JAWSFreelao Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 We need a new clone pauldron. With all respect to Neomarz and his creations, we'd benefit from a newer, more accurat clone pauldron. Link to comment
DT. Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 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. Onysfx likes this Link to comment

CaptainCrazy Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 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. therfiles and eezstreet like this Link to comment
DT. Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Overuse of tris, proportion inaccuracies & some UV stretching issues. But still, it's the only ones we have so can't complain too much. Link to comment
JAWSFreelao Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 That, and the pauldrons curve UP, but the current pauldron curves down. Link to comment
AshuraDX Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 well a new clone model could probably be done in collaboration if a couple of modelers got togetherI'd say if we can build a team of 3 modelers or so I'd we go for it Barricade24, Onysfx, Circa and 1 other like this Link to comment
Circa Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 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. Link to comment
CaptainCrazy Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Overuse of tris, proportion inaccuracies & some UV stretching issues. But still, it's the only ones we have so can't complain too much. 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 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 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. Link to comment

CaptainCrazy Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 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. Link to comment
JAWSFreelao Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 I like where this is going.. I have a helmet, already modeled and ready to go if you guys want it. Link to comment
DT. Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 You should get a base mesh going that everyone involved agrees on, then add armor to it. 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. 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. CaptainCrazy likes this Link to comment
minilogoguy18 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 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 Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 But since we're all making a new clone model, I presume we'll also be making a pauldron? Link to comment

DT. Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 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. Circa likes this Link to comment
AshuraDX Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 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) CaptainCrazy and DT. like this Link to comment

JAWSFreelao Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Will this be a clone based off of the movies, or off of The Clone Wars animated television show? Link to comment
DT. Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I sure hope the movies. eezstreet, Darth_Bothersome, Circa and 1 other like this Link to comment
Barricade24 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I agree with @@DT85 a realistic clone would be better, besides, animated style clones can easily be adapted to the realistic style one. Circa likes this Link to comment
JAWSFreelao Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Bump.. Did this thought process ever get off the ground in terms of development? Link to comment
