Major Clod Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 [EDIT] Hey all, just letting you know that my Tusken Raider is finally available for download. Jediknightii.net It should be up at JK2files.com soon too. Enjoy! [/EDIT] I've started working on a Tusken Raider player model. There are some shots of it below. I will most likely include a Gaderffi Stick replacement for the lightsaber with the model. Skinned front view Skinned back view Faceted front view Faceted back view The model itself is virtually finished. All that remains now is a few skin touch ups, and to assign it to the skeleton. I have already done a few quick weighting tests before I mapped the mesh so that I know it will deform properly. This is always a good thing to do when creating models. As always, let me know what you think.
Emon Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 That is the ugliest peice of crap I have ever seen in my entire life. [/Jealousy]
Emon Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 By the way, are you going to add LODs this time? You don't have to remodel the whole thing, 3DSM has an opimizer which reduces it's polys. Do a search in the help for optimizer.
Major Clod Posted July 12, 2002 Author Posted July 12, 2002 I will try to get LOD's in this time. Multi-res is the best tool for the job, it is far better than the optimise tool. The reason I did not include LOD's in my previous models is because so many of the vertices were hand weighted. I did not have the time nor do I particularly fell like weighting the mesh 3 times over. However the Tusken Raiders baggy clothing supports the envelopes in the Skin tool much better than my previous models, so it is simply a matter of saving the envelopes and reloading them for each LOD. I try to go back to Jar Jar sometime soon and add LOD's, its just it isn't the most interesting of tasks.
EffJi Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 JESUS STEPDANCING CHRIST!!!!! That's the best model ever!! Don't forget the caps though (incase you haven't done them allready).
Xyphox Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 Sweetness! This model looks awesome! Keep up the good work.
Delmar Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 It is decided, then. My firstborn child's name chall be Clod. You, sir, own me.
adillon Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 major clod strikes again! yet another *BLEEP* incredible model. great work! are you planning on keeping him as a generic tusken raider? what about the jedi "something-or-other hett" who lived on tatooine with the tusken raiders and dressed like them? i guess that if he dressed like they did, anybody can say it IS him. whatever ... i'm babbling ... don't mind me ... the model is so amazing i can't think straight.

I sure hope its kit fisto or an ewok (im keeping an eye on that avatar) Major Clod you rule! how on earth do you churn these models out so fast ?!?!
Hanch Saode Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 Hmmm......"there's no END to the possibilities" I guess I must say, you have really impressed me with your modelling skills.... Keep it going
defalc Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 Clod, you freaking RULE! :D:D You are a damn awesome modeler! That tusken looks awesome! For sounds, the taunt has GOT to be that 'Raawg!' Yelling warcry they make! The rest might be tricky though. As for the CTF skins, what are they gonna look like?

Maybe he doesn't live on earth, maybe he lives on a planet that's rotation is faster then earths so days seem like hours to him.
defalc Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 Wow! He lives in Australia? Woo! Aussie Aussie Aussie! I'm guessing...Perth?
nucular_jedi_14 Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 tptally awsome btw jar jar was awsome can't wait for the rest of ur models!
Quackster Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 Incredible model Clod. I am stupefied. Also am shocked with the Jar Jar model. Can't wait to see what holds for the future. Quote The Force is strong in this one...
CheshireKat Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 Beautiful model! Love the flow, cant wait to see how it turns out!
studman0201 Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 Clod is it alright if I use your tusken raider in an npc mod pack I am making.
IPHDTD Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 wow, skin looks really amazing. maybe youll answer me, how do u get such a close up pic of the model's face for the icons/avatars?
nomad Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 Hurray!! Another major Clod Model, A Classic, Needed Character Model, And best of all... An amazing peice of work!! Thank you so much, Major. A possibly good source for tusken raider sounds could be from the The Masters Of Tera Kesai playstation game. Just in case you need some pain sounds that you cannot find. Just give a shout if you need any help in that area, but knowing the work you've done in the past, you're probably fine on your own. -nomad MTFBWY
els.DarkLord Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 Just wanted to add to all the praises GREAT work. It's really appreciated what you do for this community I'd say i love your work... your jar jar was so real, his sounds are so.... annoying *g*
(IK) Lucifer Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 CRAP! I just started one 2 days ago! It will be done soon, skins and all, the only saving grace is that mine is tailored specifically for Sharad and A'Sharad Hett. Kick ass though! Thanks for yet another new model! How do you do that so fast anyway? I bet you have some top secret ultra time saving techniques. lol Or a time machine.
