Daedra Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 I have this model it is ready to be rigged and put into JKA. All that it needs is someone to do this. I can't as I have no idea how to, and I could not give it the love it deserves. Just so people know.. I would like the HEAD frankensteining onto a regular Luke body so it looks something like this: After it's frankensteined I will re-texture the head. yeyo JK, Merek and Smoo like this
Tempust85 Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Would need normal maps baked into the diffuse and the poly count lowered before even thinking of rigging it. Bek likes this

See I would have no idea about that! But if you get any spare time I would sure like you to consider this.. If I don't ask I may not recieve anything.
Mand'alor Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Please tell me that you also own the Count Dooku model. I'd love to see him in JKA

Circa Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 I think the models we have are the best we're gonna get for JKA. Toshi's Luke isn't perfect, but it's darn close. And Haps' Dooku is probably better than TFU's. Jeff, JAWSFreelao and Lancelot like this

Circa Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Not saying it can't be done. I just don't see the point in these cases. TheWhitePhoenix and eezstreet like this

Lancelot Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I think porting TFU models to Jedi Academy would be a bad idea. Let me explain it like this:Imagine you have a big project, no matter if it's a model or a skin. You put lots of time and effort into that project, share the progress with everyone and get good responses.But then BAM!, somebody else releases an already existing version of what you have intended, in higher quality and ported from another game. It gets a lot more attention for work thathas been practically made in notime (just porting and rigging), which is unfair considering that you've put days, if not weeks or months, to get your model right. I'm not completely against porting. I find it actually quite impressive that somebody can fit a very detailed model from another game into Jedi Academy.If it's done right and if every issue has been solved (by using some pieces of a model or by giving credit to the original author), I can't see any problem with that.And if a model hasn't been made yet and somebody wants a quicker solution, that's fine either. But I think it's unnecessary to port a model from another game whena model has been made already. Asgarath83 likes this

dark_apprentice Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Nope. As i have said many time and will repeat again and again, I can only make some really bad ugly frankensteins and re-textures, but not portings. I just happen to have all the TFU1, TFU2 and Battlefront-3 original models and some are ok to open with Blender, but don't know why they don't work with the textures they've got.
Jolly Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Personally I think Toshi's ROTJ Luke looks almost better then the model in TFU. Also if you did correctly port this model into JKA, Toshi's model will look over all better because it was put together for JKA. Just my opinion. Bek, Lancelot and JAWSFreelao like this
dark_apprentice Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 I cannot make ports from one game models into JKA models. Toshi's Luke will be the best one, until someone as good as DT is able to make a new one, that is as i personally say: HD model of new generation for JKA. (Like his Episode 7 Old Luke, who's still as W.I.P. but is already kick-ass amazing!) Lancelot likes this
Jolly Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 I think Toshi made a superb Luke model, probably one of the best Luke models created for any star wars game. I don't think it will need a replacement, at least for Jedi Academy.

Lancelot Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 I'm not looking for a replacement, i'm wanting a TFU version. With due respect, but your request is kinda contradictory. First, if I understood correctly, you were asking for a complete port of the model. A few posts later, you said that you actually wantedthe head frankensteined on another Luke model (you haven't mentioned that in your first post). And now you want a complete port again? I have to agree with @@Jolly and @@dark_apprentice, Toshi's Luke is the best version for JA, because it was exclusively made for it. A port of the Luke model would just be wrong, because it wouldn't look as good in JA asit does in TFU. Keep in mind that TFU has a more modern engine than JA has. The shading and lightning on the ported Luke would just look flat as JA is missing the ability to display both features realistically.

I would like the head of the TFU version frankensteined onto an already made Luke body and released as a TFU Version of luke (not a replacement of another Luke which I don't even care about). Why is that so hard to grasp? GPChannel likes this
Wasa Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 To be fair Toshi's Luke head looks closer to ROTJ than TFU does, if anything I'd change the clothes which can be done with re-texturing. Lancelot likes this

What don't you guys understand? I don't want it to look like ROTJ I want it to look like TFU Version. Why is everyone talking about Toshi's version I am not even interested in it.. this Thread isn't even about that model..

Daedra Posted November 8, 2015 Author Posted November 8, 2015 TFU Luke is supposed to look like the ROTJ Luke. Just for the record, I would prefer a version that looks more like he TFU version than the movie version. I really don't know what more to say. Arrow likes this
Arrow Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 i think it'd be cool to see, i'd love to see a tfu Luke whether the whole body is ported or just the head
