Many people complain that the JA Luke looks too old well heres a news flash for ya kids he is older in JA so this isn't an improved Luke its a younger version. As the title says he will need weighting and I'm hoping to find someone before I go any further so I don't waste any of my time I could use towards school. I will only give you a head shot, I have the rest almost done and hopefully I will make skins for all his outfits, the skins out there right now will work for most of it cuz I'm using the luke model as a base. Please ignore the badness hair right now I will explain my thinking after the pic: Ok about the hair, Luke's got shaggy hair but on the default model is just a puffy lump ball on his head, on my model this is what I have done: -I duplicated his hair -I scaled it larger that the default head My plan is to use a .png for transparencey (which doesnt show up in max and thats why it looks so bad) and have a layer of hair and then his head, it works in theory and I hope it will look good otherwise the whole model really wont be a whole lot more than a slight reshaping of the default luke. Thats another reason why I'd like a volunteer for weighting asap. (If the transparency of the hair needs more than just a .png will someone please tell me, I looked through such files as ragnos and thats the only thing I saw that was different about the file and the only indicator on how to do it)
RaSiN_HeCk Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 his eyes and mouth make him still look old.
Matt-Liell Posted September 27, 2004 Author Posted September 27, 2004 Originally posted by Mongo05 i will weigh it Thanks! I will finish up the model and will probably get it to you later this week. Perhaps you would be interested in doing Tavion too if not hey Lukes great!
Mongo05 Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 lol ok, if you want heres my msn and aim aim: MonGo1337 msn: TDSmongo@hotmail.com
Hellfire Jedi Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 he has the same hair as me! holy wtf, straight up jedi hacks. looks good matt, keep chuggin'.
Matt-Liell Posted September 27, 2004 Author Posted September 27, 2004 I got the long hair meself, itll be good for a generic log haired guy too. Done a bit more
iron_knuckle Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 is it just me or does the original jk3 luke look drunk in that first pic?!
Miko Reglia Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Looking pretty good! However I'd like to point out that Luke's hair style does change a bit in each of the movies just a little.
Antizac Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Dude! It's so 70's - It's perfect, I love it! And the slight changes you made to his nose - looks more like him. (By the way - select the face, and weld the vertices, around his nose, so you don't have that ugly outline around it.) =)

Also you did some of the nicest hair work with your leela model and I was wondering if using .png's was all you did with her hair.
Matt-Liell Posted September 28, 2004 Author Posted September 28, 2004 Heres some updates The follow body skin were not done by me they include the default luke JA costume which I will be editing, Hapslashs bespin Luke and Alphan_Jijua's ANH Luke. Heres how hes looking right now
Matt-Liell Posted October 1, 2004 Author Posted October 1, 2004 I have made 3 layers of hair, 1 outer the 1 in between the outer and the head. I hope the effect will work as I can't test it till its weighted, any comments or help making the hair and improving the model are welcome.
RJW_ca Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 I can hep you skin and add Mark Hamill sounds to him I have worked on a ROTJ Luke Skin Myself contact me on MSN for pic's and maybe we can work together on this I always wanted a good look RJW_ca
Miko Reglia Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 Wow, the famous RJW makes his appearance once again... Anyway, the models look good...except the Bespin Luke isn't supposed to have the "skirt" and the ROTJ Luke looks just like the default one from JKA, but I don't know if you were going to change that or not...
Hekx Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 For the transparency to work, I believe JA uses great use of "Alpha Channels" with PNG and TGA being the two supported formats for the technique. Do a little research on alpha channels, it is used in a variety of gaming areas such as HUDs to map textures. The model is looking good so far, you can also do the Endor Poncho Luke:
Matt-Liell Posted October 2, 2004 Author Posted October 2, 2004 Ok I have some ideas here that I need answers to: I want to add a bunch of new stuff to the model but most of it will only be used on 1 single style of luke (eg. the poncho for endor luke, the stormtrooper belt for that style and no skirted pants for bespin), is there a way other than doing nodraw in the .skin file to only use certain parts of the model like Raven did with Jaden so the polycount isn't crazy?
Zappa_0 Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 Looking really good matt, this is gonna be a great addition to the community.
LightNinja Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 it is really nice but, the ROTJ luke shouldn't look young?, you could add the default luke head too and do a kinda customizable luke
Matt-Liell Posted October 2, 2004 Author Posted October 2, 2004 Originally posted by LightNinja it is really nice but, the ROTJ luke shouldn't look young?, you could add the default luke head too and do a kinda customizable luke No he wont look young, I'm keeping my head on it for the hair effect but the with the face skin I will make him look a bit older, the thread name is a little unappropriate now. I guess it should be called "Matt's Original Trilogy Luke Pack" or something. Updates: Ok working under the assumption I can make luke like Jaden and use different model parts for different looking Lukes I have eliminated the problem with the Bespin skirt, as good as a job Hap did with the skin on the Jedi model, it never really screamed Lukes face to me, now my version of Luke you will be able to switch between skirt for Tatooin and ROTJ and no skirt for besbin, and Endor and otehr skins, it give it alot better skinability for new skins too.
Johch Ai'oki Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 Although Luke was older a bit on RotJ, he didn't look as old as he does in JO and JA... These Luke skins are very nice. I didn't mind the "skirt" part of Luke's Bespin outfit I forgot never existed. What I did mind is the JO/JA outfit being announced as the RotJ outfit when it wasn't. It's still good though...

What I did mind is the JO/JA outfit being announced as the RotJ outfit when it wasn't. It's still good though... Hes not gonna be middle aged in my skin just a little bit older,and I'm going to change the ROTJ outfit, but I'm just using the JA outfit as a base as it is quite similar so don't worry.
Miko Reglia Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Looking good, but I dunno if its just me, but doesn't it seem like Luke's haircut changes a tiny bit with each movie? Like it starts from long, and gets shorter... I dunno, its just something I noticed from pictures.
MadCow1989 Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 how about Create your own luke like Darth Kitty's Snake model pack create your own luke !
