:USA:Hefe(I) Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Ok here's the concept model: Now I'm kinda runnin dry on ideas for textures. Every thing I try seems lame to me LOL! I was also thinkin of putting a sphere at the back of the hilt with spikes coming off it but I don't know? I'm outa ideas maybe one of you all can give me the kick in the head I need:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T7nowhere Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Spikes have been done for many new models already. I think that model looks good it just needs a texture to go with it. Just because a sith is evil doesn't mean their saber has to reflect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackel Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 What about having a hand guard ? ie like trail bikes ? ======= -- hilt \-----------/ -- hand guard Obviously better designed then what i just did above But maybe something sytlised with a sith desigh on it ?

Mav Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Ummm something evil? no, but seriously I don't know it's hard to come up with a texture for that model, it's a good looking model, but my texture inspirations usually come while I'm modeling, but I guess I would have a mix of black, red and of course the "shiny" metal on that hilt.

T7nowhere Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 The render looks good, But all the detail on the model is almost pointless sinse the texture is all black. imo you could have gotten the same effect with a much lower poly model and noone would have noticed.

Mav Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I like it, although, T7 is right it is a shame you can't really notice it in all it's glory in-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:USA:Hefe(I) Posted February 12, 2005 Author Share Posted February 12, 2005 Really the screenshot of the in games are bad if you play at 1280X1024 with 2xAA and full AF you can see the detail. And yeah I could have lower polyed it but, If I dont have to low poly it then I wont:) Its not like Jedi Academy when you go over 1600 polys a opengl warning pops up and says to many faces blah blah! Plus I learn new ways to do things all the time that cuts down on polys but still looks good. Plus with nice renders I've noticed you tend to get more downloads:) Oh yeah my forums http://s8.invisionfree.com/Hefe_Mods/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Sweet looking hilt (as usual)... nice robe too hehe If you're looking for something to 'oomph' it up without going through a complete re-texture, or worse, re-model... You could always strengthen the alpha on the ribs (grip) of the hilt. Just a slight upper strength alpha stroke say on every other rib would give you a nifty banded look without going through any major hassles. Let the shaders do the work for you In any case, it's still a fine looking saber to add to anyone's collection (it'll definitely be in mine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Smaug Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 with colors? it's nice!! good job... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaliban Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 This is what I would do. You might like it for a variation. Black for the emitter, silver for the raised sections. Silver for the central portion, black for the rings. Silver for the base, black for the raised grips. It reminds me a lot of the Mara Jade lightsaber, Jeffrey Parks version.
