[wipz] Ghogiel's Star Wars

[nx01frank]

ghogiel, if may i say that... you should realy make a little quest with your work... with a kind of base or crashed ship to exploring or soemthing like that.

yes i know.

but you do understand, that for me to do that, I have to create the assets first? I don't have a base. and I don't have a crashed ship. It takes a LOT of time to do any thing. don't under estimate that! I am only 1 man, there is only so much I can accomplish. even if I clock up 30 hours a week on this stuff.

 

i probably wont have any thing like a mod for at least several months. likely longer when i am planning to finish the astromech creature.

lol of course i understand that :) ...i did say that with the base/ship, coz i think you are very talentet.... thats all ;)

I made a more definitve Stormtrooper helmet. (Not final textures)

nifskope views comparing new hotness to old 'n busted.

Now when you look art it like that.... The old one really is terrible. :sick:

 

I'm very nearly happy with it. at just about 3K tris(lower than the old crappy one :wub: ). I did lavish some serious time on shape of the mesh. I based it on the Master replicas CE. which is not exactly movie accurate, the sculpt is symetrical unlike the orginal props in the film. I did that so figuring out a good symetry was already taken care of.

People were rightly complaining that the one I made a few years ago was "malformed". And that a JKA modder named Hapslash possibly had the best bucket going. hopefully mine is a clear step up from both. at the very least it should take an uber level modeller with a good amount of free time, Or 3d scan an actual helmet to out do this one. :dry:

 

Just working on the maps fixing seams and adding details.....

 

I also 90% modelled a SE-14R blaster pistol and a T-21 light repeater. prepping meshes for bakes and textures.

 

Started preparation to model stormtrooper armor and the e-11 blaster rifle + sand trooper backpack/pauldron etc.

 

Made a LOT of headway with my Tantive IV interior set. Everything is working in game/collision/textures/materials/animated doors etc. Pretty fun to stop around in my test cell. Need to tweek a couple textures/meshes and the base set is done- it can make rooms and corridors.

I want to add a level changing piece(ie stairs), Curved stairs, and T-junction room splitting into a different corridor section-> the bit with the escape pods. Doubt I'll take it further than that.

 

No change on the Astromech atm. I'm just building up the motivation to tackle the final stages.

 

Thinking about Tatoonie exterior/int or an imperial style interior tileset.

**Release!** Updated Star Wars Helmets pt1 with the new improved stormtrooper helmet. So its effectively at esp v1.1

 

Some new in game tantive IV images in my photobucket account HERE!

Made some more progress on the T-21 light repeater high poly. It's nearly ready to bake normal maps from. The UV is tight on that one. :cool: pretty much maximizing while still leaving enough padding between shells/islands.

scratched out the stormie armor base meshes.

like needs a lot more tweaking/clean up before it goes anywhere. pretty simple shapes, so it was pretty straight forward and quick to do the base mesh.

 

tomorrow\s plan- finsh T-21 high poly and start baking, model sandtrooper backpack/pouches/pauldron, mess with tantiveIV tileset meshes/textures, take stormie armor further, and model xwing pilot helmet. possible for 1 day? probably not.

 

stupid volcanno ruined my trip to milan. so I'm effectively about 400euros richer. and I won't be away for 2 weeks. so I will be modding and buying something expensive. but I'm still bummed out about that whole thing. :shrug:

I have some crappy luck with flights. like over a year ago, 2 weeks before the financial crisis hit, I tried to get a flight from stockholm to london on airline called sterling or something- week after I booked, crisis hit, the airline folded. and I lost 50 euros flight. no refund. lol. pretty funny actually. though I could have done with the 50 euro at the time.

 

anyway. modding. yeah. and stuff.

pretty much finished that. - icon.

 

been getting tooth ache so modding isn't my fav thing to do until i get sorted next monday.

 

sometimes, when I see an jpg image of something on my screen, ie surfing the web, atempt to rotate it as if it's a veiwport to a 3d object.. :ermm:

does anyone else get that?

[krimzin]

You know, that stormtrooper armor still looks better than any stormtrooper armor mod made so far.

[Ghogiel]

hopefully you can say that after i have actually made it. i still have 85% of the work left to do on that.

 

anyway I was a bit bored with the tantive interior. though I made some good progress with it, i jumped onto something else. another star wars eyebot :3.

T21 Light Repeater

 

Awww yeeah. just customarily massacred megaton with it. Now I need a certain armor on while I do that. Hmm... I need to dress kids up as jawas... I might be onto something there :biggrin:
