Here is an attempt at a younger variant of Obi. Which do you guys like better? The one I originally made or this one?

The beard on this Obi-Wan is hand drawn heheh, took me while.
There's something about this model that just doesn't look right in screenshots, but yet it looks good in modelview when you are moving it around and what not. I can't explain it, you'll have to see for yourself. It just looks better in 3d. Well, time to get this one in game.

I'm still depressed about Ki-Adi lol.

That top screen with the image at the top-right, Obi looks like a leech or something when he's opening his mouth. lol! Sorry... that's what I think at least. Apart from that kneeslapper, everything else is awesome. :) .. TRULY AWESOME. :)

He yawns o:

Anyway, for the older version: You need to make the eyebrows longer, they're quite short.
The younger Version: Well, dunno. I like the first one better.

PS: I still want to see your Palpatine O:

LOL Revan, the pic with his mouth open is just to show that the mouth is functional for SP...LOL, leeches...
And which one did you like better? Buffy likes the younger and Selek likes the older...I need a tie breaker here!

Ok Buffy, I'll try to make the eyebrows longer but for some reason, they are distorted on the UV map when I do. I'll see what I can do for you though. This model is very tough to skin, and has a few clipping issues. If Aaron was still around I'd ask for his help in changing just a few things on it.

And Selek, as far as Palpatine goes: I tried but I can't seem to find a decent model for him :( - I reskinned the toonces Palpatine and it came out OK with the hood, but the non hooded version looked very stupid because the hair was flat. (and I really want to make a palpatine without the hood.)

Thanks to Marcus LeCoy for Sig+Avy.

Anyhoo, how does your HOODED Palpy look?

And the unhooded model isn't too bad, just look at Notamu's one.

Uh, for Obi: I liked the older version more, but younger version is good too. Move along ;)

lol, my screensaver is all of your screenshots so far :)

If you don't mind, can you do a few requests for me?

1.) I'd like to see a few screens of Ep2 Obi-Wan and Anakin!

2.) Is there a map of the inside of Kamino? I'd like to see a screenshot of Obi-Wan talking to Taun We or Jango without the mask :P

Heheh, thanks Revan. :)

You are right about Lucas Arts. No offense but some of the Lucasrts models/skins do not look too great...just my opinion.

I don't get paid for this and I think I put more time into it than they do lol. They just don't put enough detail into it. IE: look at the episode 3 game, battlefront, ect.

What they NEED to do is hire Hapslash. lol

Speaking of which, I reskinned the episode 3 Obi-Wan. Not because it needed it mind you, (it is by far the best model/skin I have ever seen) but because I wanted it to look more consistent with my episode 1 and 2 Obi. Especially with the shaders.

AGAIN: FROM THE HEAD DOWN IS HAPSLASH'S TEXTURES- I DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION FROM HIM TO DISTRIBUTE THIS SO I WILL NOT BE RELEASING IT UNTIL I HAVE HIS OK.

It's hard to tell the difference so I posted a side by side. Some parts on the head are still Hapslash's. (the grey/white sideburns, and a few others.)

Here are some more WIP screens

After looking at the 3 models side by side, I came to the conclusion that I have to darken ep1 obi's skin up a bit. He looks too pale! :/

Here is Hap's Obi-wan in comparison to mine, both with and without shaders.
http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/8126/shadersnnot4ti.th.jpg) (http://img507.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shadersnnot4ti.jpg)
I much rather prefer my non-shader version over the shiny version, but I want it to look good next to my other skins so I might release both.

I like the idea with the specular shader! But the effect is kinda strong like some kind of plastic overlay.
Maybe tone down the spec image a bit and post it.

Thanks Buffy, hehe.

I think you're right Pahricidia, I'm going to try that later on today. I was going for the quake4/doom look and I may have overdone it hehe.

Right now though- I'm going to go watch "V for Vendetta". :)

Well, Omee, I'd say you mastered the Quake 4 look. Lol. Because I have Quake 4 and it is very very close. :D Very nice Omee.

Also, I hope to see SWG clone stuff soon. :) Im not rushing, Im just saying Im excited for all of your fantastic work. :)

I hope Im contributing alot of good things to you. I mean, for instance, giving you good reference and enthusiasm. :)

And I'd say since you have alot of friends here, that should help alot to you. I mean by rooting you on, seeing how you could improve, etc. Though, everything I've seen from you, I dont think you'd need MUCH improving on. :) You mastered the art of photosourcing + adding your own touches to it to make it more movie realistic. I love your work Omee, and I'll never cease to be amazed by how an awesome skinner you are. :D

I support you in everyway. :)

Buffy:
Sweet lord! That Kamino map is very cool Buffy. I like those screens too! Too bad we don't have a little mini Boba to throw in there hehe. :)

Revan:
Thanks man. You and Zappa do help out a lot via ideas, criticism (the constructive kind) and most of all enthusiasm! Thank you, and keep it coming.

Light Ninja:
As I stated in an above post, I do agree with Pahri and Light Ninja- "Tienes razon mi hermano." :P little spanish there from a fellow latino. The shaders on Obi do shine a bit much. They make him look like he is too sweaty. I'll tone it down slightly tonight and play around with the look. Hopefully I'll have some screens tonight.

Mace, Kit and Anakin look just about right- at least to me. Qui-Gon looks OK, maybe I'll turn his shaders down a bit too- not sure about that one.

And lastly "V for Vendetta" was...OMG....I... I....
What an awesome, awesome, flick- too say the least. If there is a modeler that can read this: MAKE A V MODEL!!!! lol

You guys aren't gonna believe this but I just had to...

in order to achieve consistency between the 3 models, I reskinned my reskin of Ep1 Obi. lol Here are some more screens:

http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/931/ep1obinew3nc.th.jpg) (http://img96.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ep1obinew3nc.jpg)
I think it looks way more like Ewan now. Not to mention it looks good next to the other two models.

And here is an example of the tweaked version of the shaders:
http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/6759/ep3obinew0zz.th.jpg) (http://img84.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ep3obinew0zz.jpg)

Woah... Nicely done! One day you are going to have to tell me your secret technique Buffy, lol. (You use the force don't you??)

Looking at the difference in the two models makes me wish Hapslash could edit the other models heads to fit on those robes. Hapslash makes such good models! I can't wait for him to release Anakin and Mace...

And thank you Alkonium. I always say "it's the little things" that make the big difference when it comes to editing.

Hello everyone!

Sorry for the lack of updates as of late. I am in the process of moving and things are a bit hectic right now. Tomorrow (Tuesday) I should have the Cable guy coming over to install both the Cable TV and my internet!! Hooray!

I recieved an e-mail from jk2files so my skinpack will be up for download on there soon I hope! I'm going to post at the void about using Hap's model and textures for the new Obi-Wan(s). So we'll see how that goes over and whether or not he gives me the OK for the pack.

Anyhow I plan to release the 501st Clones soon! I have to get with Zappa on it. Buffy was really helpful by including an NPC pack that comes with the DC-15 rifle and clone pistols! By the way, Is there a clone sniper rifle in the works somewhere? Also, I'd like to wait for Pahri's rifle to go with this but I could always add it on later.

As a recap, here are my projects:
1.) Get Permission from haps for me to use his textures in my skinpack. And release pack 2.

2.) Finish the 501st clones- I noticed some things I want too add on to them- minor details. (also maybe add some arcs and a commander via the surfaces)

3.) SWG clones.

Also, I just bought "The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion" for the xbox 360 so my real life is now over... :O LOL It's quite literally one of the most amazing games I have seen/played. I'll try not to let it interfere with the skinning lol.

LOL Zappa. Not that particular cable guy, but I'm sure it will be one in his image nonetheless.

And Pahri- that is looking really sweet, I can't wait to work on it! I have a few references to go by but the more the merrier if anyone else has some to share.

And I feel for you...I can't imagine running Oblivion on my PC- I have an athlon xp 3400, 1 gig of RAM, and a 256 ATI Radeon. Decent, but soon to be outdated in regards to Gaming. Heck even with those specs I have some choppy gameplay issues with games like Far Cry, Doom, and Quake 4.
W.o.W works fine though :)

And coincidently- Empire at War, Republic Commando, KOTOR and JKA run just fine! :P Star Wars conspiracy???

Okay, so I finally got around to finishing up the 501st skin pack. For the 501st Arc Trooper we have the default blue arc extras that were originally used in the Clones Ultima pack and for the 501st commander I used Cuillere's Commander Cody accessories and my own 501st skin.

I'm going to tweak a few tidbits here and there before I release it. After that I will be waiting for Zappa's "OK" to send it to PCGM/JK2FILES.

**On a side note, I don't understand what is taking jk2files so long to release my jedi skin pack. :( I followed all of the submission guidelines, and it's been well over a month. Honestly, I'm starting to lose intrest in skinning. What's the point in spending weeks making these things if no one will get to use them?? (not counting the few faithful we have here! :) )
