New Pauldron

[JAWSFreelao]

We need a new clone pauldron. With all respect to Neomarz and his creations, we'd benefit from a newer, more accurat clone pauldron.

[Tempust85]

Need all new clone models. Someone (I don't, too many variations) who has the ability to do ALL the variants should totally do it.

HapSlash...

^Keep on dreaming, he's been gone for 5+ years.

[CaptainCrazy]

What's wrong with the current one?  It's an honest question I just haven't really seen them and it'd help to know what can be improved lol.

[Tempust85]

Overuse of tris, proportion inaccuracies & some UV stretching issues. But still, it's the only ones we have so can't complain too much.

[JAWSFreelao]

That, and the pauldrons curve UP, but the current pauldron curves down.

[AshuraDX]

well a new clone model could probably be done in collaboration if a couple of modelers got together

I'd say if we can build a team of 3 modelers or so I'd we go for it

[Circa]

Agreed. As long as you have someone that knows all the different variants needed, you're golden. I think @@Barricade24 is the most knowledgable about them, though he's not a modeler, he could help with skinning probably.

When I'm modeling I stay away from tri's as much as i possibly can.  If i happen to make a tri then I'll spend as long as it takes to make it a quad or I just wont continue until i have.

 

Pauldrons don't look that hard to make really but, as stated, a new clone model would be ideal as well.  I've been considering making one myself but I'm too much of a perfectionist so I'm still trying to find good orthographic reference images/concept art.

 

I managed to get a few high detailed shots of the helmet from this guy on Youtube (I asked him to take specific pictures of it.) but alas they don't like up properly 100% which is a pain in the ass.

[Barricade24]

I still have that list of clone equipment if people want need it for reference. But yeah, I would love to see a new definitive clone model made. It is really needed.

so would you collaborate with me on this ? if so I'd say we look for a third one and get started then

Well we can discuss what needs to be done and go from there?  I don't like to say yes if I'm not even sure what I'd be required to do.

[JAWSFreelao]

I like where this is going.. I have a helmet, already modeled and ready to go if you guys want it.

[Tempust85]

You should get a base mesh going that everyone involved agrees on, then add armor to it.

You don't need to make sure game ready models have just quads. You can include a few triangles for optimisation, so long as you keep the flow clean. If you're making a high poly model, then yeah you don't generally want any triangles.

 

Anyways, I said tris because the game deals with tris.

[minilogoguy18]

Just take like the basic Softimage low poly man model primitive and model armor over it, that's what I'd do. A clone model would be so crazy easy but I'd feel like I'm beating a dead horse since there's already so many out there and I'm not much of a fan of the prequels.

[JAWSFreelao]

But since we're all making a new clone model, I presume we'll also be making a pauldron?

Yes of course.

[Tempust85]

If you want to use parts of my Stormtrooper for anything, you're more than welcome to it. I doubt you would need it, but giving you the ok anyways.

[AshuraDX]

I'd say I'll get started a a simple basemesh once I'M done with my exams for this yer (about 2.5 weeks)

[Barricade24]

It is finally happening after all these years...*sniff*

[JAWSFreelao]

Will this be a clone based off of the movies, or off of The Clone Wars animated television show?

[Tempust85]

I sure hope the movies.

[Barricade24]

I agree with @@DT85 a realistic clone would be better, besides, animated style clones can easily be adapted to the realistic style one.

[JAWSFreelao]

Bump.. Did this thought process ever get off the ground in terms of development?
