TrevHimself Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 awesome model bradfu! i was wondering if you were planning on letting others skin it? i would like to...but its your model. if you do though, will the parts of the beard be surfaces so there will be more variation?

adillon Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 i really dig the prologue, BradFu!! i feel that original characters are probably the best thing that could happen to JKII, and having a story that helps them fit into the star wars universe makes these characters just that much better. good job.

BradFu Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 Trev: since his hair, beard, and clothes are fairly specialized to his character, I likely won't have too many things changeable on him. I'll see if I can setup the beard to be removeable, as well as the hood and 'belt'. The hair tails and their ties should be removeable too, so there should be a decent amount of customization possible. I plan on doing at least one additional story outside my main Calaron story, which will highlight Master Fa'row, though I haven't decided whether he'll be a Master yet, and whether he'll have an apprentice. I'm starting to really like the character, and the events in the Prologue just beg to expand on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bliv Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Skin Ideas Borsk: Cream coloured fur, posh robes. Bothan Spy: Darker robe, brown fur. Sith Bothan: Sithy look.... I reckon that the Aalya Secura model was more of a success because of the large skin pack that was released with it. It would be nice to see the Bothan do the same.

Harukaze Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Thing is, Bothans have more variety to their looks than Twi'leks do, from a modelling perspective. Part of the problem is hair. Tattoos and other similar features can be skinned on, but hair of this sort has to be modelled on, and not all Bothans have the same hairstyle.

BradFu Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 Exactly. So theres room for some amount of customization with my model, but one way or the other, they'll all have the same hairstyle (on the top of the head, anyway), and the same robes. I mentioned earlier that I'm perfectly willing to let others use my base head (without hair or beard) for other models if they're interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eklin Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 You should only release 1 or 2 skins for it at the most. Let others do the rest and put them in as individual projects. This is because I hate it when you get 3/4 pointless skins that you'll likely never use, so they just take up space in your character selections (like what happened with the Mandalorian and that Twi'lek chick models).

Harukaze Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 True. Although many of the female Twi'lek skins came in a separate pack. I suppose they should get split up into separate files, like Yin is [granted, she was designed later on]. So I think I will agree, and recommend that the model itself only come with Master Fa'row and nothing else. Btw, BradFu, I'm going to PM you with my email address, so that if you're willing, you can send me the skinmap. I don't have anything specific in mind yet, but it's always good to be able to jump on a project when inspiration hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adonai Saboath Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 you COULD always just open up the pk3, remove what you don't want and then repack it.....least thats what i would do.... and sorry to get a bit o/t....but i REALLY think someone should modify the bot selection, and skin/player selection.....something that'll display the bot/skin's icon, maybe around 12 at a time or so........especially with bots.....it really sux having to scroll through everything......and skins....it'll get to the point soon where we'll also get tired of scrolling through them too....

BradFu Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 Well, if they edit the pk3, then it becomes incompatible with the rest of the pk3s for the model. What I plan on doing is 3 skins. Standard, plus CTFs. The CTF skins will be full-fledged skins, rather than just recolored. Blue will be the young version of Fa'row, Red will be a Sith version.

Adonai Saboath Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 removing a few skins would make it incompatible?....i figured the person who used those skins would just be viewed as the model's default skin.... guess i'm still living in the simple days of Q3....

BradFu Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 Yeah, the game goes by filesize as well as name. Otherwise people could sneak stuff past pure servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradFu Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 UPDATE: Made an attempt at unwrapping the outer robes, turned out decently well, but it could definitely be better, I'm just not all that good at unwrapping. Here's the results: http://windu.cjb.net/bothanskin2.jpg http://windu.cjb.net/bothanskin3.jpg Once again, if anyone who is skilled in the ways of Unwrapping has any interest in helping out with this model, e-mail me at bradfu@msn.com, it would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradFu Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 Not sure what you mean, pud. Do you mean the nose doesn't look right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pud1 Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 No i mean when u skin it....dont forget the animal-like mouth! the upside down "T" shape between the lips and the nose that makes it look bothan. It's looking really good bradfu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradFu Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 Oh, gotcha I'm way ahead of you on that, decided to actually do that with the model, as well as with the skin. It's not easy to see, but in some of the past shots (the head shots specifically) you can just barely see the cleft between his nose and mouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradFu Posted July 20, 2002 Author Share Posted July 20, 2002 Current Status: Stuck Since theres been a lot of interest in this model, I wanted to let everyone know where it stands. Right now, he's waiting to be unwrapped. The problem with this is that I can't handle the unwrapping myself and make it any good, and don't have anyone to do it yet. Anyone who can do a good job of it and is interested, please e-mail me at bradfu@msn.com or send me a Private Message. I will be doing the skinning, but I can't continue with that till I get it all mapped out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
