The skin? No not yet, I'll be doing that after we get it ingame.
There will be 6 skins. A Default Red and Blue Legolas skin and A Default Red and Blue Mordor Elf skin.

Making the model and not getting it compatible took me about 4-5 weeks I think.

Goto User CP, Edit Options, scroll down to a Button called Change Avatar, Click it then scroll down and you can either use a link or upload a new one. But please guys stay on topic.

Well Toonces says he was going to look over Legolas. He asked if I needed it to be Unwrapped and I said yes and he said it would take considerably more time. I haven't heard anything else so lets keep our fingers crossed!

I've been following this thread pretty silently this whole time, but I have to speak out and commend you Matt. A lot of models are worked on but no one ever tells you anything. No updates you know? But you've kept us posted this entire time and for that, I think I speak for all of us here when I say thank you.

Just one more thing. I think I also speak for everyone here when I say...GIVE ME THE :swear: MODEL! I WANT LEGOLAS! :D


Just kidding and no I am not typing this from a mental institution. :rolleyes:

Just kidding that you are commending me?:p

Anyway thanks for the compliment I know how annoying it is to be waiting for a model and not hear from the author in weeks on end so I always give you the news as I hear it so keep looking for updates!

A little update for you guys, It's going to take me a bit of time since I have to do the uv's on the model so I ask for your patience.

I'll keep everybody posted on my progress. Once I get the UV's done I'll send the maps out to Matt and he can start skinning

Thank you very much Toonces for helping me. Is the model working fine? It will work ingame right, once you fit everything to the skeleton? And about skinning it, that will be great! How ever, to test the skins wouldn't I need the ingame model? I'll wait to skin it until its ingame I think. Anyways thanks again for your help and keeping me updated.

It may be passible to make a skin with this armour though.

that's what i was gonna ask, could there be an alternate version w/ armor? you might not even have to add to the model, just skin it on and get Toonces to come up with a reflective shader (he's good at that stuff).
 Matt-Liell
02-02-2003, 9:38 AM
#191
I'll tell you what, when Toonces is finished and when I start skinning him I'll make the other 6 first then I'll try Rohan armour like in the pic above.

 Matt-Liell

other 6 skins I meant. I'll do the 3 Legolas' the 3 Mordor Elves and then I'll try the Rohan armoured one.
