisfied with current one, except saturation and bias of texture might change depending on ground.

 

Just saying, you might want to tone down the fresnel and reflectiveness on the handle. It doesn't look like it has been used, ever.

 

Ok, since edit seems to be broken, I have to mention that this lack of "usedness" seems to be a common trend among all of your IBL images of the weapons.

 

Maybe they haven't been used.

 

Yep well that was my aim, to have rather clean fresh look rather than worn out. But i might still change it later not sure yet.
