I can't usually stand SNL (hasn't been funny for years IMO) but Adam made this

You should remove the requirement to register an account before being able to view the forums. Most people will skip over a site if they have to go through the fuss of an account before they even know if they want to join.

Enable guests to be able to see everything, but restrict their posting privileges, that's my advice.

Have you considered using any of Gwendoline Christie's lines as Brienne of Tarth from Game of Thrones? Since, y'know, same actress and stuff.

I did indeed consider this! But it's difficult to get dialogue that's a) Useable in a Star Wars context and b) Cleaned up with no background noise, etc. 

I might use that model as a reference for things like the finger-gauntlet armour, but I won't be including any of it.

Honestly, the changes I made to DT's regular stormtrooper are so minimal that it really isn't worth uploading - it'd be a bit cheeky to make a whole new release of someone's work with the only changes being slightly larger shoulder pads and a small reshaping of the helmet. If DT wants to incorporate anything in a future release, he's of course more than welcome to but I won't be uploading it.

As for Phasma, I tried to create some of my own sounds for her using Audacity and clips of Bastila Shan from KOTOR. Here's a sample:

EDIT: Phasma will have NPC support, with both an enemy and ally version included. I've never got round to learning how to provide player-SP support for a model, but I might include that too if it's easy to do so.

Is that DT's Stormtrooper, you're using either side of her?

Yes, that's the latest version of @@DT85 's stormtrooper, with some small tweaks to the helmet shape that I've made for personal use.

Had some time to kill today, so did some playing around with a placeholder shader just to see what she looks like in-game. Here's some shots:

Overall, I'm pretty pleased with how's she coming along - though at the moment she's stuck with the vanilla male Stormtrooper voice. Audio sources for Phasma seem hard to come by at the moment (and might stay that way until the DVD release ) but I know @ has a gift for sourcing sounds, maybe he'd be able to provide a few?

Yeah, a true from-scratch Kylo Ren model would be great to see.

Where did you download that T-21 from,@@Kualan?

Uh, honestly can't remember but I would assume it's either from JKG or MB2.

I love how you go all-in when you pick a character project - damn near every iteration/costume is crafted individually and included. I salute you.

 

 

EDIT:

 

Thoughts?

Wow, that looks really nice!

How will you achieve the chrome effect? A shader file?

Yeah. @@Barricade24 has a much better base texture that the model will use:

But the final in-game effect will be most likely be achieved with the help of a shader. Seems the logical way to do it.

release it

 

release it now

 

(Hope you get the reference)

Well this is what I achieved this evening, in terms of reshaping the helmet and cape. No additional skinwork yet though - and the cape still needs fine-tuning.

Will you be giving her suit more of a chrome silver look to it?

@@Barricade24 is working on the armour, and has a very good body of experience with stormtrooper skins. I'm just going to do what I can in adjusting the model, and leave the skinwork to him.

I'm going to try and find some time this weekend to reshape Phasma's cape and helmet. The cloak seems to exclusively drape over one shoulder only, and her helmet has a little less chin than the standard First Order stormtooper.

@ Awesome!  Well, that's a start at least, anyway.. @@DT85 @@Psyk0Sith @@Kualan.. You guys seem to know your thing. Is there any way you can assist with this or if anyone else knows how?

Not trying to be rude, but I'm sure DT and Psyko feel the same - there's no need to tag people constantly in request threads. If I had something to say in this thread, I would say it.

I would be happy to contribute a reskin - but I can't think of a good enough idea. The one that would have caught my interest initially would be a Sith Lord skin, but you've already come up with a really good one of those.

Don't worry, it's dead easy to get around this. When you import the .glm, make sure you delete 'default' as the skin option under the import options. Otherwise Blender is looking for an associated "model_default" .skin file for the weapon (as you get with player models) instead of not looking for anything at all.

Your models look like faithful recreations! I'm sure the kitbashers on the forums could make great use of them.

Say, you wouldn't mind teaming up on Phasma would you?

 

I've been working on my own version as well and that cape is certainly something that would make it better.

 

Your call of course but I think we could knock this character out if we combined forces.

Sure, I'll PM you what I have so far. Your skinwork looks like it might be a bit more hospitable to the shaders needed for the in-game chrome effect anyway.

Something I'm working on for the launch of The Force Awakens / the Hub's contest:

could you post a download link for satele shan?

I believe she's in the first dropbox link, a few pages back.

Love the 'mystery model'

Wow!

I don't know how to react to this, can we assume that Dooku found something interesting enough from the Jedi Archives or from a stranger,

to ready his ship and follow up the leads to this "treasure", and either wrote about it or spoke of it afterwards, insipiring a treasure hunt..  a part of me

thinks this is just like a Chip'n'Dale RescueRangers episode, but, part of me thinks this could be interesting to read. Is this a novel or a comic ??

 

 

 

It's a short story e-book.

If anyone really wants to know what the 'lost treasure' is, I've been told that it's (major spoiler for the e-book, though almost certainly not for TFA itself):
