Added death, dead, blocks, saber deflections, saber bounces and an idle/breathing animation. He's way harder now that he can actually block attacks.

A good second sister model already exists >_>

Just played the level, we should all run through it multiple times to see how we feel about their difficulty, atm they'll probably put up a good fight against casual players. Had fun dueling them. Once Gorc has a full suite of blocking animations it should make him even tougher. I don't want them to be too easy.

If you are updating the textures further lmk. I updated the file on the drive just to include an altered animation.cfg file since I found the swings and movement to just be too slow making him too easy to defeat. He fights more like the "Desann" saber style which is a 1 handed medium speed style that has the strength of the heavy style. Increased walk speed and such as well. Working on death and jumping animations rn for him.

Learning to build a base mesh is a good exercise. The thing people starting out get wrong though like you is the thumbs. They don't come out of the side of the hand but the bottom, look a the base models hands in the root pose or your own in a relaxed state.

I really like how they have turned out, being more matte and less gloss.

Yeah, I thought that too. They were statues in the temple on Dromund Kaas that guarded it.

Get rid of the environment map shader, adds way too much gloss/glass like effect. Should just use specular shine.

Working on the shirt

I never said you couldn't animate with it, you're just not going to find any info on that subject around here on it. The bare JA skeleton as is really isn't any good for animating no matter what software you're using, it needs to be constrained to a biped with IK.

Now with hair

Figured I'd give some update on this here, I tend to forget about ol JKHub, I did another restart on his face, 3rd times a charm. Making some hair for him right now, took a while to feel like I got the face right.

I don't think so, people here just seem to use Blender to rip and port models from other games. Loads of threads in the WIP area are nothing but this. Animating is animating, that simple. You can literally follow any video out there and apply it to what you're doing. The biggest hurdle is setting up a biped rig to control the skeleton.
