Ive enjoyed a nice long rest from modeling and now by request have started a model of Gimli from LOTR. You can find pics on my site http://hansmoleman.cjb.net) . As youll see its only the begining but I have a feeling things will move fast with this week being winter break and all. Anyway, post you comments here, unfortunately I'll be leaving in like for the weekend in like 30 mins so I wont be able to see what you've posted until monday, but ill look forward to reading any ideas that might have accumulated by that time.

hey what a coincedence hansmoleman and Elessar-Eдrfalas I just started Legolas!

Great Work!, I was the origional Request guy for this model. It will be integrated in my Battle at Helms Deep Mod..Also got someone doing legolas..Kepp uop the good work Hansmoleman!

new Gimli shots on my site, you can see I have finished the arms and will probably get somekind of head going this weekend. what do yall think?

on a side note although i was planning to do the skin myself if anyone else wants to give it a try send me an e-mail or something and ill see what i can do for you.

great!

its awesome!
ive always admired your work (i liked the watto and moleman)

good job on the gimli and legolas models.

if you'd like to join the LOTR TC, we'd be very greatful for your help, considering we only have 1 character modeler, and he really wants some help with the fellowship models. as the only models hes working on right now are the Orcs and Sauron.

heres a link to the LOTR TC homepage Linky (http://www.lotr-tc.coolfreepage.com/)

the page hasn't been updated in a while as there have been no major updates other than my weapons, and those you can see on the forums.

and again, good job!

i know this project thread is pretty much dead, and the project was too up until about a week ago when i actually realized im still doing this model. if anyone still cares i posted some new pictures on my site. finished the head, unfortunately im using a modified kyle katarn hair style but that will soon change as im adding a helm and probably redoing the hair as well. so check it out and tell me what you think.

edit: almost forgot, i am getting ready to skin this guy, if any expereinced skinners would like to help me with that it would be greatly appreciated.

OHHH That looks WONDERFUL! Thanks for the update Hans.

I think it looks really good also.

ok now the helmet's done and you can check it out on my site. from the pics there its kind of hard to get a real idea of what it looks like but im hoping once the model is skinned, which is what im gonna do now, it will look much better.

yaaaay, :) im happy you are back , looks very good :cool: :cool:

Woohoo! another LOTR model in the works, the Watto model was great, and this looks good, too, keep them coming, hansmoelman :)

Looks good on overall apperance. (Gotta love that facial expression.)

The only problem I noticed is the depth of his head being a little large. If I remember Gimli right, it should be about 70/ 80% of it's current width back-to-front.

Other than that, great work.

Is the WIP still underway? I would love a Gimli model!

yeah, im still working on it. today i finished the uvmapping and im weighing it basically as i type. hopefully ill get throw some unskinned screenshots to you all soon but till then help me with this error which occurs then i try to assimilate it:

-------- C:\jk2\GameData\base\models\players\gimli\model.ca r --------

XSI import failed, code = 12 (file 'c:/jk2/gamedata/base/models/players/gimli/ro

( Press any Key ... )

ive never had this error before..or maybe i have but dont remember the solution. either way i need someones help for this one.

one last word ill need to start putting together some beta testers for Gimli. just a couple will be needed so they can posts screenshots (so i dont have to) and give me tips.

<--------- I love beta testing your models.

UPDATE!


Yes, I've got in contact with Hansmoleman (finally, jeez).
He has promised me if someone skins it, he will FINISH the model COMPLETLY.

How do you skin anyway?

Extract assets0.pk3 (At least the Player part of it) and when you extract it, go to the very root of the directory player, and then find a model you want to skin, and then read this tutorial (http://www.theforce.net/games/jo/skinning.shtml) :D

OT Really looking forward to this model, keep up the good work

I may be of some assistance with the skins

has hans considered asking some skinners like jp-30 or inbredyokel??? they seem to be excellent at what they do

yea i agree.

Thanks a bunch!

man I thought this was dead a long time ago! Glad it ll be finished

Iґve followed this thread since itґs beginning and I donґt want to see this model die.
Arenґt there any good skinners (looking in your direction jp-30) who are abled and willing to finish this model. Itґs just a skin thatґs needed. I would do it myself if I had any idea about skinning and the time for it.
Please save Gimli.

Well, I convinced him to try to skin it...about a month or so ago..well he said he decided not to finish it. He also said he might finish it later..

Happy to skin it if necessary for a release. :)

It wasn't ingame either, I believe.

HansMoleman posted in the last update of his website that heґs still looking for a skinner to finish this model.

Found one, he has. ;)

When I knew he was working on it, I talked to him a lot on ICQ. But he told me otherwise. That is a old post by him.
