It's interesting that all these software -- used to accomplish very similar tasks -- have so different a user experience.

I'm mostly hotkeys, it's how I use Softimage

True, Blender is confusing for menu people. There are many things I don't know how to find only with the mouse, but which I can find in a hotkey menu.

I think the board ditched your answer, Ping. Just know it wasn't me...

I accidentally removed it. It said that I know what you are talking about but that I haven't had the chance to watch the reviews and that I might do so at some point.

Here's the link for ref.: http://cinemassacre.com/2009/02/28/star-wars-movie-review-part-1/

 

And here's the page with all his genuine movie reviews: http://cinemassacre.com/category/moviereviewsatoz/

 

And no, it's not because I'm a raving fan that I know this. Not one bit.

Call me sentimental, but I'm glad it's finally complete.

Enjoy the praise.

Hahaha, thanks, but I'm mostly just glad that it worked out in the end. I know it's not perfect, and it'll never be, but at least it's worthy of representing Ahsoka's character in this game, and now I can finally continue modding for JKA.

...I'm also hoping that rend2 will eventually support animated wrinkle maps (@Xycaleth, please).

Elite Force 2 does a better job at facial animations for the last game with idtech3

Elite Force 2 is on (basically) a different engine. It's id Tech but heavily modified.

Hahahaha! You don't wanna know! XD

Why?)

Because it could land her in prison.

The dark side of the force is a path way to many new trilogies... that some consider to be unnatural...

You can't win, Darth. If you strike my beloved story down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

Mesa clumsy

What I did like about the old games, is that the developers had limits but still they were creative. Every detail in level design has sort of duplicity of perception: you are open to treat them the way you like. E.g. in DF2 Nar Shaddaa is not just a city level, but also includes a staship section, as well as cargo transport at the distance.

I mean we've had plenty of good ones, Dark Forces and KOTOR are some of the few examples of great ones

The scale would probably be

Great

Good

Alright

Bad

Terrible

NO NO NO

DIE BART DIE

why this nigga need a hammer to get high?

Nah jk.

Maybe something using a Jocasta Nu and retrieving something for her from- just as an example- the Coruscant Underworld?

Do we have a Jocasta Nu character model for JKA? I didn't find any.

Heh. Check my thread.

I would say, that what happened in Season 5 finale (my favorite) in no way neglects TFA and vice versa.

Seeing as the other two episodes have yet to be released, and due to the fact that I don't watch much on TV anymore, I really don't have an answer to that. :/

Hahaha! An honest answer is a good answer.

 

Saw it in the cinemas. Didn't think much of it. I didn't go in with high expectations, and the movie didn't disappoint, but didn't thrill either. I have concerns as to how the story will further develop in the sequels, and serious doubts that it will top The Clone Wars experience. The characters were more thought out than in the prequel movies, though, so that's a plus.

Eesh... >.<' Don't go so dark on us, Onysfx. There is still beauty in this world, and there always will be.

That's why I'm still alive .

Know that you are loved, and you have the power to make a difference in this world. You've already made a difference to me. <3

Ahhh, that's making it sound sad... >.<'

 

Yeah... I don't know what will become of things, but I'm quite certain Star Wars is about to take a plunge into dark, murky, slimy waters... where the garbage tentacle monster lives. XD

And we thought much of the EU was bad... Wait till you see this onslaught of new Star Wars movies coming... Things are about to get nasty, and don't tell Luke, but I have a bad feeling about this.

Like... a *really* bad feeling... And it starts this December...

Thanks, if I really get stuck, I'll take you up on that. Asgarath is kindly helping me learn the process with 3DS Max at the moment. I have a pretty complicated human-like model, so it's not going to be easy...

the clsoer to a human it is the easier it will be to rig (atleast to the humanoid skeleton)

Oh, that's good. But I'll need to rig the face, too. We'll see... I expect a challenge.

I'm just going to wait to see an official trailer, then the movie. Those speculation videos are pretty annoying to watch.

Looks like the first teaser won't come until at least the end of February... :/ According to Kathleen Kennedy -- but then again, we know we can't trust *her*...

One of the previous teasers or trailers for one of the previous films was supposed to come in 2 weeks after early announcements. But as a result we saw it like a few days after the news...

I'm pretty sure all of us would like for this to just be some sort of twisted and sadistic stealth marketing campaign by Disney, and Carrie and her family are alright.

Y-yepp... The reason many people are affected is because her life's work stood for something -- and on that note it *still* stands! That, and we grew up with her portrayed characters, and her work.

 

My sincere condolences to her family. Her spirit will live on in her family, and in her work, and accomplishments.

...and her mom (Debbie Reynolds) died the next day from grief.

...I'm sure the marketing guys at Disney would not miss that opportunity.

Exactly, and also seeing how popular it was after seeing Maul use it, it became just as common as a single bladed hilt in the KOTOR and SWTOR era. And then the Inquisitors in Rebels. I think it would be ample time to see it in another film, especially in a main character.

Great point about the Inquisitors using it in Rebels. I missed that. Knowing this, I think we can count on it.

 

The action/fight is also more dynamic and visually appealing with a staff.

Alright, let's do it! But you have to wear a Darth Vader costume. You don't look serious enough.

Could I wear a mandalorian armor instead? I like it more.

Yep. Mandalorians are serious. And they squeak clearly, too.

Thanks. I really deserve a nice cold cocktail for this...

 

It's the hardest thing I've ever done on a computer. I'm not kidding.

It's only the fist time, colonel Adrian was not my first model so was hard but extremely. When i was rigging my first model, i've had a nice issue - when he did the saberthrow animation, his finger length extended a lot.

*hard but not extremely

I look at what Disney had done with the Marvel franchise and especially recently Captain America Civil War which did amazing! But when it comes to solely Star Wars before Disney bought it there really is no difference it's just another company that I can think of that is owned by another company Ex: Pepsi Cola owning Quaker Oats.

So true. It's the quality of the individual content produced, not the company. The true world-building then happens in the minds of the fans, how we all piece it together, what we accept, and what we reject. Bruce Lee had a great quote that actually relates to that:

"Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own."

#amIdoingitright

Maybe Ping is the Thing

UNLIMITED POWAH! For I am king!

We should get it up in Files. That's a great model.

If someone else could that'd be better. I hardly ever turn on my computer now days. If not I'll try to, if I don't forget.

Do it for Infinity Blade's honour if you can. Thanks Katanamaru.

And Blue Leader's X-Wing has malfunctioned beyond repair.

Is this in reference to a particular moron on this site?

More to ableist jerks in general. I was never one to point fingers at people... Sometimes I think I am too forgiving...

They're just teasing us with obvious similarities pretty clearly lol. I don't think I could ever get drunk enough to believe none of hundreds of Disney's employees in SW area never heard of Jedi Knight series kek.

Bah, I still prefer no contaminations from the new Canon. New characters, so that the old ones can rest in peace, their legend untouched.

Be happy. At least they won't ruin Kyle & Jan.

I'm concentrating on the ESB/Hoth outfit, as it seems most fitting for JKA combat purposes, but I'll leave the ANH outfit in as well (as a secret/hidden option).

@minilogoguy18 Thanks. I'm hoping I can use IB's work as a base, if I can import the whole rig into Blender, and export it into what's needed successfully. That'll definitely save some time, and there's no point completely redoing what's already been done. But if not, I'll have to redo the whole weighting from scratch.

Try out the weight painter, it's not as good as Softimage's weight paint tools but it's much faster than doing it manually.

No, I've watched many tutorials, but I've taken a mosaic approach now -- cutting and assembling a rough draft before painting the final textures. It's a pain in the butt, but it's the easiest way I could think of. I really want to finish this model already...

 

I imagine working with ZBrush is somewhat easier.

Or substance Painter which is what I use :

 

it takes some technical knowdledge to adapt the output PBR maps to JKA's old shader system

I used Pig Brain's tutorial when I did my head, but I guess the basic principles could apply to the rest of the body.
