Midgit Yoda Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 Well I was making this model to go with Sithlordii and arco's Optimus Prime model they were making but it looks as though they're not going to put that in JK2 (I requested for them to send the .max file to me and I would try my best to get it in game). I was working on this when I first read the Optimus prime thread. Now I'm not any Sithlordii when it comes to modeling but I guess it's pretty good. It'll look way better when the REAL skin is on it (this is just a temporary skin that I threw together today just for looks. It's not even finished. Just the face and front torso). And before anyone posts is, I know that the Decepticon icon on his chest is too big hehe. I just wanted it that big for looks I probably won't skin the actual version I'm just wanting some decent screens. Anyway enough mumbo jumbo, here are some renders. Keep in mind that the skin on there is TEMPORARY and unfinished lol. Megatron001 Megatron002 Megatron003 Megatron004 Also on the mesh, I just today realized that I need to add the round barrel to his back. I'll do that once I get home tonight (have to go to a stinkin picnic yuck ) Also I'm debating on wether or not I should attach the gun to the top of his arm even though it will not function. The only problem if I did is that I'd have to make it not stick out as far as his hand b/c that would make the lightsaber deform through it oddly.

Madjai Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 eh? what?! theyre NOT putting the Optimus model in JK2? why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonces Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 Sith is having MAJOR deformation problems. The width of the legs and arms are giving him alot of problems. Midgit, Megatron looks pretty cool thus far, I'll be looking forward to it's progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madjai Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 well if you want any help weighting him just ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgit Yoda Posted September 21, 2002 Author Share Posted September 21, 2002 Well, I forgot to post the polycount before hehe. The current polycount is roughly 1424. It would be about 1200 but when I optimized the face it looked like royal crap so I didn't optimize the face. I don't really like skinning and I'm not too hot at doin it, so I need someone to skin it. Mariners if you wanna skin it, it's all you. I love your work. Also if someone wants to do a team skin (I was thinkin Hapslash because he's a great skinner as well). I'll probably run into some deformation problems as well because my Megatron model is basically build like Optimus except for a few things. I'll try my best to get it to deform decent, if I can I'll try to talk sithlordii into letting me work on Optimus or tell him how I fixed Megatron . I'll post an update on Megatron tonight (gonna try to get him finished UVMapped, weighted, and capped tonight and run him through assimilate).

Haseco Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 i'd say try to make him have rectangular connectors between the body/arms and body/legs because he looks really skinny...but thats just me. Good model besides that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMan Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 The proportions are looking way weird. He looks like Megatron's midget brother or something. Also the head is waaay too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Chrono_MOT- Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 He needs to look more like Megatron and less like Darth Megatron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 no offence migit....but ive seen way better work out of you before.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgit Yoda Posted September 22, 2002 Author Share Posted September 22, 2002 Yeah, I know. The proportions are way off (hoped no one would notice). That's quite honestly the best I can do because of Stupid Raven's Skeleton. I guess if no one likes it this way and thinks it could work I'll just quit workin on it. I'm working on an "accurate" version for Unreal Tournament (because they're not stupid like Raven's JK2 lol). I've gotten really far on the JK2 version as incorrect as it may be so if there are people wanting me to finish it, just let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deetox187 Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 I like it, sure it could be better but i don't see anyone else making Megatron for JK2.. i say keep at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
