Deetox187 Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 My vote goes to the smirk skin, looks more evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kn1ves Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 No smirk That way he's even more creepy! But for some reason, from the angles which are not directly infront of him, the nose suddenly seemed abit off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t3rr0r Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 after closer inspection, i agree with no smirk. http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/palpatine/img/curve.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphius_doh Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 No smirk. You could set up a poll for this so the results are easier to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Fisto Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Definatly no smirk. The smirt looks good and it does look evil, but because it is a perminant expression it should be something more neutral, like the constant frown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzano Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Nice work man. As everybody else I'm very much looking forward to using this model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keo718 Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Sith Lord, its pretty much a wrap with the face you nailed it, congradulations. 10/10 on your first try! (note: The yellow around the eyes on the smirk skin looks better than on the no smirk skin, but I guess you just didn't get around to it) Asked for smirk/no smirk.... Hmmmm. I think I'd have to go with... no smirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deetox187 Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 LOL thats funny everyone since me wants no smirk, either way i don't really care as they both look sweet. But IMO the smirk not only looks better it fits the character better, in ROTJ the Emperor almost always had an evil smirk on his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keo718 Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 I think you should definatly change the mouth to something different. Maybe a deep frown would look good? Anyway at the moment the smirk is to subtle, he kinda looks like a chimp I can see why you said that. It has to do with the dark shading below the nose and above the lip. Besides that the skin is pretty much there. The models head may be too round (cheeks come out too much) compared to the pic, but thats a modeling issue. http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/palpatine/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Toddy Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 I like both models, how about doing the smirk model, then doing the no smirk model? I'd download both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpYzEr Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Whats the progress on this great model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arco Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 if you wanted you could do a simple shader that uses both smirk and non smirk on the same skin. So every so often he would smirk... if you wanted. I have done it before I could do it again. on the holo palpatine at the mo it is a no go as I can't work out good enough shader code... i am still working on it so stick with me.

Kn1ves Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 I don't think good looking holograms (and I'm not talking about the crappy ghost effect they used on Morgan) are possible in JK2. The one they used with Mon-Mothma is not a model, it's a screen shot of the model which was then edited into two textures - back and front. It's a crappy effect really, with Anti-Aliasing it's all too obvious it's low res. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
§ith Lord Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Ok, so basically its looking like no smirk by a landslide, So that will be the skin we use. (Arco if you want to try the shader I think it would be cool. maybe when he kills he can smile ) keo as for the yellowing of the eyes. I forgot to add it to the no smirk. I will do asap. as for the nose I see what you mean on the differant angle shots. ill try and fix that too. and what exactly did you guys want me to do with the shading on his upper lip? make it more dark or light?? -Sith lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

§ith Lord Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Consider it done, I just emailed Toonces the updated facial textures, expect screens soon. I think Im going to let Arco skin the robe for me if he wants. He is very good at things like that and my free time is really running low. -Sith Lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in direct lightning I was also messing around with a few shaders earlier, I was able to make him transparent and blue with a little noise, but it definatly didnt look quite like holo palp. I'm just starting to learn how the shaders work though. If anyone can do it Arco can CT http://www.drivingcatstudios.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

§ith Lord Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 crap crap crap...Toonces those aren't my new ones. The nose is still messed up on the side views of those facial textures. I sent the new ones to you just now. Sorry... -Sith Lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonces Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 edit: just received the fixed textures, looks good on my end Sith I've been using it ingame for the last half hour or so and the skin tone is perfect.

keo718 Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Very nice Sith Lord. It will be perfect if Arco can work out the changing of expression on the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonces Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Ooooh, GraFox, he looks great On the head_hood_inner issue. I removed the inner section of the hood when I re-mapped the outside, the colors were bleeding through ingame and looked ugly. I was just planing on using a shader to mirror the texture on the other side. CT http://www.drivingcatstudios.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
