That was what I had im mind. The main Problem I have, is that modeling Clones is fairly boring. You keep modeling very similiar shapes over and over again.

That one has the Helmet of an Imperial Scout trooper, right? If the entire body changes I won't commit to that, just as I won't do the Clone Commander from Battlefront 2

while I'm not exactly a fan of that trooper design, I do like it more than the First Order stormtrooper armor - mainly because it doesn't look like it was designed by Apple.

especially in the crouched walk cycle that rotation seems too limtied to the upper half of his upper body, it should start slighly below

Gorcs core seems very stiff during your walk cycles, a slight rotation during each step might fix that. EDIT: I also jsut noticed, that you did not weight the cloth flaps to individual bones, why not do that when you're allready making a custom rig and animations?

@@LucyTheAlien without any mods you get that exact same error as soon as you shoot the at-st?

@@LucyTheAlien I'd expect the combination of Ultimate weapons and @@minilogoguy18's AT-ST to be the cause

if you ever get around to trieing out substance let me know.

Psst! Don't tell anyone, but you can also handpaint PBR maps Unless you use DDO or limit yourself to using premade materials in substance you won't be clicking a lot of boxes. Just instead of painting a diffuse, specular and gloss map, you'd paint a albedo,metal- and roughness map. Albedo is pretty much your Diffuse without light information, Metalness is a metallic mask (white=metal, black=dialectric materials) and Roughness is just inverted gloss. The Problem is that JKA won't offer the required shader support to make that look good, without processing these maps into diffuse and spec maps tailored to idtech3 standards. A process that I partially automated with a custom procedural Material.

Wh not merge efforts with JK: Enhanced? @@redsaurus @@NAB622

@@JAWSFreelao yeah just the model and all the base textures you guys paint over I will make accessories, if you ever took a look at the clone variants in star wars battlefront 2 you know which ones exactly, I might do a few beyond those but I'M really not gonig to model every tiny accessoire seen in the clone wars series.

@@Newmodder First of all: Wlcome to the Hub! The Plan is to finish the clone variants seen in Star Wars Battlefront 2 before pushing for a V2 release, the model was made to look as realistic as possible in JKA and if you think it does indeed look realistic it seems I have achieved what I was going for. Thing is I have to be in the mood to work on models and have to be concentrated to get statisfieing results (I'm very picky about my own work), just thew few new ref pics I collected since I last showed progress made me feel like starting over on the new "Airborne" Helmet variant since I keep discovering more and more inaccuracies the longer I look at it.

That is indeed wierd, can gmax export to any format other than it's own? I'd like to investigate on that mesh.

lol. did you see what I started with?

@@Jolly With the time I put into a model - yes it would be way over 20 dollars

@@Barricade24 sure, just send it lol

@@Barricade24 this was the only reference for the backside I had

@@JAWSFreelao this is a rather rough draft version of the mesh. I have a lot of finetuning work to do just about everywhere EDIT: gonna leave it at this for a day or two to get some feedback on the shape before I finalise it. I am aware of the bumps in the lower "collar" around the helmet, gonna fix those near the end.

more progress!

Progress! Started the Helmet of my Favorite Star Wars Battlefront 2 Class!

replace the roll with a sidestep

@@minilogoguy18 I think his hips could go a bit lower atm he stretches his leg a little too much when he places his foot down on the floor in front of him which makes it look kinda awkward.

@@ooeJack You could do what I do and bae a worldspace normal map, then use that to prelight the model. Green Channel is overlayed at roughly ~70% Opacity and the Blue Channel is Multiplied with ~30% Opacity. I also overlay a curvature map and multiply AO on top. Here's what that gives you on a flat Color:

This is odd, what did you save that png with? Bitdepth? Compression? Interlaced? I had crashes with npgs before, it was because I used 48 bit Pngs instead of 24 bit
