Ahh, okayOriginally Posted by Rost3DSprites
- I thought you had exclusive access to the animation files (.xac)? Wouldn't it be possible to use the halberd animation from the old vanilla renaissance units (those with the morion and halberd/nardiche thingy)?
Otherwise, I do still appreciate the uniform and all your hard work - thanks.
The access is not the problem... The new files are having some more bones than the old ones have. The bone structure is different to the structure of the old ones.... (more bones, better animations) and it would take long time to convert the animations from the old files to the new ones. It would be easier to make a complete new animation, but like said before this would take its time and we would have to make new animations for the spritepacks for western Anno 1400 spritepack, too....
Great stuff. I only do not like the Burgundian medieval sprite. Really it looks too "poor", too simple, too vanilla for the most brilliant knights of Europe of all times! May be some corrections like this one?

Oh, simply fantastic!
Where to buy this one?
Im no artist or anything like that, but in my humble opinion some of your 3D models (or sprites as people call them on this forum) seem to be too thin, specially in torso, they look like starving men who dressed up as soldiers. Remember that bellow heraldic tunic, most of these men wear either mail armor or some sort of plate armor, and even bellow that several layers of woolen tunic/shirts etc. There is no way they can be so thin (torso area specially).
Secondly, most of these models should have spears (bardiche in the east) instead of swords (specially these swords that look like nordic ones, if you really want swords then make them longswords/broadswords or even bastard swords) since spears were much more common weapon, sword was more like toys for nobility.
This is a quick draw of what id like to see:
A typical medieval sargent armed with spear and shield, wearing heraldic tunic over full plate armor with shoulder guards and traveling mail coif (some kind of helmet could be added instead, great helmet or whatever). Central field on the front side contains area for heraldic amblem (cross in this case) while the shield could be painted by country's colors. I drew this in about 5 mins so dont be too harsh (like i said im not an artist) but if you like this i can make more.
So comrades come, gather, last battle let us face, the Internationale unites the human race!

I think he's rather sexyI see what you're saying, but don't expect stubborn Paradox to make any changes, or at least anytime soon.
Real WWM heads show up on the weekend and let Hafte do all the work.

Cry Havoc!, and let loose the dogs of Warsaw.
Are you making new sprites for Poland and other Central Europeans? If yes, could we see them?
"Our forebears were contented with salty and fetid fishes. But we come for the fresh ones, still thriving in the ocean!
Our fathers were contented when they were storming burghs. But we ain't scared by sea storms or the fearsome waves!
Our fathers were contented when they were hunting deers. And we are hunting treasures and monsters that hide deep in the ocean!"
"On the conquest of the sea coast" - Polish song from 11th century.
I have purchased the two sprite kits you have released and they are great!
Now you are talking about adding to these will this be as a free upgrade or a new retail release?
Stand-alone product.
it wouldn't be an "upgrade" as they are different sprites for different units. If there was something wrong with an existing sprite you might expect a free "upgrade" (fix), but not otherwise.
Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death .... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man. Bertrand Russell
In my opinion, there is something wrong with the original sprites. They are very ugly!
I like the new sprites in the sprite pack, because a Knight usually lead an army. But I want more sprite packs for the other eras, I think they could be purddyed up too.
^ very much agreed; i love these packs.
has any time-frame been mentioned as to when we can expect the next set(s)?
That's fine, you should be rewarded for your hard work! Please make sure you make enough noise on the forum when you next pack is released and I will purchase it!
Let me advice on the uniforms of Spanish tercio (c. s. XVI):
you can choose!
and other advice on the uniforms of the imperial armies or pikeman
When can we expect some new sprite packs?
I thought they said it had gone gold? Guess they announce it the same day it hits Gamersgate. Hopefully very, very soon!
Ottoman sprites would be great too ..
I wonder if they have any sprite for the condotta armies in Renaissance Italy. They had really beautiful armors, and were colorful.
+1Ottoman sprites would be great too ..
And Mughal ones please
