You'd have to modify it QUITE a bit to get it to look like Anakin. He's much skinnier and has a unique getup - plus his robe isn't really a robe... it's more like a cape. I get your point, but just sticking different heads on the same body robs the characters of their individuality.

I understand that, and I'm not suggesting just switching heads. I'm just saying that there's a base there that could be modified to suite many different jedi. Of course the bodies and textures would have to be altered, but it wouldn't be quite as much work as someone starting from scratch.

Hmm... maybe a "workfile" of several different surfaces would work. However... I think it might take away from the originality of a character to have premade pieces fit to a certain character scheme.

 

I think the main goal is probably to get out the heroes/villians... all the recognizable people in the kind of detail that makes you recognize them in-game. I don't see how anyone could go "ooh, I should model Generic Jedi!... wow, looks just like him!" It would be a great idea, for sure... even to have a base for those who would like to have skin variants. But I don't see that happening for quite a while. Not until these big projects are complete.

 

Arco... how do you sleep at night? :p Very intimidating skin! I agree with Anakin_S that it feels wrong, but not sure why. I guess it's because we're all used to the good, strong, firm Mace, and not the painless psychotic killer Mace. I think it's great to have such different and creative interpretations of a character representation. Got any pics of the entire body?

 

Also, Toonces, did you try anything else with the robe yet? Just wondering, since I haven't noticed any updates about that lately.

 

Great work, everyone!!

I had my doubts when I heard that this model was being made. I was a big fan of Klorel's Mace Windu (still am. I just wish it'd get done). I didn't think that anybody could come as close. But I have to admit that I'm impressed. I mean, this screenshot http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/cottages/genq3/mace-newtorso.jpg looks spectacular!

 

Just wondering, though. What are those little colored bars on his belt for?

hehe. whenever I look at them I hear a long *beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep* in my head ;)

They're food capsules. They're supposed to be silver and bronze/gold hues, but Arco just decided to make them in a variety of colors for whatever reason. :D

i think this pic is pretty done looking to me. is there anyway you can post a screenie of the robed version of him. or will it take some time. i don't need to see it i just want to. cuz i like the robed models more. it gives them more of a jedi feel to 'em. but the robeless mace is dead on in my eyes.

heh, I wish, I gotta fix the robe still, I'm not sure how long that will take me, hopefully not too long. I have been insanely busy over the last couple days so I haven't had any real time to invest in the models, I have some time to work today though so we'll see what all I can do :)

 

I really love the red skin, it looks awesome in game :)

I love the default skin. :) The likeness is awesome. Could you give us some in game screenies Toonces? Maybe some using cutscenes, like you did with your Kit model.

 

I can't remember if this has been discussed but who is doing the sounds on this one? Are they gonna be strictly Star Wars quotes or are you guys gonna use some lines from other movies?;)

 

Keep up the good work, guys.

heh, by rushed I meant bugs and stuff. Palp wasn't really as much as a rush job as Kit was, with Kit when I got near the end I wanted to remodel parts of his body and make a bunch of changes, but I guess when I say I rushed it I just mean I didn't take as much time as I should have to identify all the problems, I missed a few little ones

 

WhiteShdw, I'll get ya some cutscene pics, I have only tried him once in single player but all looks good now so I'll go ahead and get some for you :)
