Need help making a model! Model noob doesn't know where to start!

[Scenariole]

That is the concept above^^

Could someone make a model for him? I only need him walking, standing and attacking. 1 attacking animation is jabbing the foe with his 2 hands with the spear and the other is throwing the spear like a javelin.

Thanks very much.

Also I know that Blender's interface is complex and is what makes it powerful, its just... its too powerful, I cannot even handle learning it because it is too complex...

All I can do it pretty much remove the swordsman's shield in blender...

You should really use the Glest Guide tutorial.  Here it is:
http://glest.110mb.com/blender_tutorial1.php

Also, for a better spear, try my blender weapons cache.  You can find all kinds of weapons and armor stuffs there.  I really think you should use the Cruel Spear in the fantasy weapons blend.  Just go into edit mode, delete everything other than your spear, and use the swordman model already there to start your hunting creature.  It is like a hunting spear, but you could just use the plain spear.  Here is a description of it:

16.   Cruel Spear
Description: Used as an execution weapon mostly, this impractical device causes painful, slow death.

I'll model it, not texture or animate but do the basic model.

[Mark]

Heck, do it if you want, but I will give a good quality model with a texture.  But I suppose Archmage is better qualified because he is home and I can't model at this hotel.

[-Archmage-]

Well Mark you can texture it when you get back, and then I suppose I'll animate it.

How is this?

[Fluffy203]

lmfao you with the these downloads

EDIT: Not too bad, but the uvs for the hood are going to suck , so you might wanna grab all the faces and detach them and rename it hood to mess with the uv's then attack it back to the main model 

[-Archmage-]

Why don't you do it because I do not understand what you mean by "rename it to hood", and I'm in a very bad mood since my mom called.
I was just working on your excavator when my mom called, got me so pissed I closed Blender without saving, and I had done like 40mins of good work.

[Fluffy203]

i was just talking about the uv mapping , but its all good

[Scenariole]

I checked that tutorial but blender is just too powerful for me...

Btw archmage, just what I am looking for! Now all I need to do is make the bone things visible and try to animate them

[-Archmage-]

I'll help if you want.

[Scenariole]

Sure! Luckily both the hunter and the spearman use the same walking animation, dieing animation and the standing animation. except the attacking animation which is different.

[Fluffy203]

yea having the same animations really help alot , deff when just converting the bones then reskinning them =)

[-Archmage-]

Well, I'd just animate something similar for both those two units, but we need to make the animations look different for each unit anyway, so it doesn't get tedious..........

[Scenariole]

there were only hunters during that time... and they had spears and thats it. They usually looked the same with all that fur they have.

I dont think swords existed there. and steel wasn't discovered yet...

they only had wood and stone for their spears...

also I might texture them differently because people will get confused lol

how about the spearman while he is standing, holding his spear with 2 hands?

[Fluffy203]

you are confusing me here scen , what mod are you trying to make something like cavemen? or Indians cause Indians are already done

[Scenariole]

ice age...

ICE AGE IS NOW OFFICIALY TAKEN BY ME and people helping me

[Fluffy203]

I like it good setting 

[Scenariole]

In my mod, everything is going to be hairy muahahahahahahah!!!!!

[-Archmage-]

Well for swords.......lets see...............how about a unit called the stone_fighter which uses a sharpened slab of rock as a weapon.
Also I think this is a mod that should have units weaker than magitech units, but be very easy and quick to produce, this may be difficult to balance, but it will be fun!

For another unit idea: A stone_smasher or something............that swings a heavy bag of rocks, and does a TON of damage.

In my mod, everything is going to be hairy muahahahahahahah!!!!!

Is Hairy Potter going to be in there to? 

[Scenariole]

The spearman will be slightly stronger than the swordsman but attacks slightly slower. Also take note all my units have "organic" armour, meaning that they will get owned quiet easily.

and yes I should consider making these units easier.

though the spearman and the hunter may get owned easily, the ice age faction easily researches strong units such as the mammoth (battlemachine/behemoth) early in the game. which makes this a challenge for the tech

I was thinking of a stone smasher If you are going to be bothered modeling one...

btw hairy potter is going to be there! He is hiding in one of the hoods of my hunters and spearmen so play alot to find him '

EDIT:

Stone fighter should be weak like a daemon and cheap too! thats what I was thinking off

[-Archmage-]

I'll model the stone smasher.

[Scenariole]

So who is going to animate the hunter/spearmen? I was thinking you might after the stone thrower. Also when the hunter/stone thrower attacks I was thinking on using particles to attack or we could just use a model as an attack particle..

[Fluffy203]

well right now i'm still working on my holy empire mod , but i'll model for you easily 

[-Archmage-]

Leave the particle proj's to me. I'm the master of particle effects.
Done the stonesmasher, download link shortly.
