CheshireKat Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Toonces, some sugestions for you. Model some wrinkles in his cloak, and before you go any farther you need to think about the game. If his sleeves stay the way you have them, they will point outwards once he's ingame. They need to be drawn backwards to they look right ingame. Keep at it!

Toonces Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Thanks for the additional refrence pic Will definatly help me out with detailing. CheshireKat : The sleeves were something I was thinking about, I was going to actually post a message about that but you beat me to it I'll fix thoes asap I'm definatly going to model some additional wrinkles into the model, I was just getting ansy to get into Photoshop, so I UV mapped the head. I was hoping that with my friends help (he has a copy of Softimage3d) that I would be able to animate the robe to give it some flow, but it looks to be a real hassle I'm a pretty inexperenced modeler so I really apprishate how helpful everyone here has been Hopefully my art background will be able to overcome my modeling inexperence I've gotten the face to look quite a bit like Palp, I'll post an update as soon as I get a little further along CT P.S. ET? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirYawnalot Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Yea, ET as in Spielberg's short extra-terrestrial with a finger/forehead and telephone fetish. You've got to admit there's an amazingly strong resemblance between him and our Sidious, perhaps they're really the same person. Or something. Or perhaps I should be quiet and wait patiently for you to finish this highly groovy model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonces Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 heh, yeah, now that you mention it they do look quite a bit alike Now that's a good idea for another model, ET! I figured I'd write an update since the post fell down a few pages. The skin for the face is really shaping up nicely, I still have quite a few lines to add to it, but I'm convinced that I'll be able to nail the face completely I was skiming through RotJ late last night looking for potential sounds when I noticed something I hadnt noticed before. Sidious appears to have a light weight gown on the interior of his robe, complete with a rope belt on his waist, so I decided to open up the front of the robe completly, and model the inner robe, Should look really cool in game I also sloped the head down a bit more, and brought the hood over his face a little more He's getting there, step by step CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonces Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 It's been debated to death. I'm convinced it's the same guy, and that doesnt even have anything to do with the fact that the same actor plays both charecters in episode I & 2 and played the Emperor in Return of the Jedi Anyway, this would belong in the skining forum if not for the fact that I'm making a model too http://www.boomspeed.com/toonces/sidface2.jpg I flipped out when I rendered this shot, needless to say I'm :D I have some finishing touched to add to the face, and the body of the model, then I can begin to texture the rest of the model More to come CT (I love this icon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomad Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Cool! Layered robing... I love it. I figured you just didn't want to be bothered with the extra robing. Gad you've added it. Best of luck! -nomad MTFBWY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomad Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 OOOOHH! That face is getting there! The lines are looking great! Excellent job! I just saw this after I posted. Guess I could have just edited my post, but I wanted you to see that I think it's looking tremendous. Let your HATRED flow! With each passing moment you are becoming more and more the model's servant. -nomad MTFBWY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonces Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 heh, nah, I just never saw it before. It's been a while since I've seen RotJ, and I pretty much just did the model from refrence pics. Once I knew it was there, it would have bugged me too much to release the model without the inside layer Glad you like the face CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradFu Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Very nice job on that face, Toonces!! This guy is looking great! And that crap about Palpatine not being Sidious, you guys really should give that up. It's been very definitively stated by Lucasfilm that they ARE the same person. There is no room for debate. It's like saying "Perhaps the sun is really made of brocolli." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomad Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Bradfu, I've actually heard that the sun may be made of a type of broccoli. It has some similar moleculer make-up within it's protien structure and the photon pattern of certain light waves tastes very good with cheese which has led to some scientists hypothesizing that the sun may in fact be made of some form of green vegetable and most probably a distant relative of broccoli. So, you'll be happy to know, that by eating a minimum of 2 grams of sun each day, a person's chances of getting cancer is reduced immeasurably. Er, at least that's what I read on the internet. -nomad "I love democracy. And I love the Republic." MTFBWY Just to stay on topic: Yes Toonces, I am really liking the face!

Toonces Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Thanks Brakiss I've got a request for the community, does anyone have any really close up (and detailed) pics of the symbol that sidious wears on his colar? I've found a few semi-close pics, but nothing I can find shows enough detail for me to skin it I'm going to try to finish modeling tonight or tommorow so I can start skining the rest of him (and the tedious job of weighting and taging) CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarExc Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Im a Sidious freak so I can tell you anything you need, http://webhome.idirect.com/~tk421/DSbrooch2001sm.jpg thats as close as it gets. I actualy own one of these as well =) but not from this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomad Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 DOH! Toonces I just went to The Magic Of Myth:Star Wars Exhibit at the Brooklin Museum the other day. They have tons of actual movie costumes and props. It is an Absolutely Awesome experience. If you live anywhere NY, you should definately check it out. Anyway, the reason for my Homerism is that they have the Emperor's Robes in a display case, complete with all the robes, his cane and his cloak clasp, but my digital camera ran out of batteries BEFORE I got to his display! The clasp is very strange. It's actually a rectangle with strange holes and contours carved smoothly into it's surface. It looks like it could be made out of something like hematite, or some other type of shiny, smooth rock. It really looked different than I thought it would. In the movie it usually shines and it gives the appearence of a carved metallic clasp, but it's actually a stone (possibly dark grey metal) rectangle with routed carvings. I can try to draw it from my memory, but I'll also check what reference photos I may have (I've got a few books that might have good stuff, including the one I grabbed at the museum) Also I'm picking up my girlfriend's pictures later, and I'll see if we took any pics of the almighty emperor with what was left on her roll of film. Small detail, but the more the better right? I may even go back to the exhibit next week. Not sure if I should Hope I can help -nomad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonces Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Nice, thanks DarExc! That'll be a godsend That website has some nice pics of the robe that I might be able to use Nomad, your discription is dead on. Don't you hate when you run out of film? It definatly looks nothing like I thought it did, I thought it was curved I didn't know there was an exibit up there. I actually live in central NJ, so it's pretty easy for me to get to the city, I should really go up and take a look. How long is it running? I'd love to get a natural light shot of his robe for the texture, I really want to nail the pattern on it CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
