dark_apprentice Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Requesting real functional BB-8 droid from The Force Awakens, episode 7 of upcoming Star Wars movie.I have requested this droid once, but nothing happened. Also i am familiar with the thread of some person over here who happen to made and show us some pictures of this droid, but it was never released. So let the modeling BEGIN.Even if it's simple based on R2D2's npc just make it happen.
dark_apprentice Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 it is hard to create 2 balls and cover them in textures?! WOW
MagSul Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I could have sworn someone made a model for that.
AshuraDX Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 @@MagSul yes but it was abandoned due to work heres the old WIP thread http://jkhub.org/topic/4950-balldroid-anyone/?hl=droid&do=findComment&comment=72993 dark_apprentice likes this
dark_apprentice Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 And that is why, I have re-requested again, since with my first request for BB-8 nothing happened and we were waiting something new over the Ball-Droid WIP Thread. But since i assume it won't come out from there, I made a new request hopefully some one...Else would spend time creating BB-8 for JKA and giving it even a small function as what R2D2 has as NPC and even if it's not rolling big deal.
Bek Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Making a custom .glm is going to be hard for this one. dark_apprentice likes this
Asgarath83 Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Animations is the biggest trouble with this model
z3filus Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Hello guys !Sorry for the inexistant news but you know... I've got a lot of work and If someone want to include BB-8 in JKJA, I can send him the files. Kualan and ZanderNao like this

dark_apprentice Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 Why don't YOU make this then, if it were THAT EASY? Animating this would be a pain.Because of a who knows how many time, i am a SOUND ENGINEER and all my time GOES over music projects, albums and my personal band. In the free time i try to make some texture edits and freaky Frankensteins on Blender, that every kid at age 5 can do. If i was ABLE to do it myself, WOULD I ask a request for this in here?!? There are lots of good artists in here, who are much better in their knowledge with Blender, 3D Studio Max, Maya etc. and even people with more or less free time and skills, who are able to crate this model for about 3-5 days or something like that or ok let's say it for about 3 weeks. I don't ask for a ROLLING droid, I asked for just the model with same functions and moves as the one from R2-D2. I can assume that making a real ball droid with the bigger ball rolling whenever he moves will be pain in the ass, but that's why i requested just the model with R2D2's npc and movements. z3filus likes this

ZanderNao Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 I was sad that other progress thread dropped off the map, but I understand life and stuff. Good to see the offer to share materials and progress to bring this to a reality. The one thing I've learned about this community is that more often than not people will take the time to make something the right way so when it finally is released, it's beautiful.

ZanderNao Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 If anyone needs better close up detail on BB-8, they released a video of his live-action model that has some extreme close ups for great reference:https://youtu.be/A_K10fX9DSY?t=27s
NumberWan Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 The toy will be released very soon. So probably we will have a better look then. But I like the preliminary variant of the model. Also there is a small article about BB-8 at SWU with a link to the blog about it.
