JediDante Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 Looks Sweet! Hope you have the black suit version though. BUMP:D
t3rr0r Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 Originally posted by Naphtali you can just make an alternate black outfit for him, the black one shouldn't be alternate. it should be default.
Garik Loran Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 The skin is black, but ingame it looks a lot brighter. This is easy to fix, I just have to correct the brightness, and then it is black. So no need to argue about this
Toonces Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 It's pretty much the angle I took the screenshot at that makes his hand look enormous. In game it looks normal size, and fits the saber nicely I'm going try and hammer out the clipping problems tonight. Got three things I have to do tonight, fix Dooku's weights, get some flats (Trebor) out to PIo Koon, and change Palps head a little bit. I'll try and have a polished glm out to you Garik tonight or tommorow edit: I didnt see your post before I wrote this Kman. I have the shoulders of the cape weighted as closely to the area they covered up as possible so they move together (clavical/humerous. I used the tibia for the area right around the neck, then alternat, then follow the upper/lower lumbars and the pelvis for the rest. The bottem of the robe is weighted to the pelvis, but I very lightly weighted the bottem of the robe to the tibias. If I don't do it that way the legs clip through a bit too much. I'll see what I can do though CT http://www.drivingcatstudios.com
nomad Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 Excellent! This looks to be a great addition for the Sith! I'm glad you guys got help from someone to get this model in game. (Way to go Toonces!) It looks great. I think the likeness looks even better in these in-game screenies. Can't wait This is great, because it looks like we'll have some very important characters represented extremely well, thanks to all you guys, along with SithlordII for Vader, Cheshire for Maul, and Toonces for The Emperor! Way to go! Thank you!! -nomad MTFBWY
Luuke Posted July 24, 2002 Author Posted July 24, 2002 ok, quick update: i'm doing the ctf colored skins right now. i hope that Toonces makes some progress correcting the clipping problems (i don't want to rush you). Garik has finished the bot-scripts and has all sounds together. with a little luck a release is not too far away... we will see.
LOUman Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 well, all this screenshots of the alpha are so great, i really don't know what to say! but the face needs some changes
Garik Loran Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 Originally posted by Luuke Garik has finished the bot-scripts and has all sounds together. Nope. I didn't do the botz scripts, but Grafox and Toonces did, and I don't have all the sounds, just the taunts. Originally posted by LOUman but the face needs some changes Changing the face, that's a good idea. Maybe I'll give Dooku a funny red nose.
LOUman Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 i did not mean that negative. i mean i would be glad if i just could do a ball as model but maybe its the skin... because his face looks a bit strange.
Toonces Posted July 25, 2002 Posted July 25, 2002 I'm having a little trouble getting one area of the shoulders not to clip in the back, but I've almost got it I'm goint to re-weight the back of the torso because I think that's my problem. I'll send try and finish up tonight and send it over to Garik for his inspection CT http://www.drivingcatstudios.com
Toonces Posted July 25, 2002 Posted July 25, 2002 Bumpage (crazy forums) Ah Ha! This thread was being evil and hiding 90% finished with the weighting guys CT http://www.drivingcatstudios.com
LOUman Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 well, it look darn good... but i really don't like the face. i know it's not photorealistic but it doesn't look like Christopher Lee.
KMan Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 What's the shader entry for the cape you have Garik? I'm using Q3 commands, and I think that may be part of the problem. This is what I have: models\players\gl_dooku\dooku_cape { { map models/players/gl_dooku/dooku_cape.tga rgbGen lightingDiffuse alphaFunc LT128 Is this what you have? } } I am so familiar with the q3 shaders that I'm unaware of the change between the other games. Also, I modified the pk3. There were 3 identical head skins and others so I deleted them and re-linked the skin files. There is no need to have duplicates for the team skins when there is no change.
KMan Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 There is some wackyness going on with these forums. Anyway, here is a pic of where I've got my skin to now. No more changes except for getting the chain to appear correctly. Image 9
Cyper Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 lovin' it, it all looks great, good job on the skin Kman. about my dooku saber Luuke or Garik Loran, whoever sees this first, it dosnt quite fit in the hands of player models well, i dont know if Toonces is going to fix that or what, i also gave it to Chrono, he said he would fix it awhile back, so he is also fixing it, so whoever does it contact me and tell me, i couldn't do it myself, that is the first saber hilt i have made for jk2. here is my email ebrey@charter.net
scottb Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 That kicks ass, I can't wait. Dooku is one of my favorite characters in the Star Wars universe and you guys made a very realistic model of him.
nomad Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 Great job! Dooku definitely has a presence about him that needed the cape in order to feel right in JK2. Thank you so much for the work that all of you have put in. Curious, what is your final decision on Dooku's taunt? Were you able to get any, and all, of the lines that you desired? -nomad MTFBWY
Toonces Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 Well, 100% now. I beleive I've done the best I can within the limits of the humanoid skeleton. (doesnt like capes) So I packed up a new pk3 and the max file and sent it off to Garik for inspection I absolutely love this model, I'm glad I could be part of it in some minor way CT http://www.drivingcatstudios.com
Grafox Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 Damn, this is even better. I'll have to wait until Garik sends me the pk3 for inspection.
Andy867 Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 For some reason, the outside cape seemed to be to red, seeing as how it was black in every part of the movie... Well, as you can tell from my previous posts, i've been re-working screenshots to how I thought they should look like... But the model and the rest of the skin look a million times better than what I could ever do... 2 thumbs way way up!!! Andy867 JK2Net File Master http://www.jediknightii.net
Luuke Posted July 26, 2002 Author Posted July 26, 2002 okay, for all of you who wouldn't believe me, here i have a pic that should end the discussion about the color of dooku's cape. this is one of the few pics where dooku stands in light and not shadow, and you can see clearly the different colors of his black suit and the brown cape! q.e.d.
Andy867 Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 Ok, fair enough, I deserved, that, I will still re-skin it to be black... and that's that:p I think Sith should always wear black, not brown, capes/robes... but maybe its just me... Andy867 JK2Net File Master http://www.jediknightii.net
