Mr. Ren

So, after a few requests here about showing more details, I decided to "slightly open the curtain", since the first model is done and retexturing is going to the end.

This is WIP after all. I just didn't want to show every part I've done, like a shot every time some part is done. It's kinda meh 

But anyway, since the picture is almost full, I'll show you what do I have at the moment.

Remember, it's still WIP (unfinished), so some parts don't fit each other. I hope you'll like what you see.

P.S. if you want to wait for a full look at the model, just do not check this.

The biggest qualm I have with all (Yes.. All lol) the Kylo Ren models, on JKHub.. Are how inaccurate the sleeves are. Everybody seems to just give him "fat" sleeves, when this is exactly the opposite of how he actually has them. It can't be that hard to do.. Surely? It seems very lazy to me, to just give him "fat" sleeves. Psyk0Sith got it spot on, with his model (before he unfortunately discarded it.. Such a shame. But it is what it is).

 

But I'm glad you've posted that image above, zefilus. Hopefully, that'll help @@Mr. Ren out, in that area of the model's look. But this is looking really good so far, Mr. Ren. Keep up the good work!

I've got your point, mate, about sleeves.

I'll try to do smth with them, but that will probably be for V 2.0, I guess.

And I saw lots of images, while I was looking for smth I needed and I know what do you guys mean.

But still I like Plasma's model. I just wanna show my vision of it.

So, I guess I'll do some attempts about sleeves, but later.

And yeah, thx for your support! 

Well, good luck with this The only request I have is that you'd try to make the belt look as "leather-y" as possible. Oh and the arms should be slimmer.

Thank you!

Yeah, I'll try my best)

What about hood from front view bro?

The hood is the same one that is in Kualan's model, but with a few changes (I've made it a bit more accurate).

Let me finish the mask (I'm currently working with it) and I'll post the upper belt shot, so you could see it 

I'm sorry but I don't see the difference, other than a minor change in the hood - Is changing the black to another tone of black really worth it? Seems like nitpicking to me.

 

Could you perhaps give us more screenshots that show these ''changes'' a bit better?

There's also the list of changes in the post with the screenshots.

About recolour - yes, it is, because that was one of the reasons I decided to do reskin.

And it's not a black colour, that's the point. I'd say it's light grey or a middle one and I've made it darker. There are only a few parts left. I think the new way of the tone gives a closer skin to the film version.

Don't worry, there'll be more screenshots soon. Patience 

I just want you can see the full picture, not just a random unfinished parts.

lol, what a weird people out there!

That's totally ridiculous to think that you guys wanna get fame by using the original author work or owning it without any credit of him.

The funniest thing is you've given him a credit not even once and told his work was huge and hard.

Besides, this mod was created by fans and for fans, so just keep it up and do not deal with idiots 

How will this model be different to Plasmas? 

Well, check the first post with some screens of Plasma's and mine.

You can already see some changes I've done.

When I finish retexturing and post screens of the front view and sides, you'll see more difference 

That's why I do a comparison screens 

So, while you're waiting for it, I'd like to introduce the list of the models, which I'm going to include into reskin:

- Regular Kylo (with the full outfit):

- Hood down version:

- Unmasked with the scarf version:

- Masked with no scarf version:

- Unmasked with no scarf version:

This list concerns only Episode VII versions by now. We'll see about next actions. I need to finish these ones first.

I'm still here 

I almost had no time to work on my reskin lately, but now I'm starting to keep it up.

An update soon.

I really like the horns became longer.

That fits CW Maul much more.

Good job!

Thank you 

See if you can do something with the sleeves, too.. They’re currently too “fat” and not accurate to the model/character, at all. It’s always been one of Kylo Ren’s models’ biggest problems. The fact that nobody’s managed to get his sleeves the ya they should be. Psyk0Sith did, but he “deleted” his work, after not working on it for so long.

Well, with my skirt's size they fit enough (doesn't look so "fat").

We'll see)

Thanks for your feedback!

Hey everyone! I'm currently working on Plasma's Kylo Ren's reskin (the original model: https://jkhub.org/files/file/2977-kylo-ren-tfa-tlj/) and I'd like to share some details with you.

Well, it concerns Episode 7th's models by now, I don't know, if I'm gonna change smth at 8th's (yes probably). We'll see about that 

I'm new to this thing and I had no idea how to work with models until I've started this project. But I've done a good job in my opinion, especially for a newbie. Actually, the first model is already done. I only need to finish retexturing. The next ones (there will be 5 models) are based on the first one, so the process should be going faster.

Some info about changes I've done. The most part of my work took the skirt (hips robes). There were some mistakes and many attempts, but eventually I've done what I wanted. Well, 99% of it 

I was also trying to do the side cuts, but it doesn't work in the game the way I want. Anyway, I'm pleased the result a lot!

Also, there was some work with padding (editing), hood (replacement and editing), the left part of the scarf (torso cape - editing), hips (replacement), boots (replacement) and the main retexturing (still working on it  ). The models will have a more darker view (darker outfit), it's closer to the film version in my opinion.

Dunno what to say else, I'll just give you some look with comparison with the original model (by Plasma).

This little tease is from the back, because it's done. I mean the texture. When I finish the retexturing, I'll give you the full picture of the model 

I hope you will like it! Share your opinion down here and May the Force be with You 

That looks pretty nice! 

Oh, I got you.
I didn't know about that, but anyway as some experienced player, I usually play on JM level)

1. It is because you are playing on Jedi Knight difficulty. It reduces your health to half. If you want to play padawan difficulty with 100 hp, but without god mode, just disable it in main menu.

 

2. Saving is broken since original game. We will work on that in the summer

 

Thank you for your support

I always play without God mode, but thank you)

And it's the good news you guys are gonna fix the saving! ;-)

Thank you guys for sharing this updated mod version!

I know it is only beta by now, but I can see you've done the huge changes about it 

So I was wondering about 2 things.

The first one is why when I spawn at the beginning of every mission I have only 50 of health and 50 of the shield points?

I mean, it's kinda logical when you spawn into the short negotiations mission, because of the gas (dioxis), but it looks a bit strange in other ones. And the only way to get at least 100 points of the health is to heal yourself or get medpack (if there is) or after you die, you can get both: 100 of the health and 100 of the shield.

I guess it's kinda bug or so. I suggest to leave it into the short negotiations mission and give at least 125 points (100 - health and 25 - shield) into the other ones, if that's possible to do.

And the second one is about saving issue. I save the game at some place and after I die, I do the quick loading by a button. When It loads, my enemies do nothing and I can't kill them + my allies (if they exist, for example like Obi-Wan) become my enemies (they try to kill me). 
There's also another version of this issue. Like in the mission with Jango Fett: when I do the quick loading, I become invincible (health stays in the 100 points), but Jango still tries to attack me. I can't kill him as well as I already described in the first case.

Can you guys fix it please? Because without saving, it's quite difficult to finish the level from even a several times. And the God mode makes the game kinda boring (don't get me wrong).

Anyway, it's just a suggestion. I know you guys like to hear a feedback from the users)

That´s in our plans for the future. First release will be original mod remastered.

Just some thoughts: I'd love to see the mission of destroying and burning down Luke's academy by Ren after their confrontation, with killing students.

Alas, we didn't see this in the movie, as well as very many things we thought we will...

Latest progress - white collar, white boots, further body color edit, improved belt with new metal texture of belt buckle and I have started working on younger master Luke from TLJ flashbacks 

 

Hehe, I was going to ask if you plan to make the younger version of Luke.

So, that was my answer)

Great start!

I didn't know you're actually working on the second version. Great job guys!

Wow, this Luke looks really nice!
