Age of Empires 3 mod

I spent of couple of days learning how to mod age of empires 3 and modelled some siege units. I decided to recreate Age of Empires 1 and have converted and created the units for the majority of the units using existing graphics.




There were no suitable existing graphics for the Siege units, priests and chariots.  So I decided to have a go at creating the siege units and have so far modelled and unwrapped the three siege units shown below. I decided I would use the original Roman word for classic as the title forth mod, which turned out to be classicus. Since Rome is one of the most well known empires of the ancient world and the main setting for the expansion "The rise of Rome" :)


As well as the 3D models and units, I've also began creating the first civilization but have ran into a few issues with the civilization I create being playable. Hopefully once I've resolved these  I can move onto creating the technologies and import the siege units for a playable release.

Creative Assembly competition - Trebuchet progress 2

Nearly finished texturing and unwrapping, just have to create a specular and normals texture for my iron joints/bolts and fix a few minor UVW issues. Then I'll be looking over the assets and figuring out what more I can do add to it before putting together a presentation sheet for the competition entry. Below is a render of  the trebuchet.

Creative Assembly competition - Trebuchet progress

Currently unwrapping and texturing the trebuchet and it is coming along well so far. I've created a seemless wood beam material with diffuse, specular and normals. I will be creating a sling net, rope and metal buckle textures on a seperate material once all the wood beam sections have been unwrapped. Below are two work in progress renders of the trebuchet.
