KingNacho Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 Hey guys. I'm in dire need of help with skinmapping my Yoda's Lightsaber Hilt. Every time I try to "unfold" my model and break apart the vertexes I end up maiming the skinmap. Could anyone point me in the right direction to some good, detailed tutorials that deal with just skinmapping or just help me out here. BTW, here's a pic of my model (it's been improved since this pic) http://www.geocities.com/darthnacho69/wipyodasaber.jpg (Drag the link into your address bar or copy and paste) BTW, it's my first model ever.

Madjai Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 saber skinning is very easy once you understand how it all works, player skinning is the real biatch. Will your Yoda saber be extra long to make it held properly by Kyle? I guess itd have to be, otherwise you wouldnt see it, eheh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingNacho Posted June 23, 2002 Author Share Posted June 23, 2002 Yeah, the model is Yoda's saber, but is scaled to fit Kyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthFallen_NYC Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 hey dude, for your first model it's very impressive. However, I believe that you should make it a bit more accurate. You have two great refence pics that can help you in doing that. Just give it like another hour or two to add some more details. Later on you can try to skin it. BTW, a great tutorial on UVW mapping is at http://www.wolfblade.com under "Learn". C ya and good luck The FallenAngel_NYC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingNacho Posted June 23, 2002 Author Share Posted June 23, 2002 I fixed the metal sheet ("Hilt Guard") protruding by the blade emitter to be like in the picture and I made the button round instead of tall and square like shown in my WIP pic.... Thanks for the help guys, Hopefully I'll be able to skinmap this sometime soon. Once I get the map done, actually texturing it won't be too hard, I'm pretty experienced with Photoshop.

DarthFallen_NYC Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 I like the way u did the lower part of the hilt. I probabaly gonna change the lower part of my yoda saber to the way u did it. Of course only if u agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
