Crowy Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 i tihnk jamie should jsut get help releasing it, he can improve later, as ive said before im glad someones doing it and besides, we dont know what it will look like in game till it skinned i meant rebel could help "fitting" it to the jk skeleton
Darth_Kitty Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 Jamie, the model looks great. The polycount in JKII is : LOD 1 500 LOD 2 1500 LOD 3 3000 But like my Snake model you can get higher. There is really no way in hell you can go over the polycount. The only reason people make models under the LOD3 is because most PC's aren't that good and it's too hard on there's. I say, release it when people say it's done. As an artist, you will NEVER feel that it is good yet. Look at Snake (http://www.awardwinningdesign.net/uploads/1.jpg , http://www.awardwinningdesign.net/uploads/2.jpg) I belive there is way more I can do on him, but everyone on the modding scene (UT QIII JKII MP HL ect ect ect) say's it's the best model of him ever. But I can't leave him alone! LOL So release it when you get some people that say it's done. I hope this helps and once again, GREAT work on the model
SkiTzoGuy Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 Wow nice snake model you got there!. Anyway Jamie i hope you make the right decision in this and I hope its a good one, anyway good luck with whatever you are going to do, and i hope this model will be a SUCCESS.
SkiTzoGuy Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 hey jamie how is this model doing?.. Whats the scoop on your idea about giving to another modeler or skinner?.. I hope you make the right decision.
Crowy Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 its his model, his rendition of how eeth koth looks, i personally think he should release it!
SkiTzoGuy Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 Nah i don't think it needs to be released right now, I still think this model needs more or a lot more work on it in order for it to be released. I still needs more detail and texturization and all of that stuff. So Jamie if you are going to give it to someone to model or skin it, choose a good modeler.
Crowy Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 well personally i tihnk jamie is getting sick of it and should release a beta and work on it again some other day
PerfectJamie Posted April 19, 2003 Author Posted April 19, 2003 well, I made my choice......I will compeletly redo him from scratch
SkiTzoGuy Posted April 19, 2003 Posted April 19, 2003 Originally posted by PerfectJamie well, I made my choice......I will compeletly redo him from scratch from, from scratch? Wow that is a big jumb for this model. I hope you know what you are going to do. I wish you good luck with the model you are going to redo.
Crowy Posted April 19, 2003 Posted April 19, 2003 WOW!!! IM TOTALLY SHOCKED!! EVEN I DIDNT EXPECT THAT!!!
SkiTzoGuy Posted April 19, 2003 Posted April 19, 2003 Well i didn't expect that to happen I thought this model was going to be given to someone else. I hope the next model will be better or improved a lot.
Darth_Kitty Posted April 19, 2003 Posted April 19, 2003 WOW! You must be really into modeling! HEHEHE heck, I would just like kill myself if I had to redo a new model... I think the current one is ok though. But hey, it's not my art so...GO FOR IT!
SkiTzoGuy Posted April 19, 2003 Posted April 19, 2003 The model was ok, but there were some areas that seriously needed to be fixed, like the head, hair, tunic, or robe whatever, um colors and others but thats not as important as the ones above, unless i am mistaken.
PerfectJamie Posted April 19, 2003 Author Posted April 19, 2003 well, this time I am not going to make the many mistakes I made, wish me luck, I'll post next once i have something showable
Crowy Posted April 19, 2003 Posted April 19, 2003 perhap you should get it clsoed and start again when your ready so you dont get people like me and others annoying you
SkiTzoGuy Posted April 19, 2003 Posted April 19, 2003 heh, Jamie just take you time and do your best!, make different variations of the model, like make more then one robe and post then so we could vote on it, and stuff like that.
jp-30 Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Instead of starting from scratch, why not use an existing model, such as Mace Windo (with the modellers permission, of course) and modify it by adding the horns, and adjusting the clothing, and the head shape etc to get a good likeness? That way, you 'll have the proportions worked out, and it will be a short project, rather than a long, daunting one. As you get more practice, you'll improve and the proportions will become second nature.
Crowy Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 eeth koth wears a much much longer tunic that windu... its like a dress with a cut at the legs sort of thing.... but still a good idea
jp-30 Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Well, use one of the ANH Obi Wan models as a base. It was the concept, not the actual model that I was trying to get across. So maybe take the Obi Wan torso & legs, and the Windu head and weld them together, if that's viable (again, asking permission from both modellers). Bung some horns on, tweak the mesh here and there....
Crowy Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 mine came out wrong... it wouldnt take much to do so... off of windu... i tihnk ben kenobi is too... fat for eeth...??? jp-30... would you skin it if he could get it unwrapped?
jp-30 Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 > i tihnk ben kenobi is too... fat for eeth...??? So, you use your modelling program to thin him down. The big criticism of the Eeth Koth is that the proportions were all wrong. If you start with a well proportioned model as a base, and then tweak it with the clothes, accessories, fatness/thinness etc you'll get a lot further a lot quicker. > jp-30... would you skin it if he could get it unwrapped? Yeah. I said I would have a go at the last (abandoned) version in the Skinning Forum thread.
boinga1 Posted May 3, 2003 Posted May 3, 2003 encore. a modeller willing to start from scratch to get high quality. Good thinking.
