monsoontide Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Just started on this in what little spare time I have at the mo. ftp://68.4.22.173/Monsoontide/JK2/ScoutWIP1.jpg ftp://68.4.22.173/Monsoontide/JK2/ScoutWIP2.jpg ftp://68.4.22.173/Monsoontide/JK2/ScoutWIP3.jpg ftp://68.4.22.173/Monsoontide/JK2/ScoutWIP4.jpg User: tide1 Pass: monsoon1 It's way to high Poly count but will refine it once I've finalized all the shapes. I plan on cheating a bit owing to time constraints and this being my first attempt at a JK2 player model, so I'm using LUKE's body as a reference for everything (Scale / Caps / #Polys etc) Plan on building the armour over the next week or two but have many other projects on the go. Hope you like. I know there is another scout trooper out there in progress so maybe if you're lucky you'll get two!! Monsoontide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsoontide Posted September 5, 2002 Author Share Posted September 5, 2002 That's right t3rr0r, it's just the raw mesh with some coloured parts to help make construction easier. Textures / Skinning will come when the whole thing is built. I'm more a builder by trade than a painter!! If anyone can point the way to a few vertex weighting tutorials, I'd be much obliged.

hawk_of_war Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 I just tried it again and it worked this time... must have been a momentary server glitch. [edit] Looks good, but it seems a tad bit too long. In the movies the eye guard thing (don't know what else to call it) seemed about half an inch, yours is closer to a full inch.

monsoontide Posted September 6, 2002 Author Share Posted September 6, 2002 Yeah, I only have reference pics of front and back plus a 3/4 view. Does anyone have any links to some other reference pics? (Mine are from StarWars.com, Rebelscum.com and Yakface.com) Thanks Monsoontide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsoontide Posted September 11, 2002 Author Share Posted September 11, 2002 Hi Everyone, Well after a break to work on a Sith Infiltrator MD3 for SunBurN's SithEmergence map, I've managed to get an hour during my lunch break today at work to start working on the Biker Scout again. ftp://68.4.22.173/Monsoontide/JK2/ User: tide1 Pass: monsoon1 ScoutWIP5.jpg Now before you all start - this is simply my hijacking of several different RAVEN models hacked together to create a VERY rough guide for me to work from. So far the only parts I've actually worked on are the Helmet and I had a little time to start work on the breastplate/backpack - but I need more references - can anyone help? There are NO textures on this model - I've simple coloured various sections to make modeling easier. There is still A LOT of work to be done to bring this up to the quality level the community deserves. Along the way I may need a little help as well - I'm using Lightwave 7.5 for modeling and I don't have 3DS MAX - which I believe is what you need to get a model IN-Game. Still that's getting ahead of myself. Comments / Resources appreciated. Monsoontide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padawan_7 Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 Wow!!!! That looks nice! Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk_of_war Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 Looks good. P.S. Ignore anything made by Raven. They didn't do a great job on the armor by any means. It'd be better for you to try making your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsoontide Posted September 12, 2002 Author Share Posted September 12, 2002 I'm just using the RAVEN models as a Size/Placement guide. I'm gonna remake mostly everything cos I don't like the way they model parts. Will hopefully get a little more done during lunch tonight. However our company BLOCKS ****loads of webpages so I can't upload pix from work. Monsoontide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsoontide Posted September 12, 2002 Author Share Posted September 12, 2002 Was looking for references to help me with this model and found this website: http://www.studiocreations.com/bikerscout/main.html It tells you how to create your own Biker Scout costume - quite comprehensive and the diagrams will be exceptionally useful in allowing me to amke the model as acurate as possible.

Takeoffyouhoser Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 I say it looks Fantastic!! My only negative comment is that the mouthpiece of the helmet is a bit too far out... other than that it is great!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk_of_war Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Yea, I would have complained about that, but I couldn't remember if that was how it looked or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsoontide Posted September 14, 2002 Author Share Posted September 14, 2002 O.K. Managed to work on this a bit more today using my new references. It's starting to come together. Slowly replacing all the stolen bits with custom built parts - so far the chest and back armour, the knee guards and the forearm shields. Still need to work on the belt and the various pouches and I don't like the standard Raven boots - they're not 'Chunky' enough. Once all the pieces in place I need to optimize the model and try to reduce the poly count as much as possible. I have made the snout shorter and angled the front edge of the visor shield. The backpack sits a little low for my tastes (even though this is directly from the ref pics) so will probably move it up a bit. Will upload the new PIC (it's called ScoutWIP6) when I get home after work cos I can't do it from here. (I'll post a quick update to this thread when I've upped the pic) Monsoontide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsoontide Posted September 14, 2002 Author Share Posted September 14, 2002 OK, the latest PIC is up ftp://68.4.22.173/Monsoontide/JK2/ User: tide1 Pass: monsoon1 PIC is called ScoutWIP6.jpg Monsoontide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsoontide Posted September 20, 2002 Author Share Posted September 20, 2002 I've just started work on a Blaster for the Scout Trooper (Will post a pic of it when I get a bit more work done). The model is mostly done apart from texturing and I have to check the Polycount against RAVENs guns. I would like to try to get it in game to replace that AWFUL Bryar pistol. I know theres's a Blastech in the works as well, so you'll have something to choose from at last!! I'm currently starting to optimize the Scout Trooper (He's about 3500 polys at the mo) and I'll refine the helmet in particular and various other bits. I redid the boots so they have heels on them and a chunkier front to them. The belt also has a little bit more detail to it - not too much though as it's not a really important area. Then the hard part begins I'm not quite so good with 3DS max as other 3D packages. Monsoontide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t3rr0r Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 i just noticed a couple areas that could use some work if you haven't tweaked these already... the helmet seems a little too high on the neck. the "ears" are a tiny bit too high. he should have black gauntlets, and those white elbow guards or whatever they are should be shorter and higher. http://www.galacticempiredatabank.com/ScoutTrooperB.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
