  1. It was accidental though, I was thinking it was my version of the model (I had the two obj files in separate directories which were named the exact same "untitled"). I again still stand by what I said. I'll get through this moment in time first (sickness). The future can always change. I was going to retire anyway, because Vaang was going to be my last mod, but I thought why not try out making a full model from scratch before quitting. I can always try it another time.
  2. Again I wasn't directly tracing. This is what I was doing basically: But digitally. I was using the original model for reference. I was trying to model my way for how I could understand it and learn, and not do it the way professional modders do it. Also I didn't try to claim the original as my own, I was trying to find a platform to give a 3D preview, but I uploaded the wrong obj model by accident, and I didn't notice until it was rudely pointed out. And I stick by what I said. If Ashura still wants to take this up he can, if not then cool. Perhaps in the future I'll go back to Vectary and try out some more things. For now I just want to get through this Flu & Infection and don't need extra drama for trying out something new. That is also why I was able to do it rather fast (to cover your intrigue), I didn't really sleep much, so I spent most if not all of the last 3 nights at least doing that without breaks.
  3. Is there a way to disable the idle animation by using code within the .npc file of a character? When the character stands still, looks left and right and twitches hands? That animation. Or alternatively is there an npc class that has this disabled?
  4. Should be a trailer at the Superbowl, and/or on GMA.
  5. No they wouldn't be the same, I did try to copy it as closely as possible, though there are still imperfections on the model and I don't think it's even the same scale as the original. Its my first attempt ever, but I've been blessed to get a lot of time to put into it. Well its hit and miss. Let's say I just made it without using the original model as a guide, that would be fine and hey that's some original art! That's good, but my intention is not to make an art piece, my intention is to make a model that resembles the source as much as humanly possible. It is probably a stretch, I can agree on that, but still.. it's like lightsaber hilts. Most, if not all of them are made from some form of reference, no? For example: It's not disrespectful to whoever designed Kanan's Lightsaber in SW Rebels that someone made an identical looking model for JKA, it's actually a nice homage. It's all about certain points of view. ----------------------------------------------------------------- On a different note: I'm just going to retire from modding. I'll leave this open as a request though and any other requests I have made. If Ashura still wants to do this model, don't let me stop that from happening, not going to be negative about that, in fact I encourage it! I've deleted the model I spent time on to create. The whole point of modding is to be motivated to do so, you need to have at the very least a bit of passion to do it and put effort into it, but all the negativity has lost my motivation entirely. I still have the soundpack for this though, so I'll just leave that here if you ever want to use it for this model or any other, I don't really care: http://www.mediafire.com/file/6eedes3y7s5227o/soundpack%28shot%29.zip This community isn't very good at all. The only good thing about it is actually getting new content which I do like, and of course, meeting a select few people who are super nice, but that's about it. And it's all about this "mentality" that's going around, I'm actually sick of it. This is a modding site for old SW game(s), if they aren't already abandonware by now. First you have the requests in general; someone makes a request and what do you see? "Do it yourself, learn how to do it." "This won't get done because nobody else wants this character in this old game." "Nobody would make this model from scratch since it does not interest them." I am tired of the negativity honestly. Requests are supposed to be positive, and if you can't help make the request real then why bother posting at all? Save your wasted time that you took to type that out. And let's say people actually listen to those negative advices (like I did) and actually attempted it themselves. Look at the negativity THAT also created! This is super motivational for people to actually learn how to mod.. NOT. Secondly is all this hot mess about ports. People are getting so obsessed over ports to the point that it just gets entirely blurred and it becomes easier to shout "PORT!! IT'S A DIRTY PORT!!! SHAME ON YOU!" rather than to actually appreciate that someone took the time to attempt to learn how to mod and take a stab at some creativity (however you see it). And there lies the flaw in the community. Case and point. And yes, I'm aware that to others this post may come across as whining, or that I'm just a crybaby. I'm none of those, if anything I'm simply tired of people double backing on their own words. It's pointless, all of it. You make a request, it gets ignored or you get rather negative responses with little to no actual help. Then taking on that request yourself and you get slandered even more. And this coming from the very people who PREFER if you make it yourself, even pride themselves on their crumbling words and beliefs of how they want others to mod. So far the only decent people I've actually seen in this thread is TheWhitePhoenix and Lord Of Hate, at least in regards to positivity and on topic. Decent users and people right there. I won't be making any more mods and I will not make any attempt to improve on the skills I learned from Vectary at this point in time, my motivation just isn't there, together with the Flu I've had, I guess I'm just not feeling up to it. Perhaps way in the future, if this community actually gets any better I may take it up again, learn some more skills and take another stab at making a model, if people here actually change for better and stop demonizing people who join and try to participate in this site. I've said my peace, that's all I have to say.
  6. I think you are misunderstanding what I did entirely. I made a side-by-side copy of the model, drawing the lines and extruding the faces doing 1:1 comparisons from the front, left, right, and bottom to get them looking as close to the original model topology as possible. Also thank you for pointing that out about the clara link. Totally missed that I uploaded the wrong obj model! That one I can admit to. Don't need to be so angry about it.
  7. Vectary. Lovely little site and I just followed the tutorials that it offered to get me a simple understanding of how the controls work.
  8. I have online backups and USB backups. My main issue is getting the model rigged by someone.
  9. USB drives. --------------------------------------- I still need someone who can rig the model for me before I can continue with the textures and shaders.
  10. Folders went corrupt to the point where it wouldn't even boot. Had to manually install a backup of windows 7 on factory settings, losing all my files. I think it's dying. lol
  11. That's pretty much what I'm thinking of doing. Had this thing for too many years already.
  12. I think I have a fault with the Hard Drive. Some folders I make randomly go corrupt and are impossible to delete/access. It's all I have so I make do.
  13. I've done many system restores, and even done a total factory reset by re-installing the factory Windows 7 from backup discs. It's just a shitty laptop pure and simple. 50% of my downloaded music doesn't even play so I just don't bother anymore, better to listen direct from youtube.
  14. Well I've tried running blender, in fact just installing it crashes. It's annoying that my PC won't let me get the libraries I need so I can use the programs I want. I can't even use photoshop on this PC, it doesn't load at all.
  15. I found the issue. It seems that audacity was creating a duplicate directory and putting the new audio in there, but loading from elsewhere. I fixed that now. Thanks for the help! Edit: Also I should point out, if it keeps reverting sample, simply copy/paste the audio into an audio file that is already at the sample rate you want and export it.
  16. No. I go at the top Tracks > Resample. That has always worked in the past, just not with these audio files for some reason.
  17. So I've put together a soundpack, and made sure that each audio file is Mono, 44100 sample in Audacity. However this does not change the sample.. the audio files revert back to their original sample rate. I am unsure what to do since this has never happened to me before. Any tips?
  18. Like I said, my PC isn't very good. My computer won't even let me download and install those upgrades without the program crashing entirely (not responding) every time. And my PC won't run Blender either, but the online modelling sites are just fine. It's just I can't rig the model with this laptop.
  19. Put together a soundpack for this. Not an official voice by any means to the original character from Super Hot, but suits it fairly well.
  20. Well if this can be made: https://jkhub.org/files/file/1189-jedi-knight-logo-saber/ I am sure a rapier type saber can be. It just has to be modeled correctly so it doesn't glitch through the players arms (axis rotation in blender would solve that with some trial and error).
  21. I just don't have the computer for it. This model I had to make 100% online since my actual Windows 7 laptop is stuck in the past and can't handle big programs like Blender or Autodesk or 3DS Max without telling me I need a distributive visual upgrade, and then crashes when I attempt these installations. Plus at the moment I can't really afford a better PC/Laptop so I have to compromise where I can.
  22. Fixed up some model issues since my first take on it wasn't totally complete:
  23. Now I just need someone to rig it to JKA.
  24. Uploaded my version of the model. I don't know if others can view this link or not. Can you check it please? https://clara.io/view/95ecbe77-4062-4931-a3d2-ac3434eb4b7f
  25. Those are just preview textures. The model doesn't actually have a texture yet.
