nomad Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Thanks for the preview. You've done a great job! The head and the face look awesome. You don't owe anyone an apology. I compleyely understand what you mean about telling yourself you'll finish it, but all the frustration of the process saps away your motivation. Actually, you said it quite well. I really hope someone can help you finalize this model. You've done a terriffic job, especially for your first! Those robes have caused many headaches among the model makers around here, so don't think you're alone The painful trick is to keep the robe from splitting and prevent the legs from clipping through the robe at the same time. Of course the over cloak adds that much more of a problem (especially with the sleeves, right?) I actually spoke to Toonces a while ago (right after he finished the Mace, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan models), to see if he was interested in helping you out with this model, but he's been so busy and consumed with other stuff, I don't know what he's up to now. He's done so much good work for other people, and by himself, perhaps it's time for someone else to step up and continue the helping chain that he continued from Cheshire and sithlordii (to name only a few). I know last time I spoke to him, he was quite busy with the real world, so we can't expect all this free stuff to keep coming from the same people. Unfortunately, I cannot help you in any way with the weighting. Though I can suggest studying the Mon Mothma model that came with the game. (and possibly the Yareal Poof model by PsykoSith) I only visit around here about once or twice a week, but it makes it so worth it when I catch a post like yours. Thanks SO MUCH for your hard work towards rewarding us with the great character of Obi-Wan Kenobi. We almost have him in all his glory... -nomad MTFBWY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinCoyle Posted February 13, 2003 Author Share Posted February 13, 2003 I've got some good news, I've finally worked out the leg problem! That was my biggest obstacle, the problem I was having with the outer robe was just weights, I'll eventually get it worked out but it will be a tedious process and will take some time, but after that all I need to do is weight the fingers and face bones and he'll be ready for release.

Darth NeoVenom Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 I've downloaded your Ben Kenobi model and is it awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12thMonkey Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 I got the unrobed-unhooded version and it's great although the robes do sort of glow really white, the robes might get rid of this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinCoyle Posted February 13, 2003 Author Share Posted February 13, 2003 I've noticed this, especially in maps with alot of lighting like the deathstar, I plan to darken the skin a bit before release so the robes won't look like they're glowing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The model looks good otherwise, Kevin. Nice job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hekx Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Originally posted by Flanders The website won't let me download the file. Try this. Should work, it'll most probably open a new window before the download pops up. Count this as a mirror download. ------ I haven't had much time to test the model, plus I've been on pure servers lately. But it looks great. Hopefully it's only a matter of time until the final release is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_NinjaGaiden_ Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 pretty good so far if you can make his face a tiny bit more worn it might look a little better but other than that its good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinCoyle Posted February 15, 2003 Author Share Posted February 15, 2003 I'm working on getting the robed version working in-game, here are a few screenshots so far Screen1 Screen2 Screen3 I've hall all the problems with the legs worked out, the main thing that's bugging me is the clipping of the robe around the torso, it doesn't show up while running forward or backward or standing still (except for the blue stance, which has a problem), only when the model is stretched alot like while running at an angle or swinging a saber. here are some other screens of the problem. I could use some advice from any modelers out there with robe experience. I'm trying to work out the problem without making the robe look extremly puffy. Any help would be wonderful Clipping1 clipping 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mex Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 I got it to download. Now there's a problem, my Jedi Outcast won't start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinCoyle Posted February 15, 2003 Author Share Posted February 15, 2003 It's looking like I may have to release the robed version of Ben as a seperate model, it will make the download bigger but I can't seem to fix the clipping problem around the shoulders while attacking with the saber using the red stance. The only way I can think of is to pull the torso underneath the robe in where you can't see so it doesn't show through the robe, but that would require I release it as a seperate model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boinga1 Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 i don't know if this will help but here's what toonces did on his Jedi models he had two torsos, torso and torso_robe. the latter was a smaller one for use with the robe. for the unrobed versions, he surfed off the torso_robe and robe. for robed skins, he surfed off the r_arm and l_arm and the regular torso. you might try to contact him about getting more specific intrctions.
