Wow, nice new build! Out of curiosity, how many hours would you say it took to make the footage from start to finish? Makes me wonder if a longer machinima series is viable.

Just a word of warning - splitting edges does increase vert count. So long as you're doing it studiously (i.e. only doing the edges of the UV islands as @@Ramikad said and not just selecting all edges and splitting them which technically works) it shouldn't cause too much of an issue but it's something to check on.

Sadly Photobucket has turned to sh*t and is trying to charge ($400 a year!) for 3rd party hosting so all the image links in this thread are now broken. There's too many for me to go through and change over to Imgur one by one, but I'll try to get round to putting them all in an Imgur album or something and update the first post at some point.

First things first - what map are you trying to load on the server?

Looking good! Nice to a recent boost in activity with people's modding activities.

Photobucket has decided to mimic ransomware and disable all 3rd party hosting (such as forums) unless their users update to a $400 a year account so I've made the full jump to Imgur now. Pain in the ass though it was to do so, I'm glad Photobucket finally gave him a last excuse to leave behind their slow, bugged uploading system.

I've reuploaded the back catalogue for the first three volumes to Imgur and all issues can now be found at the following links:

Looks good!

Wow. Absolutely fantastic.

I did a similar kitbash for the officer and the Army trooper armor for the latest issue of my comic, but THIS is a true overhaul of how Imperials can be presented in this game with all the variations. Particular praise for the new caps and those overcoats. 

I will be following this with great interest.

What perspective are you viewing the models in? Try CTRL+F (I believe) to play around with different perspectives and see if that helps.

Apparently they confirmed in the panel that Rey/Boba/Han in Theed was just for the alpha demo.

What's exactly wrong with the Mega Pack models that makes them incomplete? I've been trying to throw them together as NPCs but they always turn up invisible. Anything to be done to fix that or is it the reason you class them as unfinished?

In other words, it's been so long since I looked at those particular WIPs that I've long since forgotten the multiple, varied reasons why they weren't game-ready. For several of them, it'll just be because of poor quality weights during my fledgling days and I've yet to find the time or inclination to do them again from scratch.

I like it - Purge was always one of my favourite Dark Horse one-shots. Very faithful recreation of the comic with the assets available.

Quick question - where did you source that daytime version of the Temple exterior?

Your machinimas continue to impress. Great shot-for-shot work.

Neat, good to see an original concept that also looks like it could have blended in seamlessly in the Mos Eisley cantina or Jabba's palace.

Neat! Always welcome more alien merc types. Though I think the Bo-Katan helmet needs to be mirrored?

You say it looks fine in Modview? Could I have a screenshot to try and diagnose the issue?

Perfect, very nice. Could easily see this being Chirrut back in his Guardian heyday.

Neat concept, head just looks a little too small for the rest of the body IMO.

@@AngelModder be like:

Just a head's up, they won't look very much like the actors with just a texture on the default Spanki head - I mean, you might be able to get together a passable JDM, but Peter Capaldi's facial structure is too distinct from the Spanki head.

Issue Seven - Lifting The Veil - is now uploaded to http://talesfromtheclonewars.net/

As always - thoughts, reviews and feedback are always welcome.

I've imported plenty of JK2 models, that should be fine.

Aye but you need set a .gla override and point it to the JK2 skeleton and/or use the 'Append' feature.

Just normal, jka model. Nothing special and using the normal skeleton.

Hm. Silly question, but does the version of Blender you're using match the version of the plugin?

What exactly are you trying to import? A vehicle? JK2 model? Anything that doesn't use the vanilla JKA skeleton?

Have that model in .fbx but can´t import it to Blender I can only export as .fbx

There are different kinds of .fbx. You need to use the converter to change it into one that will work with Blender (such as FBX 2013).

You need to use this: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/item?siteID=123112&id=22694909

To either convert it into a .fbx format that Blender will recognise, or convert into a more universal format like .obj
