cROsIs** Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 OUCH................................. SORRY, HAD TO BIG MY JAW UP OFF OF THE FLOOR!!! GREAT STUFF MAN... KEEP US POSTED
Psyk0Sith Posted July 26, 2002 Author Posted July 26, 2002 I think the hat is a good idea, i'll see what i can do. good job grafox!
adillon Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 glad you liked the suggestion. gotta question ... if you do decide to model the hat, would you consider going the extra mile and making a version that resembles this younger ki-adi-mundi? by this i mean a version that not only does has the hat, but also wears a scarf and that fabric-thing hanging from the rear of the hat, as well as a longer (maybe braided?) goatee? i don't know if it's worth the effort because it's not the version that people are used to, but it adds to the variety. whatever you decide, i'm really psyched about this model. you guys are doing an incredible job modeling and skinning him, and i thank you for your efforts. keep up the great work! KI-ADI ROCKS!
Gram_Reaper Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 Yeah awesome job modeling, but i want to say something about the skinning. the torso skin right now looks like it has no definition. I like the face though. Good job guys
morphius_doh Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 There are only a few suggestions and questions that I have. In the latest WIP pic the skinning below the hood is somewhat flat, especially on the belt. The only other suggestion I have is to make the moustache flush with the face and add more texture to the beard so it doesn't look so thick. Did you create a seperate layer for the cloth under the dark brown tunic? The only reason I ask is because the tan cloth doesn't have the appearance of depth.

I agree about the detialing, working on that

Grafox Posted July 28, 2002 Posted July 28, 2002 Another update: Almost finished with the base skin. Now I just have to make him look older and adjust the hair somewhat. http://home.quicknet.nl/qn/prive/j.hagmeijer/kiadi4.jpg C&C welcome.
lonepadawan Posted July 28, 2002 Posted July 28, 2002 Very nice- is the red line supposed to be there?

morphius_doh Posted July 28, 2002 Posted July 28, 2002 Are you going to work on the different layers of clothing coz they still don't have any depth to them so to give the effect of layers? I have noticed this in the cuffs of the tan shirt as well. Will you be adding the strands of hair at the top of his head as well? One more suggestion: Take the roundness out of the gote' so that it doesn't look so thick.

The yellow/brown undershirt and the brown "jacket" Correct me if I am wrong though. And I agree on you about the beard thing. But I can's change that, I am just the skinner, not the modeler
Psyk0Sith Posted July 28, 2002 Author Posted July 28, 2002 wow! damn grafox you got mad skillz! I've been quite busy lately so the weighting is far from being done, but i'll work on that this week. Once i get the skins i'll check how the head looks in the game, cuz when i modeled, there was no lights in max, and that was a big mistake. I did some tests with the head on another body and things looked pretty weird when far away...close ups looked ok but not as good as the max renders. (Grafox read your mail...)
iifuzz Posted July 29, 2002 Posted July 29, 2002 i just finished making Ki Adi Mundi's light saber ill submit it probably tomarrow
Kinja Posted July 29, 2002 Posted July 29, 2002 Hey fellas, I just wanted to say the models lookin great, and were getting closer and closer to having the whole Jedi Council, Yipeee! BTW: Ki Adi does look like a bad@$$ with the hat, hehe!
Grafox Posted July 30, 2002 Posted July 30, 2002 Update! http://home.quicknet.nl/qn/prive/j.hagmeijer/kiadi5.jpg
inbredyokel Posted July 30, 2002 Posted July 30, 2002 The edges of the lips look a tad sharp and square, a little bit of blending would probably fix that though. Other than that, nice work.
morphius_doh Posted July 30, 2002 Posted July 30, 2002 It's starting to look better, though the mustache could stand to be shorter in legnth and angled in a way that it meets the beard. If you look at the pics in the Databank, on the official site, you'll see that the beard widens as it goes up the jaw line and doesn't just cover the chin area. Call me anal but I'm just offering advice to make the model the best it can be.
keo718 Posted July 30, 2002 Posted July 30, 2002 Nice skin, but referring to pics at the starwars databank, his mustache covers more of his upper lip.

Volkie Posted July 31, 2002 Posted July 31, 2002 Wow, I would say that is bang on, exellent work. Thanks for the update. I love the facial details.
morphius_doh Posted July 31, 2002 Posted July 31, 2002 Not to be rude, but where are the changes or additons? The face still has the same look as the previous update and so does the body and clothiing.
