Toonces Posted October 8, 2002 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

§ith Lord Posted October 9, 2002 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-s/<itzo- Posted October 10, 2002 Share 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?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinCoyle Posted October 10, 2002 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
