HapSlash Posted March 31, 2004 Author Posted March 31, 2004 Originally posted by TK-8252 What rank skins would you plan on giving the three officer NPCs? IMO, the NCO could be the Imperial, the sub-lieutenant could be the ImpOfficer, and, well, I think you could guess what rank the Imp*Commander* would be. I don't think that a lot of people out there are quite ready for NCO's, so I'll probably start them out with the sub-lieutenant, lieutenant, and captain. I'll include the other ranks for those who want to set it up as they see fit, but I'll probably just go with those as the defaults,...
AlphaleX Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Excellent, but the ImpOfficer, what color will be? Here's are pics of the rank of the sub-lieutenant, lieutenant and captain : Sub-Lieutenant http://www.theforce.net/swtc/Pix/cards/ccg/tanbris.jpg Lieutenant: http://www.emperors-imperial-army.8m.com/EIA/Images/Ranks/Lieutenant.jpg Captain: http://www.emperors-imperial-army.8m.com/EIA/Images/Ranks/Colonel.jpg
TK-8252 Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 Originally posted by AlphaleX Excellent, but the ImpOfficer, what color will be? Imperial (sub-lieutenant) = black; ImpOfficer (lieutenant) = gray; ImpCommander (captain, Hap, why not commander?) = gray. Originally posted by AlphaleX Lieutenant: http://www.emperors-imperial-army.8m.com/EIA/Images/Ranks/Lieutenant.jpg Uh, that's not the rank of a lieutenant. Only one code cylinder, on the right. See Lieutenant Cabbel:
HapSlash Posted April 1, 2004 Author Posted April 1, 2004 Sorry, I was meaning commander, but I didn't think that most people would know how to identify the rank, so I just said the more commonly on-screen captain. Here's how the three will probably look, with the exception of veers' face on the last one, in two different jpg sizes,... 119KB - 1000x500 30KB - 640x320
AlphaleX Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 NOOOOOOOO!!!!! I can't wait!!!!!it's very excellent!!!!!! What rest to do, Hap? !!!!I Cant Wait For The Release!!!! I imagine, a post by hap that says: Released, get it at http://www.pcgamemods/X number.....
HapSlash Posted April 2, 2004 Author Posted April 2, 2004 Unfortunately the model still needs to be weighted. And due to the number of additions I've made over the last 10 days I've got to go back and redo several of the lods as well,...
AlphaleX Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 Ah ok, but the base model and the parts....are complete? And the weight how can hold up?
AlphaleX Posted April 3, 2004 Posted April 3, 2004 Hey Hap, i see your clonetrooper is amazing, is the best clonetrooper i ve seen out there.
TK-8252 Posted April 3, 2004 Posted April 3, 2004 Dude... he'll release the officers when they're done... what's the point of questioning every single stage the model is in? Gosh, let the man be...
TK-8252 Posted April 5, 2004 Posted April 5, 2004 He's doing lods and weighting. This is the long stretch where you get no updates until the faithful day he gets him in-game. So please, be patient.
HapSlash Posted April 5, 2004 Author Posted April 5, 2004 Yeah me too, I've been waiting forever! I want it done NOW!!! Uh,... Wait a minute,...!?
Methos007 Posted April 6, 2004 Posted April 6, 2004 Originally posted by AlphaleX Any updates? You appologize and then ask for updates 11 hours later...Like TK said, let him be, it will be done when it's done.
HapSlash Posted April 22, 2004 Author Posted April 22, 2004 I finished the lods last week, but never bothered to post about them. Here's an animated gif showing the different LODs as they appear in 3DSmax. It's ready to be weighted, and I sent it over to IB so he could get started on it. I'm hoping to get something done soon, but nothing's happened so far. As soon as I know that the weighting is getting done I'll probably start a new thread for my next project.
OB1 KNOB Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 If you don't mind me asking, did you cut down the model and make the LOD's manually or did you use a plugin like "Polychop" (If that's the right name) for example? Also, what are the polycounts on the highest and lowest LOD's? (Again if you don't mind me asking.) Thanks! It looks amazing. Another great model from HapSlash!
AlphaleX Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 It's.......it's........very......it's........very.......excellent..........hap........great modeler........nobody can equalize you.
HapSlash Posted April 22, 2004 Author Posted April 22, 2004 I've been doing it manually, but I've been told polychop works well,... I used it once and wasn't completely satisfied with the results. Here are the LOD counts for the basic mesh with the 2x4 rank badge. I've excluded the extra belt boxes and holster in these numbers. LOD 0 - 2713 LOD 1 - 2051 LOD 2 - 1095 LOD 3 - 607 In the end the new model basically works out to about 200 polys per LOD more than the default model. But, I think the tradeoff in detail is probably worth it.

AlphaleX Posted May 13, 2004 Posted May 13, 2004 I have some recent info, Hap recently got back word from Infinity Blade that the Imperial Officer has been held up due to some emergency film editing he's had to get done. It may be at least a week before he can get to it, so it sounds like the Imperial Officer may be delayed for another 2 weeks.
