cant u make it so that it uses a 512 version for ultra high settings and a 128 version for low?

[Master Windu]

All are 256 except for the Gondor Soldier and Theoden, which are 512. I have a 256 soldier ingame, so the 512 one wont be the one ingame when I release these, if I do. And these wont be any problem for lag, because BFME II uses 512 and some 1024 skins, and they also use 1800 poly models. My model is around 280 polys.

wow thats crazy!

[Nertea]

@Elassar: That's what .dds is supposed to do... doesn't work so well though.

Anyways... though I'd posted my comments a while back:

Theoden: The photos you used for the chest and the arms really don't match up. Also, while I'm honoured that you used my scale mail, it's quite inaccurate to the actual armour.

Royal Guard: Suffers from the same problems (shadow lacking) that your original gondor soldier did. Also, if you're going for accuracy, take a look at some reference.

Gandalf (Grey): try to increase the definition on his robes, they look somewhat blurred compared to the face.

Gandalf the White: as has been mentioned, a bit chubby.

Aragorn: try killing the saturation on the face a bit.. might also want to try moving the waistline up a bit. Also I'd recommend a seperate model for the coat.

Otherwise, nice work... you're really coming along.

You hit the nail on the head, Nertea, I just slapped some pictures together, I havent really got down to properly skinning them yet and making them fit together. And I never noticed before, but Gandalf the white is really hard to skin, because you have to get the exact color for his robes or they look weird.

[|MeMw|Elessar]

no i mean with the polys u cna can that many and have like no lag wow they mustve done some major changs to the engine

[Master Windu]

As was said sometime before, I cant exactly remember where, but texture sizes and poly count dont actually lag up the game as much as some people may thing. Alpha channels and particle systems are the things that will really slow up the game. And yes, BFME II corsairs work fine, with no lag (for me) while they are very high poly for a unit.

[|MeMw|Elessar]

yes but if all the units in bfme 1 were that size it would cause lag for people with lower end comps

[Master Windu]

This isnt for BFME I. Its for BFME II. Same with the Fall of Numenor mod. BFME II fits the style of both mods much better than BFME. And hopefully today for FON I will post an update of all new elven units (completely reskinned Celebrimbor, completely reskinned Thranduil, and a couple new units).

[Master Windu]

Well, I made a Boromir and got him ingame CORRECTLY (as you'll see in the BFME II modding section). Hope you like it. I even took the time to make his underwrist correct. I'm very open to suggestions as I dont like the blue leather tunic or the embroidery on it.

[Nazzie]

*drools* im srry but is there any like time that you may release him i mean even if it was just a mod where it added him i would download it sooo fast!

[|MeMw|Elessar]

wow its breathtaking really good lookin!

[Cobra]

wow, tis very nice. i really luv the vambraces lol

[Mullers_11]

Realism throughout there Windu!

Maybe a little latch on his lower arm pieces on the two connected parts

[morgoth946]

Wow, awesome!! The skin of his arms is from the create hero , anyways, very good.

[LadyRhiea]

WOW that's amazing!! I always wanted to make a good Boromir skin but couldn't find a photo which had proper lighting for his face! THIS IS AMAZING! By the way I think Boromir is almost as sexy as Aragorn...o.o...I..want! I WANT I WANT I WANT!!! *huggles computer screen* Borimir all mine!

[Master Windu]

I'll release all of my Gondor stuff that I have made so far once I get them all ingame and animated right. I might even continue that and make a small reskin and rebalance mod.

[Master Windu]

Just wondering.....any special requests? All I have to do is make the rohan stuff, then the hobbits, then I will release a MOTW reskin minimod. If you would like some random hero for me to make (e.g. Beregond) just ask. I will get it done earlier if you dont though so.....

[Kwen]

i was wondering, are you interested in a change of style? i would like to know if you would make a achilles skin, (based on the character *brad pitt* in troy)

[Bebbe]

Holy crapalony !
Thats amazing ,, where do you find your material ?
