Saber Hilts

[MagSul]

Very tasty design, I'm liking it a lot!

[hka1894]

I'm actually working with CaptainCrazy to try and learn how to make hilts myself so I guess whoever gets them finished first, me or whoever wants to make them on here, will be the ones I use

[ChalklYne]

dear god chalk , use splines for those swirly things

 im about to just break out the digi pen

Thank you.

 

Ill redo the swirly designs with the digi pen later. im going to add a bunch of that kind of stuff, then do the scratches and what not.

Very nice work Chalk! Looks great!

[ChalklYne]

still tampering

 

 

[Circa]

Goodness Chalk. I didn't think you'd go into that much detail.

 

Just know that you don't have to. I'm a simple saber kind of guy myself. If it takes longer and more effort, maybe do some more simple ones too.

 

Looks awesome though!

If I release 1 crappy saber, tomorrow it's 2.. then a map object or 2.. then the whole map... then the world. I'll go into a downward spiral of crappy texturing and shoddy geometry, overall leading me back into a drunken binge where I don't know what day it is and who i went home with. Laziness leads to the darkside brotha

 

=P rofl!

 

point taken though

 

i particularly wanted this 1 to be "an elegant weapon for a more civilized age"

 

and for once it's coming out almost exactly like i hoped. which is a rarity with me

Not crappy, just simple. Like the hilts from the movies.

 

And yeah, I'd say you achieved your goal wonderfully!

[ChalklYne]

I thought I was to make an original hilt? If you don't like my saber @@Circa just say it. come on spill the beets. you think my saber is full of suck dont u?

 

dick.

 

rofl!!!

Haha you are to make an original! I meant like the hilts in the movies as in the style. They are more simple looking than that.

 

You know I think your saber is amazing. Who woulnd't?

 

As for the sig, it's pretty simple as well. PM me with what you want and I can help you out with it.

 

[ChalklYne]

schweet

 

sounds good

 

and i was going for more TOR than the movies, but no worries ill give u guys a simple one or two as well

[therfiles]

Well done, Chalk! JKA definitely needs some more saber staffs! Lookin' great!

[MagSul]

I'm wondering if it would be possible (as it was mentioned to skip the extra gear page before each mission) to add dual and staff configurations to the weapon cycle. i.e. If you were to select a staff that came apart into two separate hilts, you could cycle between the staff, the two separate hilts or just one of them.

[katanamaru]

That would be very handy when stances are able to be added. As it is right now I just have keys bound to all my favorite sabers.

[ChalklYne]

pretty much done just need to write shaders and get ingame

 

 

 

Should I include variants?

 

She's gunna be niiiiice with some shaders

[CaptainCrazy]

Taught him how to model one very similar to this one last night xD

[ChalklYne]

taught who?

That would be cool, but not really possible to work well without coding it, if you mean ingame. A menu would be cool.

 

I going to be incorporating my Ingame Character and Saber menus in this project as well, so that might help with what you want.

 

@@ChalklYne very nice! Not sure about the colors as separate hilts though. It would be cool if we could do RGB for sabers.

[hka1894]

Welllll I was going to show you all what me and CaptainCrazy have been working on but 3ds Max has just like froze up for like ten minutes now and won't let me do anything and I've tried closing the application and reopening it but to no avail... So here's what I've been staring at...

[hka1894]

FINALLY got it to working. Well, this is where we've gotten to. This would've been absolutely impossible if it weren't for Master CaptainCrazy who literally walked me through every step:

You don't need to post in both threads. Pick one and use the other for general updates if you want.

 

Like I said in the other thread, it looks good, but it looks a little too short for a staff hilt.

[ChalklYne]

taught who?

oh duh im retarded.

 

yeah a bit short. unless its a 1 handed dual saber. which would be win

Yep. It's one handed.
