sithlord-II Posted April 23, 2002 Author Posted April 23, 2002 hey bloodriot, the channel on IRC seems to be invite only...
gonk-raider Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 what would be better when hte vader skin is done.. his own frekaing campaign.. using ideas from such great books as shadows of the empire splinter of a minds eye.. I can imagine it now .. could there be a way where we could even create his tie advanced for some small space combat levels?? or atleast do some ground strafing action : )
Demijedi Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 Hey Sithlord... just thought I'd post and give you support... the Darth Vader model looks great so far... I really hope you're able to add a nice cape to it and get the body proportions correct. Just as a suggestion... I think when he dies in game, he should have the sound of when Luke removes his hand in their final battle. Thank you for starting on this model... I've been waiting for one forever... may the force be with you... always.
sithlord-II Posted April 23, 2002 Author Posted April 23, 2002 i'll have some pics up tonite the model is exporting well into md3 format at least, no messed up model parts etc, have to wait and see about the xsi format and such... and i'm gonna fill in the gapped parts tonite, the hips, and ankles i have to bulk out the shin guards because as it is they just kinda sit there, they don't have any depth on his legs... otherwise i think the model is progressing nicely
T-Dogg Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 Now, I'm not sayin' I could do better (since I've never done ANY editing), but the pics on page 5 look terrible... There IS a resemblence (spelling?), but no, no, no... Now, take a goooooood look at a picture of Vader, keep it visible at ALL times when doing this, cause this ain't on the right track, I'm sorry to say. How 'bout getting the model done properly first before even thinking about skinning? Well, the community has to start somewhere...
sithlord-II Posted April 23, 2002 Author Posted April 23, 2002 well, disregarding that last post, here are some new shots of vader for today i joined the model almost completely together, redid alot of the helm (note the texture on the helm will be redone now..) face redesigned a bit with placeholder tusks in there. ankles were completed and groin was finished, texture for groin still being done i put the cape in there to show the model as it will eventually look http://www.geocities.com/sithlordiii2001/vader_body12.txt http://www.geocities.com/sithlordiii2001/vader_mask5.txt http://www.geocities.com/sithlordiii2001/vader_mask6.txt and i did this one up last nite, around 600-650 polys, can't remember http://www.geocities.com/sithlordiii2001/vader_saber.txt
M0nkz0r Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 Apparently you havn't been reading over the posts. He said he is going to fix a lot of things with the model. It takes time to get a model right, he is just being kind enough to post his progess along the way and getting suggestions. That sounded more like an insult than a suggestion.
Demijedi Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 Sithlord... I have but one thing to say.... Wow... it looks excellent... looking at it closely... you may want to make the bridge of the nose a TAD bit smaller... but that's it... other than that it's basically perfect... amazing job.

D'akt Sangwar Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 great work sithlord with the cloak on he doesnt look as oversized looking gooooooood
gonk-raider Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 Ooh, one more thing.. wheres the chain around his nexcxcx...err neck : )
sabowan Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 Lookin GOOD!! Great work my man. Keep on making those little changes that will make this model perfect. Everything is really coming together now. The saber looks pretty good for a first effort too.
mrlove Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 pliis reup some pics dude, yahoo isnt very reliable! nice work!
Mr. Spanky Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 Some more suggestions: Check out this picture for reference for the helmet http://www.troopersrus2.8m.com/facemask.gif Notice about the eyes that they end with a sharp point, not rounded. Also, his mask could stand to be a little wider and shorter. It seems too tall compared to the helmet. BTW, excellent work so far!
Evan Nash Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 Vader seems to have a very fat head. Maybe try widening the head a bit Sith as a test.
sabowan Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 Sithlord, that latest image of the full body you posted looks fantastic. One question, are you planning on doing the "undercloak" or "skirt" as some have described it as well as the cape? I'm sure that will be significantly more difficult to do, but I was just wondering. Also, make sure to post pics once the textures for the belt boxes and hands are done. I'm eagerly anticipating more pictures....
