ArmyAJ Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I made my own model of Revan's Lightsaber based on the actual models I found on the internet of what it should look like. The thing is that I can model ok but I'm not good at UV Mapping, I get confused and can't seem to make it simple for texturising. So basically I'm asking for a favor if someone can do it for me, obviously they would get all the credit for doing it when I release it. Please PM me if you can help. Thanks... A picture of the actual model I used to create the 3d model: The 3D model I created, hope everyone likes it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDR Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 That looks really good. Even better if it's textured. Is this your first model? If so, bravo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyAJ Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 No it's not my first, but thank you though I appreciate that. I agree with you on the textured part which is why I need someone to help me with the UV Mapping and make it nice and simple to texture. I can do the texture myself which I will do just need a hand on the mapping and they will be credited for that when it's released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 What's your poly count? At a guess, I'd say it's excessive. You could do all those negative extruded rings as textures, as you'll never actually tell the difference in-game anyway, so geometry is just wasted overhead. I did a version up a while back for this request. The pic in there shows how I would recommend doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyAJ Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 The poly count is 2666, not too excesive I've seen custom hilts for this game with higher counts. Hey would you be able to send me a copy of you hilt release I would love to check out the model and see how you mapped and textured it, if it's ok with you, I will give you my e-mail address so you can send it unless you have it posted somewhere for download.

ArmyAJ Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 Never-mind everyone I did it and finished. It took a while but it came out very good, amazingly surprised actually. As soon as I take some screenshots and renders I'll post them and you guys can tell me what you all think. I'll post it for download in a zip also if you think it's release worthy or just if anyone wants it. Here the small menu icon pictures for a tiny quick peek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Fett Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 That doesn't look too bad, actually. Any change of some bigger screenies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyAJ Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 I have 5 in-game screenshots here for you guys to see. I want to post some decent res renders, but unfortunately GMax does not have a renderer. Maybe I'll grab a copy of 3DS Max to make some nice renders of the model so you all can get a good look at it.

Marius Fett Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 You might want to tone down the CM_BareMetal just a tad. Might just be my opinion, but it looks like it's a bit too much atm. Great model though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyAJ Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 Not using CM_Baremetal as the enviro, didn't look right, so went with chrome1. It looked the best in my opinion and in-game as you move around works great. So still never got a good poll to see if I should release this or not. Answer away people and be completely honest please.

Qui-Don Jorn Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I personally would have used a copper color beneath the emitter, and since you using chrome1 it would look really awesome, but that's just. Yeah that looks awesome! Release it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyAJ Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 I tried posting it on KotOR Filefront, but it's been like 5 days and still not up, don't know what's going on. . I set it up with the TSL Patcher so it's easy to install for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
