Master Bodle Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Oh man, this model is gonna be awesome whens its finished!!! Keep up the good work i can't wait to play wth it in the game. About the tentacles i reckon he has 15. Which vary in length. Also, the tenticles are diffrent colours as u go down. They start off green with visible green spots then turn to a kinda orange colour and then seem to be grey right at the bottom. He also has bands on them whcih tie some together but each tenticle has at least one band on it. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonlancer Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 YYYYEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH TOONCES! been waiting for this since may 16. (the day ep2 came out) love what your doing with it. I just looked at my kit fisto action figure carefully, I counted exactly 16 tenticles. btw, don't forget that some of the tenticles are wrapped in leather straps. Yes I am aware that you just started looks awsome:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonces Posted August 9, 2002 Author Share Posted August 9, 2002 I finished up the mesh tonight, I still have to work on the head quite a bit, but everything is there now. The Head clocks in at almost 1600 polys, the entire mesh is a bloated 4400. I havent optimized yet at all though so I'll be able to get than number down quite a bit http://www.drivingcatstudios.com/fullfisto1.jpg http://www.drivingcatstudios.com/fullfisto2.jpg http://www.drivingcatstudios.com/pimpinfisto1.jpg http://www.drivingcatstudios.com/pimpinfisto2.jpg His Garb is a combination of Fisto's actual garb from Episode II, and Mace Windu's Still quite a bit of adjustments to make. UVmapping that head will be a nightmare, might have to seek out professional help to do it. funny_dude, I use Max 4.2, I love it Bodle, I really cant give you a eta on the model, I only started a few days ago and I'm not sure how long it will take to map, skin, ect. I'll keep you guys up to date though of cource Toonces http://www.drivingcatstudios.com Powered by Sith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomad Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 WOW Toonces!! That came a long way since we talked last night! Damn, That is a lot of tentacles. That must have been fun. All right, looks like your close to the point where we all start yelling out things like, "Smaller Chin!" "Wider eyes" "Slope his brow a little more" "No, flatten his forehead!" "Make the tentacles thicker and make them more individual" "Is he going to have an invisible poll?" And you, as the modeller, start doing this running around like a headless chicken, tap-dance routine- attempting to absorb all the information and continue to make an outstanding product. I'm glad you enjoy this routine, because you seem to be damn good at it I'll study some pics of Kit Fisto so that I can give you some detailed help anyway I can. Excellent job so far, Sir! -nomad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonces Posted August 9, 2002 Author Share Posted August 9, 2002 heh, thanks nomad I got inspired early this morning and decided to tackle the head. Yeah, I'm just about at that phase you speak of the head isn't right yet, and the side of his head still looks really odd, but that's what I have noticed so far, I always miss a bunch of things though The Garb was loosely based off Mace Windu's, I just like how his looks. I did make the outer tunic a little shorter, like Fisto's from the movie, and added his funky little collar. I'll stick a robe on him when I'm finished with this version of the model, but it will be a while until I get to that step. I'm also going to use the body as a starting point for another model, I'm not ready to announce what it is yet though (nomad knows though ) Toonces http://www.drivingcatstudios.com Powered by Sith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keo718 Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Lookin good Toonces. Concerning the legs though, his pants could be a bit more baggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enjoi9187 Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 I KNOW HOW HE DOES IT SOOO FAST!!! if you look at his website http://www.drivingcatstudios.com/ you will CLEARLY see in the upper right hand corner that he has had his liscence suspended, so all he can do know is stay home and make models!

inbredyokel Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Wow...that's quite insane how he went from head to finished in exactly 45 seconds. Who knew Palpatine would give you such stamina? The head looks pretty much perfect, I can see you put a lot of detail into. My only beef is with the shape of the body(he looks a little "portly"). If you'd bring the belt up a tiny bit and make his waistline a little smaller it would fix the problem right there. Otherwise, his sleeves look a bit poofy but I'm sure it will look totally different in-game with weighting. Geez...you're making me feel like a jerk offering this criticism because it looks so insanely good already Good luck, and I hope you don't pull all your hair out UV mapping him (when you say professional help I'm assuming you mean someone in psychiatry).

Pusskyfly Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 BUT Toonces heres a hard one, whats his taunt gonna be lol...lookas ace so far keep it up. Will he be grinning? or with his mouth shut...i vote for his cheesy but quality grin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevlar Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Toonces, Just a little feedback. Your model looks great! The only thing I feel needs adjusted are his hands. They look too small. Fisto's hands are much bigger in comparison to some of the photos posted. Keep up the good work! It's appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forums_End Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Toonces my Friend, that model kicks ass!!!!!!!! Its ****ing amazing!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDevil Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Model is looking great bud... great job!! A little suggestion I have though has to do with the tenticles coming from his head. From the reference pictures, there should be fewer of them but each one being thicker and wider. The way it looks now with the many thin tenticles looks a little odd.

Toonces Posted August 9, 2002 Author Share Posted August 9, 2002 Thanks for the great feedback guys I was able to trim about 500 faces off this morning. I've adjusted the head a bit as well, I think I have a better resemblence now. I'm still working on thoes Tenticles keo718, I thought they looked a little thin in the legs too, I made them a little baggier last night inbred, I'll try bringing the belt up and in a bit. The screenshots may have made him look a little thicker than he actually is, but I should bring the belt in and bag up the area where the belt meets the tunic Kevlar, the hands do look a little small. They are the Raven SDK ones. I was planning on modeling some custom ones One question for you Kit Fisto experts. His tenticles are actually wrapped together? I thought thoes were either tatooed on, or a natural part of his body? Toonces http://www.drivingcatstudios.com Powered by Sith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Wookiee Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Some of his tenticles are wrapped in groups of two with little red bands or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOUman Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 pretty great work! it would be cool if you could add another taunt animation which makes him smile like in the movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARTHMCGILL Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 will Kit's tentacles bounce, or are they basically cemented to his back/shoulders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enjoi9187 Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 he didnt smile in the movie, are you tlaking aobu that pic? that was a behind the scenes pic of the actor in costume talking to samual l jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pusskyfly Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 actually he does.....when he orce pushes over C3PO/Battle Droid he grins afterwards and then carries on fighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonces Posted August 9, 2002 Author Share Posted August 9, 2002 I'm going to try some weighting tricks to get the tenticles to move around. If Raven ever helps us with the animations, or somebody cracks their code I'll re-release our rasta friend with tenticle animations if it's at all possible Enjoi, He did smile durring the movie, when he knocked C3PO's head off he smiles and kinda laughed. I'll definatly make him grin or something Toonces http://www.drivingcatstudios.com Powered by Sith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
