Master Hawk Posted July 1, 2003 Posted July 1, 2003 I have a Question for Kevin Coyle. Kevin I am starting to model and I thought that I would just start off slow and try to edit a reborn. I have 3D Studio Max, and I was wondering if I could edit the .glm file. If so then what do i convert the file to so that it can be opened in 3D Studio. -Thanks a bunch -[DJM]-War Hawk-DM-
KevinCoyle Posted July 2, 2003 Author Posted July 2, 2003 Here is a Screenshot of the Episode 2 Obi-wan head so far, the hair and beard skin still need a lot of work but it's coming along pretty good. Episode 2 obi-wan head For Master Hawk: If you want to edit the reborn model you could download Milkshape (it's free for a month) and use it to import the glm and then export it from milkshape to .3ds. Then you can import the 3ds into max.
The Cheat Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 wow, thats all i have to say, i cant wait for a episode 2 obi wan. this pack is looking better and better
<JOTD>Jedi Hunter Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 I personally look forward to old man obi. THE TRUE OBIWAN! I can't wait. Beautiful. Great job. I love this model. It's my favorite. Well done. (I sound crazy)
Master Hawk Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 Thank You Very Much Kevin. That's helps out a lot. I have 3D Studio Max version 2. It's an early version and I think it may be holding me back a lot. Time to put in some more time at the office I guess. I hear 5 doesn't come cheap. Thanks a ton
KevinCoyle Posted July 2, 2003 Author Posted July 2, 2003 Here's a rendering of an early version of the body for the EP1/2 body. Helpful criticism is encouraged. Early Body Render
KevinCoyle Posted July 2, 2003 Author Posted July 2, 2003 yeah, your right, the head does look a little small on the shoulders. I haven't attached the head to the body yet so it's an easy fix. I'll probably just replace the picture with the update in a few minutes. To answer your question, I use a box to start modeling heads.
Cornflake Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 The heads are amazing exept the Ben Kenobi head which is above amazing .I hope to download the models soon . Keep up the good work .
Hellfire Jedi Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 Arg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There NOT SKINS!!! There MODELS and top notch PROFESSIONAL ones. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT skins.
The Cheat Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 these are looking great, are the bodies for episodes 1 and 2 the same?
Crowy Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 the head does seem too... small... but i tihnk... the neck may be the cause.. it seems to be... twiggy slightly... if that makes sense... (please note: if this post does not make sense it may be due to me being tired)
<JOTD>Jedi Hunter Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 I think the legs look a bit thick above the boots. I'm aware that he's wearing pants. But they seem a bit thick. I suggest making them just a little bit thinner.
ZBomber Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 Nice, but I think the Episode 2 Obi needs to have more blond in his hair.
Dante Alastor Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 well one thing that might not be too big of a deal, but i always thought ep2 obi wan's robes were always a bit baggier?
KaiaSowapit Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 Wow, looks fantastic Kevin... what do I win if I can guess what scene in Ep II you're using as reference for Ewan McGregor? P.S. How's our little friend coming?
The Cheat Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 wouldnt he use several scenes to make it more accurate?
KaiaSowapit Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 Quote wouldnt he use several scenes to make it more accurate? Most likely, of course. I meant it as a complement. Kevin has captured the essence of McGregor so well, I can nearly compare it directly to a still-frame. Yes the beard and the hair in particular need some work, but the eyes and bone structure are spot on. I'm eagerly awaiting this model's release. Fantastic work!
<JOTD>Jedi Hunter Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 I fully agree with the knowledgable Kaia. You've done much more then even requested. You've extended the line of art when it comes to modeling. All of your models so far look just like their real counterparts. Well done Kevin.
The Cheat Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 yeah those faces look amazingly accurate just like his old ben model, great job kevin
KevinCoyle Posted July 5, 2003 Author Posted July 5, 2003 Thank you for the kind words and helpful pointers everyone. I have an update on the model. I imported a few existing jedi knight models for comparison to help get the head porportions rights, I fixed that and thickened the neck a little. To clear up some confusion, I'm using the same body model for episode 1 obi-wan and the episode 2 obi-wan, but that doesn't mean I won't make the necessary adjustments to the model for Episode 2. by "Ep1/Ep2 body" I meant I wouldn't be starting from scratch for the episode 2 body, that would be silly since they're basically the same. Note, The picture looks a little funny where the neck meets the torso, I'm waiting to fix that for when I attach the head to the body Obiwan body render 2
Chewie Bakker Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 I think Darth Vader said it best: Impressive. Most impressive. Keep up the good work. This project is one of of a select few that keeps my JK2 CD sitting on my desk. The Force will be with you, always.
<JOTD>Jedi Hunter Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 Very well done Kevin. That looks so much better. I have a question for you. Regarding do Old bens body, will you include an unrobed version? I don't think anyone's thought of that before. I mean, at least for an old ben. I think it would be cool. Or maybe even put an extra model in the pack. Like old bens head on ep 2 bens body. Giving him his old features, but with his prequel clothing. That would also be nice. Just some added suggestions, no need to take them seriously.
RaSiN_HeCk Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 there is an unrobed version with the previously released Old Ben, but he doesn't have the classic Jedi tunic. Then again, Ben Kenobi never wore the classic tan Jedi tunic in the Star Wars Triolgy.
