BradFu Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 Great skin, hope you guys are able to adjust the model so it can be perfect About Luke using Force Grip - In the Jedi Knight games, true it's a dark side power, but in reality (or reality as far as the Star Wars Universe goes), there is no such thing as a Dark Side power. Force Lightning, for example, has always been associated with the Dark Side, but it's used by good Jedi. In the game Jedi Starfighter, Force Lightning is one of your weapons when flying the Jedi Starfighter. This is something that is being developed in the latest Expanded Universe books, in the New Jedi Order series. To get a LOT of insight into the Force that will change your thinking of it, read the latest book, Traitor. The basics of it is there is no Dark Side of the Force, just The Force. What makes it the Dark Side is what it's used for. If you blast someone with Force Lightning to defend yourself, theres nothing really wrong with that. If you rain Force Lightning down on someone who is writhing on the floor, clearly already subdued, definitely evil. If you look at it this way, if Luke had whipped out his lightsaber and cut the guards down, would anyone have thought twice about it? They were surely going to attack him, so it would have been self defense. Instead he uses Force Grip and cuts off their air supply, but only temporarily. In that situation, he really took the least evil approach possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonces Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 I have the Luke model in max now, I'm going to redo some of it, it's a very nice model, but not quite how I'd do Luke. I'm gonna use the head because it's a very good likeness, but I'm going to re-build/adjust the parts that "bug" me I'll have to move this into the modeling forum soon, before I get too off topic Toonces http://www.drivingcatstudios.com Powered by Sith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanboy_Solo Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Originally posted by Deetox187 hehe yeah but its pretty imformative, i was just reading Mark Hammil's bio and found out something i didn't know Though unfortunately after Star Wars: A New Hope, Mark landed in a car accident that altered his facial features and thus was the reason why the Wampa scenes in ESB were added. Thats a trip, if he didn't get in that car accident there would never have been a Wampa! i just can't imagine what ESB would've been like without that classic scene in the Wampa cave where Luke pulls the lightsaber to save himself. Actually, according to an interview with Mark Hamill himself in one of the latest Star Wars insider magazine denies that. That scene was always in the movie and George Lucas had always had it in there. However, most unauthorized biographies of Mark Hamill still hold that belief that the scene was made because of Mark's accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiThLoRd><1000 Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 That scene was always there, but Luke was not going to get hit in the face is what I read. They used that excuse as why Luke face looked different (The scars he will carry for the rest of his life because the bacta was not able to heal the dead tissue). Also, you never knew that he was in a wreck? I believe it was during "Corvette Summer" is what he was filming when he got hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12thMonkey Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 I never look at the skinning forum hardly, let alone post in it but when i heard Arco and Toonces were working on re-modeling Luke had to say good look. Hopefully more will follow in re-modeling the jk2 models if this is a success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonces Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 heh, I didnt forget about this guys, one of the many models I have in progress. I just have to re-map the head, he'll have a number of removeable surfaces, and a cloak and coat like the one he wears in the Dark Empire series. All will be able to be turned on and off with a .surf file Toonces http://www.drivingcatstudios.com Powered by Sith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonces Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 Sorry about dropping the ball on this, he hasnt been too high on my priority list. He's basically ready to go, he just has to be rigged now. As soon as I get Kit out the door I'll finish him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
