Anavel Gato Posted May 24, 2002 Author Posted May 24, 2002 Here the first bit of skinning that I did tonight... http://www.xs4all.nl/~tetsuo/screenglue/models/Padme%20Amidala%20Face%20WIP%201.jpg I still have a ton of work to do before the head is done but I like where it's going. The hairline needs to go up a bit, new eyebrows needed, neck I haven't even touched yet, more/bigger color differences in the flesh parts, ears need work and on an on... Do you plan to do CTF colors? If so, please don't make the whole thing blue/red just give a stripe or something. I think it would be nice to make the belt and arm-bands the team colors. But first ... sleep! Tons of it
Pogwaffle Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 That skin looks pretty excellent for a first job. It doesnt look like her yet but you'll get it that way. Your work on the model is *almost* accurate. Good Job!
[SWS]Strider Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 Might I suggest using a actual pictureof her face and syning the color up. I messed around with something like it a while back, I didn't put a whole bunh of effort into it (about 10 minutes) but you might want to try it. Here's the rough idea of what I did. Sorry it's a bit unfinished and a bit big.
Cmdr. Antilles Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 If you are going to use an image for source, use one of higher quality than that, no offence.
Tap[RR] Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 *Begins to chant* Arco Arco Arco Arco! Better than a photograph (which always comes out bad), let arco skin it, he's a great skinner! (the guy who did vader to some of you who dont know, -_-; shame on those who dont)
[SWS]Strider Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 No offence taken. Like I said, I would do it much better (that includes a higher quality image). I was trying to give a rough idea of what I meant though. I definately would have done it much better if I was trying.
Cmdr. Antilles Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 Yeah. I thought the pic he posted of his work was pretty good. Not exactly, but close. And no one wants to model my choice? ( http://home.attbi.com/~davidcrivera/images/jediaregood.jpg )
Absath Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 You're very close with the likeness on the face. From the front and the 3/4 side view, you can tell it's Natalie...the profile loses it tho. Its definetly highquality work. I can't wait to see the finished product. -Abs
Anavel Gato Posted May 24, 2002 Author Posted May 24, 2002 I'll try a skin for the face based on an image today. I got magazine with a very clearn pic of her face from the front in that I'll scan at a high res. let arco skin it, he's a great skinner! For now I'm not gonna let anybody else skin it. Sorry I like to skin so I'm gonna do it, then I'm gonna get it working in JK2 or Q3 and then you can download the model and skins to do with whatever you like.
Ten Tigers Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 Very impressive work. I have such admiration and respect for all the modelers and skinners in the community. Especially yalls willingness to share your work with the rest of us...
[SWS]Strider Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 I hope you didn't get me wrong. Your doing a great job, better than I could ever pull off. I'm quite impressed. :-)

I'm quite impressed. :-) Not at all! I appreciate any feedback, help and bright ideas I never modelled/skinned a woman before so this is "all" new to me.
Cmdr. Antilles Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 Originally posted by Anavel Gato I never modelled/skinned a woman before so this is "all" new to me. Hmmm... Well, you're doing a great job, but I say don't stop here... Move on to other female models... Just to keep your skillz up, ya know? *cough* http://home.attbi.com/~davidcrivera...jediaregood.jpg *cough*
petezilla Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 model and skin lookin good. I was wondering what your gonna use as a taunt? check out the shakira skin the skin sucks but is has a briliant taunt makes me laugh every time.
Delmar Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 Hm, a taunt.... How about something like "You Jedi are far too reckless."
AKPiggott Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 "You're a funny little boy..." That should wear your enemies down.... Excellent model BTW...
Ten Tigers Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 Originally posted by Delmar Hm, a taunt.... How about something like "You Jedi are far too reckless." I like Delmar's idea...
quigon1 Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 Hi Anavel Gato, I must say that you do a good job, it's very nice I love her hehe A taunt ? how about: "I call this aggressive negociations" . A + all... Qui-Gon Jinn, a jedi protector of the Republic...
Cracken Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 I think AKPiggot's idea was the funniest, but the most practical probably is "You Jedi are far too reckless."
Darkhold X Posted May 25, 2002 Posted May 25, 2002 I agree with Cmdr. Antilles on a possible next project. also "I call this aggressive negociations" "You're a funny little boy..." "You Jedi are far too reckless." are all quite good taunts as they have stated. any one of those would be great.
Anavel Gato Posted May 25, 2002 Author Posted May 25, 2002 I took Strider's advice and make a new skin based on a picture of Natalie Portman. Took me forever to find a high res picture of her face in a frontal and straight position. Scanning didn't come out good http://www.xs4all.nl/~tetsuo/screenglue/models/Padme%20Amidala%20Face%20WIP%202.jpg The lighting in the renders is again terrible but that's because I didn't use any lights Here the link to my 1st/previous version... http://www.xs4all.nl/~tetsuo/screenglue/models/Padme%20Amidala%20Face%20WIP%201.jpg I think I'll stick to the new one I haven't even started thinking about a next project but Antilles's pic of the female Jedi knight would/could make a sw33t model. I think I've got my hands full for now on dear Padme I'd like to make a Leia model (white ep4 outfit) someday too. Here some more taunts that came to mind... I'm not afraid to die. You're making fun of me! Please don't look at me like that! I can see what you're thinking. Too bad you can't make cutsom taunt animations
Cracken Posted May 25, 2002 Posted May 25, 2002 Sure, the model was great before, but those new face skins make it on a plane equal to the greatest models ever produced for any game. BTW, the blue Twi'lek female's name is Aayla Secura, and she was featured in the Dark Horse SW comics.
striderx2048 Posted May 25, 2002 Posted May 25, 2002 your not doing 3D eyes? are you not going to run into skin tone problems using a photo?
