nomad Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Hats Off! Man, these models just keep getting better and better! All this great work is so inspiring... Who is going to do the skin? Same as the modeller? Who is this masked man? -nomad May The Force Be With You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinja Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 There are 1100 polys in the head which is about exactly the same as my Yoda model:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinja Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Hey ya'll, heres a statement from the maker of Plo Koon: "Hello there, I have a couple of things I would like you all to know: First, a completed PLO KOON mesh should be finished by early next week (sorry it can't be any sooner but I do have other modeling duties which come first, though there is nothing more fun than Star Wars). Texturing or "skinning" will be taken care of soon after. Second, I've talked to Kinja on several occasions about doing a model for JKII, and he and I have gone over the polygon restrictions. Rest assured that when PLO KOON is finished he will be within the proper poly budget. In fact, he is coming along very smoothly. His head, which I have released a screenshot of, falls into my personal 1/3 of the polys for the head, 2/3 of the polys for the body scheme. Relax, everything is fine. Finally, I'd like like to say that though I will not be posting (save, an occasional message relayed through Kinja, like this one) I do read the posts often and I am aware of the costume differences. Here's where you come in. I would like to know which costume you folks (the ones who want to see this model happen), would like to see modeled. Will it be robes or no robes, or something else? So for those of you who want a say in the creation of this model, make sure you get your vote to Kinja, and when I sit down on Sunday (6/30) at 7:00 to model the body it will be the one that you wanted (that is, if you're in the majority). Thanks." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinister1 Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Thanks for the Update Kinja and Kinja's friend;) On the topic of robes or no robes...tough to say. Personally, I really like the way he loked in the Arena in Episode 2, with his robes. It seems as if the Jedi Masters more so wear robes, unless they get into a REALLY intense battle and the robes start bothering them. Here is an image with him in robes. http://www.sithclan.net/episode2/arena.jpg Thanks for making this model and keep up the great work, this could turn out to be the best model yet;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds Risky Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Isn't it possible to make both? If I had to make a choice though I'd go for without the robe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradFu Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 I'm going to vote for In-Robes, if that's what he wears in the Arena, those must be his fighting-clothes of choice It looks the most Plo Koon-ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinja Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Well, I think there all cool, but I would say thier all equally Plo Koonish, seeing how they are all... well, Plo Koon:) But I guess we'll let the vote decide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, this question may be coming way early, but will there be plans to allow this PLO KOON model to have full bot support and possibly a SP mod to allow to play with/against him in SP?

Nanodagiardino Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 No robes. The robes are very cool, but I don't like the way the engine handles robes. I like robes better but without the robes it would animate better, clip less, deform less, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harukaze Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 See, personally, I agree with BradFu [for the exact same reason actually]. Once enough models are done I plan on tossing them into the Geonosis Arena and see what happens. Thus, robbed would be nice... but I have to agree with Nano from a technical standpoint. So with heavy heart I add my voice to the no-robes vote. Although, if both could be done, without putting too much strain on a man [woman?] who seems to have professional commitments to keep, seeing both versions would both be nice and would allow for a whole multitude of reskinning possibilities. There are, of course, more Kel Dor than our friend Master Plo Koon. The no-robes version could be used for more un-Jedi-like skins as well as some Jedi, and the robes could be used occasional formal Jedi attire.

t3rr0r Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 i'd like to see the robed version. for reasons, see above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiPInSane Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 I personally have not seen Plo w/o his robes... So I think it would be quite difficult to make if you dont have a pic to go by... Correct me if Im wrong... I would have to see Plo w/o His robes before I can vote tee hee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Droidekas Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 WITHOUT ROBES Robes are so unrealistic in JO! Plo Koon looks better in robes, I agree. That's his fighting clothing of choice, I agree also. But he wasn't flipping/running/jumping around like crazy in the arena. Play and look at monmothma and tell me if that looks realistic. Robes look nice when static or little movement. Than there is the clipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
