EPVII Luke Skywalker

[Tempust85]

I've tried, but I can never get it bang on.

[dark_apprentice]

How's the cybernetic arm going on

[Tempust85]

Haven't really touched the hands yet, but it looks like fun to make lol.

[minilogoguy18]

Do we even know for sure that that's Luke's hand we're seeing in the trailer?

[Tempust85]

That toy has a robotic hand, so I'm guessing it's his. But, I'll leave it until we actually see Luke's hands.

@@DT85 so we can assume this model around TFA's release?

@@minilogoguy18 if you look few pages back on this topic, you may see a photo posted by @ with a robotic hand (perhaps the one of Luke himself), holding a note from J.J.

I'll repost just in case.

I love this project, the head looks awesome so far .

 

Anyway, I have a question. What's the way you made a beard? And if you could translate it to noobish, that would be perfect . I was trying to make a beard in 3dsmax for a long time now, and I can never get anything cool-looking. Maybe you can recommend any tutorial? I'm really new in modeling, but I'm willing to learn.

[Tempust85]

The beard is textured on (photo-sourced in photoshop), with alpha planes (little squares with transparent hair texture) scattered across the head mesh where the beard is textured to give more "fluff". You can either manually clone & move the alpha planes where you want them or use Max's object paint. I used object paint, then went around tweaking. It's my first time doing this, so I'm not a pro but practice makes perfect. Just a note though, you really can't notice the alpha planes in-game unless you're upclose.

 

About the hand. What minilogoguy meant was we don't know that it's Luke's robotic hand. The only evidence we have is of that Luke toy. I strongly suspect it's Luke's hand but still, no way to be 100% sure.

[Veosar]

Oh, it's a texture? I thought it's seperate mesh, because it looks three dimensional. Thanks for the answer though

[Tempust85]

If you want to make a beard and don't care about getting it in a game, use the hair & fur modifier.

[NumberWan]

I still wonder about the hair/fur shader in JA. When we see Chewie on tatooine – it works just fine. But in foggy environment the shader acts strangely. I haven't tried to figure that out yet, but what does effect that? Luke has the beard, so it might look strange in fog.

[Tempust85]

Well there's no actual hair/fur shader for JKA, it's just a generic transparent shader. Modern games do have specific hair/fur shaders though, just goes to show how archaic this game really is.

[Veosar]

Well, I care a lot about getting it into the game . JK3 is where I would use it. Not sure how to make beard for it though... I'll keep trying

[Tempust85]

Well I felt like working a bit on this today:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Highpoly body for Zbrush.

I love it! The only thing for me is if you were to make a hoodless version then the back of the hair could use some tweaks..

 

I tried to get some references of the back of his hair:

 

 

 

 

It's not easy to get a full back of head reference..

 

However while looking for references I did come across this:

 

 

Zbrush sculpts of both Old Han Solo and Old Luke.

Dat source I posted

 

Should really get in contact with that modeller to join JKHub..

[Tempust85]

So no one's interested in my work now since they've seen a pro artist's work? That's cool, I can easily can this project.

Motivation should come from yourself, your work is amazing, and has more application. You won't see that other luke model imported into JKA.

Your work is the best, it's a wild fantasy to have graphics THAT good in JKA, which of course would never happen, but your work is among the best so never give up!

[dark_apprentice]

i would be very disappointed if you stop now
