The Librarian Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Just posting this in a new thread now that I am definately making Anakin. I just want to get a few thoughts .. - How should I do his braid? Tucked into his shirt or just hanging down his back( which will look unrealstic when he's flipping etc, does this matter to anyone?) - And er ... do people mind if I use Kyle's hands? They are fine for an ANakin model I think... I will model new ones if this is an .... ethical issue that people have a hard stance on.. I've attached what I've done on the model to bones etc ... I put a pic of the animated mesh on the site http://www.geocities.com/rabid_apeau ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKPiggott Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Wicked model mate... I'd say use Kyle's hands... doesn't make any sort of difference with me... have the braid going along down the front... it won't look as unrealistic in a forward flip then....

Anavel Gato Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Lookin's good! The legs seem a bit thin. But that might be the lighting in the render too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garik Loran Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 YES!!!! I am looking forward to an Anakin model and this on is really promising. As for the braid...make it like in the film, I doesn't care if it won't look 100% perfect when you do a flip. If you need some pics just tell me, I have collected loads of Anakin images as I am a big fan of him. Keep up the good work and keep your time, it's worth the wait.

Epimetheus Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 There's nothing wrong with tight pants on some people... Oh, wait. Yes there is. There really, really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oobedoob Benobi Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 Yes the pants need to be baggier, and if you really want to be exact the part of the boot ankel up is also thicker. looks good so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garik Loran Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 Did you make some progress? I'd really like to see some new pics. I don't want to make you hurry, I am just excited on that model. So IF there are news please tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epimetheus Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 Looking good. It'll be nice to see him skinned and um... with a head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy867 Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 Are you going to make a 2nd version of him with a black jedi robe? cuz that's the one version of Anakin I've been desperately awaiting for... Your model looks awesome, much better than the one all ready available for download, but I am anxiously awaiting a robed anakin skin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Librarian Posted May 29, 2002 Author Share Posted May 29, 2002 I hadn't planned to Andy ... it would be difficult to do convincingly.. But I will see how I feel after finishing this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sartis Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 Looking good.. Also there to those that want 'jedi robed' Anakin and are upset this is a model when there is already a skin out hta tlooks like it, Models are WAY better than skins, Unless the person is say Thrawn were he just wears a Empire uniform with blue face black hair. But anakin's outfit in Episode 2 was way baggier than any model out there, also his hair is different. Since Anakin is such a major part in the SW world makes sense we get the best quality of him to play in the game. IE Model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedantic Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 This model is lookin' good...now it just needs a head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalVapor Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 No its looking OK but not really good yet. It still needs plenty of work. my advice, look at lots of Jedi costume references, not just anakin. this is because it is usualy hard to get a perfect look at anakins costume because of his commonly over-dynamic posing. But aside from color and texture its really almost no different from Obi Wan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Odisse Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 I don't see too many problems with it, though the sleeves need to cover more of the hands: http://www.vengeance-unlimited.org/Jedi%20Outcast/promo2_anakin.jpg Maybe not as much as this but at least up to where the fingers and thumb connect to the hand should be covered by his robe sleeves.

Oobedoob Benobi Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 I disagree if you look at this picture http://www.vengeance-unlimited.org/Jedi%20Outcast/promo1_anakin.jpg the sleeve ends about at his wrist and that is close to where it ends on the model. He might want to move the sleeve down a little more if he really wants to be exact but i would say it is close enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Odisse Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 That's because his sleeves have been moved up slighty for the picture, his undergarment is now also a lot more visible in that picture as well, this image shows that his hands are completely covered by his sleeves when they're at his side: http://www.vengeance-unlimited.org/Jedi%20Outcast/Anakin_back.jpg http://www.vengeance-unlimited.org/Jedi%20Outcast/Episode%20II/Scans/AS-1.jpg http://www.vengeance-unlimited.org/Jedi%20Outcast/Episode%20II/Obi-Wan/Hi-resolution_Obi-Wan_Anakin.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oobedoob Benobi Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 Hmmm I see, it seems like in my picture there is some sort of bracelet on both of his wrists and the ends of the sleeves are under them so they don't cover up his hands. However in the other pictures his arm is down so the sleeve is extended out all the way. I think that in the model if some of the sleeve isn't made so it looks a little bunched up it should be extended to about where the thumb starts or have some sort of bracelet thing on both of his wrists and have the sleeves puff out a little more and then go into the bracelets.
