Workshop: Unit Cards

[ahowl11]

Started UI's today. Starting to get the hang of it

Principes

[Skull]

Damn! Those textures are sweet!

Nice unit cards too. I applauded.

[Jubal]

Yay! Pretty pictures! 

[ahowl11]

Three Units down, many many more to go!

Triarii


Roman Archers

[Jubal]

Nice work - the variant shield designs are a neat touch! 

[ahowl11]

Just a reminder, I am only responsible for the UI's.
The Roman units were made by Ferres and Godzilla from twc

[Jubal]

Ah, fair enough. Still nice shots

[ahowl11]

So at the end of this I will have 436 Unit cards made..... Could really use a hand lol

[Jubal]

I know the feeling :/ Coursework still really dominating my life sadly (and I make UI cards mostly via ingame screenshots anyway, which is less neat/standardised than the ones you're doing).

[comrade_general]

Getting a good start though.

Just one question: how come there weren't UI's already made for these textures?

[ahowl11]

There are some but some of the animations are old  and some of the quality is not that great.
If I didn't care about how things looked so much, I'd have 75% of the UI's in and would only have to make a few to finish things up.

Then again, I hate doing these.. I'll think about it and maybe we will have a release sooner than later haha

[ahowl11]

Okay I have made a decision.

I will use previously made UI's where I can. A lot of stuff will be changing anyways so it would be a waste of time and effort making UI's for every unit

[Bercor]

So here is a preview of the first three unit cards I ever did in my life:



There's tiny differences in the position because I, stupidly, went back and forth to render those small pics so I had to reposition by eye (it will not happen again).

Don't be to harsh now.

[Skull]

Nice!
I applauded.

[Jubal]

Yeah, those are very much up to scratch.

Always remember with these things that in general you are the person most likely to see things you get wrong; average users are unlikely to notice or care.
