Is kyle blind?

[Digital_Ronin]

Whenever I get a short peek on Kyle's face during a slow-mo reborn death, I see something weird about his eyes - can't exactly describe it, but they almost look as if they were closed all the time.

 

Now I heard something about the SP model being tweaked to make the game run faster - does this mean they saved polys/textures on the model's front side? (considering that you just see his back under normal circumstances)

 

Doesn't he have any eyes in that sense but maybe only closed eyelids?

 

Did anyone take a look at that sp model?

 

I'd find it quite exhilarating to think that Kyle is running through the game with sealed eyes. Oh well, I guess he at least has the force to perceive his surroundings later on in the game.

if you open up his skin files, he's got some whacky ****e goin on. it's freaky lookin.

But he does have eyes. His skin is pretty messy looking when you look at the jpgs, but it looks fine in the cut scenes. and spawning a kyle npc it look perfecto, that is al lthat counts.

[Digital_Ronin]

I thought they used a special, high-polycount version of Kyle for the cutscenes? Read that somewhere around here.

 

But I will spawn and look.

Raven have decided to make a stand and proove that visually impaired people can also save the world. oh what a politically correct world we live in... Are you as sick of it as I am? If you cant see you are not visually impaired... you are BLIND. If you can not hear, your not audiable impaired... YOUR DEAF! If you are a mother-in-law you are not freindliness-impaired... YOUR PURE EVIL!

 

And so on...

Not sure what game your playing, nor am I sure I want too.

 

I think you need a new hobbie though.

Crap, and yet my oh-so 1337 english skills fail me again.

Was that sarcasm up there? Ah, whatever...

 

Oh yeah, and I want the avatars back.

Go lucasforums go! Get another server!

Ok, I'm not sure why you don't believe me, but whatever, type npc spawn kyle and then LOOK at him. He's fine and has eyes, just like everyone else.

[Mightyvvhitey]

Maybe it's my computer, but kyle's eyes in the cuscenes look incredibly blurred... i could have sworn that in real life there is sharp definition between iris and pupil, white part and colured. (sp?) it bothers me that he looks like he's on drugs.

@moore+

 

Sorry the thing was, I wasn't sure what kyle version you spawned. Hi-poly or standard SP.

 

Now that I took a look at the files, there doesn't seem to be a hi-poly version, so alright, he has fine eyes.

 

Settled?

While we're on the subject of Katarn's peepers, what colour are they meant to be? Get out your original Jedi Knight disc 1 and look at the pic on it - they're cobalt blue - but in the JK cutscenes they're brown. In the Dark Forces graphic novels the K-man has blue eyes again but in Jedi Outcast they're brown.

Hey, Jerec was blind. Look how far he got!

[Emon]

If your textures are blurred, then your texture detail is low.

 

If your models look funky and you have graphical glitches, it's either because:

 

1. Your drivers or settings are wrong or bad.

2. Your PC's hardware sucks. Terribly.

Perhaps in Starwars instead of sunglassse they have sort of contact lenses which are tinted like sunnies... so the browness you see is actually the SW euivilant of Oakley Romeos (one of the types and best type of X-Metal glasses)
