[WIP][Infantry SHP]Sword-wielding infantry

Trans_C

Because Kenosis cannot stand the idea of misusing Touhou character in a mod totally unrelated to it, perhaps this SHP won't be released.
So it's just for showing off.
Any comment?

The lighting looks a bit "blocky" or sharp.
Even on the round body, there is a hard line between lighted and shadowed areas. Usually there would be a smooth transition from polygons facing directly towards the camera and those which are facing away from it. (e.g. lighted unit side and shadowed unit front)

Thus the unit looks very flat colored/lighted ingame and lacks depth.

I use Ink'n Paint texture on this model to create a cartoon-ish effect. Maybe this is why it lacks contrast...I'll try other options.
And how about the movements? Are they natural?(Perhaps this is much more important since toying with textures and lightings is much easier than adjusting bones)

Here's the new gif with modified lighting and texture.
To make the difference more visible I rendered it 1.5 times the original size.

Change the color and hairdo.

Ta-dah.

lighting looks a bit better, but imo the contrast could be raised to match better other/original ingame art.

Animations look excellent to me. Nice fluid and realistic. I like the subtle body weight shifting when attacking.

Attack should be a sweeping slash to sheath to match the running animation in my opinion, but very good animation over all.

Made some tweaks on the walking animation to get a more natural feeling.

Sometimes this sperm-like thing is depicted as a solid "sperm". sometimes however it's shown as a glowing white orb. But anyway it's a part of the character thus necessary.

btw these two forms below are from a same game so hell knows which one is more appropriate but since there is no transparency in infantry SHPs so...screw it.

is this a redo of the http://www.ppmforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=39605 as this thread is newer than that one. but has a shp to download.

on a related note im looking for an original shp of a melee infantry. currently using covelite by icedragon as the tekka shp doesnt have atk anims i like. theres the ninja conversion from ra3. and theres holy masters infantry gif that no one has converted to shp in over. theres a few melee veicles , aka mechs like the ronin but doesnt scratch my itch.
Edit. does anyone have an example guide rules to the http://www.ppmforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=39605. imported her to ts cant get slash anim to show
