Ill PM you right now

Maybe he didnt really know where to start, and just wanted a clean prologue. @UM-3154 You said you were doing some porting? What are you porting? There's quite a lot of resources here, as well as skilled people to help you get the ball rolling. What software are you familiar with, or interested in? Is there a specific game you wanted to port over? There's a good chance it's either already been ported, or requested. Just let us know what your plan is and we'll steer you in the right direction, and if you ever get overwhelmed with this site in particular, hit me up. I do things.

Few minor tweaks Still need to model in a few more wraps and get it all segmented how i want it. Also still quite a few small details to paint in

Starting to figure out skin

Moving right along. Big changes The flash bang on her shoulder

@fullkevlar could be the name of the shader entry? regardless... why would you change base assets? might cause conflicts with other peoples maps. I would say instead, create a custom texture and add it into a custom pk3. Then replace the white2 areas of your map with your custom texture. Its always best practice to leave the base assets alone. From my experience at least. maybe I'm reading you wrong

Cold blooded man. Ice cold

LMFAO nah man its perfect. I was just bustin your chops. I get all the staff members after their very public execution of my friend Bob Bergen. Youre doing great.

Oh youre staff? Welcome to thunderdome. Nah i didnt port anything. Ever. Even if there's a FIRE. Thanks for the positive feedback. How would you like it if I went and changed your topic headers around? Wouldnt feel very nice would it? U wanna GO bro?!

Not original. From Killer Instinct 2013

Ok Ill pause for a while and get feedback on these and fine tune these before I move any further

Finishing up armor and belts. Will work on boots next

Shorts

Updates to the armor after a few nice crits on discord

BTW... everything has normal maps as well. Not sure why yet... but I went ahead and added them

Updates to her chestplate textures. Ill be modeling her cat as well btw Modeled, Unwrapped, and slapped a basic texture on her batons

I think I'm hijacking the discord server with updates on this model, and decided to do it correctly and just make a post. Being that this is my favorite game character, I'd like the crits to be harsh and precise. Im not using any more than 9 or 10k polies on this model though, so don't go all inner folds of the ears on me, but lets get the texturing, proportions, and rigging correct please. Here are some references for comparison. Here is what I have so far. This is the area I will designate for a TODO list, derived from the crits and suggestions, and will try to keep it updated Thanks for all the help.

Exactly the kind of stuff someone under a NDA would say... XD just yankin yer crank man. I followed this thread more than any other thread lately. You put a lot of time and effort into your stuff and it's appreciated site-wide I'm sure. Good work over the years man.

DMCA for copyright?? OMFG please let this be the case so all of my complaining about porting over the years comes to fruition XD

Nah I haven't been posting because I've been working on saluable material .. but I check jkhub just about every morning, lurking in the shadows. The PSU just blew like 2 weeks ago or so. Yeah money's tight for things like that, took my kids to Disneyworld last month for their summer vacation and have been slowly recovering since In fact .. I started modding jka when my daughter was 1... She's 11 now lol

Sure! Let me get a new PSU and I'll hook u up with links. I should just update my sketchfab for portfolio purposes anyway. I sell mainly on cgtrader and turbosquid... I think I had something like daz3d as well but wasn't generating any traffic. I even sunk so low as to considering finishing my tfu mod and releasing it as standalone models in a huge pack for a couple bucks... But figured it rather dooshy and dropped the idea.

She deserves a better answer than that .. I say she needs a full TC mod detailing the events that lead up to that fateful wanted poster. With multiple spinoffs. That random artist just turned into the legendary Rando Artis

The scorning came from requester pestering, passing off works as their own, having an entitled demeanor while requesting, impatience for modders, and comparing original work to a game studios work and requesting we just port the models as opposed to trying on our own. No one just woke up one day and decided to be jerks to the requesting community, there was just a complete disconnect between requesters and modders, and it drove a lot of modders away, hence asking some requesters to learn the ropes for themselves on the simpler stuff. The jkhub community is in its current state because of all parties involved, not just the modders. The hostility towards ports at least personally stems from a few problems... the awesome talent that we have here being asked to just stop trying and port the original models, even though 1. The original models are built for much higher end engines and will cause issues if ported, and 2. It takes the fun out of it and turns modders from hobbyists to employees. Ports hurt a modeler because when one modeler spends months or years developing a model, then you just port over Lucas arts model next to it with 50,000 more polygons, you tend to be quite cruel with comparison. Not taking into account the need to drastically drop resolution for engine stability and just judging someone's 6 months of work vs a team of trained professionals and digital scans and limitless engine capabilities 4 years of work like they're somehow comparable. Also, a lot of requests just kinda stink and I think personally that I have to have some sort of interest in the model to work on it. This is jkhub... for jedi knight games... skyrim, gta etc have their own sites, modders, community, and discords. So it seems u and I have opposing ideology on what makes jkhub great and where it could improve. Maybe the utopia of jkhub u envision is the opposite of what I'd like to see. Therein lies the conflict of websites in general. Can't please everyone. I'll agree with you that this site seems to have lost traffic, but I do believe we have conflicting opinions as to why or how to remedy it I'll further add to my point that it seems the elders are showing less and less productivity because of real life and how that goes when you no longer have 18 hours a day to work on jk stuff... and the newcomers we asked to learn as well as request didn't and now there's no next generation of modders. Just a theory though And also.... yeah... discord. 95% of my models now are for sale on various sites, but I still have all my old models and will work on them from time to time. I still have the passion for it, just also gotta pay bills raise kids spend time with the wife... I wish there was a younger person with the passion I have and time I lack. Triple post combo, r.i.p. bergen
