i<3FANTA Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Just wondered if anyone knew of, or was capable of creating a replacement hand for a PC character? Similar to that which Anakin has in Revenge of the Sith. Even just a coloured glove on one of the pc's hands would be pretty useful, if only for aesthetics. Thanks in advance guys.

TriggerGod Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Someone would have to lose a hand similar to what happened to Kreia in TSL. No one does in K1. You'd have to create a new animation for when that happens. Then you could get the new hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i<3FANTA Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 An animation wouldn't really be necessary, I was just wondering if the pc model could be replaced with a recolored hand or something just for aesthetics. Quality avatar btw, one of the best albums ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papership Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Just extract the tga image of your favourite armour/robe. Colour one arm silver. Put the edited .tga into override, and Qui-Gon's your uncle! When you equip that armour your arm will look like metal! Note: This will only work if it's an asymmetrical item - ie the .tga has the whole item drawn (as oppose to drawing only one half of the image that is mirrored to colour both sides of the armour). If it's a .tga that mirrors, then you will have 2 silver arms! I believe all jedi robes have the whole robe drawn in .tga, so any of those will work. ~Paps~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartanPride Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I think he wants it a bit more complicated than just a plain silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papership Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Okey, maybe ‘colour it silver’ was an oversimplification ^.^ However, the method will work. The arm can of course have on much or as little detail as he wishes. Maybe colour the arm black, then draw silver 'bones' and 'joints' along it. This would give the visual impression of a robotic arm with shadowy voids between the structures. It would look very authentic. Short of creating a whole new body model, and whole new skins to match for every item, I think a reskin is the way to go. I'd offer, but you need an artist for this one. ~Paper~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robespierre Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 ^^^ You speak the truth. Just out of interest: in K2 when Kreia loses her hand, there are numerous mods (I believe USM allows you to) which have the option to replace it with a mechanical hand. Now is this hand a reskin using the aforementioned method (obviously using the two-handed Kreia as a base)? Or something more sinister? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
