Yeah, that's the poster-edges effect. That's what it is called in Photoshop anyway, might be something different in GIMP. It's not a bad effect in itself, but the loss of detail (particularly when one wants to do long- or wide-shots) means it's not something I'm likely to implement in this series though.

Thanks for the suggestion, however. Always happy to hear any more.

You should cartoon-ify your comic, to make it look more like a comic book. There's a simple effect for that in GIMP 2.6.

Is that the poster-edges effect? You lose a lot of the detail with those effects, and I also didn't want to give the impression that I was attempting to use a half-assed trick to try and fool people into thinking I had actually drawn the comic myself xD

It can:

What it can't do is take any old model and export it as a fully-working rigged GLM. But if you import a GLM file, make some minor edits (for example, changing a tag name), it can then export that GLM with the fixed tag name.

Before working on the Rex issue, I spent part of today working on another pair of Commanders and their troops; Commander Grain and Commander Bolton. Commander Grain and his troops I envisioned as wearing armour suitable for some desert world rife with sandstorms. The Commander also wears a fusion of the Phase 1 and Phase 2 helmets, retaining the fin. Bolton's men were made especially for the upcoming Volume Four of my Tales From The Clone Wars comic, as troops serving under Saesee Tiin. As such, the main patterning on their armour is a silhouette of the Iktochi Jedi Master:

Commander Bolton:

Commander Grain: 

Bothan?

I think @@NumberWan recently revealed the Dark Pasttime team were working on a new Bothan model.

You know, her eyes look a little too blue. Based on the reference shots, they should be a bit greener.

I think that might just be the shots where she has her lightsaber ignited. Most of the time she seems pretty blue-eyed: 

That desann skin.... .

When I had a standalone site, I had a credits section so people knew which skins were mine and which were other people's work. I think what I'll do for Volume Four is include a 'credits page' (blue text on a starfield, true Star Wars style naturally!) with each issue.

Welcome aboard!

Coming soon:

At least two more species are planned, i will consider adding Chagrian to the list but Darth Wyyrlok would need a brand new body.

Just having a Chagrian head on Jedi Robes like you've done with Ongree would be amazing in itself, thanks for considering the request. I look forward to these two other mystery species as well. I'm sure they'll be great.

Yeah, it seems that what works in Modview has to be done slightly differently to achieve the same effect in-game. Shouldn't take too long to figure out.

Ah, no I know what the problem there is. I've overlooked something and will try to fix it.

In a nutshell, Rex's helmet is actually made up of two meshes - the Phase 2 helmet, and the Mandalorian helmet with the antenna, that is textured in such a way that everything except said antenna is invisible. This gives the appearance of the antenna being attached to the Phase 2 helmet without having to actually model it on. It's all done with .skin file/texturing trickery. I think I just need to use a shader file or something. I'll look into it - thanks for testing it out Circa!

I can.

Thanks, but if it works fine for Circa I'll just go ahead and upload the Rex skin to the Hub so it should be up fairly quickly anyway for you

PM'd.

I have a pack of 501st clones more or less ready to go, but would like to trial the Phase 2 Captain Rex to make sure I've got the icons/sounds/etc working in-game first. Is there a volunteer to whom I could PM to see if it works or not?

I haven't included team, bot or NPC support at the moment - would just like to make sure I've got the basics working first.

Out of curiosity @@Psyk0Sith, is Pablo Jill a 'one last hurrah' comeback for you or do you have plans to bring any other characters that missed their shot in JKA's golden age to the game?

Not that I have a particular bias or anything... 

I would be happy to do it for you, but I'm still learning the game of rigging models and getting them into JKA I'm afraid. When @@minilogoguy18 has the time spare to finish his tutorial series on that I'm sure there will be a fair few folks who will have the know-how to help you out with it. 

Fair warning, it could be a bit of a wait though, since with the holiday season in full swing folks are going to have less and less free time until the new year.

Antar 4 was way back in Volume Two so I had to do some digging to find what map it was, but here you go folks: http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/Sniper_Oasis;115441

Just read it, well done . It was so good, it seemed as if I was reading canon!

High praise indeed! Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

do you even pop culture

No. I'm too hipster for that.

Ugh, I feel dirty even joking about being a hipster...

was around long before hipsters were a thing

Hipsters have always been a thing.
