Oobedoob Benobi Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 You could do that or if you had the time you could buy books on how to use such programs and then you will have skills needed to become a modeler or animator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReIIiK Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Well I'm doing that also, but its going to take some time, and many crappy models that I will not release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gUrSuMnCt Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 the model is looking great only a couple of things, waist should be skinnier shouldnt it? i think u should fix him up a lil thinner in areas and do whatever to make him look taller and lankier ay?o ya and with the hair, are you making the little ponytail in the back come out?and the briad coming down his right ear out to the front?o and what color hair are you gonna be doing?cuz in the ref pics...each one the hair looks really light blonde...dark blonde...orangy brownish and so on..i know cuz of the lightness in the area he got the pictures taken but which color are you gonna do?

The Librarian Posted June 11, 2002 Author Share Posted June 11, 2002 Im sorry about the lack of updates ... You see, the other day my friend lent me x-wing alliance and errr .... nuff sed ..... I really want to finish this model and I'm going to persevere with it. The reason I guess its been so slow is that its my first real attempt at making a model and I'm still learning a lot of things .. Im still working on it in between playing alliance and i'm fine tuning the face at the moment ... Elessil, I can't upload those meshes in hotmail, so I think I'll just wait until I've done them all and then figure out a way to send them to you...

Steg Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 thats is truely amazing!!! it is the best model i have seen (even better than the padme 1 which is gr8) all we need now is a head and a skin 2 can u give us a realease date but very very nice! hope it comes out soon now all we need 2 work on is 1 saber in each hand mod that would kick so much arse!!!

morphius_doh Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 There is only a few suggestions and/or questions that I have: Right above the boots you need to make the pant legs bulge a little smaller, otherwise it looks like he has swollen knee caps. Will the bottom parts of his vest (below the belt where the two pieces separate) be free flowing or rigid? The only reason i ask is because they just look kind of funny being open that far apart on the model. The following are observations made from the photos that were provided in this thread: There are two straps torwards the top of the boots, will this be added as well? And if you look at the ankle area of the boots, it looks like there is a covering, that extends from this area to the top of the boots. Is this a covering that protects the actual boots?

The Librarian Posted June 12, 2002 Author Share Posted June 12, 2002 I'll answer a few of your questions .... About the tabs coming from the belt ... well I will attach them loosely to the bones in the legs, which means that when he is standing normally ie not spreading the legs out like that, the tabs will hang from the belt... They wouldn't look completely realistic unless they were animated by themselves (which I can't do without the right programs).. Umm .. I didn't want to go into too much detail on the boots, I was thinking that the straps and that little covering on the boots could be done in the skinning ... But, if you want that much detail, I might be persuaded .. once I've done the head... And Steg, I can't give an exact release date .. but hopefully I'll have it done before 3 weeks is up ... Can you wait that long? Im sorry its been so slow.. ANd I agree .. a double saber mod would be good, but difficult to do convincingly... gUrSuMnCt: I have deliberately made it that wide at the belt, if you look at some of the ref pics .. he's wearing his umm undershirt, then his tunic, then thick leather over the top, and that, plus the belt, makes him look a little wide-ish at the waist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessil Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Sure just take your time....my recommendation would be you get yourself some webspace at http://www.easyspace.com (it's free, you just have to look for their 25MB free offer, they hide it a bit), it has FTP uploading, get it up and give me a download link. BUt no rush, it's fine if I get the meshes when I'm completely done (though then people will only pester me and not both of us ) As for the boot straps, I'd say it would look nice if you added the two straps on top to the model. But that's only because I really think your model looks very very good and this whee bit could perhaps make it even a tensy bit better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Librarian Posted June 14, 2002 Author Share Posted June 14, 2002 I'll put some boot straps in then... I'll post an update soon .. I should be done with X-Wing Alliance in a day or so and then I'll get back into full production .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kezz152 Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 Just want to start off by sayin great model, cant wait 2 use it. I found this pic and thought it would be quite useful for modelling or skinning (or both) the outfit that anakin wears in episode II http://www.vengeance-unlimited.org/Jedi%20Outcast/Episode%20II/Anakin/Anakin_Composite.jpg Keep up the good work Kezz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphius_doh Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 That's a great reference pic. It should help with any of the skinning on the different layers of clothing, I'd imagine. I just have a question: Will this model come with new sounds, i.e screams, grunts, taunts, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Librarian Posted June 17, 2002 Author Share Posted June 17, 2002 The head is coming along .. It doesn't look that much like him yet, but with tweaking I am getting closer and closer every time I work on it ... Yer, Ill try and put as many new sounds as I can ... There have been a few suggestions for taunts already .. Thanks for the pic Kezz152 .. I've got that one, but thanks for your effort.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
