Phi-Ren Le'myr Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 I've pretty much finished the model, but Im having trouble doing the UV mapping so I can skin it. I was following -=[FBF]=- 's tutorial but when i got to the Skinmapping part, it didn't work right. So if anyone has a link to a GMax tutorial on UV mapping, that would be great! Heres my model: http://bluesyntax.sidez.net/dookuhilt.jpg Image I was going by: http://cargobay.starwars.com/misc/props/mr_dooku_saber.jpg Im gonna import the model into the game without a skin to see what it looks like. Once I get the Editing tools, I'll do that and post a pic of it in-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi-Ren Le'myr Posted July 15, 2002 Author Share Posted July 15, 2002 any comments or suggestions??? I've imported the model in-game but I'm fixing the look of it, how the character holds it and how the light comes from it... ill post a pic soon, though I still need someones help with the Skinmapping (UVmapping) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kururin Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Why are you making it when someone has already made it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi-Ren Le'myr Posted July 15, 2002 Author Share Posted July 15, 2002 Because I don't like the one that was made! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kururin Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Yours looks just like the other one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi-Ren Le'myr Posted July 15, 2002 Author Share Posted July 15, 2002 well, heres a picture of the saber in-game.... http://bluesyntax.sidez.net/dookuhilt1.jpg In trying to make it look right, I've found that you're either gonna have "A good fitting handle" or "A straight light blade"... you can't have both. That's the reason why none of the blades in the game are curved. I've tried to make it so the blade leaned forward so it matches the handle but I can't do it to make it look right.. it only rotates to the right or left not forward like i wanted it to be. So I don't know if I'm going to go any further with it cuz its just not gonna look right. what do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Chrono_MOT- Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 ...download my count dooku hilt and see how I made it work. You have to angle the model itself, because the blade is not going to go any other direction. The blade can't curve, so don't try and make it curve.

Phi-Ren Le'myr Posted July 15, 2002 Author Share Posted July 15, 2002 let me correct what I said, when i said blades I meant.... thats why the saber hilts aren't curved since the blade can't be moved, the saber hilt has to be straight vertical or it won't be aligned with the blade. Cuz my model is curved, trying to fit it with the blade is difficult and if I do, then the hilt won't fit the hands good (like in that pic i posted of my saber in-game) I did shrink the model so its not as noticable but then whats the point cuz its too small to see any detail. I don't care, I'm not gonna work on this anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Chrono_MOT- Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 *sigh* you didn't download my hilt and look did you? It's perfectly curved, zero clipping, and still manages to have the blade line up fine. Your problem is you don't know what I'm talking about when I say angle the hilt. That's why the first curved hilt ever released for this game sucked. I'm telling you, if you download mine, you will see what I mean. Giving up before you've even taken other modeler's advice... "hmm...no future for you do I see." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi-Ren Le'myr Posted July 15, 2002 Author Share Posted July 15, 2002 I already have your Hilt, thats the one I was talking about when I said I didn't like it. Your hilt is so small you can't see any detail, and I can't even tell that its Dooku's hilt. I've already tried angling my hilt, but all that does is make it fit the hands good but then its not aligned with the blade.... it looks weird. ADDED: Also, because its so small I couln't even tell whether it was curved, it just looks like a straight saber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Chrono_MOT- Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 did you download the one from jk2files.com or the one from jediknightii.net? the one from jk2files.com is small, because that was the first release. get the one from jediknightii.net.

Phi-Ren Le'myr Posted July 15, 2002 Author Share Posted July 15, 2002 Well, i dled it... it looks better than your old one but I just don't like the way that looks... If that's the way it has to look then I'm not gonna bother with it, I'll just stick with using the Luke saber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
