Niblem Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 Hey all, what do you think so far? Basically a mod of the storm trooper because thats what they basicly are.. Remodeled the head though and modified some of the other bodyparts.. I also created another model of the clonetroopers based off of the concept sketches, but they arent the offical look so i figured i would make it more authentic. BTW. I suck at skinning, i always have been a modeler not a painter/skinner. So maybe some one would like to skin this baby up. Heres some shots.. Back Front
[Dom_Pmd] Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 Looks good I guess... Oh and the helmet fin is flat towards the back, and it has a little red light on the end. (So in sh|tty conditions the other troopers know it's a friendly when shooting in clouds of dirt or fog...)
adillon Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 even though i appreciate all the effort everyone puts into models and skins, i think your clone trooper model SURPASSES any clone trooper out there. i hope i'm not offending anyone, but a clone trooper's head painted over a shadow trooper's doesn't look authentic enough to me. and supposedly the clone trooper's visor can see through any "sh|tty" condition, so i don't know exactly what the light would be for. HOWEVER, can you possibly do some kind of shader thing that could make it blink? it would be cool to see it on him. there's a darth mekanus (?) skin that has blinking lights, and i think the darth vader model does too. just my 2 cents. i'm really psyched about your model ... keep up the great work!
Epimetheus Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 I hate to be overly critical, but the fin is a little short and the head looks a wee bit fat. But the body looks great. Clonetroopers really do need to be done on a new model, not just stormtrooper or shadowtrooper. Looks good so far.
JRA_Wolf Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 Looks quite good so far. A few notes from looking at the action figure: 1. Head is skinnier 2. shoulder armor is tapered slightly 3. seperate elbow and kneepads Looks great though. I'd like to see this finished.
Niblem Posted May 24, 2002 Author Posted May 24, 2002 Hey thanks for all of the input guys, i'll get to work on all of your suggestions immediatly.. Please keep adding your suggestions, like i said i want to make this look as authentic as possible..
Niblem Posted May 24, 2002 Author Posted May 24, 2002 ok is this better? I will still continue to tweak this model, but i just wanted to let you guys see the new knee caps and arms. Plus i fixed the head, maybe it might need more tweaking so let me know.. Front Side Back Thanks again!
Tap[RR] Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 Pretty good, well sort.. of.. work on modeling sme more, dont release this, since it is obviously your first model. Good start too, hheh work on the head then try to model a body of your own.

[SWS]Strider Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 Quite good. Although I don't think the face is quite right. Here's a pic of it. http://starwars.carrotnetwork.com/reviews/cloner01.jpg I'll try and figure out what's missing.
[SWS]Strider Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 your helmet needs more angles in it, it looks a bit too rounded. Other than that, it's amazing.
Niblem Posted May 24, 2002 Author Posted May 24, 2002 ok ok ok, phew... 4 hours later i've got myself a new head.. And i think it looks much much better.. (took the advice to model my own head), and no this isnt my first model i have modeled before for quake3 and NOLF. But i just figured it being a clone trooper and it being related to the stormtrooper and all why should i go and reinvent the wheel so to speak.. So i figured i would use the resources i had.. Neways... let me know what you guys think now.. BTW. Thanks for the link to the image, it helped much much more.. Last time i hade to create the helmet from my memory of the movie, so this time i had the visual.. Hope i can finish this off soon, going to bed now, its late!! Head
[SWS]Strider Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 That's is very good. I would like to see it skinned, it's sometimes hard to tell with just a model. That's very close (if not perfect) to perfection. Great job.
Cmdr. Antilles Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 Looks good, man. Dont' stop, and don't keep it to yourself!.
Delmar Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 I agree with Strider. Looks dead-on so far but seeing a skin laid on top of it would really make it easier to judge.
Epimetheus Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 I still think the fin is a bit too short... But what do I know?
Niblem Posted May 25, 2002 Author Posted May 25, 2002 Whoo hoo! ok over excited i guess.. here's the helmet skinned... yeah i know its not the same color as the models armor.. (need to re-skin that) but looks good i think, give me your input.. and on the note of the light on the fin.. where exactly does that go, and do you have an image of it? I dont remember a light in the movie.. hmmm... Skinned helmet
Gif Posted May 25, 2002 Posted May 25, 2002 Looks great so far...Head is still a bit to thick though...
YoDa2k2 Posted May 25, 2002 Posted May 25, 2002 Yes the model is NEAR Perfect, I agree that the helmit is a tad to thick but other than that its fine. btw when ur done with the model DONT FORGET that the CTF skins should be like the red and blue colored armor is the moive
Niblem Posted May 25, 2002 Author Posted May 25, 2002 Yeah I got the red and blue skins down 10 steps ahead of ya But is the head too think horizontaly or verticaly?or from front to back? My judgement is a little off... not many photo's to refrence from.. And what should i use for sounds? cause there arent any clonetrooper sounds yet... Are there any jango fett sounds yet? Cause i could apply a static filter like an intercom or CB radio sound... hmmm very tricky.. or i could just use the storm trooper sounds... i hope i can get a beta of this model working soon.. i'll keep you guys updated...
Ten Tigers Posted May 25, 2002 Posted May 25, 2002 Here is a 3/4 view of the Clone Trooper's head. It is the best shot I could find. Its a little small, but it does show how "bullet shaped" the head is. Minus the cheeks and head fin of course...
Darkhold X Posted May 25, 2002 Posted May 25, 2002 The helmet is alot better, but still lacks the harder shapes it should have. The front of the armor in the stomach region is a bit off also. http://www.theforce.net/episode2/newspics/CloneFig.jpg http://www.atomiccomics.com/pdg/clonetrooper.jpg http://stealthboy.dyndns.org/~msherman/images/clonetrooper_small.jpg
Tap[RR] Posted May 25, 2002 Posted May 25, 2002 Originally posted by Darth_spidey Better than you could do, stop harassing the mans work. Or I'll shot you with my AT-AT:atat: I dunno, more like motivation, i never harassed him or insulted. I encouraged him to keep trying, hell looks like it worked from the new head, great work, keep it up. Also i'd appreciate it if you'd well pardon my words but, grow up, there was no need to insult my skill.
Epimetheus Posted May 25, 2002 Posted May 25, 2002 I STILL think the fin is too short... I've only said it three times. I'm starting to sound like my mother with all this nagging! I'm going to go jump off a bridge in light of my new revelation.
