Guest Jolts Posted September 19, 2002 Posted September 19, 2002 busy with work today, so I didn't have time to finish off the lods, or play with his face..but I made a little wireframe comp for all you wireframe monkeys out there http://www.geocities.com/joltsone/wrup.txt
Guest Jolts Posted September 19, 2002 Posted September 19, 2002 finished modeling first lod of obi wan, now I just have to finish the other lods. It will be done at the latest by sunday, today and tomorrow I'm swamped with work, so saturday is official lod day for me. If anyone wants me to make a zip with the first lod of obi so they can start playing with texturing it or binding it or whatever, let me know and I'll zip it up and stick on my geocities thing.
Guest Jolts Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 here are some updated renders http://www.geocities.com/joltsone/cm.txt http://www.geocities.com/joltsone/cm2.txt gotta give a big thanks out right now to keo for all the great help on turning my generic face into obiwan, you've reminded me how important it is to draw before you model, thanks.
Guest Jolts Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 yeah I knew...just seeing if you did.
Guest Jolts Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 better? http://www.geocities.com/joltsone/cm3.txt
keo718 Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 I cant tell without a full body shot. Also, His eyes are too big vertically, ears are too big, and his face and nose is too long. Notice the length and shape of his jawline in the following pic compared to your model. Also notice the shape of the hair. His neck is too thick too. http://www.geocities.com/eo718/owk-ig02.jpg http://www.geocities.com/joltsone/cm3.txt copy/paste
Double_S84 Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 **** man.....i mean i like obi wan and all but i thought you were gonna do a basic kinda jedi. That woulda rocked so much. Think bout all the the happy skinners that would raise your banner in praise. HEHE. Ive been readin to much lord of the rings stuff. OHWELL......... Godd job
Guest Jolts Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 I am still doing that, this is a side project to it. I work on the lods, I work on this, and switch back and forth. The basic jedi body with lods will be out by sunday.
Double_S84 Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 Thank god. Errrrrrrrr a thank you. Is there a thread for it? Id like to see how its lookin.
Eldritch Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 In addition to what Keo said, don't forget the cleft in his chin. -Anakin

Hey, no problem man, glad I could help. I appreciate the shoutout.
Grafox Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 Yeah, keo is a pain in the but about details, but that's a very good thing!
Eldritch Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 Yeah, Keo was also one of those that helped shaped -Tercero-'s Anakin model into its present incarnation. He's got a real eye for the details. -Anakin

I'm glad my criticism is found to be beneficial.
Toonces Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 Yeah, you have a great eye for detail I beleive Tercero mentioned this once before, but you'd probly make a great texture artist Nice little touch on the ears jolts
keo718 Posted September 22, 2002 Posted September 22, 2002 Thanks Toonces. I just wish I knew how to make textures. I have photoshop. Do you guys just use the typical brushes in Photoshop(or whatever program you have) to skin? I don't really know how to format it either. Sorry for getting off topic.

Yep, just using the normal brushes, burn and dodge(don't use it to much) and all the layer variaties (sp?). I currently have a skin in the works consisting of 67 layers (a pain on my RAM).
Eldritch Posted September 22, 2002 Posted September 22, 2002 Grafox, Varieties. -Anakin (and the winner of the shortest post ever award goes to...)
Double_S84 Posted September 23, 2002 Posted September 23, 2002 Hey jolts man. Have you come up with a face for your character yet. Not obi wan the other one. I have a few unique jedi ideas. I can send some drawins to you via e mail if ya want. I even got a few great names. Again only if you want em.
Guest Jolts Posted September 23, 2002 Posted September 23, 2002 thanks for the offer, but I don't have the time right now. I didn't even get my weekend off...If I were you I would post them anyways and get some feedback on them, maybe someone else will want to make them.
adillon Posted September 23, 2002 Posted September 23, 2002 Quote Originally posted by Jolts If I were you I would post them anyways and get some feedback on them, maybe someone else will want to make them. definitely ... i don't think people post enough conceptual stuff to get feedback on. this can really help people out even before they start modeling the character, at least IMO. jolts, are you using max for this model? if so, what's the story on your lighting? the renderings look so much different than other models i've seen posted on here, and i'm just curious. loving the progression of your model, jolts. keep cranking away at 'em.
Guest Jolts Posted September 23, 2002 Posted September 23, 2002 I'm using maya 4.0, renders are crappy, I never put much time into lighting the model. The latest renders were just 2 ambient lights, before that I used directional or point lights. They help pop the facets out more, helps me see the shape bettter.
Eldritch Posted September 24, 2002 Posted September 24, 2002 Any new progress to report? And don't worry about the lighting/rendering of the model too much right now. As it gets more complete and moving closer to the final version you can start worrying about it. For now, don't sweat it. -Anakin
Guest Jolts Posted September 24, 2002 Posted September 24, 2002 Havn't had more than 2 hours to work on this in the last few days, work is starting to eat away my time. Anways here is a quick and dirty inside of maya shot of a few jawline tweaks. Ignore the hair and ears, just temp place holders for now. http://www.geocities.com/joltsone/obmy.txt lods on the body are coming along, have first and second done for the generic jedi body.
