TriggerGod Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Well, I have an update. As you may know from my last progress report (the one with the picture of the twi'lek with heterochromia, once again, wiki it), I said that all/most of the skins made in this mod will be available as a selectable head (along with the backup head function so we don't have any twins running around ). Well, I toyed around with some stuff, and, by combining the two Twin Sun's outfits, I made a underwear/clothing/dancer skin that uses a reskinned white twi'leks outfit (Anything else wouldn't look right, considering her head has white highlights on her face....) with bits of the blue twi'leks clothing. I have yet to figure out what I am going to do for a dancer outfit, but here is what I have so far... Clothing and Underwear skins Her Darkside Transition. Shem style of course (no transitions until the final one). Now, the classic sith eye that she has looks a little green. I plan to change that soon, but right now, I'm working on making my (hopefully) final version of my Inheritor lightsaber. Now, sometimes I find some stuff in TSL's resources that intrigue me. Recently, I found 3 icons that intrigued me enough to make me do them. I told Ferc about these hilts, and we came up with a nickname for these icons; The Mystery Black Sabers. I brought this to the attention of the TSLCR team, and they are thinking about adding this to the list, and letting me (and Ferc) deal with it. Now, what are these files? I believe a visual is in order here... Heres a picture Now you see why we gave it that nickname These icons are quite small... It will be a challenge to replicate them, or make a saber that even remotely resembles them. But we will try. And, these icons are just proof that TSL was rushed and that Obsidian had much bigger plans for TSL then we originally thought (more lightsaber choices then what we have is what I mean, people) And, for my last update... I was bored, so I made a new saber. And before you ask about the poly count... Lets just say this. If you saw it, you'd be surprised. Lets also say that ITS OVER 2000 POLYS! >__> I think until I tone down the polys on this beast, I won't release it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Do all the rings in the texture and you'll wipe out 3/4 of the polys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriggerGod Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 You know? That single saber in the icon picture kinda looks like the Apostle saber at Randomsabers. Which TG already has: Hehe The single saber icon looks like a Count Dooku look a like, and I've been practicing with curved sabers. Trigger are you gona put up pictures of the hilts ive made? Also that head is amazing! I will once I get an idea on what to UV Map them. LoL thats not much of a difference between clothing and underwear... When she removes the clothing she actually cuts off the leg.parts of her trousers with a lightsaber:xp: HK-50 did it for some odd reason But in all seriousness, the head I used for her has this white highlights, as you can see with the pictures. And using a human skin didn't look right. Trust me, I tried :\ I could try and do it with the blue twi'lek assassin, but I don't want to re-export and such just so I can get to wear some normal underwear.. Besides, I like my underwear much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of anything for my dancer outfit. I have part of it done, and I don't know if I should leave it or make it more... dancer-y. Dancer outfit. And, before I forget, the character Katrina (the head skin) is finished in the skinning section of things. Katrina with Robes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrob41 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 LoL thats not much of a difference between clothing and underwear... I agree. Perhaps if she had bare arms and legs with just some slippers or ankle high shoes, she would look more like underwear. To go the extra mile, remove the belt (who wears a belt to hold up thier undies? ). the head I used for her has this white highlights, as you can see with the pictures. And using a human skin didn't look right. Trust me, I tried :\ I could try and do it with the blue twi'lek assassin, but I don't want to re-export and such just so I can get to wear some normal underwear.. Besides, I like my underwear much better For my Zeltron (Atinah Vanis), I used the arms from N_TwilekFB01.tga and used the Match Color in Photoshop. You could probably do the same for the legs. That'd probably look great as underwear. I really like the buckles on the back of the dancer's top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerGod Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 how bout a nice flowing skirt, maybe various lengths too That would require animating and modeling in a skirt... and I'm not that good enough... I would give you some suggestions, but this is a PG-13 site. Don't give me any ideas now Anyways, all of the skins are not final. I am still working on them, enhancing them. @RR: Well, I did have an idea for the dancer outfit... A reskinned version of the twi'lek female outfits... to be leathery and such (well, her clothing and underwear is made out of leather ) I will keep your suggestion in mind.

DarthParametric Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 How about some stockings and suspenders? Those are always hawt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerGod Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Thats very... interesting DP. I agree tho. Anyways, I have been doing stuff on my own for a little bit. A bit of modeling, a bit of skinning, etc... Anyways, first order of business, one of my Echani heads from my near human skin pack. Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) (still working on lips for the second/third/fourth transition, thats just a placeholder for now, to give you guys the idea) I admit, RedRob inspired me with his Echani mod, but there are quite a few differences between his echani skin and mine. (protip: the head I used is the same as one of the ones he used in his Echani mod) One being the skin tone; its a bit different from her skin, its similar, but different. My skin has a higher resolution, so to speak, then RedRob's. And the biggest difference; her transitions. RedRob did show be how he got his tattoos from his Echani mod to work, so I utilized some of the styles from his mod into my skin. I'm still trying to work on the final transition. (since she's echani, I'm trying to keep her eyes, so no sith eyes, unless I can't think of anything else) Then I'm going to work on her clothing and miscellaneous goodies. I have reskinned her outfit to be human, and be less green that it was before. (as you can see above ) Zeltron Luxa will still be in game, even if you decide to play as Echani Luxa. Second order of business: Azkul as PC Yes, it has been done. But I had an idea just today that I put into action. Using nothing but a clever tweak the base texture (no fance re-textures until DS1 and 2) (I only have the Light Side skin made), I present to you, the LS Azkul! Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) (note: the oddness of the head around the eye is just something with the head; nothing to do with my skin.) My plan is to have him like that for LS and DS1 (except he will have Sith Eyes in DS1) and have him 'earn' his scar (and damaged eye) on DS2. DS2 will also replace the Azkul ingame skin, but if you decide to play as Azkul, then you'll end up playing with his normal skin. Third order of business: modeling endeavors. Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) Called the Niveus, it uses Darth Malak's longsaber model, is gripped comfortably where I want it to so you can see the detail (where the actual grip is, no less ) of the hilt, and a nice baremetal shine on the silver and gold. There was a noticeable uv error on export that is seen on the emitter, and I'm working to fix that. Once I fix said problem, I will bring in a pic of the Niveus ingame. I haven't yet decided if I want to release it standalone like my Inheritor or include it in one of my mods. And for the fourth item on the agenda, I have finished my Zeltron as PC mod. Portraits, 2da edits, skins, everything has been done. But I don't really want to release it until I finally get my shaders working (I was somehow able to apply CM_SpecMap to my Luxa's lips, but not to my Zeltron's lips. >_<) I believe thats all I have to report...

redrob41 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 She's looking good Trigger . That head really does make a great looking Echani, 'eh? I started making one myself, but I'm sure we'll both come up with something that has enough differences. The nice thing about Echani, is that siblings almost always look the same, so maybe ours are sisters . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerGod Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 The nice thing about Echani, is that siblings almost always look the same, so maybe ours are sisters . Yeah, its pretty evident with the Handmaiden, with her same head model and and skin as her sisters. Anyways, I was able to fix my map (thanks DarthParametric !) and I was able to get a shader working for the saber. (its hard to tell from my pic, but there is a shader applied. Its most noticeable on the gold.) Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) Also, I noticed how the Mission as PC skin Ferc made wasn't exactly accurate (not saying its a bad skin), so I decided to play around with stuff. I asked him for permission to release it when I finished, he gave it to me, and so, I've been working on mission enhanced mod for TSL. Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) (I know about the eye area. I will fix that before release. It was an unwanted side effect of my playing in Photoshop.) The differences between Ferc's and Mine? Well, a new first transition with, IMO, a more mission like skin tone. Then I had redid the transitions (the tats stayed the same, its just you got the full face tats on the second ds transition instead of only half. Then you got the next on the third. Finally, the sith eyes appear on the final.) And to keep in line with the new skins, I have to make an LS and DS version with differing skin tones for the underwear, dancer outfit, etc. And Ferc green-lighted me to add some goodies to the mod. I plan on adding 2 robes, (1 will be a skin of the Jedi Master model for LS, the other being a skin of those Dark Jedi tunics for DS.) possibly a set of armor, and a custom lightsaber hilt. (maybe having the Niveus as the custom hilt?) If people don't want my skin, but they want my goodies, they will be in a seperate folder that will be patched into your override (as my mod will edit the upcrystals.2da), and you can play with Ferc's original mod. Likewise, if people want the skin and not the goodies, they can just run the patcher in the skins folder, and not the one in the goodies folder. Any recommendations for my 'goodies?' Because I can't think of anything good right now. And I made a quick skin for a 'malak-y' tunic.

DarthParametric Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I like the Malak-esque tunic. Nice work. Anyways, I was able to fix my map (thanks DarthParametric !)Really? What did I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthParametric Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Ah. Well I can't claim any credit for the idea. It was Inyri and svösh that put me onto that. I can claim credit for the illustrated guide though lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferc Kast Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Also, I noticed how the Mission as PC skin Ferc made wasn't exactly accurate (not saying its a bad skin), so I decided to play around with stuff. I asked him for permission to release it when I finished, he gave it to me, and so, I've been working on mission enhanced mod for TSL. ~SNIP~ If people don't want my skin, but they want my goodies, they will be in a seperate folder that will be patched into your override (as my mod will edit the upcrystals.2da), and you can play with Ferc's original mod. Likewise, if people want the skin and not the goodies, they can just run the patcher in the skins folder, and not the one in the goodies folder. Any recommendations for my 'goodies?' Because I can't think of anything good right now. Well, at least, it'll match the other. My only suggestion, aside from fixing the eyes, is to make the other transitions the same skin tone as the first. Other than that, it looks very good. (As do the Malak tunic and the lightsaber hilt.)
