Epimetheus Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 This is why people don't make multiples of the same character. Modeling is a long process and most end up fine because of feedback. Thus, making multiple models of the same character is a waste of time for the fans. And yes, I know I sound like a complete ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedantic Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Different versions of the same model allow for different perspectives. This way, if someone didn't like one, they could get the other and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striderx2048 Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 this was already in progress if someone can build a better model then currently out, go ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonk-raider Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 Absath your out of line on this allow other people to share teh spotlike.. your acting like a over protective mother making sure everyone knows her little boy is the star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absath Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 lol gonk. i didnt tell him not to make his model. i didnt tell people not praise his model, because it is turning out rather nicely. i told people it wasnt fair to bash someone else's model, just because they like another one better. and you're just jealous cause your mother knew you would never be the star of anything, and didnt bother to be overprotective. get lost goat-raper. i mean gonk-raider. sorry. -Abs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nls Posted June 9, 2002 Author Share Posted June 9, 2002 yes, i'm still workin on it. Updated a few things on the model, I was going to start uvw mapping it now, and maybe have my friend skin it. Then comes the custom animations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oobedoob Benobi Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Cool. I hope you get to the animations part soon, it sounds very interesting. Also I don't know if someone has contacted you yet but I think the people doing the yoda model could use your help with you having softimage to get yoda in MP.

Kinja Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Hey, NLS, I was just thinking. Since there are already too good Vader skins out there that are awsome but slightly stylized. Why dont you have this Vader be done up like as realistic as possible. Anyway, just a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jipe Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 So, how are you going to export the animations from SoftImage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaJo Kesea Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 nls, Fabulous! Absolutely beautiful model of Darth Vader! Would you mind checking on something though? I could be wrong, but I think the base of the helm slopes downward at a steeper angle, so that the back is nearly touching the cape. I love it, nls. I really do. And if you are going to give Vader some custom animations, this will be mind boggling. But even if it doesn't work out, you still have a killer model I'll be sure to add to my lineup.

gUrSuMnCt Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 this model is awesome, is the size of the model same as all others?cuz vader is like 6'9 so he should be towering over people, is he gonna be taller?thats gotta be a must after that animation.cuz u do want to make it as acurate as possible since there already is another vader model.is he also gonna be really shinny looking?cuz he was bling bling'n in all the movies. o and are you going to use the same taunts and such and make a sp version of him like the other vader model?? id apreciate it if u replied to my post. thnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dogg Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Veerryy niice... That model is so good it's almost scary. And if that wasn't enough... When reding about the animations I was like Good luck to you on this project. Custom animations would be another huge leap for the community, just like getting custom models into the game was. Maybe that could push others to reach for those akimbo sabers and lightstaffs 'n stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absath Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 MP models are standardized, so Vader will be the same size as everyone else. In SP its a different story...... -Abs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gUrSuMnCt Posted June 29, 2002 Share Posted June 29, 2002 dude did this model die....cuz this and anakin and yoda are the only ones i want....i really really want this one too....the other vader one is great......but theres so much more that can be done to make it greater...and i see it all in this one....and second...the yoda model has done the so called "impossible"and it now solved the height issue in mp. dude this means you can make vader taller. since he was nearly 7 foot. and didnt you say you were gonna add animations to the cape and stuff?if so, is that why you havent been heard from?been working hard?id love an update...VADER KICKS ASS.period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
