sithlord-II Posted May 20, 2002 Posted May 20, 2002 Hi guys here are a few quick preview shots of a model i am working on Exar Kun http://www.geocities.com/sithlordiii2001/exarkun6.txt the files go from 6 - 11 right now its pretty high poly and lacking some details (belt, boot details, etc, but that's because i've only been working on it for a couple of days now i figure i can have the model set to go within a week should all go to plan i do realize the legs look a bit spindly, i think that is because of the shading on the legs using a grey color for that image sithlordii
quamosity Posted May 20, 2002 Posted May 20, 2002 thats a great looking start, sithlord. I look forward to him.
PiousAugustus99 Posted May 20, 2002 Posted May 20, 2002 Awesome! The beginning of another awesome model by sithlord :-)
VEGETA2K1 Posted May 20, 2002 Posted May 20, 2002 i dont know who this is, soo i dont know how close i is to the actual concewpt? butt.. i like it till the wasit... then it turns upp... "cartoonish" it doesnt have a proper crotch area...
Darth Matrix Posted May 20, 2002 Posted May 20, 2002 I know it's an early model, but Exar Kun seems to look younger in the comics. He looks too old in your model. Great work, I look forward it!
JRA_Wolf Posted May 20, 2002 Posted May 20, 2002 That is SO awesome looking, man...Exar Kun is my favorite character of all time, so this is a true gift...Can you tell me how you modeled the head? It looks awesome, and very lifelike (except for the missing eyes ). Everything looks great man...Can't wait to see it skinned and finished :D
sithlord-II Posted May 20, 2002 Author Posted May 20, 2002 hi there i do know the crotch looks a bit... cartoony thats why the model is a work in progress heheheh but i did the head in 3d studio, started with spline modelling, then cross sectioning and surfacing, converted to editable mesh then have used straight edge extruding, etc to make the rest of it here are a few new shots from last nite http://www.geocities.com/sithlordiii2001/exarkun12.txt http://www.geocities.com/sithlordiii2001/exarkun13.txt http://www.geocities.com/sithlordiii2001/exarkun14.txt and this is one of the *many* source images provided to me by Limbonik/L2.0, if u guys want to see what exar looks like http://www.geocities.com/sithlordiii2001/exarcomic.txt
CraZy_B Posted May 20, 2002 Posted May 20, 2002 The model is lookin great. You always do great work (Darth Vader).
malinkie Posted May 20, 2002 Posted May 20, 2002 Finished one and on to another. i like the way you work man. Keep churning out those great models. Cheers
Sintax Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 Looks good, but I think he needs more bulk, broaden him up a bit and it should be fine. For concept art I would recommend anything by Gosset (He's the best of all the Tales of the Jedi pencilers IMO) preferebly from the first 3 of his series (cant remember name...grrrrrrrrrrr)
mIRC Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 Yes, sithlord! You have no idea how long I've been waiting for an Exar Kun model! Hes my favorite character! You better not mess this up! Do you need any pics of him at all? The slightly older Exar Kun is the best one. The one with the pauldrons and cape. Before he got the metal arm though.
neo6 Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 Looks great, what program do you use? How do you make the skin for him?
Oobedoob Benobi Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 Even though i don't know who the hell he is, nice work he looks kick ass.
sithlord-II Posted May 21, 2002 Author Posted May 21, 2002 hi again i will try and add some bulk to his frame but as it is i'm stretching it a bit past the normal skeleton setup, id on't want to make the character toomuch bulkier than the base skeleton or else i will end up with some odd deformations :\ trying, tho
Sinister1 Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 That model looks like it's coming along nicely. I can't wait for it's release;)
Vesentac Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 damn... working on Exar huh? I think you should make Exar with the Sith weapon.... and please dont forget the pony tail. SDK pls, we need cloaks on these jedi!! Now my question to Lebonik 2.0 is who is doing Ulic Qel-Droma (my fav jedi)?
AKPiggott Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 That looks great Sith... something that's been troubling me is that no one has yet made a GHOUL facial animation compatible model yet... I hope you can incorprate that into your model, because then people can use them for cutscenes in SP editing....
sithlord-II Posted May 21, 2002 Author Posted May 21, 2002 well i'd like to be able to incorporate the facial setup, but i might be unable to due to the limits that each mesh part has for the amount of bones it can use the limit is between 8 and 10 i believe, and there are about 12 to 15 bones alone for the face unless i am mistaken BTW he does have his ponytail
sithlord-II Posted May 21, 2002 Author Posted May 21, 2002 http://www.geocities.com/sithlordiii2001/exar_textured3.txt http://www.geocities.com/sithlordiii2001/exar_textured5.txt well thats almost rdy to go i should have the UV mapping all done today, then i can try and import it into the game. After that, i will just be left waiting for the texture map to be finished, i think i will start on it and hand the reigns off to someone more experienced sithlordii
Darth Caedes Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 Hope these help ya, Sithlord. Though you probably already have them. They're my favorite pics. Exar Kun Pics: http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/exarkun/img/eu_bg.jpg http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/exarkun/img/bts_bg.jpg http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/exarkun/img/curve.jpg -Darth Caedes- P.S: It goes without saying that you did a l33t job on the Vader saber (and the whole model, ofcourse).. Perhaps you could do Exar's saber? It kinda looks like a double headed serpent.. L33tness. :>
Vesentac Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 someone actually did do a model on Exar Kun's saber.. it was pretty good too, just cant remember where it is.
§ith Lord Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 It looks great so far Sith.. keep up the great work, I'll wait till you start to skin to offer constructive criticism because I see nothing wrong with the model as of yet... - Sith Lord
JRA_Wolf Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 Originally posted by Vesentac someone actually did do a model on Exar Kun's saber.. it was pretty good too, just cant remember where it is. hehe, that was mine you can DL it here: http://www11.brinkster.com/jrawolf/ I submitted it to JKii.net but they never put it up :/
Lime-Light Posted May 22, 2002 Posted May 22, 2002 Is it just me, or does he not quite fill up those big shoulder pads? I think he should be scaled up a bit, or the head and shoulders down. Heh....head and shoulders.... Wiat, I just noticed you're in Edmonton, Sith. What part? I moved from Edmonton 6 months ago and live in Tex now.
