I think a pretty classy Vader taunt would be "If you only knew the POWER of the Dark Side." As I recall, he says that pretty often, and it seems to me to work better with the whole "bring it" hand gesture than "all too easy."

Hey Sith i think i speak for everyone when i say thank you for your efforts into making a fantastic model!.. i have nothing bad to say about it at all because if raven didnt do it then one of us had to and yours is worthy of usage total usage.. i WILL BE THE DARK LORD OF THE SITH!!!! anyway.. do you have an eta for it.. roughly a week perhaps two.. im getting sweating palms i have aurra sing model and soon i hope to model on my own mainly using what we have in game.. trading heads and swapping accessories and the like.. perhaps even grafting home made parts as i did in vampire... anyway.. i am a good skinner and any future projects that you need help with just let me know ill be more than happy to donate my time!

 

again bro thank you! :deathii:

thank u guys

:)

the model is nearing completion...

and... i figured out how to do LODs, pretty simple concept but a lot of buggery to get it working

 

*NOTE: EDITING TIP* heheheh

 

quick walkthru on how to do LODS:

Make an exact copy model of your original by doubleclicking the Stupidtriangle_off tag, and cloning all parts of the mesh

this should add a suffix 01 to each part. MOdify each 01 to _1, or _2 for each successive LOD model.

doing this will copy all parts of the model including tags. What does not get copied however, is the skeletal setup. You need to reset each part of the skeleton again

i find its easiest to then again double click the original StupidTriangle_off to select the original mesh, then hide it until needed.

now you can make any modifications necessary to lower the poly count. For instance, i cut down alot of unseen detail in the mask, helmet, and vader's back (since he has a cape..duh.. shouldn't be there anyways, but hey, i wasted a few polys....)

Now as you weigh the objects, remember this one thing: each object must use the same bones if it is a successive LOD model. IE if Torso uses Upper Lumbar and LowerLumbar, then Torso_1 must use at least one of the two, or both. If not, you will get a message saying "ERROR: LOD1 HAS BONE XXXX REFERENCED, NOT FOUND IN LOD0"

etc

at least it tells you this much

and so you go on, so on and so forth, if everything is still named the same then you can still use all the same skin files and textures as before

:)

Well that was my bit of work for tonite, i'm dreading doing another one of those things, its taken about 2 hours from start to finish to get it all working right.

Hm, sorry that this moan is no better quality.

I've searched the internt for this in better quality, but there is none, and I have not the gear to make it.

 

But I collected all vader sound I could find, so maybe you are able to find a sound.

 

As taunt I like the "It is pointless to resist", but it's still your choice :)

 

I'm ulpoading the sounds to

*FEEDS ZOLDEN AND TEN TIGERS TO A VERY LARGE LOUISIANA SWAMP GATOR* KITTENS GOOD!!!!!

And I'm not just saying that because I'm a girl. Hmph! ;) Stop killing kittens. *twists the head off a mouse...SQUEAKRUNCH!* Kill those instead. Let's stop talking about killing REAL things and stick to talking killing videogame models. ;)
