character HUMANOID SKEL NPC: Gran

[Barricade24]

I hope no one minds me posting this here but ever since DT85 started the Dark Forces II mod, I wanted to pitch in and help.One particular thing I knew I could do was create a skin of the alternate Gran that appears in the game. After going off the JK enhanced version as reference I came up with this:

 

 

Let me guys know if you have any feedback on this guy. Rather simple I know. But it would be a useful addition to the game.

[Circa]

Looks great! I'm sure DT will love to put it in the mod.

[Tempust85]

Lovin' it! Will definately use it when you're done.

[Barricade24]

I actually darkened my first version and adjusted the collar a bit. He should be uploaded soon.

[Barricade24]

The gran has been submitted. Let me know what you guys think.

[KCDodger]

Excellent. The lack of brown-shirted gran in JKII/JA always bothered me.

Interestingly, that Grans both in Dark Forces II and Jedi Outcast (and JA) have wrong fists from the start. Originally it's the way grans looked like in Episode VI, one of which had a certain decease on his hands, which made them swell so much. Whilst the illness was known in SW almost from the first appearance of grans, the true form and size of the hands was shown, perhaps, in Episode I, where the Malastare senators can be seen, supporting the offer of the Trade Federation to send a commission to Naboo.

 

But these fists fit more than perfectly into the plot of JK, the gameplay and the fact, that grans are good at fist-fighting.

Hnn...I didn't know that. That's some interesting info.

[Barricade24]

Okay, I've been looking at the JK Grans and I noticed that the first one seemed slightly different from the current JKO/JKA one.

 

Tell me what you think about this one?

[Tempust85]

This looks good to me. I think there's a few grayish ones in the cutscenes, or the lighting was bad.

[Archangel35757]

How does he get his clothes over those big fists? Must be made of a stretchy spandex material...

[Barricade24]

@@DT85 Could be. I never noticed how tanned the original JKA gran looked compared to this one. I might try to adjust the torso textures a bit to match the game one more. But, we'll see how it goes.

[Tempust85]

Don't forget, DF2 had set palette's for each type of texture so I wouldn't say they could go nuts with detail & color blending like we can.

[Bek]

Wish we could adjust the model to have smaller hands, canonically it would be correct. 

[Ramikad]

It can be done quite easily, frankensteining any basic hands on the model and adjusting the sleeves.
