Darth_Tempust Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 I know there was already an improved texture (or mesh? not sure), but here's my take. We all know what the stock head looks like, so I won't bother posting a pic. WIP using the front cover art as a ref: 50% self-illum in Max.
VarsityPuppet Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Side by side comparison wouldn't hurt.
Sam Spain Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Well it definitely looks smoother, but it... I don't know, something about the model makes it seem not "Bastila-like." Can't put my finger on it... In any case, the model itself is terrific. Looks like Bastila to me. Great work!
battle111 Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 wow it looks totaly cool !!!! good work!!
Darth_Tempust Posted February 19, 2013 Author Posted February 19, 2013 Haven't added any tris, just vert shifting with UVW tweaks. I think I made her a bit too 'sandra bullock', so I'll rework it.
Sith Holocron Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Haven't added any tris, just vert shifting with UVW tweaks. I think I made her a bit too 'sandra bullock', so I'll rework it. Hold onto that original version ... as I think I'd like to have it!
Canderis Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Hold onto that original version ... as I think I'd like to have it! ^^^
Dak Drexl Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Yeah great job so far, I think it's a huge improvement. I always thought the Bastila on the game cover looked way better than the in-game one, so thanks for bridging the gap! Looking forward to some updates.
Darth_Tempust Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 For something different, I could perhaps make a SWTOR version of bastila: She is a Master in that holocron so I'll have to make her younger and with her KOTOR hairstyle.
Fallen Guardian Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Meh, I never really liked any of the KotOR characters adaptations into TOR.
Sith Holocron Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 If you're looking to go for a different style, perhaps you should be looking at the concept art for Bastila. or base it on the voice actress for Bastila, Jennifer Hale. (Apparently that's how they came up with what's in the game.) But I still want the one you have in your original post though.
Darth_Tempust Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 Tweaked UVWs, fixed the topology a bit, added new eye & eyelid meshes: Made her a tad more asian.
milestails Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Tweaked UVWs, fixed the topology a bit, added new eye & eyelid meshes: Made her a tad more asian. I like this version a lot. Would definitely download and use right away.
Shem Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 It's fun to sometimes look through threads like these and see what some of you guys are up to. Keep the spirit alive!
Darth_Tempust Posted February 22, 2013 Author Posted February 22, 2013 If you guys like it now, wait until I'm done.
Darth_Tempust Posted February 26, 2013 Author Posted February 26, 2013 My Reference: Original Head: Improved Head: Both with 50% self-illum.
Canderis Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Awesome. She looks like such less of a .... mean person than before.
Bob Saget Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Awesome. She looks like such less of a .... mean person than before. Now now, that may not be a bad thing.
Zhaboka Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Awesome work! Definitely an improvement, yet still looks like Bastila... well played.
Darth_Tempust Posted February 27, 2013 Author Posted February 27, 2013 Pretty good for UVW fixing & vert moving/adding. Now need to get it ingame. Btw I was going to put SWTOR's Bastila head in KOTOR, but the model gets grabbed with no texture coords & ill-captured normal maps so I abandoned that idea.
Darth_Tempust Posted February 27, 2013 Author Posted February 27, 2013 Ingame: Still need to tweak the auroraflex, and finish weighting it.
Canderis Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Wow! Amazing! Might be a nice idea to do her body model too.
Darth_Tempust Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 Nothings really 'that' wrong with the body, plus it would just get swapped out for robes or armor ingame lol. Improved head is ingame & weighted. Currently mucking around with the auroraflex which is a slow painfull process of tweaking, compiling, headfixing and then testing ingame lol.
Disturbed205 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Something looks up with the nose in the ingame picture that looks abnormal, seems different from the render.
redrob41 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Excellent work; the lips, nostrils, eyes and hair all look much more believable now, while staying true to her original. The only thing that seems off to me, and it's only personal preference, is that the slope of the bridge of her nose is too straight. The slight ski jump up turn of her original nose helps give her a youthful cuteness that we've all known for so long. The straight nose looks a little generic to me. She doesn't quite look like Bastila any more. Now, it's your mod, so release it the way you want her to look. I'd still download it, and enjoy it
