Personally, i think that you have no right to call him a n00b. You spam with little 4 word posts. It gets really annoying. Every time i come to these forums and i look inside the threads, just about every other post is you with your little 4 words. No offence, of coarse, but i am just getting tired of it :rolleyes:

More to come

Well this doesn't have anything to do with Legolas really but if you are a modeler please read. Now just as Toonces is doing with my model I will need someone else to do with another model I am making. Toonces was so kind to help me I just couldn't ask him. I need someone to get my model in game and UVUnwrap it for me to skin. The model is a Link from the Legend of Zelda model. Its not anywhere near finished yet but I thought I'd get help before hand, so I you can help me please do!

Last time I heard from Toonces was in the Plo Koon model - he's quite busy with real life stuff, earning money to pay the bills. Stuff for the JO community comes second.

Besides, he doesn't have time for his own projects, let alone to help other people with theirs. It might just be time to buckle down and figure this one out on your own, Matt.

I would if I could but I don't have 3D studio max and even when I had someone helping me with it my carcass doesn't work properly and isn't letting it go ingame.

Ok this is probably good news for you all. My friend was looking at my work and he asked what program I was using and I said gmax but I need 3DSM and he said he new a couple guys with it and anyway I have it!:D I'm reading some tutorials for getting the model ingame right now. I have a skeleton and I'm fixing the model to it as I speak. I am totally confused really but I'll keep reading. I don't understand weighting and all that but I will try. So is this good news guys?

EDIT: With good news there always comes bad news. All was going fine until I tried putting him through Assimilate. I need help in trying to fix this error. Go here (http://lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=92302) for more details.

I've successfully gotten Legolas in the game. The only problems with it at the moment is something is wrong with the right legs mesh, it doesn't work properly in game no matter how it is weighted, when I fixed it up with a temporary cylinder as the leg it worked ok, so I'll just have to build a new right leg, no big deal. The rest of the problems are simple clipping issues which just require a little tweaking to get right, so it should be too long now. Here are some screens.

wow, this is so awsome!
are the hands one of the clipping issues? Because it looks like he's holding the saber with his wrists.

other than that looks great!!!
a sweet model like this needs an absolutely great skin.

Thank you so much! You are so cool! Will you be able to do Link after to? When you get him Unwrapped please send me the new file for me to skin!

Yeah, I'll do link also.
It will probably be a day or two before I get the errors worked out on Legolas, then I'll start unwrapping him this weekend.

I've just thought of something. Since he is ingame and I will soon be skinning him he needs some sounds. If anybody can get me the following sounds it would be great!

Attacking
Getting Hurt
Dieing (Since he doesn't in the movie just an over exagurated hurting sound)
Taunts

And any other sounds you can find really. Also for a taunt I would REALLY like the line he uses in the Two Towers game for Xbox, Ps2 and Gamecube where he says "Back to the pits that spawned you!" it sounds really cool and would be AMAZING for a taunt!
