Kainzorus Prime Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I like it, but I think it would look better on heavy armor Imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draconus333 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 if you have some time, there are ways to raise the cape up/ extend it, although that could take a while. ive seen it done, but i dont know how to do it myself yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 Thanks for the nice comments everyone. My monitor at home is a bit fugged in the brightness department, so the screenshots are a little off. IMO it looks better ingame... I like it, but I think it would look better on heavy armor Imo.But it doesn't have the cape, so I felt this model was the best compromise. Btw. Could u perhaps also release the head?It uses someone elses model that removes the goatee part on his chin, so I would have to dig out who did it and ask for permission to release that as well as my skin. Or if anyone knows offhand who did it... if you have some time, there are ways to raise the cape up/ extend it, although that could take a while. ive seen it done, but i dont know how to do it myself yet...I don't know how to do it either, and I currently don't have modeling software on my machine. But I'm open to anyone else that wants to take a stab at it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord ignarn Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I actually like it a lot, yes. It looks fine for some darkside oriented character. Keep going with it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Down Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I believe that the head model was edited by Maverick. - Ghost Down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if anyone knows offhand who did it...I think the head you are using is the one with the model that I removed the "billy-goat chin" from, and as far as I'm concerned you can do anything you want with it Prime, re-release with your skin, whatever you wish... but only cause I like you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kampher Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 That looks great prime. All it really need's is the cape to be complete. It's a shame we can't add in the nice shoulder pauldrons as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm open to anyone else that wants to take a stab at it... I just asked my friend how to, and he showed me how, so if you ever release this, I could probably do it... no guarantees tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth InSidious Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 @Prime: The Sith Lord model in-game has a longer butt-cape : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I think DarthInSidious is right: the Sith Lord model has a longer cape, and in my opinion would look much better for what you are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthcarth Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 IT would look cool but those sith lord body models just look a bit to thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucied Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 i agree the sith lord models are waaaay to thin i mean none of them look right with the heads in my opinion unless somehow you can bulk up the model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 Yeah, I had looked at that model and felt it was too "frail". Considering how far along I am with the current model, I don't really feel like starting over anyway. So you guys are stuck with this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 Just a few tweeks left for the armour. I'll get some screenshots up soon. First question: since the model deviates somewhat from what these knights wear already, should I make the pants "darth vader pants" like the arms, or leave it as is? I'm waffling. On one hand, I do like to stay as close to the canon item as possible, but on the other I think vader pants would look better. Thinking about the lightsaber, I'm wondering if there is a model out there that closely resembles their sabers... If not, I'll just reskin the default model. I'm also wondering about the opinion of people in regards to the saber. Imperial Knights all use identical unmodified lightsabers. I had thought of removing the upgradable property and just making a powerful saber. Would this be too much of an annoyance to players? Or should I do something like an "Imperial Knight Lightsaber Crystal." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Zionosis Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I think it will definetly be anoying to the players, i personly love to upgrade sabers, but i like the "Imperial Knight Lightsaber Crystal" idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunSolo Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 just my 2 cents thrown in here; bout the panties.. what bout a compromise? some black/brownish thingy, somwhere midway between these two options and just call them "new" like they just left the factory? and for the lightsaber... i like the idea with the crystal too, but hmmm... a new hilt would be cool as well, since it would look better then just a white crystal in a standard saber hilt... plus we all know ur detailed-perfectionsts work already done, so.... guess around what id like to see, haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 As I have little to no intelligence on the matter of pants and how they should or should not look, I'll offer my opinion solely on the saber. According to the picture of the saber you've shown, I'm not readily familiar with a model already made that resembles it, but at the same time it appears to be the most basic of models. In my humble opinion I think that a modeler would not require much experience to be able to model that saber. I would offer to do it for you Prime, but simple fact of the matter is that at the moment I have very little free time. That being said, I'm sure someone out there could whip it out in a couple hours tops, and if not I think you should take a shot at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maul 2112 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 that picture resembles qui-gon's saber i have seen a saber hilt mod out there somewhere for his, it was in filefront...i think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 The armour skin is pretty much finished, although I always end up tweeking more at the end. I am going to include the more "correct" brown version as well as a more asthetically pleasing (IMO) black version. Hopefully you can see the difference between these... Black Imperial Knight Robes Brown Imperial Knight Robes As someone asked for earlier, I'm thinking of adding some armour plating colour variants as well, which is easy enough to do. But I'll probably put in the description that these are frowned upon by the knights. Thoughts or comments on these? Also, IIRC once upon a time there was a mod that took the default lightsaber model and removed the reflection. Does anyone know if that is still floating around? Was this only in KOTOR?
