BradFu Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Bored at work today, threw this together: http://windu.cjb.net/bothan1.jpg http://windu.cjb.net/bothan2.jpg http://windu.cjb.net/bothan3.jpg This is inspired by http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/media/screenshots/male_poses.jsp (to the far right) This Bothan jedi will be in robes. Not sure whether he'll be hooded or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VampireHunterD Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 This is an excellent idea Bradfu. Keep up the good work. Hey by the way Bradfu, is this Bothan Jedi going to be on our (you know what)? *hushes up so no one will find out about their secret project* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyphox Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 That's pretty good. You should make the body fuzzy like the Chewie model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradFu Posted July 14, 2002 Author Share Posted July 14, 2002 Update Refined the head, added hair, which makes it look way different. The idea for this hair is that I will be using alphas like Major Clod did for his Wookiee. I'm far from knowing how to do that, but I'll figure it out (hopefully with a little help http://windu.cjb.net/bothan3.jpg http://windu.cjb.net/bothan4.jpg http://windu.cjb.net/bothan5.jpg VHD: This one probably won't be part of that particular project, I want to take this one in a slightly different direction than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireHunterD Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Good work on the update of this model man. And by the way, my part of our project is proceeding as we planned. This project will be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bliv Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Any chance of a Borssk skin coming out of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradFu Posted July 14, 2002 Author Share Posted July 14, 2002 Kinja: I'm not! Seriously, I've just been toying with modelling for a couple weeks. I'm picking it up fairly quickly, though. For this fellow to get in-game, I'm going to need help since I don't know the more complex aspects of JKII modelling, but I think I've got that covered for now. bliv: Possibly. I don't know that I've ever seen a pic of Borrsk, what kind of clothes do we think he might wear? The focus for this Jedi Master will be a fully robed look. I'm still undecided whether he'll have an actual body under the robes or not. If I decide to go with a regular body with robes over it, then theres all kinds of possibilities. If any other modeller wants to build off the basic head for other Bothans, they're welcome to get in touch with me at bradfu@msn.com. I intend to make an attempt at the body (robed or otherwise) on my own, but I may not be skilled enough to pull that off properly, so I'm open to offers of collaberation from anyone with more modelling skill than me I may draw on VHD for a lot of assistance, though I have some other stuff going with him that may keep his attention away from this guy for a while. I find that I really enjoy modelling heads more than bodies, so if there's someone who is the opposite, then feel free to e-mail me and we can chat I really like how this fellow is turning out so far, so I think I'll keep working hard on him until he's done Hopefully I'll have his head completed to my satisfaction tomorrow, and get started on the body. I'll post some updates soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12thMonkey Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 great work Bradfu. already it's shaping up nicely especially as i have not seen any models from u before. A point i would also like to make is that the Bothan, from pics i have seen are quite small so please take this into consideration to get it looking even better. keep up da good work.

Harukaze Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 I think Bothans generally run on similar heights to humans. Some tall, some short, whatever. Borsk himself I thought was supposed to be somewhat moderate-to-short, and he was drawn in some comics to be slightly taller than Leia. Other Bothans I've seen are quite a bit taller than that though. The plus is, for those who want to be able to kill Fey'lya, that he looks very similar to the model BradFu is designing. And personally, I can't wait to see a Bothan Jedi; my friend and I were just discussing different races we're missing, and Bothans came up. It's really great that you're correcting this.

BradFu Posted July 15, 2002 Author Share Posted July 15, 2002 Update: I decided to go a different direction with the beard, though I may still use some alpha stuff. I think I'm done with the head now http://windu.cjb.net/bothan6.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheshireKat Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Looking Good! What's the polycount on that head so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradFu Posted July 15, 2002 Author Share Posted July 15, 2002 Pretty high, unfortunately. It's around 1400 right now. I've been trying to optomize without loosing much quality, and having limited success. Often when I do Optimize, it triples the polys in the object for some reason I've been doing a lot of by-hand optimization, ie welding extraneous vertexes, and I'll keep that up as much as possible, but I don't know if I'm going to be able to get it much slimmer. This might be counterbalanced enough by the use of a full-robed body rather than legs and all. Anybody who's done robes (Toonces maybe?), can you tell me what the robes, feet, and hands take up?
