Toonces Posted October 8, 2002 Posted October 8, 2002 Yeah, that's a good idea you got there about the feet Darth, I didn't try anything like that for Palp, I should have though For the robe version it might be worth segmenting the inner skirt, to a front and back segment, and removing the back half from the robed version with a .surf file.
KevinCoyle Posted October 8, 2002 Author Posted October 8, 2002 It worked! Thanks Darth Vigrid, good idea. I'll see what I can do about the turtleneck. I also need to work on the robe textures more. That is one of the other aspects of the model I didn't like after getting him in game. In levels with bright lighting, his robes appear more like plastic than cloth, especially in the death star level. I'll work on the textures to make them appear more like cloth and darken them so they don't shine too much.
Samurai-X Posted October 9, 2002 Posted October 9, 2002 hey guys, i see ur testing the model ingame already!! looks cool so the model nears its completion.... *off topic* do any of u guys want to film famous duels from starwars, like luke-vader, ben-vader, anakin-dooku?? if so, email me
§ith Lord Posted October 9, 2002 Posted October 9, 2002 Kevin I have a suggestion, its about the lightness of his inner robes. you see the problem I have is how the color white looks ingame. the lighting of the level makes the color white look almost fluoresent, glowing, it was one of my main problems with great models like Padme by Tetsuo and the Clone trooper. Im sure you could fix this by adding alittle more color to the robes. just my two cents. great model.

Yes, §ith Lord brings out a very good point. You don't want the inner robes to glow in maps with alot of lighting (i.e. the Death Star).
-s/<itzo- Posted October 10, 2002 Posted October 10, 2002 hey kev its good to hear you fix the leg problem. i guess theres only a few touch ups left. so i'm thinkin is there a release date??????
KevinCoyle Posted October 10, 2002 Author Posted October 10, 2002 Well, I thought I fixed the problem... When I tried it before after I applied Darth Vigrid's suggestion, the robe looked good, it didn't split anywhere and the legs didn't show through, I noticed the feet doing something funny but I thought it was just a small weighting problem. Unfortunatly, it's not a small problem. The legs don't deform right at all when weight 50% to the pelvis, and 50% to their respective bones, they skrink when the bone moves and huge spikes pop out in all directions and looks horrible. If I can't fix the problem soon I may post a screenshot to show the problem I'm having incase anyone else may know what it is.
Hellfire Jedi Posted October 13, 2002 Posted October 13, 2002 if u dont mind my asking when will this be done

Eldritch Posted October 16, 2002 Posted October 16, 2002 Kevin, what's the status? Have you fixed the problem? Are there any updated screenies? -Anakin
KevinCoyle Posted October 16, 2002 Author Posted October 16, 2002 No luck on fixing the problem yet, but I've been busy the past few days and haven't had a chance to work on it. Hopefully I'll fix the problem soon. I still have a few ideas to try.
12thMonkey Posted October 16, 2002 Posted October 16, 2002 LBuRNa that is one very sweet looking avatar you got there.
Eldritch Posted October 16, 2002 Posted October 16, 2002 LBurna, do you have SivyB's permission to use that avatar? He just made it, and it is nice, but i'm just making sure...
Hellfire Jedi Posted October 16, 2002 Posted October 16, 2002 Figures people like u guys get dragged into a lame discussion like taht in a good thread then its closed plz get back on topic i doubt they would close this but u guys will start going and going back to the model this one is the BEST Vahl's anakin was good too but seems a tad bit too buff and the face here looks AWESOME nothing more nothing less
Eldritch Posted October 16, 2002 Posted October 16, 2002 It's not a lame discussion. It would've been resolved in 2 posts - his and mine. This is an 'A'-'B' discussion so 'C' your way out.
-s/<itzo- Posted October 17, 2002 Posted October 17, 2002 jedi_anakin_s, sivy b is teaching me how to create custom avatars. for now since he changed his avatar sivy b is letting me use his old avatar. i ask him if he wanted to get credit for this awesome work he said no i din't have to. everybody this is sivy b's avatar. so don't get it twisted. in a week or so i'll have my own.
Eldritch Posted October 17, 2002 Posted October 17, 2002 That's what I figured. Sivy is very nice, and makes good avatars to boot.
-s/<itzo- Posted October 17, 2002 Posted October 17, 2002 hey jedi_anakin_s, how about this one, i made it. what you think.
Eldritch Posted October 17, 2002 Posted October 17, 2002 Not bad... it looks a little squished, though (out of proportion)... did you shrink it correctly?
KevinCoyle Posted October 23, 2002 Author Posted October 23, 2002 Sorry guys, Just been busy for a while, hopefully I'll have an update this weekend
