KingNacho Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Hey guys. I just downloaded GMax yesterday. This is the first 3D model I have ever created. I heard someone mentioning they wanted Yoda's Safety Blade, so I gave it a go. Tell me what you think: http://www.geocities.com/darthnacho69/wipyodasaber.jpg (Copy and paste into browser) or try your luck with Geocities and click it: http://www.geocities.com/darthnacho69/wipyodasaber (I figured it out...

snakeeyesa27 Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 It's too fat, and the little piece of metal on top is wrong (blunt). but otherwise very nice! You can just take kyle's saber texture, find one, or make one (use kyle's as inspiration) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup,t'would be it,s'upposed to be a quote "Hilt Gaurd",but wouldnt stand up to a lightsaber blow for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingNacho Posted June 23, 2002 Author Share Posted June 23, 2002 Lol. Yeah. More for looks than any kind of a guard... Well, I fixed it, it doesn't jut inside, but stays nice and flat now. And about it being too fat.... it's not too fat, but when I was resizing a few of the shots in photoshop i kind of blew it out of proportion, the finished model will hopefully look much better.

KingNacho Posted June 23, 2002 Author Share Posted June 23, 2002 Hey Lord FBF. Your tut has helped me out alot. But I'm having a hella hard time with the UV Unwrap and getting my skinmap done. Could you kind of walk me through that part of the tutorial where you do the skinmapping a little bit more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Ying Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 its called an "emitter shroud" guys, hahaha only 2 practical reasons i can think of is 1) allows your thumb to rest on it safely 2) blocks glare when the saber is held high anakin's sabers, and vaders both had similar shrouds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
