    Hahaha. It won't be texture. I thought about bringing it up last night cause I noticed the same thing but didn't want to rain on the parade. I guess I should mention it before he gets too far.

    Speaking of characters for this map, here's the update on the New Republic security droid being modeled by Phazzzer. Keep in mind this is currently higher poly/vert count than the finished Jedi Academy model will be. It's still a sort of WIP.

    Ohhh! I love your progress, your gameplan, and your opening for testers!

    This one was $250. The droid heads ranged from $100-150 depending on if we were re-using parts from previous models (r2 eyes, dome already there, etc). I don't drink, no one's going out to the movies or anything... Film making is my main hobby and so the investment seems worth it to me. It brings me joy imagining the different stories that I can tell even if I have to wait for the pandemic to be over to make the movies with my film group the way I'm used to doing. Here's a slight update with corrected proportions and the start on a little bit of the detail work. The 3D artist will also be taking on the GH-17 blaster on his own free will, so that's an added bonus. Keep in mind that we'll see higher poly/vertex count models in the progress compared to what will show up in Jedi Academy. It's part of what makes the textures look so good but still get it into an older game. I've encouraged the artist to share my commissions publicly because I'm sure there are more Star Wars fans than just in Jedi Academy, lol.

    Also, I should ask that the 3D artist took interest in asking about what kind of weapon the droid uses so I provided picture reference and links...

    The chopfields would be really, really cool for a duel map or something! I love the way you think, great inspiration.

    Here is the first update from Phazzzer, the 3D artist I commissioned on CGTrader. https://www.cgtrader.com/phazzzer Step 1: A rough draft first past for basic geometry (we're here at this point) Step 2: Correct proportions and add lots of detail Step 3: Use high detail to bake uv/textures Step 4: Reduce poly down to Jedi Academy limits Step 5: Hand the model over for conversion to exist in Jedi Academy Step 6: I'll make reskins and color variants for the lulz Step 7: Release!

    If you send me the sound files, I am assuming I can incorporate the taunts. I know the bitrate's very finicky but I've modified taunts before and had it work. I'm also going to pay the 3D artist for both models. We've got a good working relationship going and I want to be fair for the work they put in. The map already looks way better than most starting level attempts. It'll only get better with some input from the experts. A well optimized map with a fair layout like this can become the bread and butter for players for years to come!

    I absolutely love your approach to this! Fantastic. Reaching out with well researched questions, checking for the techniques to improve. It already is a beautiful map but it'll only get better from here! As for the security guard, I had a slight miscommunication with my 3d modeler that I commissioned. I asked for (and provided picture references) for the New Republic Security droid with an alternate head from a different droid, but he made the whole body of the other droid first. We switched gears to prioritize the security droid but we'll come out the other side with two new droid types instead of one, lol. Thanks for sharing your progress, you are astounding!

    Yeah! It is interesting how it sort of came towards T3 in the end. I guess that's a natural droid design as well. I gave the 3D modeler more free reign on this one and said "these are the pieces I want to incorporate" and it came out with that sort of hybrid feel. I'm really happy with it.

    Indeed. What inspired me to even start doing these droid projects was the variety and adaptability of the textures Helena had in her original pack. By keeping the body/legs mesh as they were, I could take my own spin on things and play around with new textures and lights and shaders and things but get the head mesh updated to look more accurate and reflect advances in techniques. I think it really made for a good blend and I couldn't have done it without the great efforts of Helena, Phazzzer and Jeff.

    It was really fun to sort of design my own Pykes but the credit goes to Phazzzer for creating the models based on my input. It turned out phenomenal.

    If you do, how about Ryo Vela? He's my main character from my films. That'd be a fun tribute!

    I commissioned a 3D model maker to create the droid so that it could be rigged into game, but I haven't heard anything in a couple weeks and have no progress pictures yet. It's the same artist I had create the heads for the different R-series astromechs and the Pyke Pack.
