Will do the next time I model from scratch.

One thing that's always bugged me about any Stormtrooper model in the game, be it base game model or newly created models.. They lack a certain level of sheen (or "shine") to the armour. There's only the odd coupla' models that have it, such as AshuraDX's Clone Trooper and Barricade24's OT Stormtrooper. But it's the little details like that, that really bring the model to life. Not to mention the added authenticity and model accuracy.

If you ask me? It's becauuse the light processing in the game isn't good enough to make adding it worth it.

ANYWAY, preview.

Found the model on Night Owl Forums. Textures are mine though.

JAWS,

 

I can't tell you how thrilled I am that you are working on Bo Katan. She is one of my favorite CW minor characters. Can't wait to see what you come up with!!

It also gives us new model of helmet for female mandalorians

[JAWSFreelao]

What's up guys? 

Been sidetracked and absentee lately but I have started working on a new Death Watch style Mandalorian to help out Tompa9's little DW project.

Mostly been modeling and texturing a new helmet, so. Not a whole lot to showcase yet, but.

[JAWSFreelao]

Upon popular demand, I present Rako Hardeen. Literally 90% of the credit goes to Jeff, I just added the helmet.

Also. Working on a TCW Stealth Clone pilot helmet, just to diversify my projects.

Running into a problem with the Stealth Pilot. Any suggestions?

[swegmaster]

The weighing might be a bit borked on the neck, I could probably fix it (and explain how I did).

Lemme add: works fine in modview and the textures are all good. Also the textures of the front sgow when viewing in normal 3d person view.

[Newmodder]

3 guesses from me,

 

1. either the normals are inverted

 

2. too high polygon count?

 

3. are they welded correctly?

1) Prolly the normals. I had a lot of trouble with them when I was making the actual helmet.

 

2) nope, all under 1K.

 

3) not quite sure what you mean.

the vertices of the problematic polygons

So in Blender, while making the helmet- trying to view it textured was a problem. I had to flip the normals individually

[Newmodder]

nice, so you fixed it?

I don't think so yet. I'm going to get out of bed in a few and give it a shot though.

First model from scratch brings out a lot of new interesting battles

[JAWSFreelao]

So it is the normals- using the "make normals consistent" option in blender isn't even working properly. Think I'll have to redo it.

[Kualan]

You say it looks fine in Modview? Could I have a screenshot to try and diagnose the issue?

No need my friend, I did some reconfiguring and am almost done fixing it. I have no idea what the hell happened but I manually flipped every normal after reimporting the file as a GLM.

Whatever I did fixed it, just going to take some ingame screens, make a few final tweaks, and be done.

[JAWSFreelao]

Thinking about releasing Bo Katan, if anyone is interested. 

Also about to start the blaster carbine version of the Death Watch pistol (showcased below).

[JAWSFreelao]

And as promised, here's the carbine.

[f4rat]

The carbine and the Death Watch mandalorian both look excellent JAWS! And yes I am definitely very interested in Bo Katan!
