ksk h2o Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 Darth Malak The modelling is just about all done (besides some minor tweaks) on Darth Malak. Still need to map, skin and weigh the puppy. This model is part of my grayfox2 project. What is the gf2 project... it is a series of models formed from my old grayfox model (such as darth malak) and also weapons models to go with these characters (grayfox's katana, etc). The models will be a custom model type (like the ones in SP) where you will be able to select one of multipe heads, torsos and legs (so yea you will be able to have malak's head on fox and any other body type from the other characters mixed together). I'll update malak's progress seperately since he seems to draw a lot of attention. I'll be making a thread on the GF2 project once it is past a certain point in progress. Cheers, ksk
CaladienJedi Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 KSK LIVES!!! (btw, its me maximus). Wow, nice job dude. Looks pretty awesome. Is there gonna be a version of malak were the thing around his neck is off? If i remember there was a part they showed were he had it off in KoToR and his jaw was missing. Heres a good pic, if ya need it http://www.starwarsknights.com/images/Malak_desk_1280.bmp
Hellfire Jedi Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 Welcome back ksk. Would you perhaps, allow me to beta test this, like gray fox? I'd certainly love that. Also, thanks, i was going to request this today, and you posted a wip. Thank ye. EDIT: I'm looking over the model, and the proporsions aren't exactly right, his shoulders are more broad than that. The fingers in the game were quite long to boot.
ksk h2o Posted January 17, 2004 Author Posted January 17, 2004 Hi guys, thanks for the fast replies. Nice to see some familiar people after so long! It's been a long time Caladien... Yes malak's mask does come off. Here's a screen shot of it close up on and off: Hi hellfire, I've mostly been luring around lately. You're right about his shoulders being broader in the kotor game. I don't quite like the body proportions the KOTOR model has since it gives him anatomically impossible width shoulders, skinny legs and arms. I some of the few things I was planning on tweaking was his chest (it is a litle flatter and the pectorals are more of one unique shape rather than being able to see each one as you can right now. I'll beef up his shoulders a bit more but not so much as to make him look weird. His hands are there to stay though since I'm going to have a hell of a time weighing in this model (it's part of a multi model pack you see) and I think his cape and belt are going to give me a hard enough time without dealing with longer fingers than normal. I do need some shcreen shots other than the ones available online and I do not want to play through kotor once again to get some cloe up screenshots. The only saves I have in the game are towards the end and I exploited the ending scene images of malak as much as I could. Some other screenies of him close up on his face, body and especially the sceenhot of him without his mask would be great. I modeled the lower portion of his face from what I could remember (top teeth remaining and basically no chin, no lips etc). But it woul dbe nice to see what that mechanic throat looked like so I can include it in the skin.
Hellfire Jedi Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 Yeah, its certainly looking good though. I hope you let me beta test him(them?).
CaladienJedi Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 Very cool. The model looks great. The only thing missing on the face is the small voice box he had. It should be right in the middle of the mouth.(under the teeth somewhat...). Awesome model ksk
Zappa_0 Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 Woah, looks like you have got a good start on Melak. It looks awesome, cant wait to see more pics of him later on.
TpS_Thermal Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 hi im a new account here but i love ur model and id like to offer any assistance in skinning.. i think wat you have done so far is amazing but i would like to see his shoulders large his eyebrows angled down to make him more intimidating ok just my sugestions (lol cant spell) so if u need a skinner e-mail me @ TpS_Thermal@msn.com ok ttyl! bye
Crowy Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 in addittion to the darth malak and maskless one will you include one of him as a jedi like what you see in the star forge visions??
Zappa_0 Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 Good question Crowy...a very good question indeed.
ksk h2o Posted January 18, 2004 Author Posted January 18, 2004 I've modified the upper chest and shoulders to make them larger. Although the screenshots don't make the shoulders look broad, they are quite large right now. I think you'll have a better view once he is in game. Thermal, you're skinning offer is well appreciated. I'm not much of a skinner myself. I was going to use the screen shots and images of him that I already had to put together a skin. I will definitely need some help either with this or some of the other models in the pack. As for the Jedi Malak... well... I would need to see screenshots of him that way once again. One of the torso's of the model pack is wearing some sort of armor and has that high collar thing around the neck that Jedi Malak had. The model pack already has 5 torso's/legs and quite a few heads. If one of them can't really make it to being Jedi malak, I don't think I'll be making a 6th model in the pack for Jedi malak. I'll post screenshots of the other models under a new thread soon.
Ibonek Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 wow looks great put a link to dowload pagehen its dont.
DarkLord60 Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 That would be alot to do A whole KotR TC yikes!
Zappa_0 Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 True that would be hard to do and take alot of time. But you also have to see what is possible and whats not.
Casper Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 Yeah start by making a recreation of taris. and your on your way.
Zappa_0 Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 Yea Taris was pretty big and a long map to finish, I think it would be something like a Coruscant map but more color.
Casper Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 No taris has differant arcutecture then coruscant. Most of them are curved upwards.Plus the texturing is way differant then coruscant. It's more of a blueish. But If somebody made Manaan. It would be the best TC ever.
