Nanodagiardino Posted June 25, 2002 Posted June 25, 2002 Considering that the graphic engine alters luminosity, I think his colors are spot on! Superlative skin Kman.
Sounds Risky Posted June 25, 2002 Posted June 25, 2002 Does Dooku/Tyrannus really have that big of a gut?
nomad Posted June 25, 2002 Posted June 25, 2002 Great job! And yes, his outfit is actually shades of brown. How are the next stages coming along? Has he been weighted? I'm looking forward to downloading this nice peice of work, but make sure you take how ever much time you need. Are you planning on adding Dooku's sounds yourself? Give a post if you need any assistance with that part of the project. Thanks for the hard work. Dooku is definately worth it. Wow, three questions... I hardly ever ask questions. Sorry -nomad
Uber Sith Posted June 25, 2002 Posted June 25, 2002 Oh wow Dooku looks amazing......And his gut is old man gut which is exactly like it is in the movies.....not like the 8 pack toys which are compleatly ridiculous hahahahaha I think he's done skinning now..nothing else thats there
Luuke Posted June 25, 2002 Author Posted June 25, 2002 the skin is absolutely brilliant KMan, I'm afraid my Model doesn't do it justice. Anyway. work started adding the skeleton to the model, but since i have only very few time at the moment this may take a while. we have all Ep2 sounds in high quality, but you can make suggestions what you want for a taunt and so on...
Sounds Risky Posted June 25, 2002 Posted June 25, 2002 How about: "As you see my Jedi powers are far beyond yours."
MustaPekka Posted June 25, 2002 Posted June 25, 2002 My thoughts on this one are confused (talking about skin). As a normal custom skin, it is really great; but as an Dooku skin, it just doesnt cut it. I just do not understand, why to do the face from the scratch and have less resambling, than just simply use the face from the photo; in that way Dooku really looks Dooku, not just some puffy old man. Just look at the Padme model that is in construction, it uses photo as an face, and the effect is really stunning.
Tap[RR] Posted June 25, 2002 Posted June 25, 2002 Cause photos blur, for 1, 2, theyre hard to map, hard to geta good photo off the whole face, diffrent photos of him at diffrent scenes and expressions dont work, and 3 photos suck and show lack of ability or skill. This ISNT jk1 editing this is jk2, get used to it..

omegapsob Posted June 25, 2002 Posted June 25, 2002 Wow...The skins really great. I guess he's nearly done skinning and should be released soon... Gd Job Kman

I don't understand how you can think to apply a 2 dimensional photo to a 3 dimensional object without incuring in major disproportions, distortions, unrealistic lighting, etc. Fixing it requires more work and only has the result of blurring and distorting even more. BTW I don't like the padme model skin at all.
morphius_doh Posted June 26, 2002 Posted June 26, 2002 What is the matter with you, the Padme model is the best one yet to be created! Get your head examined!
Delmar Posted June 26, 2002 Posted June 26, 2002 Maybe I'm wrong, but I think photos CAN be placed on models and come off well. Here's one that was done of me: and . Please don't flame me for pimping my own material here, I'm just trying to convey a point.
Grafox Posted June 26, 2002 Posted June 26, 2002 Yes, but this is because you got a photo with correct lighting, correct angle and a correct texture map. Still, almost anyone can make a photo-skin.
Garik Loran Posted June 26, 2002 Posted June 26, 2002 It's the same with drawing comics, you could make a photo-story, but it's more than that, it's art, and I think a painted face will focus on the character, and not on the actor.
SirYawnalot Posted June 26, 2002 Posted June 26, 2002 So you're saying you'd rather have a skin of that hideous make-up-encased Queen Amidala than our gorgeous Natalie Portman in her AOTC skin-tight whites? It takes skill to be able to fix the distortions a 2d photo makes when mapped to a 3d model, the only type of skin that "anyone can do" is one that looks crap. Those ones came out soon after the game's release, it's only now that we're starting to get the really decent stuff, and almost all the WIP's I've seen in this forum look great, be they photo-realistic or not.
Rajess MoDuron Posted June 26, 2002 Posted June 26, 2002 Can we please stop arguing? Both are nice when done well, both work, and I don't really care either way. Now PLEASE let us focus on the point of this thread, which is looking at this absolutely GORGEOUS Dooku model?
nomad Posted June 26, 2002 Posted June 26, 2002 For the Taunt, I second Quote "As you see my Jedi powers are far beyond yours." But I would also include a couple of lines assigned to other actions in the game. "Back down" "Brave of you (does he say "Boy"/can't remember)" "Join me (delete Obi-Wan) And together we will destroy the Sith!" "You dissapoint me." Some of those could be tied to anger 1-3, combat 1-3, jdetected, victory, gloat, etc. Does anyone have a list of ALL the sittuations that you can assign sound to? And there definitions would be nice, right? Great work -nomad MTFBWY
morphius_doh Posted June 26, 2002 Posted June 26, 2002 Another taunt could be "Surely you can do better that!" or he says something like that when fighting Obi Wan.
Darth Torgo Posted June 26, 2002 Posted June 26, 2002 Consider that Christopher Lee has been in LOTS of films and I'm sure he's had some good non-SW lines that would sound very Dooku-ish. Just a thought. - DT
Eklin Posted June 26, 2002 Posted June 26, 2002 Man, that is the best model ever. It looks great without the super shine on his face. I hope to be seeing this up for download sometime soon.
Pedantic Posted June 26, 2002 Posted June 26, 2002 Quote Originally posted by morphius_doh Another taunt could be "Surely you can do better that!" or he says something like that when fighting Obi Wan. I made a recording of that...it should be on the first page.
Uber Sith Posted June 27, 2002 Posted June 27, 2002 or even these ones "Brave ...but foolish" "I have become more powerful than any jedi..even you" "Surely you could do better' those owuld sound the best.. dooku looks great....i was thinking maybe you could do a level where ya can play dooku vs a NPC replacing yoda in a really well made Geonosian hanger i think that owuld be cool
