Guys first things first. To make the unit cards one needs to finish the unit skins and thats really our problem right now. If we have the skins we can make the unit cards. I can do the cards, but we need someone to do the skins. Vuk has his hands pretty tied up as it seems so we will need someone with nice photoshop skills to take up from where Vuk left it. Sometime before Fili offered to do some skinning work, it would be nice if he did the Chachapoyas. If we have the skins then the unit cards will be easy. So the skins are top priority About the portraits i can send you head models on 3dmax, not very detailed though, and you can skin them too. If that works and someone can do it i can start sending them by tommorow, just tell me ok?

My my, this forum has been quite of late. Where the hell is Rex? And hasnt Vuk finished fixing his house yet?
Anyway, Fili, you don't need RTW installed to skin, only to test. In the search for a 2D artist I think it is fair to say that we need a skinner. Mel has finished the models, but they are just sitting there collecting dust and freezing cold without skins.
My skinning ability is fair to say the least, but even if I finish the strat map I have a lot coding work ahead of me to get the battle maps to work right. So, I can't even offer. We need more help in this area now.

Dont worry about the models getting dust, i update them constantly. But the thing is that we sure need a skinner. I even though of telling Caius to take the map from here and leave you Rah with the skinning, but thats totally up to you, i dont suggest anything. Im sure that sooner or later a skinner will come this way

could I have a try at some of the Mayan models, one at a time? I took a look at this and I think I will do alright but I have no models to work on. Another thing, what will I see what there's a blank model without a skin? will the screen be blank? how will I know where to apply color and texture? if I know this I will be allset, I am sure I can experiment and if it comes out good then i will be very happy - I'm sure ya'll would be as well and it'll be good practice for my M2TW kingdoms Mayan mod since skinning hasn't changed much EDIT: shall I reskin a vanilla RTW model and show you guys before proceeding?

No, go ahead, feel free to test with the models. It is very simple to skin one. You will know where to skin because the faces of the model are very clear and established in a plain drawing. Besides, all non-skinnable parts are in black. The Skinnable part is in whinte.

Yes, they are in the mods email. Just plug in the cas file and the blank tga file, and start altering it.

I found someone interested in helping with the skins, he is a graphic designer and technical drawer who works with me. Unfortunately, he wont be available until sometime next month. We will see where we are at at that point and I'll let him know if we still need him. Until then, I will hound him with the hope that he may be able to do one or two perhaps mercenary units for us in his spare time.
