  1. Started working the grip highpoly: ...because I accidentaly forgot to save my files to a secure partition, I lost my first file so it's kind of a fresh start but truly, I had that top done in 10-15 minutes so it's not too much of a loss, also, I found a great new reference which I'm using now:

      Ah. A nice little update. Awesome!

      yeah I managed to lower the vert count by almost 300 vertices and around that much faces as well and with changing the uv map to a bake-ready map and texturing it, this is what came out. I made a new windows instalation and got a completely new version of Substance Painter and I just needed a simple model to try it out. :P

  2. I made it shorter and fixed a few things but this is all for today. With Turbosmooth:
  3. References: Model so far: The base is slowly taking shape, which I'm going to transform and work on to create a highpoly model of the blaster. @@Barricade24 This will take me some time since I'm not free a lot during the week!
  4. Depends, @zefilus is my Director of Concept Management. No seriously, I'm just saying "yes" or "no" to the concepts, actually I'm interested in this question as well @@therfiles ! In a certain aspect, we could tribute the last open position in the singles to a saber that kinda resembles Kylo Ren's, but, I read a bit about him. He hasn't got a "3 bladed saber" per se, more like two "venting-emitters" which need to let out the additional unneeded energy because he's using a cracked lightsaber crystal - which is also why the blade looks unstable! So, we need to keep this in mind! EDIT: Gosh I can't link zefilus in on this because of his wierd F -.-
  5. @@ensiform Yes the idea for my weapons back in april 2014 was exactly for it to be used in JK:Enhanced which means they will have vanilla game AND JK:Enhanced support! Which is also why this topic is inside the JK:Enhanced category (or section)!
  6. A BIG shoutout to everyone, please read the first post in this topic: https://jkhub.org/topic/7465-weaponshd-guns-and-lightsabers/

      At least the last line, where I ask everyone to keep returning to the topic, discuss things with me and help me create the shape of my packs. It's gotta be good for everyone and more eyes see more things! ;)

  7. This first post will be updated throughout my process with model showcases from Sketchfab and possibly some new informations with time! The old one and the SabersHD joint plan with AshuraDX won't really happen. He's commenting on my work throughout it all but other than that, I'm working alone now and should be able to complete this by myself! The WeaponsHD Project By Rooxon ...and this time, for real! Last post update: November 12th 2016 ​Concepts for Singles pack now finalized! You all know me well by now so let's cut to the chase right away. I'm a freelance model and texture artist who joined you two years ago. Being completely silent for the past year, I was actually learning how to wrestle with life - the hardest thing we all gotta learn eventually. But things have calmed down a bit now and I'm finding more and more motivation I'd like to spend with modeling for this community! So, I kinda look at my old models and even though some deem them good, I see only rubbish. That's why I will restart the project and complete it with careful thinking and endless restarted routines if I'll have to. Nothing less then the best is acceptable from now on! CAUSE JKA DESERVES NO LESS THAN THIS, HECK YEAH! *calms down* So, the plan stays roughly the same with the addition that I'm gonna solve our problem and just recreate ALL WEAPONS IN GAME! Sabers + Guns included! Plans/Already done: (Please keep in mind I might not be doing my packs in the order written here! I'm really thrilled about seeing new guns already.) - Update to the HD Lightsaber Blades DONE - The Outcast (Kyle's Lightsaber) DONE - The Stinger (Reborn Lightsaber) DONE - The Prodigal Son (Luke's Lightsaber) DONE - The Sith Pack (Tavion's, Alora's, Rosh's and Desann's lightsabers + Sith Sword and Scepter) DONE - Single Lightsabers - Staff Lightsabers - Throwables pack - Guns pack Sketchfab showcase: Kyle's saber Lowpoly by Rooxon on Sketchfab Reborn lightsaber lowpoly by Rooxon on Sketchfab Luke's Lightsaber Lowpoly by Rooxon on Sketchfab Veteran Lightsaber Lowpoly by Rooxon on Sketchfab Additional concepts section: So as some of you might remember, I had an idea to expand the original selection of hilts up to 15 singles and 15 staff hilts. Zefilus was creating the concepts for me by himself back then and we got into contact once more; Hopefully, he'll keep helping me out. But there was already a few VERY nice concepts chosen to be made from back then, so I'll post them all here and we can talk about them whether they still fit in or whether they should be replaced with better ones.

  8. @@AshuraDX If people could get an orgasm from looking at models, I'd totally have one right now!
  9. Very nice, this will stay in my Base folder!
  10. I will have to use this certain name, since these packs now are gonna be the expanded ones. This means I'm making that idea coming true about offering 15 single saber hilts and 15 staff hilts instead of 9 and 5 respectively, like in the vanilla game.
  11. This was just an old, uncompleted mod. I completed it now, but it will be included&featured in the Single Lightsabers pack which will come in some time.

    Veteran Lightsaber Lowpoly by Rooxon on Sketchfab INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Copy and paste the r_whd_veteran.pk3 from this zip file to your "base" folder, the default path is "C:/Program Files/Lucas Arts/Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy/Game data/Base" If you want this hilt to be availible in Single Player and replace the first lightsaber hilt, copy over the r_whd_veteran_sp.pk3 file as well! DESCRIPTION: The Veteran, a completely new and modern lightsaber design by Zefilus. Some kind of a teaser hilt mod for my Single sabers pack from my WeaponsHD Project. New, pretty high-poly model with new textures! - Baked in xNormal - Textured in Substance Painter and Adobe Photoshop - Modeled in 3D Studio Max 2016 Comes with shader support. If you want to play with it in SP without the additional pk3, open up your console, enable cheats with "helpusobi 1" then type "saber single_10" and there you go!

  13. But of course, I'm sorry if I said anything too harsh. I'd love to see a JKHub tournament one day!
  14. Wow, this is some seriously fascinating stuff written in here. I used to try and prove dual sabers could also be good. These past few weeks I found out a single saber might be better.. but still. I like to be different. A shame JKA Multiplayer is more or less dead now.
  15. Lowered the resolution to 1k (1024x1024px) for the 1.1 version, I drew additional texture specifics to the texture, added the bent normal map trick, fixed my layer stacking and re-did the bakes. After which I took some more time to fix up the diffuse and specular maps completely. Now the texture looks nicer but nothing like the faulty one from 1.0! Did the same for The Outcast with some additional model tweaking to lower the face count a bit!
  16. Whew, finally done submitting updates for two of my latest hilts, mainly texture fixes. Now I got three hilts and an update to my HD Lightsaber Blades. Now I'll be silent for some time...

      A bit slow at the moment but fine nevertheless, thank you :)

  17. True, I have never even seen this saber before I knew there were differences but wow.
  18. I can get you a menu editor and a texturer (me). AshuraDX is far better than me at this point but I'm trying my best as well!
  19. What should I do next: requests or continue my project?

      Then what are porters?

    3. Rooxon

      Rooxon

      You got me there. Well, let's just say that I never like to use someone else's work. People who port things are usually quite good in what they're doing and they need to model or texture sometimes so yeah, I can't say that it's for amateurs or anything, cause it's not.

    4. Bek

      Bek

      Well yeah, but you could argue that it's creativity that separates an artist from a machine. Porting a model into another game would be just as artistic as making a original model with fresh textures, me thinks. I think we the reason we praise modelers over porters is because it's much easier to port a model into a game, then create one from scratch. But I think we all need to keep in mind that there's no artistic scale. Both are equal, artistically.

  20. Please, go to my topic discussion. For now, you can find all the info about my project in the first post, as well as the fact, that i'm doing literally recreations of the game's original models. To give you a better example, this is my reference: About your ideas: with the new movies coming out, I may update this with additional texture options or even model and texture variations, old&new movies alike. My decision will also depend on whether people want this or not.
  21. Of course I CAN but if I will is another story... I'll need to check JKHub a bit, if I see a good version already, I probably won't take my time as I really wanna fulfill requested wishes and my own project.
