Mix_Master2k Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 Hi all., u got me into the whole modeling thing so i decided to start one. I noticed there were no hilts of darth mauls (at least none that im aware of) Any way if youd like to take a look its at the following link cuz i know u love screenshots. this is a very basic start textures will come later..i hope...if i can figure it out. And i will problaly need help getting it skinned and into the game. http://www.geocities.com/mix_master2k/saber1.jpg -mix master
MeLoN Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 The best advice I can offer it to add details until you reach the 1000 vertex limit. That is pretty much my method of making a good looking saber hilt.
Andy867 Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 You wouldn't be the same Mix_Master that joins MAverick's **||GATEWAY WEST JediMod||** server, are you? I am just curious because its not very often you run into a guy you've seen on that server... The saber is looking good, just like MeLoN said, keep adding details.. this community LOVES details:) Andy867 JK2Net File Master http://www.jediknightii.net
Mix_Master2k Posted July 23, 2002 Author Posted July 23, 2002 yea i am the same mix master....I refreshed my list and i deleted his server off my favorites list and i cant seem to find mavericks server anywhere....if you could...can you put his IP up so i ca\n join again. I loved that server. Thanks for the advice
Hanch Saode Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 As far as I know, there is a great Maul Saber Hilt out there already...as a bonus in the Maul Model by Chesire... But feel free to make one yourself of course
Mix_Master2k Posted July 23, 2002 Author Posted July 23, 2002 cool..i didnt know there was one. Is it hosted here because i would love to get it. Here is an update on my saber. if link does not work try taking out the "http://" part. Also, is there a tutorial somewhere on how to actually get the model into the game? I downloaded all of Raven's editing tools (Radiant, md3..) and have no idea what to do now. http://www.geocities.com/mix_master2k/saber2.JPG -mix master
Mix_Master2k Posted July 24, 2002 Author Posted July 24, 2002 Here is the final model of the saber hilt. I don't know how to skin it. If someone wants to do it they can or can someone point me in hte direction of the nearest skinning tutorial? Thanks, (remove the "http://" part in your browser) http://www.geocities.com/mix_master2k/saberfin.jpg -Mix Master
Mandalorian iTi Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 its very good but u forgot 1 thing, one big thing, the "fins" by the emitter: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Stargate/9881/maulsabr.html and u know what i would like to see an half maul saber
Mix_Master2k Posted July 24, 2002 Author Posted July 24, 2002 Thanks for that detail, this is my first model so this is my test. It will be very easy for me to make a model of mauls half saber, but i need to skin it, and that i don not know how to do. I was wondering if there is a tutorial on it or if someone wants to do it. -Mix Master
Kururin Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 Why make Darth maul's hilt when there is at least two already made?
Hanch Saode Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 I dont see the big problem with having more than one of each kindda model...
Mix_Master2k Posted July 25, 2002 Author Posted July 25, 2002 i havent seen any, is there one here? Besides,, people have to have choice . And this is my test model. I have never modeled before and decided to use this as my first. I need help with skinning though. *EDIT* here is a detailed pic of it with the fins (remove the "http") http://www.geocities.com/mix_master2k/detail.jpg /edit -Mix Master
Kururin Posted July 25, 2002 Posted July 25, 2002 Mix to make the link work just rename the detail.jpg to detail.txt and then it will work
Mandalorian iTi Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 master2k just go in the skinng forum and ask for help, post a thread
MeLoN Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 Looks very good.... Now just give it that Aluminum look.
Exar Kun II Posted July 27, 2002 Posted July 27, 2002 Mix Master, the hult looks great. Just a suggestion, but many people have been asking for a Darth Maul 1/2 saber, the post Ob-Wan slice hilt he used in TPM. You may want to consider doing something like that, just to be different.
Mix_Master2k Posted July 28, 2002 Author Posted July 28, 2002 ok,,,if i ever get the skinning done, I can release it as a pack with Mauls full version and half version and the half verision would be charred around when obi-wan cut it. I dont think it will take too long for me to do the skin and pack it but sincei ts my first it will take some time. Thanks for all your support -Mix Master
Mix_Master2k Posted July 29, 2002 Author Posted July 29, 2002 I have as much to go as i did since i finished the model I can't find a good tutorial on UVW warp\unwrapping a high poly model so i can skin it. The only other thing i guess i could do is try to make anotherone that is low poly. Any tutorials besides the ones in the sticky that can help me? -Mix Master
Lord Infamous Posted July 29, 2002 Posted July 29, 2002 Mix Master, you should try to make your hilt compadible with Dest's new version of the Jedimod. (just a thought)
Mix_Master2k Posted July 30, 2002 Author Posted July 30, 2002 im not familiar with how it works except that u can have different saber hilts -Mix Master
Darth-Nasty Posted July 30, 2002 Posted July 30, 2002 if you just make it so that the texture isnt called saber.jpg then it can be put into jedimod
delquar Posted July 31, 2002 Posted July 31, 2002 to make it jedimod compatable, the saber shoudl be in models/weapons2/saber_maul/ though try maybe darthmaul for the one sided one too. otherwise its the same
