12thMonkey Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 That is really looking so much like him. I can see a vast improvement, however the eye brows need to be more bushy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyphox Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Very nice the model is coming along very nicely! And what the heck!? You see my double posts up there? Well, I didn't post twice there must have be some glitch or something, cuz they're 15 mins apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Widow Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 Err....the one on the right is the new one? Am i the only one that thinks the one on the left looks a whole lot better? The only improvement on the right that i see is that the blaster holdster is textured.....the one on the left looks perfect to me besides that.. though the cloths needed more detailed. Doesn't look like Harrison Ford at all anymore.. Though when looking at it as a whole it does look more detailed but if you look at individual parts it doesn't look very nice at all.

In some ways you are right the face is absolutley dead on but his clothing looks to new and clean. i prefered the darker messy look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arco Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 i'm really sorry if this is rude or anything. but I have done a quick 5 minute paint over to help you out. http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/cottages/genq3/han07-edit.jpg Now altho everthing is tecnically in the right place and correct you are falling short in a few simple areas. Mainly the cloth. Your cloth is quite simply overdone. All I did was take the smudge tool to it and smudge it around to make the creases less over the top. also most of the creases were pointles, just put them where they would appear naturally and ignore other places... also on the trousers at the knee you would just see the cloth bunching up due to the boots. it isn't skin tight so don't texture the knee. And when doing the waistcoat thing just think a big circle for the creases and do it around the armpit. Basically smudge em all together make sure they are in the correct places and you are there. It will take you 10 minutes. I also did bit of shadowing around the holster to make it less stuck on and since it is just resting on top of his tousers it wouldn't really make any creases. Hope that helps. as for the face... that is just SPOT on. Oh yeah before i forget the boots... just add a highlight coming down the middle and smudge in the highlight at the top... it makes em look a little better. GREAT stuff you got goin' Arco:deathii: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Clod Posted September 11, 2002 Author Share Posted September 11, 2002 Cheers Arco, your inputs and paint overs do help a great deal. I've now done the ANH, ESB and ROTJ outfits, and he is ingame with facial animation. Now I need to focus on the sounds and a surprise version of the model that you will have to wait until the release to see Will post some screens soon.

Andy867 Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 First this and the Tusken Raider, what's next in your line of fine looking models?! This model ALSO looks simply amazing... Even the harrison ford grin is there! When you do finish the model you can send it to JKII.Net with an attention that says File Masters: Model that way we know its a model to be posted, and not just screenshots. so, just send them to files@jediknightii.net with that attention notice, and one of the file masters, or myself, will get it uploaded and posted.

sights0d Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 I was wondering if you are planning on making the meshes available. I was making a Gallandro skin and really didn't enjoy making it on the Lando or the Chiss model. The holster really needed to be a thigh-mounted holster. I'm hoping that it will look good on your model. Here's a pic of the skin: http://www.geocities.com/sights0d/Gallandro2.html BTW... I know this isn't a skinning post. Just hoping to get access to the meshes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Clod Posted September 11, 2002 Author Share Posted September 11, 2002 Yeah I will most likely release a skin development kit with the model. There will be a few different surfaces to represent different items of clothing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonces Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 Major Clod, I'd be really intrested to see your setup for how you rigged the face for animation. I've been rigging Emperor Palpatine for facial animation and It looks quite good, but I have a few problems (especially with the eyes and forehead) that just dont look quite right The model is looking great, every one of your models have blown me away, keep up the good work Toonces http://www.drivingcatstudios.com Powered by Sith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Clod Posted September 11, 2002 Author Share Posted September 11, 2002 Han is ingame, talking, and making strange faces. Here are a few screenshots. I do need to adjust the model to avoid the glowing under the eyes that the raven models get when the major light source is directly above them. Han talking Han staring at Luke Perhaps he's looking at an ewok?? Toonces: Okay, as far as I can tell the only bones used for facial animation are ceyebrow, leye, reye, jaw, and the lip bones ending in 2's. For weighting the forehead to ceyebrow, I weight the centre of the brow, in between the eyebrows, pretty much close to full weighting to ceyebrow. Then as you go along to the ends of each eyebrow, I gradually weight the vertices less to ceyebrow. So the strongest weighting is in the middle of the brow (1 - 0.8), and the weakest is at the ends of each eyebrow (around 0.3). For the eyes, they only seem to move when the character blinks, never any other time. I have a sphere for each eyeball with the center exactly where the pivot for the eye bones are, and I completely weight each sphere to its respective bone. I then weight the upper eyelid to this bone as well, leaving the bottom eyelid alone. For the mouth, I weight each portion to the respective bone, so the top right lip goes to rtlip etc... I then blend the weighting, so that the center of the lip is shared equally by the bone on each side, and I also share the corners of the mouth with the bones above and below that corner. Upper teeth are weighted to the cranium, lower teeth are weighted to the jaw, along with the jaw of the model. All vertices that are not weighted to any of these bones are all weighted to the cranium. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonces Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 Thanks Major I played around alot with it last night and I've gotten him to the point where it looks just about as good as ravens models do, it's pretty cool. I'm rather dissapointed though that most of the facial bones are useless, I tried every one last night and as you said, there are only a handful that carcass will run through. Oh well, looks good enough. Han's looking really good Toonces http://www.drivingcatstudios.com Powered by Sith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
