I thought you already could have unique animation configuration files for a character-- that tells the engine which animations from a GLA a certain GLM model can use, no?

I would like to know the primary versions of 3ds Max used by this community to better guide my plugin development efforts. If you use versions prior to Max 8 please post that info. Thanks.

Once you apply your normals modifier and adjust... can you collapse it back to a mesh or poly object and preserve your normal changes???

The model looks great! I'd like to chat with you later (in a few hours) if possible.

@@Xycaleth -- keep up the great work! I thank you for your dedication.

It wouldn't be star wars without Jedi powers and lightsabers.

Is there any kind of Star Wars team working to create Star Wars in the Unreal Engine? It would seem most of the coding changes would be limited to coding Jedi force powers and a saber system, no?

Are you saying you cannot make cutscenes in the MP engine?

Well, it would be a scripted cutscene.

He should have launched a torpedo

@@DT85 -- let's do a quick challenge test to see how close we can match those Unreal results with OpenJK and Rend2... what say you? Maybe a great scripter and mapper will help out? We can exercise the ROFF2 exporter for the approach and landing... maybe I can work with @@Jedi_Mediator to make the needed EFX (using FX images created from Afterburner & FumeFX).

Yes, Tarkin does say that... but before that, Vader force chokes the officer who mocks the force-- so that officer knew as well? So yes Tarkin knows his true identity in EP. 4, but it's my opinion he doesn't know right now. Perhaps Ahsoka "outs" him later in Season 2... just my hypothesis.

So you don't think Kanan would have felt his "force signature" as that of Anakin Skywalker? ( Obviously in the show he did not... I just think he should have...) At this point I don't think Tarkington knows-- perhaps Ahsoka will "out" Vader as Skywalker and it becomes public knowledge?

So Ahsoka knows Vader is Anakin and hid that from Kanan-- but how can Kanan, a padawan of the Clone Wars, not know of Anakin Skywalker??? He should know/be familiar with Anakin's "force signature", no??? For example the younglings knew "Master Skywalker" before he slaughtered them.

It would be nice to add some variations to the Tusken character model. @@Langerd you should give him a go in your favorite 3D app (3ds Max, Maya, ZBrush, Mudbox, etc.)-- Just build/sculpt him in the root base pose and I'll help you convert the model to the Ghoul2 format and get it in-game.

@@Xycaleth, @@DT85 -- what is meant by "it's original form" ??? This implies much customization is already taking place?

Do you think JKE with Rend2 can achieve the same thing? Or would the EFX system need overhauling? Or could the current EFX system work if I created the EFX images with my 3ds max afterburner & fumeFX plugins?

So do you have any issues list? (Ghoul2 issues, etc.) Perhaps some of the experienced coders could help you knock some of them out (@smiletheory, @@redsaurus, @@eezstreet, @@ensiform)?

What are the current list of issues (Ghoul2, etc.)?

@@Xycaleth - any chance we can start discussing wrinkle maps implementation in the rend2 Shader?

So like I said... the inner mouth is completed but still needs a bit of tweaking-- I have some penetrations with the teeth. In fact I think the teeth and inner mouth (but not esophagus) should be moved rearward just a bit (i.e., the teeth are penetrating on the inside of lips): So I after I finish tweaking the inner mouth... I'll start on the hair.

So I have the inner mouth cavity completed-- I'm in the process of attaching it to the lips... I also spent some time Googling & downloading Photoshop Hair Brush presets... will post an update pic soon.

I must say... not very flattering.

So I have the esophagus/uvula modeled now... I just need to model the inner cheeks to tie it to the lips and wrap the gums & teeth... This is a quick hack of weighting the lower teeth/gums/tongue to jaw bone to open the mouth and get this screenshot... the esophagus is not weighted yet: EDIT: I see I need to tweak the tonsils a bit behind the uvula. ...after that I'll start on the Asian up-do hairstyle with chopsticks.
