@@Barricade24 I'm sure I could make room for it, but it's a tedious process seeing that it is aligned exactly like the other, just rotated 180°, working with it shouldn't be a problem.

Updated: new texture sheets: http://imgur.com/a/2Qj8M @@Barricade24 whatcha say? better?

pretty much that, but I'd not recommend erasing - instead use masks/alpha channels for this

Texture resolution is about the same as the old low res model The armor straps on his shoulders have been left unmodeled, I can add them back in if you want them though

So I plan to create a 2 layer helmet this time, you'll basically have a copy of the mhelmets front faces pushed in a tiny tiny bit. So by using an alpha map/transparency on the main helmet texture you can reveal any shape of visor you want - without sacrificing looks for the visor

@ In don't use blender so I can't tell for sure what went wrong, but what i'd try is select everything and then export the modle again, maybe you had only a part of the model selected and blender only exported that piece.

he's unwrapped and I did a "first" bake: 2k - entire Body 1k - Helmet 512 - Hands I still want to change a few things on the body layout, this is your chance for feedback/requests on these new layouts @@Barricade24 @@JAWSFreelao @@yeyo JK

@@Langerd sure! You're free to use all of my stuff, told you that before

new lowpoly is done. a fair bit lower than the old one, gives me some space for accessoires, but first on to UV unwrapping

@@Barricade24 Your line is skewed in relation to the UV shell The UV shell is slightly rotated, I can fix that easily. I expected something different

LODs didn't help me, I had a reduction to 25% vertex count on the lowest of my LODs scrolling back and reading thorugh this thread would also have revealed that

run back a few pages and you'll see

can you show an example for this line problem? I'll unwrap the shoulder pad differently then but I I'm afraid there is no "perfect" way to make it work, you'll either get cuts in the unwrap which you'd have to deal with or funny distortion - to me neither of them is a problem since I paint in 3d space straight onto the model. I can do that for the belt packs I'm not going to deal with accessory requests just yet, this version of the clnoe model will be "exactly" what I released before, just far more optimized with less room for clipping

Clone skinners assemble! @@Barricade24 @@JAWSFreelao I started remodeling the game model for my clone. This will result in different UV maps. I'm doing this to decrease the strain it put on the game engine which will in turn give me a budget for Accessories and other Helmets. This is your chance to suggest any wishes you had for changes on my model.

@@Jeff I'd recommend starting with some simple weapons try a few light sabers for example, maybe remodel your favorite jka hilt

not shader related, just horrible weighting work I guess

Damn Han got a nasty sunburn it seems

Substance does that quick and reliable for me, even in a non destructive matter. I can simply update one of the 2 maps and it will autoupdate the combined one.

Still too many, especially considering that i's missing hard edges and has to be unwrapped for texturing. I'd assume it to go up to 4.2-4.8k vertices All in all vit's not bad for a first model though

way too many sides for JKA, redo it with a 12 sided cylinder at max!

not the new ones though
