Rekked Posted September 29, 2002 Author Posted September 29, 2002 Ok, I just attached the arm to the torso, and only the leg is left. Let's see if i can do it before tonight and then get someone to weight it or just weight it myself. There's some more screenies at the usual aleena WIP homepage: http://www.geocities.com/aleena_model
JediQuermian Posted September 29, 2002 Posted September 29, 2002 Sorry to be posting in this forum about this but I'm surprised there is not many podracers out there. I wish someone could make Ben Quadinaros or something - the clumsy pudgy-faced guy in Episode 1 that was unable to get his engine started or even any podracer. The model that your working on right now looks real cool btw and I hope it's coming along good.
inbredyokel Posted September 29, 2002 Posted September 29, 2002 I found a couple interesting pictures of aleena characters on the star wars rpg artists guild site... http://www.starwars-rpg.net/swag/view.php?photo_id=104&screen=0&action=&keyword=&date=&type=search http://www.starwars-rpg.net/swag/view.php?photo_id=164&screen=0&action=&keyword=&date=&type=search The jedi character looks very cool...perhaps you could base your sith/jedi aleena off of it? Anyway, looking very good. We need more alien and female models!
Rekked Posted September 29, 2002 Author Posted September 29, 2002 Ben Quadrinaros? Why not? It would look ackward, anyway, because his torso is actually his face... About the concept art.... the Jedi looks cool, but he really doesn't look like an aleena... the body is just too human. I like better the "Jack of all Trades" cooncept art, beacuse the body looks more dwarfish.. just like ratts tyerell in Ep1. About the Jedi/Sith robes... yeah, i guess i was too excited about doing that, but right now i guess it would take me like a lot of time, and i want them released as soon as I can. Maybe I should release 2 models, tha basic aleena and Ratts Tyerell (which was waht i was aiming for, basically). The jedi/sith will come after
Darth Loki Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 Ben Quadrinaros would be awesome. However, with all these models coming out, shouldn't someone make a mod that removes the icon limit in multiplayer?
Zion Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 Good Job on the Model thus far. Looks good, IMHO. Anyway, in regards to the Jedi Version of your model, I'd suggest checking out the comic "Jedi Council: Acts of War". In it there was a Aleena Jedi named Tsui Choi. I'll check the 'net to see if I can find any pics, but I thought I'd just fill you in, in the mean time. Update: I found a page with some pics. Not the best, but they're all I could find for now. http://jediencyclopedia.150m.com/tsuichoi.html
Rekked Posted October 1, 2002 Author Posted October 1, 2002 Hey, that concept art rocks! And way too much that Aleena Jedi! I'm going to check if i can get that comic in spain! I'll be basing my character, as i have previously stated, in Ratts Tyerell. The main differences from the actual model are: 1)The glasses 2)Things around the arm and shoulder 3) It has no feet After that, I'll be twitching the model so as to make an aleena jedi, probably the Jedi stated in that page (i can't remember his name right now). But that would be a different release. Thanks for the feedback!
Grets Sirob Posted October 1, 2002 Posted October 1, 2002 I'm not a modeller, but I believe there is a function called "surf" or whatever, maybe you could investigate this as it allows you to turn surfaces on and off. Maybe you could have your robe be a surf on/off thing?
Rekked Posted October 5, 2002 Author Posted October 5, 2002 Ok, i've been looking both screenshots from the film as well as comic strips, and i found that Aleena are portrayed with two different types of legs. To show this, i've uploaded two images that show what i mean. You can see this at: http://www.geocities.com/aleena_model/concept.htm or access it directly from: http://www.geocities.com/aleena_model/leg01.txt http://www.geocities.com/aleena_model/leg02.txt Although i like more the comic legs, these may not be a "canon" aleena, so please send in thoughts for what you think is better.
Padawan_7 Posted October 5, 2002 Posted October 5, 2002 Well I'm a big stickler for movie only content. But, keep in mind that the picture from the movie that you're referencing is of a child (Which means, he/she is probably not yet full developed).
Rekked Posted October 6, 2002 Author Posted October 6, 2002 yeah, padawan, that's true... but the she-aleena on the left has almost the same kind of legs... more thoughts? Oh, and by the way, i'm going to have to leave the model for this week, as I have to send the computer to be repaired. Hope i have it for thursday as latest. On the meanwhile, i'll be cheking the forums, so feel free to send all the feedback you want!
Zion Posted October 7, 2002 Posted October 7, 2002 Since you can't see the entirety of the mother's leg, it would probably be best to leave her out of it, but, essentially, all of their legs are similar. One of the points of difference between the Child and mother and Choi is that the lower part of the leg of the two have like shoes/leggings covering part of the leg, while the Jedi is completely bare. Also, I would assume that the Jedi's leg would be more lean/ muscular, showing more of the understructure, while the other two, being civilian, could have a layer of fat covering their legs, which could be another reason. Other than that, not really sure what to say. I do agree with the comment about lack of development on the child, though.
Rekked Posted October 9, 2002 Author Posted October 9, 2002 Due to popular demand, Ill be modelling the more muscular and weird-looking birdy leg. That's the one that I prefered, so let's see what my modelling skills are up to.
Padawan_7 Posted October 9, 2002 Posted October 9, 2002 That's cool Rekked. When do you think you'll get your computer back? Oh, yeah, and how is Spain this time of year?
Rekked Posted October 13, 2002 Author Posted October 13, 2002 I'm getting my computer tomorrow! (I hate these fujitsu guys, it took them a week to change a DVD and the power supply unit from my computer... while for the average computer user, it would have taken.. 10 minutes!)
Rekked Posted October 14, 2002 Author Posted October 14, 2002 At last i got my computer! I hope to be updating the page as soon as i can. Rekked
Rekked Posted December 25, 2002 Author Posted December 25, 2002 Just let you know that the leg is done and i will post some screenshots this afternoon, i hope
Wolfey Posted January 5, 2003 Posted January 5, 2003 Cuz it isnt! Great job Rekked, keep up the good work!
Lord Tnuc Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 Yes, great job. I do hope you complete this. I'd love to beta test it and whatnot, btw. I'm having high hopes for this model.....I really like the drawing of the concept, by the way...
Rekked Posted January 10, 2003 Author Posted January 10, 2003 New Screenies! The model is almost done, but i can't get the right approach to weld leg to torso... right now, i have "temporarily" attached it right away. Any thoughts?
Hellfire Jedi Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 ts gOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD once u get it done may i beta test this?
Rekked Posted January 10, 2003 Author Posted January 10, 2003 Yeah, leg is welded, now it's time for the tedious assimilation of the model. Things are moving slow, but i want to finish this model and then begin with a proyect i had long time ago... a digital me! (i don't exepect anyone to download it, though :D ) For all of you that you want to beta test it... there are already people in the list, i guess two more will not be a problem..
adillon Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 looking pretty sweet Rekked ... cannot wait to see what he looks like in the game! keep up the great work!
