I think there needs to be more strength coming from his tail's movement. In other references it'd seem that's what pushes him forward and in your animation it looks a bit weaker.

Towards the end of this clip is how they had Hutts propel themselves in the Clone Wars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g956jfBm0VA

Thats a really nice reference thank you! I think ill do it like that with a bit less side to side action. The scene right before that with zero is a great reference of upper body thanks again

katanamaru i thought you'd be interested to know I just had to pay off a ticket I got in Galveston years ago XD

Doh! Speeding? Public nudity (only slightly homo), drunken disorderly?

traffic stuff yeah

but it was a SERIOUSLY homo traffic violation XD

@ChalklYne, you're post trailed off. Please continue with another comment .

Oops, *your*

is nothing but dirt and I would like to show them a change in scenery. Arizona is nothing but dirt and bigger piles of dirt XD but yes, its like 25% because of booty XD

I would think it would be the other way around...

Rofl agreed. I bring out the der in people

Good to see you too

I think I was adding cautiously too... I've lost multiple relationships from it lol. Thankfully... i guess ladies don't like you spending most of your time rigging wookie crotches

Well I've spent over 40k hours in GTK XD...

My. God.

Thanks man!

afaik this is not supported.

well technically speaking, it should be possible. Each LOD is a model on it's own after all, you'd just assign other (downsized?) textures to it... but not sure how efficient that would be.

Yeah I mean... Circa was one of the ones I asked to get @staff working so sure, lets get him on the case. XD Is there no order here?! 

Group mentions can be done but are a paid plugin for the forum software. If you want to donate to it, Chalk, I will get it and install it.  The new account message idea isn't bad, I'll have to look into that.

I do hope to have a front page overhaul that focuses less on news posts and more on stuff like that, but I'm not sure when that'll happen.

@Circa We have the plugin over at JoF. Can't we just hand it over to you somehow? (or is that illegal, lol?)

damn man we should skype id get ya going

No internet. Except here at work. If I get a weekend away from my girl I may try and setup a session with you.

sounds good my contact info is on my profile

^

Just like Palpatine orchestrated both sides of the war...

He's the only one I know of who actually does what he says rofl.

Papa Palpa actually did do as he promised, lol

We are being hopeful? At least in this status?

¯\_(シ)_/¯

Yeah at least in this status. Way to keep up the activity @ChalkIYne!!!

look who's back in da house ;D

CHALK

Whats up gentlemen? Ony ive just been working, being daddy, and chipping away at this mod. DT i think im just excited to see some new cinematic life and hope he doesnt muck it up. Ashura i wish i had your phone number or something ive missed my hedgehog dearly and hows it goin omi mad excited to be back! Now i think ill go lurk the forums and see what sort of modding debauchery youve all been up to

Oh, okay. I saw all those various parts, it looks very nice!

I eagerly look forward to the model pack of the many derp faces of Starkiller.

Derpkiller model pack XD

texture mip-mapping?

Omg my bad. Yes. This. So is there a certain map distance that the textures start breaking down into lower res? Is it considered to be handled correctly by jka's engine?

I would like to know because Im trying to work with nice high res textures for pretty much the whole mod, but I would like them to scale down correctly for fps

I was so amazed by your Hutt model's animations, that it inspired me to start rigging and animating stuff like the Shyrack model from KOTOR I.

awesome man. what program are you animating in?

Blender, started using it for non-animation relatedstuff and after a while I got used to it. Seems to work quite well too!

Either you or someone else has posted that before. Great stuff though.

I posted it about 5 other movies I didnt mention this time. but good memory

Ah you're right.

LMAO! It need be textured

I'll see what I can do.

K. Then i'll clean up the UV maps tonight and see what's going on. Also, I'm not sure if I have to just export .obj's or separate glms or what let me talk to Ashura, or if you run into him ask him

Wouldn't it have been funny if you did come to Texas this summer and found out I was 13 or something. Man you'd be a creeper.

lmao hey man that idea for mocapping the anims, would need a lot of help from mini for me to get the finger controls correct because it wont really capture the fingers nicely, and i'd need a universal finger control. I know how to set it up, but it would honestly take SOOOO much time out of what I'm doing right now to get it going. Still, I plan on setting it up, and getting it all ready so anyone on the Hub who has a kinect eye can download the settings and the program and customized...

Nah I think we already discussed going out for some drinks XD Now if we discussed going out for drinks, and u turned out to be 13, yeah id be creepy lol. Ah hell who am I kidding I am particularly creepy anyways

Mostly Dark Souls 2! Broke my middle finger in a sword fight for the actor Miltos Yerolemou aka Syrio Forel on Game of Thrones. He is friends with our club and came to watch us. Said my buddy and I had the best fight he ever saw that wasn't choreographed! I got the last hit in the match where I threw my buddy on the ground, cut his head off, and screamed "The Lannisters send their regards!"

Since I'm blond with blue eyes.

You really never can have enough middle fingers... Congrats on the kill

The legs at the end gave me some flashbacks to ‘Nam.

- better combat than battlefront 2

Which combat? There was no combat there X) just smashing one button

Karl Cater leaves a trail of dead stormpoopers in his quest to defeat Desu & save Jane

Maya was mentioned quite a bit here and there also. Heres a few more movies XSI had it's hand in... Last Samurai, Peter Pan, Van Helsing (the brides of Dracula), Harry Potter 3 (the dementors), Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

Sometimes they use SI for some part of the production, 3dsmax for another and Maya for another. How much SI did they use for 300?

Btw, I tried to use Maya for a while but I came back running to SI in tears. Let's not fight again darling I told to it.

Whats it do anyways?

idd I always saw it and I have no idea what it does

You can enter the URL of an RSS feed into a Feed Reader program and it lists all your news in one place. Not a lot of people use them, but RSS feeds can be useful for some things (including displaying news content ingame )

Shweeet. Thanks

I once rode a tauntaun... with a tauntaun (playermodel tauntaun in SP). It was a mixture of creepy and hilarious.

Hahahaha

I spent a very long time on these storylines and am drafting a sort of storyboard to run by a few elite to gain feedback soon.

3 will tie in the stories of TFU 1,2, Dark Forces, and A New Hope, touching on the events leading to Operation Skyhook

Amazing

Hello gentlemen. I made dumplings

Welcome back
