The Librarian Posted July 9, 2002 Author Share Posted July 9, 2002 Quick update to let you all know where the model stands at the moment. Okay .. I have basically completed the mesh. Just need to add the braid. It is now waiting for weighting, which I have been practicing lately. Jason W has kindly offered to uvw unwrap the model and provide flat meshes for Elessil, who will hopefully begn skinning the model soon-ish.. So, with a bit of luck, the model should be released .. erm .. in the not too distant future Thanks to everyone for their comments, advice and help.. - The Librarian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t3rr0r Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 what's going on with the skins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessil Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Sure, I can start skinning as soon as I receive the files... That is, if I can download them from here with this really wacky connection. I`ll start in 9 days the latest, when I am back home, but again, if I get the meshes earlier I will start right that second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyvader21 Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Now this is the information that I want to hear. The sooner the he gets the meshes, the sooner he starts, the sooner a new Anakin goes into my game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Librarian Posted July 12, 2002 Author Share Posted July 12, 2002 Slight setback folks. I'll now be unwrapping the model myself. This may take a while as I really haven't done it before. I have no idea how long it will take me, so I can't set an exact date or even a general one. Don't worry, I don't plan on giving up, this model ain't dead yet.... - The Librarian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphius_doh Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Are you willing to let anyone, who has experiance, unwrap it for you? I don't know how to do that, but just thought I'd ask anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Librarian Posted July 12, 2002 Author Share Posted July 12, 2002 I'd rather someone with a fair bit of experience. If it shaves a few weeks off the release date, I'm willing to let almost anyone who wants to have a go but I really would like someone with a past in modelling. Failing that, I'll learn to do it myself, which in the long-run, for me, is probably the best. Its just that I really want to release the model soon.

Jason_W Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Just to let you all know, I am still mapping this model, but since my progress seems to be kinda slow at the moment, and there are some areas of the mesh that look a nightmare, I have suggested to the Librarian that he find someone more qualified to have a crack. Since he is now doing it himself, I may actually finish before him, but who knows. Anyway, I got the full mesh on Tuesday afternoon (British time) but have only done the belt section and the skirt/tunic bit that goes below it. I'll keep you posted.

Weapon X Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 i think this thread should be closed to everyone but the model maker(s) because if only they post we know there's an update when it appears at the top of the forum instead of "can't....let...this...go...to....second....page! *force push to top of thread*" that just means everyone else who's thread has breaking news doesn't get read by anyone because 50 threads have that message so (don't flame me or anything:mad: )but that's my opinion so if you agree then cool, if you don't then f you i don't like reading *bump!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weapon X Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 i only posted in 3 threads (i think) padme, obi-wan, and anakin because these are my most anticipated models and i would only like to see updates on them, i'm sorry if it seemed like i was trying to boost my post count, because i don't care about that anymore (i know i posted some spam threads on a couple of threads but i don't do that anymore) i would just like my MP game to be graced with these 3 GREAT looking figures and, like i said, i would only like to see updates:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason_W Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Small update. Since I've been busy with other work comitments, I haven't done much more yet, but I'll be working on it Sunday (which I don't usually do) and so should get a good lot more done. As far as my skin goes, I'm working on one as I'm mapping (as a tester really, to make sure there are no warps in my skinmap), which is for a standard Jedi padawan, in more Anakin-ish gear than the Obi-Wan stuff. If I get it done quick enough, it may be released with the Anakin (or so the Librarian has suggested) And please, don't stop posting your support, if you do, I may give up Hwyl.

Havokidm Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Great model! I've been following this for quite some time and I have seen big improvements. One question: Are you going to make Anakin with outer robes as well. An example is the Tyrion model, which is neat because you can bind a key so that you can have the outer robes on or off. An Episode 2 Obi-Wan was done like that using the Tyrion model and I found that to be a nice touch. But I'm just saying, continue with the model as it is, because it kicks ass. Maybe the outer robe to come after a release? heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_W Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 No robes are in development at the time being. The modeling is finished, and is now being mapped. But who knows, maybe there will be for version 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eklin Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Don't bother making robes IMO. He only wore them for about 2 scenes in Ep2, and his regular Jedi garb is much cooler. I may have missed it, but I was wondering if you're gonna add the Padawan braid to the model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
