  1. In an alternate universe: It would have been interesting to see The Clone Wars team treat Revenge of the Sith, and Anakin's transition to the Dark Side. I think it would have been a lot more mature, realistic, and engaging.

      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.

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

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

  3. It seems there's a big difference between what a European person and an American/Australian person considers personal respect.

  4. It seems these days every yuppie gets to make his own Star Wars film. Just because it's called Star Wars, doesn't mean it is Star Wars. Star Wars needs to be felt -- and that's one of the hardest things to pull off right -- something that apparently Disney seems completely clueless about.

      :) This wasn't an attack on fan films (that are made as such), or their creators. I was talking about mainstream, official Star Wars films. But you do have a good chance of getting it right two hundred times better than these creators if you induce a feeling in your audience, and manage to capture them (emotionally involve them) in the story. With all these crappy official movies coming out, the chance is big for a great fan film to shine its light now.

      I know what you speak about, but as artist i think it will be easier to share when it's done, not with words here..because with every day I work on it and on the music projects I understand the other side of view from behind the camera to the moment when u have to sell it to someone else and he might take it or not, but if he does it goes in other directions. Long words anyway I got your point and will be he happy to share in near future. But I personally have something special with Rogue...

      This type of discussion is really more suited for a full-fledged thread, not for a status post.

  5. It seems to me that Blender and 3DS Max are very similar in UI design. Perhaps Blender got its inspiration from one of the founding fathers of all 3D modeling software? Silo is a completely different user experience.

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

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

    3. Circa

      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.

    4. Cerez

      Cerez

      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.

  12. Jyn Erso?! Might as well be Jan Ors. In fact, why isn't it Jan Ors in her youth? That would have made it so much more interesting.

  13. Landing at Point Rain is one of the most in-depth looks into the realistic personal experience of partaking in a Star Wars battle -- the extreme challenges of the Clone Wars Jedi -- and Luke's father at his best.

      If Rogue One matches the hype, it may top that. Looks to be very 'real' and 'gritty' for its battle scenes.

      Just because you write wallpages, it doesn't mean you're right.

      Also if you think few quotes like that make a story mature, the Twilight trilogy as well can be utmost mature show, considering the show became darker than its first season.

      Notebene; I understand you're upset over canceling few seasons of TCW, because best things always eventually come to an end. You liked the show more than rebels? Fine by be, it's your opinion.

    3. Cerez

      Cerez

      Lucifer, this is my status message after all. Of course it is my opinion -- LOL! Being a fan, I am of course upset that TCW was cancelled, but what's bugging me is that I'm finding Rebels to be way beneath what I would expect from a Star Wars TV series targeted for all ages. And we have nothing else, now.

    4. minilogoguy18

      minilogoguy18

      It would be stupid for them to not consider rebooting TCW since it is officially cannon and it never finished itself out to end at the Battle over Coruscant like it should have. I didn't like the beginning of the show and the pilot movie was gayer than 2 dicks touching but the final few seasons were pretty good.

  20. Rigging: JKA 3D Engine: 5, Me: 4. It's still winning, and butchering my model in the process... More weight refinements to do...

  21. Skin shading in Photoshop is killing me... >.<' I'd take modelling over texturing anyday!

      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.

  22. So does The Force Awakens beat season 5 of The Clone Wars? I guess that's the ultimate question. ;)

      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. :/

    4. Cerez

      Cerez

      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.
