BradFu Posted July 15, 2002 Author Posted July 15, 2002 Update! Body nearly completed, just need hands and feet Without Outer Robe http://windu.cjb.net/bothanbody1.jpg With Outer Robe http://windu.cjb.net/bothanbody2.jpg I'm very happy with how it looks fully robed, I think that's the way I'll be finalizing it As soon as I finish the feet and hands, it'll be ready for unwrapping, which I'll definitely need help on.
Kinja Posted July 15, 2002 Posted July 15, 2002 Hey Brad Fu, your Bothan looks awsome. It seems to me you are a natural if you really just started. My advice to you is to stick with this.
VampireHunterD Posted July 15, 2002 Posted July 15, 2002 I agree with Kinja. This is excellent work well done Bradfu. Stick with it. Keep up the good work.
Sebulba-Dug Posted July 15, 2002 Posted July 15, 2002 Thats a really cool model, any other future plans?
bliv Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 There is a picture of Borsk on the cover of Zahn's Spectre of The Past novel. But he looks rather strange for a Bothan, as he is wearing a vest like thing and more human-style clothes. But he was Chief of State so I reckon he'd probably wear the elegant style gown like your model shows.
Nemesis731 Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 Bothans are one of my favorite races. I can't wait. A jedi Bothan oh how sweet it is.
icepool Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 Bradfu great job. I remember seeing you model of a alien head a while back and this definately blows it away. Youve definately giveing me motivation to stick with my degree im going for in animation and multimedia. I'm still in the early stages, havnt got my hands on the computer end yet, and seeing what some of these modelers were going through I've been questioning myself quite a bit about it and to see what youve be able to do with a little study over a couple weeks has given me inspiration. By the way anyone know of any free trial versions or certain other programs out there to use?
Ozma Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 Impressive, most impressive....... Very nice bradfu. Keep up the good work:)
BradFu Posted July 16, 2002 Author Posted July 16, 2002 Modelling = 100% http://windu.cjb.net/bothanbody3.jpg http://windu.cjb.net/bothanbody4.jpg Final polycount is 3042 I'm going to start unwrapping the robes, I should be able to handle that, but I'll need some assistance on the head and hands, too complex for me. Any takers?
Kururin Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 Perfect; this model makes me want Star Wars Galaxies right now.
BradFu Posted July 16, 2002 Author Posted July 16, 2002 Skinning has begun: http://windu.cjb.net/bothanskin1.jpg Inner robe and 'belt' done. Outer robe is next up after I take a break
Nemesis731 Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 Sweet mother of jesus, its beatiful. Only problem I see is the robes hood needs to come out a little more, it needs to hang more, but other than that it looks great.
Ozma Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 Sweet mother of bob! It's so beautiful I could eat it, or kiss bradfu......or not:rolleyes:
Adonai Saboath Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 i dunno why but he seems a tad bit off proportion to me, can't put my finger on it, but he looks a bit weird........hurmmmm
BradFu Posted July 16, 2002 Author Posted July 16, 2002 Well, I played around very breifly with the outer robe, and I find I probably won't be able to map it very well, so I think I've reached the extent of what I can do with this model till it's mapped and weighted and all Nemesis: Is this better for the hood? http://windu.cjb.net/bothanbody5.jpg
Ozma Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 His shoulders are a bit too brod. and a little slimmer. I think that's what may have been off

BradFu Posted July 16, 2002 Author Posted July 16, 2002 I think it looks a little off because of the sleeves. They are VERY baggy, though thats the way I intended them to be Not gonna spam with a new thread for this, but I'm now looking for someone to finish the unwrapping on this fella. Anyone interested, please e-mail me at bradfu@msn.com
Adonai Saboath Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 heh, thats it, its his shoulders....far too broad.....his robe is baggy, not poofy. his shoulders, and maybe the side area of his torso/rib area....

pud1 Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 I plan on being a Zabrak Marksman bounty hunter! and also build weapons in my spare time
nomad Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 Way to go Bradfu!!!! That's some Great work you've done there! Nice, man! You've definitely given me hope. I've just started messing around with Gmax myself. Great to see another modeller come to life. I love the braids/ponytails! Hope you can get some help finishing him up. I would say that the hood is slightly too narrow. You could fix that with the skin, you could paint flat folds around the buldge you've created, but it would probably look nicer if you did it with the model. Really nice looking model! -nomad MTFBWY
Harukaze Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 Guys, come on, don't spam Brad's thread with talk of Galaxies. Go to the Swamp or whatever the social board is. As for skins for the model, is anyone lined up yet, and what characters if any are being planned? BradFu, do you have anything in mind for your Jedi? I always love hearing about the serious characters and their stories.
Nemesis731 Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 Its somewhat better but it doesn't look like if he wanted to put it on he could. Look at Mister Punch's Plo Koon robe http://www.geocities.com/plokoonimages/shot6.txt it looks like Plo Koon could put it on if he wanted. I like the skin so far too. Great Job.
BradFu Posted July 17, 2002 Author Posted July 17, 2002 I'll increase the size on the hood some more, but not as big as Plo's, his hood is huuuge He could probably put Yoda on his head and still fit the hood over This Bothan is named Master Fa'row. I'll be skinning him with greying hair. he's older than the normal life-span of a Bothan male. If you want to read a little bit about him, you can check out the prologue to my Calaron Sector Watchmen story http://windu.cjb.net/calaron/stories/prologue.html I'll probably do an alternate younger skin of him, since I'm going to make him look young to start off anyway, then add age.
