Yeah and if I remember right you use a Mac *shudders* which may not work out so well for you since I don't believe there is a Mac version of the software. Don't think there are even mac versions of the tools needed to compile models and animations, unless someone has made them recently.

 

Besides, using Softimage is the most sure fire way to get models and animations into the game without issues as long as you're doing it right.

I have 2 different VMs running Windows 7 and XP. Don't worry about me.

Macs are so unappreciated on this site. It's crazy. People usually say that stuff because they've never used one.

Haps Stormtrooper is a rebuild of the base JO Stormtrooper by Raven, he edited the model and repainted it which is why the texture sheet layouts are almost identical to Raven's. My Stormtrooper has a higher than usual triangle count and is the ROTJ armor.

 

It's posted here because it's for Chalk's project so he has a 100% user-made Stormtrooper.

 

 

About the lens:

 

Then lens are black and only shine dark green when the light hits them.

^Might start tonight, I'll probably separate it into multiple videos so that I don't have to worry about F'in something up.

 

1-Posing/fitting to skeleton and setting up groups

2-Enveloping model (wont be start to finish, that would be super long, just showing my way of getting a good envelope in good time)

3-Segmenting, hierarchy and caps (yes caps, they're stupid easy to make you should be ashamed if you skip them)

4-Finalizing, compile and test in Mod View/game

5-Bonus video to be made at a later time LOD's (yes it's best to do them last since you can just copy/paste the weight maps from the highrez model)

 

Should be all of it. You'll still need basic knowledge of the software, you wont be able to just watch the videos and toss a model in game right away so get to studying.

Agreed, your sig is sweet. Welcome! I look forward to seeing your future maps! Feel free to start a thread in the WIP section and show us your progress.

Now that there seems to be some interest in a few threads I'll try to get around to recording the video, it's already got the scene files ready and planned out, just need a day where the house is empty and quiet to record.

Wytch is an active MB2 dev, so you should have no issue finding him there.

To be honest, I don't need it anymore. I contacted Tyrael himself and he gave it to me. I'm waiting for his permission to upload it here cuz it's not fair that I'm the only one to enjoy it.

I spent all day yesterday working on the effects for the Geonosian gun. It's going to replace the DEMP2 gun but I don't think there's a way to change the electricity portion of the gun. So it'll look silly, but oh well. I don't think I'll be getting a Geonosian model anyway, so the only time it will be used is on droids for the most part, and they'd probably spark up like that when hit anyway. I did my best at created the effects for the projectile and muzzle flash for the gun. I'm awful at editing effects so I guess it's pretty decent.

LOL

 

I'm going to have to make a Hoth cave mission...that would be so epic.

From the perspective of the Wampa on the Hoth2 mission from SP. Jaden walks into cave and that doesn't make Wampa too happy.

Not that I'm complaining about this model at all, it look amazing, but what was wrong with Haps' model?

@@hhunter6

so should i upload it to the site?

Yes.

It's up, .

That's pretty cool! The first video looked a lot like normal JA though.

Either way...still doesn't change the fact that part of my Mara skin looks sadly amateur and I wanted a caped variant.

What cape would you want it to have?

Is this what you're after @@Dakadaka ?

 

 

 

Tried to capture the look of Mara Jade with what I have to work with. I take credit only for vert moving, UVW adjustments, texture tweaks and mish-mashing two models lolo.

Now that's Mara Jade! DT's done it again.

I think he wanted the hair to be more brown with a reddish tint though.

Well if anyone there is anyone out there who is willing to take on such a task. I'd be happy to supply list of all the equipment to make a Clone model shine.

 

If only Haps had released his...

Agreed...

I can't stand Mars' models (assuming that's what Clone model we're talking about). I never could, even when he was considered the best.

^ Plo Koon's pic

The Ravensoft texture towards the top of the head looks like fish scales to me, or exposed brain or something like that. Plo Koon's head doesn't have that kind of scaley-ish/brain stuff on his head, instead he has ... I can't even describe it. It's just different. Compare it with the SS taken of the robed Kel'Dor and you'll see what I mean

 

Plus, Plo Koon's little.. fin thingies? Whatever, they're a little lighter than the Ravensoft texture

Isn't it close enough though? Those are small differences. Small enough to make it work. And too small for someone to not be willing to take this request on, unless they are wanting the same thing.

Forget it.

No need to be hostile. Maybe someone will agree with you and attempt to do this. There aren't many modelers here though.

The head is exactly like Plo Koon. Do you just want this in the menu?

Agreed, I saw that in the Wookieepedia page and it made those things look so much more BA.

If he uploaded it here, then you have to wait for it to be approved by a staff member.

Alright, so I messaged him. I'm not expecting a reply, so if anyone wants to model a Geonosian, that would be awesome. There are only 3 modelers here that usually fulfill requests, so if @ChalklYne, @DT85, or @AshuraDX want to take a stab at it if they want and have time, that would be awesome. If not, that's not a big deal. Also, if I get a Geonosian, I want to replace the DEMP2 with the Geonosian carbine. There's this one that was made on JK2Files but the skin is horrible and apparently has a lot of issues with it. If someone could either take that one and fix it up, or make a new one completely (effects would be a bonus), that would be the icing on the cake. I have the sound for the gun, so don't worry about all that.

Nevermind on the gun. There's one in MBII. I'll have to check that one out.

I found one that is the Tyrion model and one that I'm pretty sure is the Hapslash one. I didn't make an npc to try it out, but the textures were high quality. I'll upload it tomorrow.

Reference photo would be helpful for anyone considering your request. I don't even know what they are and that means many others won't either.

I was going to guess Oblivion or Skyrim as soon as I saw the first picture. Very nice work! I'm impressed.
