I need a bit more info than a little pocket please...like where, how little or how big?, what does it look like?

That's still possible, i'll just create a separate mesh and weight it 100% to 1 bone. The uvmap of the pocket will be added on the current torso texture.

look at the right side of his Torso , it a very little flat pocket :

I have skinned a belt,... maybe you can model that too
look at the second pic for the belt....

very much THNX !!!! :) ;)

I could do the pocket. I think we wont see much of it, most of the time the left arm covers that part. try to skin it and see how it looks, this will give you a good idea on how it'll be visible.

The belt is already there (the torso_hips surface) i could add a little "bump" on it so you can have that silver thingy?.

From a distance it wont get noticed much.

Just send me the new skins (for the belt), i'll also fix some uvw maps.

that pocket dosent need to be modelled onto the model does it? you can just add it to the texture... thats much easier cuase like scout said, its very flat... hope you guys know what i mean;)
 Scouttrooper
01-20-2003, 5:06 PM

@ SCOUTTROOPER ok heres what i have so far, aliens are tough to find, but things non-human sounding can be seen as alien.

this might be good for a taunt. http://wavcentral.com/movies/lost_world.html) click on lwdino.mp3

this one sounds kinda trippy http://sounds.wavcentral.com/effects.htm) click on 2757.mp3

this place has alot of good stuff, but this i found to be more cooler http://www.meanrabbit.com/wavhtml/wavepage3.htm) click on horror.zip this zip file has like 20 sounds. but i really liked the first link i put on above. and i replyed to your message.

Hi...

The jump taunt is almost finished...

Its hard to make a death sound and taunts for an Aqualish.

Maybe in the end of this week i send you some samples.

:)

Hey all! I'm just gonna say one thing.
The pocket cant be skinned without an actuall model of it, cuz if u try, it will happen on both sides of the vest.
[Edit: And can u try to model the, ehm, things on his arms on the vest?]

Cheers!

Wolfey is right!

I can unwrap a small part for the left side of the vest so it can be painted only on that side and not both.

Im going to model the Senator version of the Aqualish specie too !!!!
Does that mean i'll have to weight another freak? that wasnt part of the deal! ;P

I plan on finishing Ponda today but i dunno how long it will take...

That image is copyrighted to me and neomarz...you should have asked first...but it's no big deal, you can use it ;)

I'm not gonna model the ripples on the jacket, because first of all it's not my job, Scouttrooper asked me to weight the model...and that's what i'm doing!. As a bonus i fixed errors in the mesh and uvw mapping.

And i guess making those "lines" would require much more polys.

So for now i say: nope...

Scout: I've done a small tutorial on how to use the skin modifier...i will add more sections when i have time.

If you happen to read it, you could give me some feedback so i can know how helpful it is for "beginners".

That should have been done before weighting and segmentation (for export reasons i had to detach the face, too many verts) but i can make the head a bit rounder and fix the cheeks.

I've just sent the updated GLM to u Scout.

I didnt do much for the cheeks, i dont have any pics to see how smooth they need to be.

Can the beta testers check any problems with the caps?

What is the command to activate dismemberment?, it never works for me! unless i play on-line.

Skin/mapping , releasing:

i realy need someone for it :( it looks not good , the head and jacket realy need some good skinning/skinmapping work ,.. please help me, so i can release this one and finish up the other ones

Ponda Baba Sounds:

I have record some sounds of Ponda Baba when he is in the cantina, when he graps lukes shoulder, he is talking a little weirdo stuff, and when he lost his hand he's screaming a little, think i can use it for the dead sound (not tested),

Ponda Baba Shaders:

It already has a glowy eye shader but if you look at his neck, you can see lotta hair on it, i realy like to know how i can add a hair shader on the pondababa model neck... someone must know it, its also used on the Wookie model. Can someone tell me how ?
 Psyk0Sith
02-27-2003, 2:34 PM

Load up the wookie in modview that'll answer a lot of questions...you basically extrude faces and use TGA alpha channels to "remove" parts of the polygon that will not be seen...creating what appears to be strands of hair.

hello everybody,
scouttrooper send me, I am supposed to say something but I don't have a clue what to say..... oh, I should just ramble something, ok that shouldn't be to hard..... well last I was at a party with my mandalorian armour on and... oh, it should be something about the skin or model ... ok.. hmm..

well okthe model looks really good, but the skin isn't really good, its too... wel there should be more ehm... you know... like... you should see some wrinkles in his *buttface*.. the jacket... its too... too..... pure... no jacket in the world could be so much orange, it could not stay that clean, especially on tatooine it would be more wheatered.

well I really think someone should help scout with it, otherwise scouttrooper shouldn't release it :P

theze are 3 prizes the guy/girl/thing who does the skinmapping thing can chose between these 3 things

1. 50 points + those 50 points from scouttrooper makes 100 points !!!!

2. A brand new car !!!!! oh... wait we are out of cars... ok hehe :D ... how about a free chance to betatest Mandalorian Revenge.. (this could take a while though)

3. a Free bed and free food !!!
