HardcoreTaco Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 Hey guys.. im new to modeling, and to your forums at that, but i managed to produce a pretty kick ass saber hilt with gmax (learned it all last night...) in my opinion its better than most of the ones iv'e seen so far (accept darth maul's.. thank you oh unnamed man) so check it out.. i post this though cause i need some help with skinning.. and importing it into the game.. hope ya like it, and if you can help me out, IM me (PuterB0X) Link 1 - http://hardwaretaco.netfirms.com/LightSaber1.JPG Link 2 - http://hardwaretaco.netfirms.com/LightSaber2.JPG Link 3 - http://hardwaretaco.netfirms.com/LightSaber3.JPG
-Chrono_MOT- Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 of course it's better in your opinion. you made it. want my opinion? 1.) don't be so arrogant 2.) skin it, then we'll see how good it is. right now it's nowhere near as good as some of the ones I've seen.
HardcoreTaco Posted July 13, 2002 Author Posted July 13, 2002 your a jerk.. i just said i need help with skinning it.. and whats so arrogant about my post? ... jerk!
-Chrono_MOT- Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 don't patronize me, I know exactly what you said.
Darth-Nasty Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 i like that lightsaber it looks good however it looks a bit short to be used with two hands
Adonai Saboath Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 something about saying you've made the best saber out there...2nd only to darth maul's and they're right about the size....that looks like its a bit small
HardcoreTaco Posted July 13, 2002 Author Posted July 13, 2002 wtf.. i didn't mean that.. i said i THOUGHT it looked better than most the other saber hilts IV'E seen.. you guys.. jesus, my opinion.. all the recreations iv'e for the game i thought sucked, adsept for the saber hilt that came with darth maul.. wanna know some better ones in MY OPINION.. Rusted saber and shaft saber, both.. realy cool.. (i guess how it looked kinda like that with the word all, i didnt mean that.. sry)
HardcoreTaco Posted July 13, 2002 Author Posted July 13, 2002 i just need help with it, thats the main reason i posted, alot of you do know what your doing, so for the few of you that arent pointing your finger, could i please get some p2p help
Adonai Saboath Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 oh, i thought my windu saber was nice....oh well that handle should maybe be longer, and a lil thinner whats the polycount at anyway? no offense but it looks a little plain to me....just my 2cents
Tap[RR] Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 How dare you degrade other quality models. Especially with this piece of crap you call a saber. I mean come on, your far too arrogant as chronos said. Youve just started last night for crying out loud and your already bragging. Shame, SHAME!!
HardcoreTaco Posted July 13, 2002 Author Posted July 13, 2002 wtf.. its my f*cking opinion.. could you guys read the posts thoroughly before you start bad mouthing me! here it is for you bastards.. I DIDN'T MEAN TO SOUND ARROGENT! ALL THE ONES IV'E SEEN I THOUGHT WERE CRAP now listen up..k.. ALL THE ONES IV'E SEEN!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVN'T SEEN MACE WINDU'S AND "SOME OF THE ONES" THAT CRONO HAVE SEEN!!!! ... give me a ****ing break for god sakes... you guys are a ****ing bunch of dicks i swear, bastards..
HardcoreTaco Posted July 13, 2002 Author Posted July 13, 2002 it was not in my intention to be arrogent at all, nor dis some other peoples models, but give me a break.. i tried to say sorry and change a few things, but no.. heh.. ill get help elsewhere
lok-on Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 ??? u guys r acting a bit crazy, the poor guy just wants his saber to be finished and he needs some help. No one should just attack him and clearly by his posts he didn't mean what he said. Anyway i think the saber looks pretty kool, with it's original design but i can't skin if my life depended on it.
icepool Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 I Think chrono mot got affended cause hes been making alot of sabers lately and this guy comes and says he hasn't seen anygood lightsabers besides darthmauls so I think chrono took it too personaly but understandedly. Second maybe he hasnt seen your saberhilts. Who knows mayber if you guys would calm down and work together on a project you guys could create something realy good for the game since one of you is realy good already and the newbie obviously can model decently just think about it instead of fighting.
iifuzz Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 sorry bud, that that looks liek way more then 1000 polygons, try lowering the segments on the cylinders
ezeckel Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 dont listen to stinky arabs only advice i give ya bro.....
HardcoreTaco Posted July 13, 2002 Author Posted July 13, 2002 thanks, i guess that ones going in the garbage, im working on a second one.. lower polly count, that was my second work up their, other than a gay ass mace.. i think you guys will like the new one, what ever.. i am new to the forums, not like i checked out all the post about saber hilts, i didn't even know there were so many, only ones iv'e seen were at jediknight2files.com.. sorry agian.. mine doesnt kick so mutch ass anymore..
Madjai Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 yea im guessing your saber has around 10000 polys... heres a few tips to keep the polycount down while making a saber. when you make a cylinder dont give it the default 18 sides, its too much detail to notice, make it max about 10. also set the segments to 1, this way the cylinder isnt cut into more parts. and to keep things simple practice with extruding the end of a cylinder and shape the extruded part to make it bigger or smaller , depending on what you need, instead of just making another cylinder and attaching it to the old one.
Darth Kaan Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 HardcoreTaco, I like it. The rapier style handle (what it looks like to me) is something I have been hoping for in a saber hilt. If you could make a two handed version, it would really rock! Thanks for sharing what you have created with the community, Kaan
HardcoreTaco Posted July 13, 2002 Author Posted July 13, 2002 shout out to the good guys! heres what i was working on i was thinking it would be cool to make a mod with this, like the double saber thing but where you can put them together.

jediemceeih Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 w00t! its pretty cool! Different, but original I like them, keep up the good work
sithlord-II Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 this forum is turning to complete garbage, i swear. its people like this that make people like me not post anymore. sithlord-ii
Darth-Nasty Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 that doublesaber is really great! something a bit original is always good:)
Yoda_623 Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 It looks great to me. Very good considering your new at modeling.

Still tho....i have been seeing some awesome hjilts...The Apex Saber,Alaris's Saber,Vaders Saber,Windu's Saber,Plo koons was pretty good.....not to mention chrono man is working on a Bong Saber...oh yah...SNOOTCHIE NOOTCHIES!
