sithlord-II Posted April 21, 2002 Author Share Posted April 21, 2002 blue shading == gone will use shaders for any reflections, etc, i will just create highlights in photoshop i think i might redo the mask itself completely tonite or tomorrow, working from what i already have, since i know where i have gone wrong, and as for the helmet i know how to fix it up why wait for the sdk on the helm, since it won't be modified for importing? heh the body is mostly what i have to leave until the sdk is available because of how the jointed system works with the ghoul animation system the good points of the mask are the eyes are pretty decent, and i got the nose into place now i think, might need to extend it a bit more one bad point is the cheekbone area, might need to restructure but not sure right now i had a look through theforce.net's fanforce area and found a buttload of ref. pics, was searchign through theforce.net and didnt' come across this area till now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabowan Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 Sithlord, It's good to see that you're so dedicated to getting this thing right. Everyone else, thanks for scrutinizing this model as much as I have been. Sithlord's got a great thing going here, and although he's doing all the work, we're helping as much as we can by providing reference pics and picking out the things that just...don't look right. This thread has grown to just about the longest one that's on page 1 every day, and the excitement just keeps growing. I can't wait until the end results!

Monkason Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 Firstly, you've done a great job on Vader. Vader is my favourite character and I was waiting (impatiently) for a Vader skin. At least I know that the first Vader skin will be a class act one (yours). Just a little suggestion though, after you have finished Vader had your thought about doing The Emperor, the current skin is a bit crappy, except for the taunts, I'm sure that judging from you Vader making you could easily make The Emperor by copying and editing an existing model. Just a thought, then we can recreate ROTJ. P.S. If any of you haven't yet seen the work Tem (I think that’s his name) is doing on level design, you should, its great.

L2.0 Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 I know I sure got a few ideas for poor Sithlord-II. He may end up hating me when he see's my list... LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabowan Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 Yeah...Lots of models and skins out there to be made...I think sithlord deserves a break after this one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkason Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 Just an idea for some audio taunts for Vader. In TESB when Vader fights Luke he says "All too easy" and "impressive" and then "most impressive" these could be used as good general taunts as they don't refer to any character e.g. Luke. Also some other ideas for some good models that someone could start on (not necessarily Sith Lord II, because he has been working so hard on Vader and will need a rest): Dark Trooper Stage 1 and 3 (would be v gd) A good Mace Windu Pla Koon Yoda Dark Helmet! ( essential ) Jabba the Hutt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sithlord-II Posted April 22, 2002 Author Share Posted April 22, 2002 heheh thank you for the consideration guys i'll just have to wait and see what i feel like doing after i can get vader into the game, it is the one model right now that i am really dedicated to getting done and looking good emperor might not be a bad idea, and dark helmet would be a great bit of fun to make hehehe but like i said i'm gonna wait till vader is done, i don't want to get myself off in all kinds of different directions and i've seen some shots of tem's levels, they are looking pretty cool i'm hoping the tools are released soon, but i understand if its taking raven a while to get it ready for us. I know i wouldn't want to play with the tools if they were completely incomprehensible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sithlord-II Posted April 22, 2002 Author Share Posted April 22, 2002 ok well the tools are now out. Hopefully they have something for importing new player models. and in other news, as of next monday i will be unemployed as IBM canada is closing our store on April 29th. Damn. Oh well, hello severance package! more time to finish vader up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zolden Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 I'm interested to see how well the models will convert over and look in the game, I hope there wont be too many problems. Would you perhaps have an eta on when our sith lord here will be available for download? 2 - 3 weeks? etc... Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Nash Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 Well Sith, the tools are out! Now we can make this guy a reality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sithlord-II Posted April 23, 2002 Author Share Posted April 23, 2002 well hopefully i can have the model ready by this weekend (fingers crossed...) i don't want to rush it out but i am gonna try and test out importing the model into the game over the next few days as i iron out any wrinkles in the model. With luck you guys will see it soon if i get any screenshots i will post them here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Nash Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 Really take your time. Now you can add the cape, and cloak models. I was told by Raven that capes ARE possible to make. If it's not ready by this weekend, that is FINE. Sith, do you have any sounds that you've chosen for the model that we could hear? As in when he gets hit, killed, jumps, etc? Also, are you making a custom saber with sounds included in this skin? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonk-raider Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 aye, did raven say anything else.. as in a method it might be done succesfuly .. a animated one. if its not then.... SHAZBOT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sithlord-II Posted April 23, 2002 Author Share Posted April 23, 2002 i will try and see about the cape gotta look into it, see what options it would take for it, might need softimage for that though... and i would like to give him a custom sabre, once i get home tonite i plan on looking into it all if i can make it as complete as possible, w/ a cape and custom saber you can count on it being in there as for sounds i have about 10-15 wav's on my hdd, gonna go through them. The breathing sound is a definite, just need to figure out how to have it act as a constant sound for vader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magician Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 i think it's very good.i cant wait until it is released.(that would be cool and yet wierd if it was already out and this is an update)but thats my opinion. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK i mean it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Nash Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 Sith, Don't bother with the "saber sound". Nobody will notice the difference. I wouldn't bother with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
