Prophet Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 I know theres been a fair few of these made at some point, but so far there's none been finished. So here is my first new player model. I started this back before the tools came out, but gave up due to exams. I've since started on it again, and its now modelled, mapped, segmented and capped. The shot on the right is slightly out of date now, but it gives a better idea of the way the droid looks when standing http://www.btinternet.com/~browngreen/bdpreview2.jpg I've been following spacemonkey's tutorial on getting the skeleton imported, but I'm pretty confused with which tags I'm meant to use, and which I have to delete (if any). I have no experience with the use of bones or weighting either (all my previous work was just stationary models), so if anyone is willing to help me get this thing in game it'd be much apprecaited. I've started to draw up some skins, but if anyone else wants to try it out I'll happily send you the maps/mesh. EDIT: So you don'ty have to scroll through all the bumps, heres the textured model so far (still WIP) http://www.btinternet.com/~browngreen/bdpreview3.jpg EDIT AGAIN: It's almost done, just needs tagging and weighting. Unfortunatly I can't get these to work for some reason. As for skins, it's going to have seven - infantry, pilot, security and command, as well as the orange-pink geonosis droids. It also has an all red battle droid and an all blue droid for CTF. I'll post pics soon. EDIT YET AGAIN: An update with pics! Here's the various skins I will be including. Mostly done, though I'll probably still modify them. CTF colours Click for image Geonosis Droid. I'm not sure how accurate the colours are, but they seem pretty close to the one in my book. Click for image Security Droid. I've tried to go for accuracy with this model/skin (though the hips are a little off), and so all the variants are exact to the movies. I am aware the pilot and security droids do not have backpacks, and they won't in game. However I didn't bother to remove them for these pics Click for image Pilot Droid. Click for image And finally, the officer droid. Click for image I STILL need to get it in game lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradFu Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Very cool! Can't wait to replace the Stormtroopers with these guys in Single Player In fact, I've got an SP mod idea brewing in my brain that could probably make use of the battledroids BradFu!

Droidekas Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 It's perfect! I hope someone helps you quick with that complicated technical stuff and get this droide into the game! Sure would be fun hacking up droids! Don't forget the *roger roger* taunt! That is a must! (and way cooler than the *get behind him*) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Sandwich Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Very nice! I've been dying to replace my stormtroopers in the SP game with Clone Troopers or Battle Droids. But so far, none have been released yet (except for skinned Clone Troopers. They're ok, but they aint the "real" deal). Your Battle Droid model looks pretty damn good.

ReIIiK Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Sweet, been waiting for a BattleDroid model, going to use it to replace the Stormtroopers in the SP game. I figured I'd do kinda like my own SP mod, and replace all the models with skins and user-made models. Make it during the time of the Clone Wars, and do my own sound recording for it.

pud1 Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 some new animations for when they get cut by lightsaber would be cool taunt has to be "roger roger" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Fisto Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Taunt has to be: "Halt, your under arrest!" Great model, can't wait. Now all we need is a destroyer and one of those nifty SUPER battledroids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flippo Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Make sure you have skins for squad leaders and such. Like yellow or red stripes. Just like in the movie. edit: typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanodagiardino Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 The destroyer droid is one of the coolest droids ever to see the light in the alltime hall of fame of droidness... I also think that a destroyer droid with a lighsaber would be one of the clumsiest and most rediculous sight ever! I would pay to see this!!!

Destroyder121 Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 ErionD i have already gave him sounds & there were no roger roger but that does not compute your underarest were what i gave him as taunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophet Posted June 10, 2002 Author Share Posted June 10, 2002 I will be doing a SP addon that replaces the troopers with droids, and I will also have all the different skins. As for taunts, I found a "roger roger" sound clip that I will be using as the main taunt, though I can include more than one. (could it become as annoying as "Hey you there"? ) Still no luck with tags yet, really confusing stuff. Gonna have another look this afternoon. I'm also looking for a good way to reduce polys on the mesh for lods, but haven't found a decent tool yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiin Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 looks a lot more realistic than the one i made: pls email it to me when it's ready to put ingame , i've been waiting to play a battledroid forever :-) PLEASE email it to me when finished ( boarderjd@hotmail.com ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THats one part of the movie that would have made my life better if they would have done without. Soo stupid.... I have seen a few threads of people making battle droids, but they never seem to get past the modeling phase. I dont recall mention of yours zero427. Any shots of yours since you seem to be almost done yours? I havent seen one passed the state Prophet's is, but his mesh is quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the other members would brutally kill me if I did that judging by the reactions in this thread zero427/RunsWithScissors, I've emailed you. There were two versions of the battledroid released for Q3, so I don't see why there can't be two for JKII as well . I'm not really one to compete with others, I try to go for things others haven't generally, and it's probably my bad luck that the two I'd chosen to do were Kit Fisto (barely started) and the droid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
