K-2SO Request

[KyleKatarn1995]

I'm surprised no one's ever done this one before, has anyone ever feel like porting a K-2SO model to Jedi Academy? In case you want to know, K-2SO was a tall security droid that once worked for the Imperials until when Cassian Andor reprogrammed him to stick more with the Rebel Alliance. Anyways, I haven't found any 3d models of K-2SO except there was a printable model which that won't do. Unless if a few JKA parts would do for K-2SO.

The movie came out literally last week...lol.

 

No need to make it K-2S0 specific though as it could serve as any imperial droid if someone does want to make it.

If it's a zbrush model it's likely not going to be game ready at all.

The Polycount will blow the roof.

@@AshuraDX... most assuredly. Someone will have to decimate it and convert it to another format (OBJ).

Blender can import .ztl as well as decimate it.

Decimate is such a scary term, but it makes sense. Good luck to all that take up this challenge.

[Beyond Heretic]

It'll probably be done at some point considering how popular the movie is. The only question is when

[KyleKatarn1995]

Good news guys, it seems like I found a model of K-2SO from the Force Arena game. Wonder if we'll use this one?

@@KyleKatarn1995 I would not use this Model for JKA at all.

 

it's actually far too lowpoly to look good in JKA and the texture resolution is a joke at 256x256. Could fit into Empire at War though.

 

he'd also need a custom skeleton and custom animations as he doesn't fit the generic humanoid skeleton from JKA:

 

you could probably lengthen his torso while shortening his arms and legs to make him work, but that'd be a substantial change to his proportions and just wouldn't look right.

[Lancelot]

I agree. The model just doesn't look right for Jedi Academy, in many ways. It's another example that proves why models like this one should be done from scratch rather than ported.

K2SO is the Slenderman of Star Wars xd

Best you can get is K2 as a map object.

[Archangel35757]

K2 should be an NPC with his own skeleton... imo.
