-Tercero- Posted September 5, 2002 Author Share Posted September 5, 2002 JEDI_Anakin_S, I was just rereading through your posts and noticed your request to use my model as an avatar. I'd have no problem with it - I would appreciate it if you put a link to this thread somewhere in your sig. Kinda like Padanime's avatars. That way more people might see it and come nitpick my model;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldritch Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Thanks Tercero. I just might use it as an avatar, but I definitely will add the link to this thread in my sig - the more attention to this model the better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldritch Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Tercero, What do you think of the new avatar? Really shows how far the model has come, eh? Not the best quality, I admit, but you know how little space they give you on the forums here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleek Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 I dun know how to even make an avatar for myself...didn't even know they were called avatars:p . Where was the option or something to make one for yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy867 Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Bleek, under User CP, for edit options near the bottom, there is an option to use a default avatar, or upload a pic to use as your own... they have to be in parameters no bigger than 70x70...but you could use any pic, except pornographic... thats what a lot of people are doing (making their own personal avatar that is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Tercero- Posted September 6, 2002 Author Share Posted September 6, 2002 You can make an avatar just by making a .gif file at 60x60 size, and put it up under user options in the user cp, if I remember correctly. It seems like ages ago that the model looked like that - I forget how far it really has come - and to think how much further it has to go... I like the avatar - the transition effect is pretty neat. I've been able to pull myself away from forcemod for long enough to work a bit on the hair - it's starting to take shape and look more like hair now - I want the hair on the model itself to look like Anakin's before I put the shaders on, that way they just add to the effect. I've got it actually looking like hair to about 3/4 back, at which point it still just looks like a bumpy texture. Hopefully I can get it looking right tonight. I also still need to add a bit of curl to the front of the face texture, but that texture in general needs a lot of work still anyways. Please keep the feedback coming - I really do work a good deal off it, so the more good feedback that I get the faster things go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
<JOTD>Jedi Hunter Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Scroll all the way up to the top of this screen. Look at the little grey buttons. One says user cp. Click on that and then find and click on user options. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen. You see a refrence to avatars. Select it and it will thank you for updateing your profile. It will then take you to an extensive list of avatars (all of which rock:)). You can select one of the avatars or you can put your own on. Remember that it has to be at least 70 by 70 pixels. I'll post a link to a page that's good with resizing gifs. Here's the link I can't wait to see what you choose for your avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atsuri Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Wow... Just lookin at Jedi_Anakin_S's avatar... It really has come a long way. The changes have been so small and so plentiful that I haven't noticed the great change between the two. Again... Wow... *drools* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy867 Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 So bleek pics a model of Anakin Solo, just older I believe. any screenshots of the hair tercero we love screenies:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Tercero- Posted September 6, 2002 Author Share Posted September 6, 2002 Gotta hold off on the screenie - might not get it done tonight - I'm reworking the back of the head so that it'll UV better - I wasn't getting anywhere the way I had it, and that's the part the player will see the most, so I want it to be convincing. The redo is starting to look pretty good though - I had to chop off a section and make a new UV map for it, so I'm in the process of lining the UV's and texture so that everything meshes together right.

Atsuri Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Is it just me or when did we reach 18 pages long for the second thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tnuc Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 o.O Whoa...I just noticed that when I read your post...creeeepeh.... I know this page is on like page five or six, I'm sure...not eighteen. So..yah..I know lucasforums freaked out again today.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Tercero- Posted September 6, 2002 Author Share Posted September 6, 2002 I PM'ed K-Man and asked him to combine the old and new threads - that way people who are new to the thread will have all the information readily available. That's why we're suddenly on page 18... Oh, the hair's starting to look believable now - it's practically seamless - I'm just trying to get the rest of it to go in the right directions now...

Lord Tnuc Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Ooooh....pretty sneaky, Tercy. For that, I steal your girl! Or not o.O Anyway..anyone know how to use milkshape? Or know of a milkshape tut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Tercero- Posted September 6, 2002 Author Share Posted September 6, 2002 I've pretty much finished the UV's for Anakin's head, and I finally have them all legalized so that they will import to JKII smoothly. His hair should be ready for more screenies tommorrow night! Oh, I've decided not to throw in the shaders just yet - I'll add them in after I get a beta version in game... that way I get my Anakin fix faster...

-Tercero- Posted September 6, 2002 Author Share Posted September 6, 2002 I'm trying to decide if I should do the final textures in .tga or .jpg format. In .tga format they will look better, but take longer to load and eat up a bit more video memory, while in .jpg they will lose a good deal of sharpness and color accuracy, but will be less hardware intensive. Just wanted people's input... Oh, I might also not throw in the shaders for the hair on the SP version - the volumetric shadows don't know how to handle them...

Darth2Tyranus Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 so how far are you to a release date? keep it up tercero!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldritch Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Darth2, Take a break with asking about release dates. I've seen you ask more than anyone else, and that's often all you ask. It'll be done when it's done, just be happy Terc is working on it. And Tercero, I think the beta version textures should be .jpg, but the final released edition should be .tga. Just my opinion, but it will help to make the "final release" look the best it possibly can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
<JOTD>Jedi Hunter Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Maybe you could do both Terc. Or if one I'd say .tga but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy867 Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 I vote for doing both, just because it allows for more freedom to the Jedi Outcast community, because not everyone is using a GeForce1,000,000 with 24 GB of DDR RAM... LOL... its makes it fair for those using ati Radeon7200, and even the GF2 people:) So I elect for both on behalf of those without the greatest video cards. But I can't wait to see the new hair... Man, with you constantly giving Anakin a haircut Tercero, makes him lucky he is a model and not a human being that is being given a makeover.. LOL.. Oh and Jessman, I got your message. I've just been so busy these past days/week. I/ve had 3 surgeries on my 2 big toes since last tuesday, so my walking isn't too great:) Plus with JKII.Net, and the Lucasforums, but i haven't forgotten about your skins. Darth Maul, or Boba/Jango it will just take me longer on Darth Maul because of the fact of the horns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deetox187 Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 I'd prefer it as .tga, i'm a sucker for high detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
<JOTD>Jedi Hunter Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Oh geez sorry to hear that. But I hope you're doing ok. I had heart surgery when I was younger. Worst experience of my life. Lol anyway, I'm glad to see you healing up and doing good. Oh and terc and andy, we're putting a photo album up for you guys on our forums/webpage so you can post your screenshots up there if you like. Tercero. We have a new webpage. I can't wait for everyone to see it. It's really great. Anyway, take it easy everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
