Kinja Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 Hey all, just reposting Yoda under a new thread name since noone ever looks at all my hard work under my other thread, hehe:( STOP WHAT YOUR DOING DON'T CLICK THAT LINK THATS OLD CRAP CLICK ON THE LINK AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE FOR THE LATEST YODA IMAGE! http://home.iprimus.com.au/rishnik/yoda.jpg NOTE:YODA IS STILL IN PROGRESS THE HAIR WILL BE FIXED http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/cottages/genq3/yoda-wall-FIN.jpg ALSO NOTE:THERE ARE MORE IMAGES THROUGHOUT THIS THREAD EVEN SOME SHOTS OF THE EVIL DARK YODA:evil6:
Darth Vengance Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 Looks like a great start! How are you doing with bringing into the game? Others have mentioned a sizing configuration in the compiling tools... Something about setting to ".5" instead of "1" Let us know where you're at on this!
__CKY__ Posted May 15, 2002 Posted May 15, 2002 Please say your releasing it soon with custom taunts and everything because Yoda is cool but not if hes as tall as everyone else any probs with it so far and also very good work on it
Toonces Posted May 15, 2002 Posted May 15, 2002 I would love to see this model come to be as well, I was reading in Kinja's other thread that he had someone animating this model, if that's the case I'm sure that even I could whip up a decent skin for Yoda. Are you planing to make him a multiplayer model? It's going to be difficult to get him in there because of his hight, but I wouldnt care if he provided an advantage to somebody using him in a multiplayer game, or a bot, it would be fun, and quite an accomplishment
Kinja Posted May 15, 2002 Author Posted May 15, 2002 Hey toonces, you good at skinning? If so, wanna give it a try cause I'm still waiting to get paid so I can get a Wacom Pen:) And yes I'm aware of all the issues and will do my best to accomplish all of them.
Toonces Posted May 16, 2002 Posted May 16, 2002 Sure, I'd be happy to give it a try, I'm new at modeling/skining, started when Freedom Force came out. I'm suppried (actually shocked) that nobody else has offered to do it, especially considering how immencely popular Yoda is. Hopefully you can get a few people working on it and choose the best one. I'm definatly willing to give it a shot, I'll do my best

Picture it: Oh look! theres a big, fat green guy coming towards us!!! Charge that rifle!
Arco Posted May 16, 2002 Posted May 16, 2002 awww Toonces got there first. Can we share skinning duties????? I would love to do a red CTF for the little dood. Tis a very cool model indeed. Arco:deathstar
Leagle Posted May 16, 2002 Posted May 16, 2002 He still looks like shrek... His head isn't domed enough...
Toonces Posted May 16, 2002 Posted May 16, 2002 Go for it Arco, I was very impressed with your re-skining of Sith's vader, I acually use both his origional skin and yours, I like a little variety in my Vader I'm still rather new to skining, I'm just learning to model, so my area of focus is in that rather than creating textures, but nobody seemed intrested in skining Kinja's awesome model (It's so good I cant understand why) so I thought I'd give it a shot. After seeing your work I'll leave it in your more than capable hands if you'd like. I'm currently working on a Dooku (sp?) model, gonna take me a few more weeks. Cant wait to see how Yoda comes out, the model rocks, and your textureing skills are incredible, you and Kinja would make an incredible team
Oobedoob Benobi Posted May 16, 2002 Posted May 16, 2002 Yes please make a cool looking yoda for multi player. My friends and I have been waiting for someone to make a yoda character. Thanks for working on it and good luck to you all . P.S. Kinja i can't seem to get your link to work "HTTP 404 - File not found"
ShodiKGian Posted May 16, 2002 Posted May 16, 2002 Okay, so we've all heard that Yoda would be stretched to 'normal' height in multiplayer. An Idea I had was that it might be possible to, for lack of a better term, have an invisible pole attached to yoda's head. This pole would either be surfaced out, or alpha-ed out. It would be used as a spacer to keep Yoda at the right model height. I have not gotten far enough with outputting a model (just got the tools to do it last night,) so I haven't tested the possiblity of this yet. Possible problems would be that when a surface is turned off (first method,) it no longer belongs to the model and is not used in adjusting model height. Another possible oddity would be with the hit boxes: the hit boxes might be misaligned, especially for the head. Even if this idea does work it would not solve the 'higher than MP model height' issue.
Kinja Posted May 17, 2002 Author Posted May 17, 2002 Hey Arco! Dude I would be thrilled if you would do the skin for my Yoda model:yoda: So please let me know if ya want too and I will get him to ya ASAP! P.S. If so, what file format do you want him in, cause I'm modeling in May but I can export to whatever?
[SWS]Strider Posted May 17, 2002 Posted May 17, 2002 Please make him to scale....... I don't care if it makes it harder in MP. We can always force models if we have to. They made a snoopy for EF and it worked fine. Please please do this. All you have to do is make his hitbox normal, just invisible.
Arco Posted May 17, 2002 Posted May 17, 2002 I am up for it! Um I would proberbly need it in 3DS format and skinmaps... if you have no skinmaps I can get my bro to work on some for you. But yeah I will skin this baby up no probs. ArCo:deathstar
Kinja Posted May 17, 2002 Author Posted May 17, 2002 Awsome, Thx man! I'll try and get him to ya as soon as possible, although, I'm working till like 12:00 or 1:00 everynight, getting ready for our E3 showing of the game I'm workin on.
Kinja Posted May 19, 2002 Author Posted May 19, 2002 Hey Arco, I've been finalizing and optimizing Yoda, but its lookin alot better IMO. It will be done real soon though. And I might let you skin it as well dude! If Arco doesnt object
Arco Posted May 19, 2002 Posted May 19, 2002 nah i don't mind if anyone else does a skin for him. But I really wanna have exclusive rights to the default one... maybe other people could do a younger yoda, or an evil yoda or a ghost one... or a pornstar one! but iwouldn't mind getting the ESB one down... heh. ArCo:deathstar
Kinja Posted May 21, 2002 Author Posted May 21, 2002 Thx everyone for your support , hehe. I'm sorry he's not done yet, but I've been putting Hrs in tweaking him before I pass him off to the talented Arco, who will be textureing him up. Also I think a few other cats wanna give skinning him a try aswell. Anyway I've been working late everynight for the past 2 weeks getting my game Freaky Flyers(a Midway Production)(be that good or bad, hehe) ready for its E3 showing this wednsday:D, so just bear with me, Yoda is coming:yoda:
Sinister1 Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 Kinja, that model looks fantastic, keep up the good work! I can't wait to get my hands on this one!
Arco Posted May 22, 2002 Posted May 22, 2002 I am really getting warmed up for this! When does one get the model to skin? soon I hope!! Arco
Kinja Posted May 23, 2002 Author Posted May 23, 2002 Really soon... I'm going to E3 tomorrow and Friday and when I get back, I'll get him out to ya Arco. Thanks also for skinning him. I can't wait to see him:)
Arco Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 heh well that has made my day. Thanks for saying i'm skilled guys... i am just waiting on the model now. i really can't wait to skin this sucka. Arco
Kinja Posted May 27, 2002 Author Posted May 27, 2002 Its almost done fellas, Iv'e just been tweaking this thing, trying to get ti right. But it almost done I swear.
Kinja Posted May 28, 2002 Author Posted May 28, 2002 Actually, I'm done now, i just need Aros Email address cuase its deniying me access to his email through here. Hmmm... Also, if someone could post it, I have an Image of the final model.
