If you want to do ctf skins I'm totally fine with it. I was just going to do a little recoloration on the default skin to make them, so the more the merrier.
That looks really good. The only thing I can see different is the blind fold thing dosnt appear to have all the detail in the side parts like it does on the cover of jediknight. But it still looks perfect though.
Yeah, if you could id go with the cape. Gives him more of an authority figure look.
if the cape is modelled, make sure it's a separate skin (ie. jerec/cape).
I really don't understand why everyone is such a fan of capes and cloaks. Without custom animations most of them look awful in game, and due to polycount restraints half of them are practically flat planes with wrinkles painted on. Maybe it'd be cool for cutscenes, but with a few exceptions(such as dooku and vader) I can't stand them when playing.
And btw, the blindfold is modeled.

I believe that Jerec fits into that catagory with Dooku and Vader. I say include the cape. Jerec just wouldn't seem the same without it
sorry folks, he is as he appears ingame, JK1.
damn i disagree with that, i would really like to see a caped Jerec, he didn't look right in JK1 without one and he won't look right in JK2 without one, i am sad to see you make this mistake. :(
jeez, it's been so long since i've played jkI i had no idea the guy even had a cape ... guess i always remembered him as he is in-game, without one.
i agree with inbred about the "look" and "feel" of capes when you're playing. all the clipping that occurs with the arms and legs is a little distracting. the only models i've seen that are successful with capes are the mandalorians/fetts model pack and the royal guard/kanos/jax model pack. and do you know why? because the capes are short and/or pulled back off their shoulders.
so maybe you'd consider giving jerec a shawl, you know, like old ladies wear? didn't think so. :laugh6:
keep up the great work, fellas! :D
Just thought I'd update everyone....
Started school the beginning of this week so I'm extremely busy and haven't had a chance to touch the skin in about a week. I've also got some medical problems I'm dealing with(nothing too serious), so I'm a bit overwhelmed at the moment. Hopefully when I get my life in order I can finish it up. Otherwise I'll just find someone to pass it on to.
Hope you get better soon.
I have kept quiet long enough!
This model is going to rock like you Maw model did Madjai. Also, with Inbred doing the skin, this model WILL be classic! Please more updates whenever you are ready Inbred!
Good luck in your school and health indevores!
I can't wait to fight Jerec again!
Me too Sith. Jerec was such a classic bad guy/ bastard. It will be good to have a model of him again.
This one should wear his cape while he's fighting. Or have one of him with it and one of him without it.
Yeah Jerec was a real bastard, he was very cool way better than that Desann lizard thing!
Had some time to work on Jerec today, so here's an update:
http://www.geocities.com/inbredyokel2000/jerec3.txt)
Still a lot left to do, but I guess a little progress is better than no progress.
looks very nice....hope you add a shader or something to the shoulder pads though. it'd look best shiny.
I plan on using a shader on the shoulder pads and maybe the boots(depending on whether it looks cheesy or not).
Sounds like a plan Inbred! You seem to have everything under control!
Great work!
Inbred..I have only one word to describe it....AMAZING! you are an awesome skinner my friend, I could use your help on my Emperor skin. maybe you could tweak my facial texture to capture the essence of Palpatine better
Wow. That is an excellent skin. What else have you worked on?

love the job on the chest clothing, looks extremely professional.
In response to the inquiry about other projects, I did this skin about a month ago(and Maw)

If anyone is bored they can head on over and have a look see. I haven't released it yet because I've been too lazy to record/assemble a decent sound pack or do bot support.
um i noticed something wrong with your corran horn model/skin/whatever. Corran doesnt have sideburns yet you gave them to him.
http://www.geocities.com/inbredyokel2000/Corran2.txt)
Minor detail but i just thought i would let you know.
I know he doesn't, but I wasn't really going for an exact match because of the limitations of the luke model. I just added the sideburns in because without them he looked a little girlish.
Where can I download that skin?
Haven't gotten to the soundpack quite yet so it hasn't been released. If you pm your email to me I can send it to you when it's eventually ready though.
I'd PM it, but the PM system wasn't working last I checked. Any other was I can get it to you?
I can just PM you when I release it. It will be a while though.
do u think u could send me what u have now? im doing the gfx for the JK TC site and they r waiting on me, i really need that model....what u have so far will do, just so long as that i can view his head and sholders in the model veiwer. my email is csdt575@aol.com
hey hows jerac coming along
Jerec!
Hey, Madjai and Inbred.
Just to let you know, Maw is my favorite model so far(except for chewie and yoda, but I only use those for special occasions, and all three are on the same level).
Of course that's just because he's from jk1, and it's temporary till I can have Jerec.
He's got to be one of my favorite enemies, and my favorite jk1 skin(used it all the time when playing mp jk1).
Jerec looks fantastic, the model and skin look great, no, let me amend that, incredible.
You guys make a great team, keep it up!

A little update...
I've had a lot of spare time the last couple of days(and I'll have even more tomorrow), so I'm about 80% done with the default skin. I'm guessing I'll be finished tomorrow, which brings up the question of team skins. I was originally planning on just recoloring a few parts, but that seems like a copout to me. Anyone have any ideas or care to take a shot at a team skin? It's up to Madjai of course as far as anyone else skinning him is concerned, but I certainly wouldn't mind splitting up the work. All I ask is that I get dibs on a red ctf skin :D
I'd love to skin a red CTF version of him. If you wanna check out any of my work to see if you think I'm good enough....there is an Anakin Solo skin I did recently at jediknightii.net. Also there is a Jacen Solo skin at jediknight2files.com...but its under a diff name cuz the ppl there messed up for some reason. And it is also under the wrong category...its unders Star Wars models....dunno why those ppl at the website can't get it right:mad: . Anyway...also you can check out the Kit Fisto thread...Toonces let me skin the model also. There is a screeny of the head that I have completed.
Heck I'll just post some links here for you to take a look.

i dont think you read right bleek, inbredyokel wants to do the red skin. and i dont mind if you let someone else work on it.
Oh yeah I read that last part wrong. But anyhow...I'd luv to do a blue version then. I'm always looking for nice models to skin if a person doesn't feel like doing the skin themself. Wish I could figure out how to uvwmap cuz then I would do it myself....but skinning the Jerec model would be great!
Oh and if you want me to skin it then you can email me thru the forums.
So how is the skin of Jerec coming along, Inbred?
I am quite pumped for this!
The skin itself is basically done. I still need to add textures to the cloth, put a reflective shader on the inner armor, wrist/hand gauntlets, boots, shoulderpads, and belt, and I need to test it out in-game and adjust brightness/saturation. I'll post a shot as soon as things are a bit more finalized. And bleek, if you want a shot at skinning blue you're more than welcome to. I've seen some of your work on the kit fisto model and it looks quite excellent. Unfortunately, I won't have time to send you everything until tomorrow night, mostly due to the fact that I'm working 20 hours today and tomorrow, and I have to write a research paper for monday. Damn, college is fun.
Good thing I dun got college for another year or so:p . No prob..send it over if you want whenever you can, no rush. I just finished the Kit Fisto skin I was working on so I'm all free:D .
Inbredyokel, that skin is beautiful. This is another model I await.
I just have to echo keo's sentiments, the skin and the model are really dead on, great work guys :)
And bleek, have I mentioned recently that I love your work? ;) Looks great, you have great eye for detail
gorgeous model. although I didn't like Jerec as a bad, this model is very nice.
Thx Toonces:p . Well, if you ever have a model you need a skinner for...I'd luv to!!! I see a flaw in my Jerec skin so far though:( .....he seems so pale. I'm trying to add some orange-ish colors to parts of his face and blend that in. Post some pics when I get it looking better.
Fixed his face some and gave him a sorta buzzcut look:D .

Looking very nice bleek. I like what you did with the strap on the back of his head. Only thing I can suggest is to soften the lines a bit and add some slight shading behind the temples and cheeks to make him look a little thinner.
