Toonces Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 Ok, I've smoothed it out a bit, and adjusted the hood a little more. The hood definatly needs just a tiny bit more tweaking and I'll be happy (Link removed due to being way old) I didn't forget you Epimetheus, I remembered to change the color on the hood so you could see how it will be it blends together Still tweaking the arms, I'll have to test them before I release it Oh, and andy, I was considering giving that a shot, Blood riots new model looks like that might be what your looking for. If BloodRiot doesnt mind, you could skin an Anakin on him and see how it looks. I might give it a shot though CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkhold X Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 The opening to the hood should have more of a bell kinda shape. Yours just goes straight down. http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/darthsidious/img/movie_bg.jpg OOOOoo http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=58804 his hood is shaped the right way. Thats the shape it should be. THats the only thing I see wrong with yours other than making the face a bit wider looking maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonces Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 I worked on is a bit this morning and the hood is rounded on the bottom. I'm unfortunatly not home right now or I'd post a shot. The model is esentually done, I'll be adding tags and weighting it tommorow. Now I just need to find a good artist that would be willing to skin it for me More shots soon CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonces Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Unfortunatly I haven't had too much time to work on the model in the last few days, but I figured that I'd post a new shot of the updated hood http://www.boomspeed.com/toonces/Sidioushood.jpg Not finished yet, but should give everyone a good idea where I'm going with it. More to come CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epimetheus Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Wow. He's got some serious baggage under his eyes. But that is accurate, I suppose. Palpatine is a very creepy man. Have you noticed the bags under his eyes got bigger from Ep1 to Ep2? Then by RotJ, he's got yellow eyes, red patches under his eyes, huge bags, and he looks like an albino.

Darkhold X Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Well you wouldnt be getting to much sun if you were sitting around that dark throne room in space, with that big ol hood either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarExc Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Don't make fun of Palpatine or I will smite you all! By the way good model, perhaps just make the sleeves just a bit longer and make a little rectangular bump for the Sith Clasp he wears under his neck.

Toonces Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Unfortunatly I havent had time to work on him yet this week. I have a little block made for his clasp, but since the hood isn t completed just yet I havent attached it to his chest. I'm definatly shooting for his RoTJ look, maby a little younger. Mapped the eyes this weekend, yellow and creepy I'll try to find time to work on him tonight, should have a few shots tommorow, I'll try to include his freaky eyes On another note, I have a friend in the industry (not a big SW fan ironically) who uses Softimage at work, I'm trying to talk him into animateing the robe for me. He's really busy, but who knows CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggin Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 The Model Looks great Originally posted by Epimetheus Still, Sidious and Emperor Palpatine have different hoods... Sidious' face is hidden, while Palpatine's is not so much while he sitting. But then again, his face was mostly covered when coming off of the shuttle in RoTJ... Sideus didn't want people to know he was really palpatine cause he had things as Palpatine so he hides his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epimetheus Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 I know, I know. Sidious had to live in the shadows like a warehouse on Coruscant before "moving on up, to the east side" to a deluxe palace in a more centralized area. But I noticed... maybe the robes are too smooth... I notice that they're always rippled in the films. Though that might be hard to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonces Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Sorry guys, been away for most of the week, I'll post some more shots in a few hours. Thanks for the bumps CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonces Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Alright, I know I promised screenies, they will hopefully come tommorow, the model looks pretty much the same as the last shots I've posted, his sleeves look much baggier, and I've almost nailed the face. Anyway, here's what's going on though. I've got a buddy in the industry (he has XSI 2.0.1) who I was trying to get to make some animations for our pal Lord Sidious. Anyway, to make a long story short , He gave me the CD's for his copy of Softimage 3D (3.9) which he doesnt have use for anymore, so I'm going to learn softimage (thankfully he will help me ) and attempt to make some animations for him (I have a really cool idea about the hood) More shots soon (I have to start adding some textures to my next shots (color is good) so Jediknightii.net will post a link to this thread too CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonces Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Thanks for the bumps, I'm glad you guys dig the model Here is another shot, it's not too diffrent from how it was before, mostly optimization and smoothing of some lines. I'm really happy with how the hood lays on the shoulders now. I still have a bit of work to do on the body itself, smooth out that line between the torso/hips, tweak some verts to bunch up the robe in some areas. http://www.boomspeed.com/toonces/Fullbodyshot.jpg I've begun to texture him, just the hood right now, I'll post some textured shots asap, I'm looking for the perfect peice of fabric to base it off of more to come soon CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkhold X Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 THe only thing I could suggest is if there is some poly count to work with yet, or soem ploys that arent needed were the are is to make some waviness int eh cloak. Even a realy good skinner might have a hard time making it not look so smooth. I think you kind of said somethign to the effect already, but thats all I think thats needed.

Toonces Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 His big secret is out now, Sidious is a crossdresser Still tweaking thoes verts, I'll post a shot when I get an effect I like (Being a perfectionist is very time consumeing) CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
