Lord Darkblade Posted June 11, 2002 Author Share Posted June 11, 2002 ok, tell me *exactly* what to name the tags for the saber blade and for where the hand of the character is placed. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madjai Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 to make things simple, select your saber and center it at 0,0,0. then do the same with the tag, tag_flash (the blade) just delete tag_parent, it wont be needed when your sabers at 0,0,0. Then move your saber up or down so that the xy axis is where you want the players top of his hand to be. if it doesnt look good just move the saber up or down some more and recompile.

SpoBo Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 looking good already but idd its a bit too high damn it would be cool to make my 0wn lightsaber héhé That would make me a mature jedi So what proggy are you using ... milkshape ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Darkblade Posted June 12, 2002 Author Share Posted June 12, 2002 V!G, have you gotton your saber working yet? If you have do you think you could take a look at my tags and try to fix them. I am getting absolutly nowhere and I have a feeling it is in Milkshape. I imported Luke's saber from the assets0.pk3 file and exported it without touching a thing (I had to create the control file though, which I think might be where the problem is) and the saber dosn't work after exporting it. Any input would be greatly apreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Darkblade Posted June 25, 2002 Author Share Posted June 25, 2002 GREAT NEWS!!!! I have gotton the saber to look and work as I would like it to IN GAME!! I either need somone to UVmap and skin the model or some tutorials on how to UVmap myself and then I will need a skinner. Would some skinners with some good work and experiance please e-mail me some pics of their work if they are interested in skinning the saber. E-mail me P.S. I have some goodies for you all...

Pedantic Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Wow, looks good. I'm sure it'll look better when skinned though, 'cause now it looks like he's holding an ear of corn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Darkblade Posted June 26, 2002 Author Share Posted June 26, 2002 I found that with Ultimate UnWrap3d that I can get the skin mesh but I can't export the mesh unless I buy the program (which is either $20 or $30) If anybody owns this program could you please give me an e-mail and tell me if you would be interested in unwraping it for me. Otherwise I guess I will just buy it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emon Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 *Emon didn't bother to read all that because he's tired* Are you going to have B.M.F. inscribed in it like the real one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedantic Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Heheh, that would be funny as hell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klorel Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 You should just buy it. Your saber model looks great, and i'm sure this isnt the last model your going to make, might as well make a small invesment in your hobby. 20-30, just think of it as another birthday present or something. As for the B.M.F. if you do it like its supposed to be on the model, i say go for it, be as accurate as possible (if you can get some adequite ref. pics).

Padawan_Felix Posted June 29, 2002 Share Posted June 29, 2002 Originally posted by Lord Darkblade I am going to test my skills at the Mace Windu saber from Episode II. Somthing I will need from the community (with all it's vast resources) is a bunch of reference pics of his saber in action, static, powered up, down whatever...anything with his saber in it I need. One other thing I might need is a skinner but I will ask when the time comes that I am ready to do so. Thanks for all your help guys and if you need to send the pictures to me and can not post them here please send them to zcoldfusion@hotmail.com I know a good address its http://www.lightsaberworld.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Darkblade Posted June 30, 2002 Author Share Posted June 30, 2002 Thanks Cyper, I sent you a reply but had not read your post here yet so I told you I would have to mesh it first. I would be glad to send you the model if you think you can mesh it. I'll send you another e-mail too. Sorry for the confusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Darkblade Posted July 1, 2002 Author Share Posted July 1, 2002 Hey just wanted to give you all another update on the model. The model is complete, the skin and mesh will be underway soon, and I have completed the stance icons so you see mace windu's saber there instead of kyle's and I also redid the weapon selection icon for when you are changing weapon so that mace windu's saber hilt is there as well. ~Lord Darkblade~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Darkblade Posted July 1, 2002 Author Share Posted July 1, 2002 This will most likley be the last update until the skin is finished, at which point I will release the model. This is a screenshot of the new stance icons and of the weapon selection icon. Thanks for your support guys...: http://lorddarkblade.clanpages.com/saber/shot0135%20(Strong).jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
