The Librarian Posted June 18, 2002 Author Share Posted June 18, 2002 Alright ... I've taken the plunge and put a shot of the face onto the image page ... I've put a hash-job skin on it which is just from one of the photos Elessil gave me of Anakin .. The reason the eyes are looking at the camera is because I havent done much work in that area and the image file is skinned over a flat object placed just behind the empty eye sockets .. if you get my drift .. Sorry its taking so long but it eing my first model .. I want to make it just right... It still needs lots of work http://www.geocities.com/rabid_apeau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory_Vetack Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 It looks awesome....Great Face....The only suggestion i have is to clear up the "seam" along the miggle of his face... It looks kinda weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphius_doh Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 If you need help with this process get a hold of Anavel Gato. He's done a great with his Padme model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomad Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Well if you can keep that up, this should look great. The face fit pretty well on the model. It definately retained his likeness, and if it's only going to improve... well then he will become the most powerful Jedi ever! I would definately include his "Most powerful Jedi ever!" quote. Good luck. -nomad MTFBWY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Librarian Posted June 18, 2002 Author Share Posted June 18, 2002 I havent merged the two halves together, thats why the seam is there I think ... its an easy fix... I'm not sure if it really looks like him yet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weapon X Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 great lookin model and head, but in my opinion the lighter side of the face looks more like the actor that played anakin, maybe it's just the lighting but the two halves of the face look different to me i have bad eyes anyway so don't be offended, anyway keep up the good work and keep us up to date w/pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Librarian Posted June 18, 2002 Author Share Posted June 18, 2002 You're right ep2 anakin .. Keep in mind this is just a quick skin job and the picture I used wasn't from straight on ... Your eyes aren't that bad.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReIIiK Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Librarian, can the good side (left) be fliped or reversed on the other side in photoshop? And PS the head model looks awsome, great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThugginSithLord Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Can you post a side shot? And it looks like there can be some edges turned in the shoulder area. And from the front, it looks like he has shorts on. The knees they look a bit odd. I can't really explain it but they just see, a bit odd. And the leather thing that goes over his shoulders shouldn't be connected. Its parted just a little bit. Well thats all I can say, right now.

Elessil Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Great work Lib! I was planning on using a photo as basic for the face texture, but with a few edits and stretches, because in my opinion that works best for achieving a likeness Keep upn your great work!

remark 666 Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Originally posted by Elessil 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. thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphius_doh Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 There is only one problem with taking the good side of the face and flipping it so you can use it for the other side. The problem is that no face has identical sides, so if you do the above, it may not look like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Librarian Posted June 19, 2002 Author Share Posted June 19, 2002 Weeelll .. I tried using the same image for both sides ... heres what I came up with.. see what you think.. http://www.geocities.com/rabid_apeau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReIIiK Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Needs some blending between his nose and lip, but other then that its looking awsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grafox Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Agreed. Also, you should make a higher resolution skin, this one is kinda blurry/scratched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Librarian Posted June 19, 2002 Author Share Posted June 19, 2002 yer the lip problem is an easy fix .. dunno why I over-looked it. Grafox, Elessil will be skinning it properly so don't worry about that ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphius_doh Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 As far as the different colour issue, you fixed that, but to me, it looks even less like Anakin than the first one you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like him to me, even better because the sides match, only problem is the low rez skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garik Loran Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 I haven't answered to this thread in a while, but I was always glad to see progress of the model. And it's a great one. Ok, this is possibly not so important right now, but if you need taunts for him I could send you some to choose from, and I am also trying to get enough sounds to make a complete sound package for him. But I don't know if that's possible, I will try to get as much as possible and then I'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Librarian Posted June 21, 2002 Author Share Posted June 21, 2002 Thanks everyone, for your thoughts .. Garik Loran, if you do compile a bunch of taunts that would be great, let me know when you do .. I hadn't really given much thought to that side of making a jk2 model .. At the moment I'm working on the rest of the head ... when thats done Ill do a bit more work on the body, then I'll need to get down to the gruelling (in my opinion) task of unwrapping the mesh .. what fun!!
