Hey Matt after Link and the other elf (don't know his name) do you think you'll make Marth and Roy models.

I'm kinda guess when you make this you'll make Team Skins Red Tunic for the Goron tunic and Blue Tunic for the Zora Tunic. Red and Blue Team skins wondering if thats a plan of yours? and if you make the shield on the back are you gonna make the Hylian Shield or The Mirror Shield just wondering sorry for all my questions.

Z included. :p

Eh, mine won't be good for the pack. I'm just bored and want something to do. :D

Release dates? Hmmmmm, hard to see that is. The dark work time clouds everything. Well I might be able to skin Legolas next week. And I'm going to send Link to KevinCoyle after I he finishes with Link. So *check calender* maybe March 16th (For Link) at the latest I believe at this point, maybe sooner. Sound ok? For Legolas it'll be sooner.

I am still wondering about that question of mine. You talked about maybe making a shield on his back my question is which would it be the Hylian Shield or The Mirror Shield. Also will Link have team skins Like Blue Team=Zora Tunic and Red Team=Goron Tunic just wondering sorry if I'm being annoying.

Yes the tunics will come in R, B and G. And as for the sheild the polycount is getting too high for it.

I don't know if that was an offer becuase you think I need a skinner becuase I don't becuase I'm going to skin it but if you wanted to try to skin it for a skinpack then you'll have to wait for it to be finished and ingame.

Lol roms ARE legal...

You have to have the actual game if you download the rom, if you don't then you have to delete it within 24 hours. If you don't do that, THEN it's illegal. Lol. :P

Umm... Nice idea for a model (I'm a Zelda fan :)) but...why are his ears like that lol? Why are they sideways... they go like:

\:)/ not like <:mad:>...lol

His sword 'holster' as you call it, is not a quiver... It's not that thick, and not at an angle...

One other question are you gonna make master sword as selectable hilt as well like you gonna make a Master Sword to go with this cause the sword out there is ok but you could probably make a better one.

well, I didn't know I was on Lucasfourm, anyway.

his Tunic looks too tight, it needs to be looser, atleast have sleeves. there's some I just can't put my finger on about his head, I think it's a little tall and he has too much hair, not WAYtoo much but he needs a trim if you ask me. his feet look like they're a tad big, and he needs his gauntlets.

don't take me too seriously I'm not trying to tharsh your work, I just pointed out the things I saw that needed fixed.

No not months perhaps 3 weeks though, maybe more. I'm going to be skinning Legolas for awhile.

oh, that's what they all say, just 3 weeks, then it's 3 months...then three years...then JK3 comes out(or an expansion) and then you dump the model for good......unless you're a worker(shudders at the thought of working) then you'll get both done in 2 weeks.
 Matt-Liell
03-05-2003, 6:15 PM

I would if I could but I also have school but I won't dump the model unless I absolutly have to. I may not skin it though any takers for that?

Hi, I'm new here, and I was looking at this model and I really think it needs work. His face doesnt look like Link at all. Since when does Link have a Jay Leno chin? I'm not saying this to diss you or anything, I just think that it needs work. Look at that ref pic that one dude posted. Good luck on the model

Off Topic: I remember this Samus model from Metroid Prime people were talking about, the pic was on another forum and I was wondering what the website is. I got a new computer, so all my links are gone. Thanks in advance!

Yes, when I'm done you can use it. And about asking nintendo's permission I don't think I have to beacuse I'm not making any money of of him.

With the Master Sword, try making the blade a little fatter, or wider I should say, cuz it looks awfully thin. You know I have Ocarina of Time for the Gamecube, so I can help point out the little things that modellers want people not to see:)

Just so you guys know this isn't dead I'll give you an update. Due to the overwhelming request for his shield I plan to make him one but this will cause the loss of his master sword in the scabbard, but he will come with a lightsaber replacement. I'm working on fixing all the things you guys pointed out to me! So again hes not dead! He's just on a slight work hold but I'm still working on him!

I've always wanted to do a Link model for Jedi Outcast, but I'm horrible at creating characters - not to mention my inability to UVMap.

But I have take pieces from other existing models to make my own custom one.

I have 3D Studio Max - If you'd like, once you get it UVMapped, I could weight the vertices, export it, and get it working as a .glm for ya.

Or if you wish I could *try* to UVMap it, but I have no freakin' clue how to do it right, without seperating meshes.

Send me an E-mail (PsychoDelAcK@hotmail.com) if you're interested in my offer.

Hey Matt, e-mail me and I'll help you with the model. I'd also like to ask you about your methods of creating faces...

The sword, IMO looks a little too thin. Its a lot wider in Zelda. Anyways, contact me and I'll help ya out as best I can. Oh, I can make textures too :).

Update (and for those of you who thought I'd never start work again, well told you so!)

I added a sheild to him and made his shirt baggier and made the ears point backwards more.

Polycount is currently 3018, not bad at all!:D
