Barricade24

So like $600? I can't really afford that right now. Not sure it is something I really need either.

Hmm...pretty neat. How costly is it?

What exactly is Zbrush? Is it some kind of texturing tool?

Just a notification, the skinning part for the Shadow Trooper is done. Well, except for the glow stuff but that is still WIP. Anyway, I am focusing on getting all the skins done first, then moving on to shaders. At this point there is not much left to skin. So far the only things left are: The Blue Incinerator (He only has some leg work and a tiny bit of helmet work left) The Default Commander (He only needs a shoe finished.) The Red Commander (Still needs a bit of work.) The Shadow Incinerator (Needs an updated head line.) The alt version gets the same update. So really, not a whole lot left to do in terms of skinning.

A few things I notice so far: 1) You could model on the "bracelets" on the trooper's arms. 2) The arm cylinder is a little too big. Going up the arm, it should go up now more than a little half way up the arm. Going down it goes a little past the "bracelets". 3) The breathing tubes could be a little more curved around the middle. Your ref pics should be able to explain this better. 4) The cylinders on the leg are not in a box. They are 4 individual cylinders that pretty much cover the upper half of the leg. 5) Shoulder pads could be a bit bulkier. 6) The belt "bulges" are on the front half of the belt (use) DT'S belt for reference. I believe the EVO belt is exaclty the same as the Stormtrooper's. The belt could also over all bit a bit taller. 7) The "poo" shaft on the back back can be removed. Instead whatyou need is a circular backwards object is needed. I'll supply reference. 9)The EVO only has one stomach tube. That connects into the life support box. (Which the square part could be bigger.) It appears tohead to the left and down into the side of the chest. So you can delete the tube on the right. 10) The over all head shape (mainly the middle) can be strechted a bit more to the sides. The top of the helmet should not fade to the top so quickly but a decent slow pace so that it looks more unified. That's what I can see for right now. He's looking good, but could still need some more work.

Hnn...I didn't know that. That's some interesting info.

Are we talking about the central breathing tube or the one that is a bit lower that goes to the left? If we are talking about the lower one then yes, it only goes to one side.

Anything to update yet? I am very interested to see this model finished.

It appears to me that the the staight lines on the front of the thigh are indeed modeled on, based on some of the ref shots I have. As far as the breathing tube goes, I can tell that it needs to be a little bit wider at this point. As far as symmetry goes, when he is in a position such as the one in the ref pics you added, the tube seems to be centered, but I am guessing due to the shape is when the Jump Trooper moves, the tube's symmetry becomes off because it isn't in a centered position, if that makes since at all. In terms of reskinning, all I really ask is this...please--no mirrored textures. Unless it is something not noticable like the bottom of the shoes. New model is looking great by the way. I've been away for awhile so I haven't seen any updates for quite some time.

I appreciate the interest, but I can likely handle the testing on my own. Again though, thanks for the interest.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Hey, you wouldn't mind posting up shots of the Shadow Trooper would you? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I think the way the DF Mod team handled the Dark Forces Mod really works well for updating an old game. One particular thing I didn't like about the Beta was that there was no lower level cargo area that lead to the landing platform, so I hopefully that can be included somewhere down the line.

I know that @@Circa has a mod that contains a Super Battle Droid model with the arm gun and the animation you are looking for. It is under the Prequel Mod I believe. I think there is also a Destroyer Droid thing that may be what you are looking for as well.

I have taken a look at Cade in the Sith Customization, and Cade's particular set up really does not work well on the jedi model at all. EDIT: Never mind I was able to download it. I guess JK3 Files is having server problems. That or is my connection. Okay, this honestly surprises me...but apparently one can skin on the face texture from the Sith Customization and put onto this model....hnn...I'll mess around with it and see what I get.

Let me take a look and see what exactly can be done with the models provided. I can't gurantee anything at this point. But I'll have look and see if I can do anything to supply what you want.

Thanks for the reference, Chalk. Man, the chest plate paintjob for the Shadow EVO looks almost exactly like the one I did for the Shadow Stormtrooper. Quite interesting.

Hey Chalk, you wouldn't happen to have any shots of the model of the Shadow EVO Trooper would you? They could be useful for whenever the EVO is released.

I wouldn't mind doing some trooper voices if the role is still open.

I don't suppose you would be willing to add on General Weir's bandolier would you? http://www.lightsidestudios.com/StarWarsCostumes/Shadow%20Scout/General-Weir-pic500.jpg You don't have to if you don't want to, but I think it would be a really cool add on.

This is an awesome model! I was hoping to see another model of a Scout trooper released. Please, please, please release this! It looks quite excellent and I love me some Imperial models. It would go great with DT's Stormtrooper. Also could you please keep the pauldron it looks awesome!

Is there anything @@ChalklYne can't do?
