IPHDTD Posted July 29, 2002 Posted July 29, 2002 yeah i agree, the face skin is a HUGE improvement over the last version. he looked tired before and now he is looking more and more like sidious
Grafox Posted July 29, 2002 Posted July 29, 2002 Toonces, I would apreciate it if you send the newest max file to me
Toonces Posted July 30, 2002 Posted July 30, 2002 Sorry Guys, I was way too busy this morning and forgot to send the e-mails, I'll pack him up now and send him over CT http://www.drivingcatstudios.com
Toonces Posted July 30, 2002 Posted July 30, 2002 That's a good question Chrono, I went looking a while ago and found that in the EU one of his clones used this saber http://www.drivingcatstudios.com/PalpCloneSM.jpg I was thinking that maby it would be funny to make his cane as a saber model CT http://www.drivingcatstudios.com
-Chrono_MOT- Posted July 30, 2002 Posted July 30, 2002 hmm...if I could find a way for my stupid version of milkshape to stop telling me it's unregistered it would be great...I could model one for you (and finish all of my models that I can't work on anymore because I don't have milkshape working).
icepool Posted July 30, 2002 Posted July 30, 2002 Hey this model is gonna kick ass. Great job Toonces and Grafox.
Toonces Posted July 30, 2002 Posted July 30, 2002 Nah, no update from me tonight, I didnt have any time to work on my own skin. §ith Lord sent me an early version of his head skin and I must say it's fantastic I put it in modview and it's a dead on resembelence. I'll post a shot if he doesnt mind, it's his call though CT http://www.drivingcatstudios.com
§ith Lord Posted July 30, 2002 Posted July 30, 2002 check your email again Toonces, updated face texture. still haven't fixed the nostrils though. maybe tommorow, im beat. Id appreciate it if you did post some pics, I would like to know the publics opinion
Toonces Posted July 30, 2002 Posted July 30, 2002 heh, the nostrils are basically in the right position, you have them basically right about where the noze begins to curve back I'm a little sleepy, but I took one quick screenshot before I'm off to bed http://www.drivingcatstudios.com/sithPalpatine.JPG It looks great from over here You heard the man, he wants feedback CT http://www.drivingcatstudios.com
Luuke Posted July 30, 2002 Posted July 30, 2002 the eyes look just right now!!! congratulations, it was worth all these corrections! the chin is perfect, too. but i think the nose is a little too small now, i don't remember that this problem was on any earlier screenshot, so it's maybe because of you having something changed, or the skin makes the nose that small. apart from that it looks awesome!!!
t3rr0r Posted July 30, 2002 Posted July 30, 2002 Originally posted by Luuke but i think the nose is a little too small now, it's michael jackson! no, j/k. it's much improved, though. i'm liking the direction it's going.
Kn1ves Posted July 30, 2002 Posted July 30, 2002 Whadya mean j\k? It's Sith Jackson! OMG!!! Anyway Looks good The skin itself should be mostly diffrent shades of grey-white but it still looks great! Just erm... The nose?
keo718 Posted July 30, 2002 Posted July 30, 2002 This model has improved basically with every pic without fail. The eyes, thumbs up. The chin, thumbs up. I even like his expression. I also like the way you did the skin to where his wrinkles blend in. However, the wrinkles I think need to be slightly more defined. I also agree that the nose is a bit too narrow at the bottom, and the skin tone a bit too heallthy. Finally, you might want to make his mouth and chin slightly wider. You are VERY close. Great job. Edit: One more thing. his mouth position should go up like a centimeter or two, as well as his chin. His mouth is closer to his nose in the reference shot.
Grafox Posted July 30, 2002 Posted July 30, 2002 Update! With the new model! http://home.quicknet.nl/qn/prive/j.hagmeijer/palpscreen.jpg
IPHDTD Posted July 30, 2002 Posted July 30, 2002 it looks good and all but i think that the hood shadow should be fixed, his face isnt flat and the shadow makes it look like it is, it shouldnt be so straight. it can accent the wrinkles more if it is altered a little. not alot but enough to make it more realistic looking. id also make his eyes a little greyer, they seem to be too bright and stand out quite a bit, his eyes didnt seem that bright in the movies.
inbredyokel Posted July 30, 2002 Posted July 30, 2002 Definitely getting closer with every pic. One thing about skinning shadows though is to keep in mind that you don't want an incredibly defined border. When in-game, light could presumably be reflecting off of dozens of surfaces creating a much softer effect. If you're in photoshop you'll probably want to use the airbrush with one of the larger soft brushes(circular with blurred outer edges) on overlay with a lower opacity to define a rough edge to the shadow, and then layer your way up to the top of the head, ever-so-slightly darkening as you move upward and outward under the hood.
Darth-Nasty Posted July 30, 2002 Posted July 30, 2002 very nice work! I think it was good that you listened to the constructive critiscism after the first skin pictures cos everything is looking really good now! I dont know much about the stages a model needs to go through before release but as this model has worked in game and the textures are in the final stages am i right in thinking a release isnt far away? or are there other things you have left to do?
Luuke Posted July 30, 2002 Posted July 30, 2002 looks great, so it must have been your skin that made his nose look strange. the new skin from grafox is very well done and comes very close to the emperor! NICE
§ith Lord Posted July 30, 2002 Posted July 30, 2002 Alright, I fixed his micheal Jackson nose, I made his skintone more dark, and grey. and defined his wrinkles alot more. I emailed Toonces the texture, so Ill wait for him to post the pic
Toonces Posted July 30, 2002 Posted July 30, 2002 Cool, I'll watch my inbox Very nice GraFox, I really like how he's coming Arco sent me his first screenshot, it looks great http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/cottages/genq3/palpatine1.jpg I'm so pumped up, we've got three great skinners on this project All three of you guys just blow my mind every pic Darth-Nasty, your right, the model is essentially finished. I have to re-map the hood which is way off, but other than some weighting issues (the hood clips a little, the bottem of the robe has a slight problem) the model is basically final, it's mostly just skinwork now.
