Kualan's Kitbash Workshop

[DrXann]

I see rodian hands on the Oppo model.By the way I like that Plo Koon model a lot.

[Bek]

Doesn't Oppo have a tail to move around?

[AshuraDX]

Doesn't Oppo have a tail to move around?

yes and 4 arms, these are the reasons why nobody tackled him before

Yeah like I mentioned in the post the legs are placeholders. I completely forgot he had four arms though, d'oh!!

[Kualan]

Also, is anyone able to enlighten me on a method to import jk2 models into Blender and combine them with jk3 ones?

[Veosar]

You must save your jk2 model as .blend and use append option (append->objects) on the scene you want it on. This will bring borrowed meshes to your model. It's not possible to import them both using one humanoid, tho.

Thanks for the tip, I tried this out but couldn't get the Jk2 meshes to appear in Blender still. Damn, I'll try again later maybe I missed something.

 

Here's a Photoshopped concept of what I hope to be the final result (minus retexturing of the tail):

@@Kualan how did you learn to import models into blender? I'm trying to do it, but no avail.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough. The process is a bit more complicated. So, if you want to be able to import JK2 models into Blender, you need to have them put like this: 

• Base
• Models
• Players
• _humanoid and YourModel folders

But in case of JK2 model, the _humanoid must be taken from JK2. What does it mean? In your case, you would have to save your current .blend scene, then go to your players folder, change _humanoid to the JK2 one, then open Hutt model in Blender, save it, once again change _humanoid folder, now from JK2 to JK3, open your original scene, and then append. 

 

I'm sorry if you know all of that and we're misunderstanding each other, I just want to help so if that's the case - just ignore the post . 

 

BTW, @

 

All you need to import .glm's into Blender is that amazing plugin suite by mrwonko: http://jkhub.org/files/file/1413-blender-264-jedi-academy-plugin-suite/.

 

Follow the instructions along with 'readme' and you will be just fine.

[Langerd]

Maybe with him somebody will use the trick like in the 4 armed grevious model

Aha! I didn't know about changing over the humanoid folders. I'll try again, thank you for the help!

 

And @ , after getting the plugins and viewing the readme I'd suggest looking at the answer for this thread here: http://jkhub.org/topic/4905-frankensteining-with-blender/

 

I had never used Blender before nor modded JKA beyond skinning and that post taught me everything I now know.

[Veosar]

Sure think, I'm glad I could help. I mean, I'm totally new to these things myself but I know a thing or two. If you came across some other issues, feel free to ask me.

[Kualan]

Success! Got the Hutt tail from the JK2 model and attached it to the JK3 body. Thank you again @@Veosar !

 

Final (I hope) concept for Master Rancisis:

 

 

 

[Śăļvõö]

In my opinion the tail should be longer like the jabba's one you put in the photoshopped image, otherwise it is too much short, since Oppo's tail is very longer than the one you made. But for the rest the model is very very good. I really like it

[BelugaArts]

Very nice! Been waiting to see one of these forever!

[Jeff]

I've been trying to figure this out but what did you use for Oppo's head?

[Kualan]

I've been trying to figure this out but what did you use for Oppo's head?

 

The head from the Darth Plagueis model, heavily reskinned. The hair meshes come from a range of models - Ki-Adi-Mundi for the beard, moustache and top-tail, a modified JKG Zabrak hairstyle for the 'ice-cream' bowlcut, a female Jedi hairpiece for the long bit at the back and the Bothan hair for the side-tails.

[Kualan]

An update on the Jedi Temple Guard, modified the hood and added a new lower robe. Getting close to a release for this one now.

 

 

 

 

And something that might please @Śăļvõö , a new Eeth Koth for the JK3 skeleton, in both robed and unrobed form:

 

 

 

[JAWSFreelao]

A new Koth has been needed for awhile. If you're interested, I suggest taking the arms from a clone (or Stormtrooper, for that matter) to create the TCW version. The only reason I point this out is due to my knowledge of your TCW fanboying.

[Śăļvõö]

Awesome Eeth Koth model  I'm very very happy     When are you going to publish it ?

 

PS: Please don't forget to add hood :

[Kualan]

Was playing around with @@Jeff 's Hondo kitbash earlier this evening, this is what I ended up with. Thinking of writing this guy into a future issue of TFTCW.:

 

 

 

 

Main changes are the helmet and goggles and a bit of texture modification on the torso and coat. Majority of the work remains Jeff's.

[z3filus]

totally looks like...

The final version of the Jedi Temple Guard has been submitted for approval:

 

[Milamber]

This might be kinda late and I haven't read the entire topic so correct me if I'm saying something wrong.

 

but aren't the eye-slits kinda far apart?
