Nasty - from what has been said I would have to say that Kman is doing ep. 2 Obi wan and Arco is doing padawan Obi Wan and Qui-Gon

Yeah, Sith Lord has it right, I'll just be getting the models rigged properly and in game :)

The models themself are extremely well built and should be really easy to skin and to get animated

I havent been able to begin to work on the models yet, the uvmaps are missing, and one of the max files won't open. I e-mailed quamosity and we'll be able to get this resolved as soon as I hear from him

Very interesting...this is very good news indeed...Do we know when the first skinned pic of these models can appear....

Well as soon as i get the uvmaps all I am gonna do is skin. So expect pics from me a couple of hours after I get the model and uvmaps!

I am going to really go all out on this one I already have some ref pics but I need MORE. So anybody that has links etc to qui gon ref pics send em my way. I am making (well i am gonna try to) photorealistic... which isn't often done by me but the mesh looks so great it just has to be done.

I think toonces said they are already mapped but if not he is gonna go over em. And then it's off to skin quigon for me. Not sure if i wanna do ep1 obi. And you are doing ep2 obi kman? (you lucky dog.)

Quamosity sent me three max files (Pad-Obi, Qui-Gon, and one other that had an error, I think it's episode 2 Obi) as well as some exported .uvw's that refuse to import into max.

I e-mailed quamosity, but he hasn't gotten back to me yet. Hopefully Tex can e-mail me the max files with proper texutre coords, or in some other format.

I talked to Tex about fixing up the model/getting it in .3ds format and he will work on that. He was busy with school and didn't have the time when I asked him, but he will get on it shortly. Sorry to keep you waiting, Toonces--but he will be making progress on it all.

Thanks

I can't open the max file for Episode II Obi-Wan, but K-man is skining him so it's all good

quamosity, If Tex doesn't have the time I can just unwrap him myself, it's not a problem :) All he needs are the texture coords and skining can begin

Tex would have earlier pics if he took any, I just got the models from him as is.

I like to keep people as updated as I can so as soon as skining starts I'll be sure to post some shots durring the various stages :)

Arco is going to skin Qui-Gon, and I think Episode 1 Obi, K-man is working on the Episode II Obi

Not to take anything away from the Episode 1 Obi, it's very good, but the Qui-Gon model is dead on accurate. I have total confidence that Arco is going to make a skin for Qui-Gon that will blow people away :D

A couple of thoughts on the subjects of the Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan (ep1/2) models. I don't know if the model themselves will be altered, but I hope so, 'cause I can see a few things that need to be more accurate. If Toonces or KMan or Tex will not be altering the models any further, please disregard the following points.

1) All 3 of the models have the same exact problem. The tabards are the wrong length below the belt. On Obi (both ep1/2), the tabards should be the same length as his kimono-like thing (the layer right underneath the tabards). That is to say, they should not extend any further *below* where the kimono ends below the belt. On Qui-Gon, the tabards hang down further, almost to his knees. They also are way too thick. They should only be as thick underneath the belt as they are individually above it. I also noticed on the back of the ep2 Obi that the tabards join together above the belt and are not separated at all below it. The tabards are two individual pieces, not one whole one. I assume this is also on the other 2 models, but I can't tell 'cause I can't see the back.

2) The padawan braid is WAY too long on Obi.

3) All 3 models (to a lesser degree with ep2 Obi) seem a little too bulky. I don't know if this is because of the screenshot or what, but Qui-Gon was definitely taller than Obi.

4) The eyes on all the models are placed too close together.

5) The boots stick out too far from the legs. They weren't skin tight in the movies, but they weren't as thick as they are in the pics either.

Sorry if this all seems a little nitpicky, I'm just trying to give some constructive criticism to help you all make the models even better than they already are. Keep up the good work!

You need to be less picky. Why do you want it to take longer to put these models in game. I dont care if the braid is too long and the eyes on all the models are placed too close together. It looks great without those changes you were talking about.

He was just giving contructive critisism, something I don't see you do. :mad:

About the braid, it is accurate size, just look at some pics.

Here are two reference pics for Obi Wan ep 1/2 that should put this to rest.

http://http://cgi.theforce.net/theforce/multimedia/imageFolio.cgi?action=view&link=Images/Episode_1/Characters/Qui-Gon_Jinn&image=qgj-ig07.jpg&img=112&tt=) This one shows how long Qui-Gon's tabards are supposed to extend.

http://cgi.theforce.net/theforce/multimedia/imageFolio.cgi?action=view&link=Images/Episode_1/Characters/Qui-Gon_Jinn&image=EWobi_qui.jpg&img=208&tt=) This one shows the correct colors of their clothing.

I haven't found a reference pic that proves that the tabards are split in the back, but I will. In the meantime, I hope this helps.

I spent a little time this morning unwraping Qui-Gons head. I got a little bored so I figured I'd see what I can do. As I mentioned earlier, the mesh is quite well built so it shouldnt be a problem for me to do

Qui-Gons tabbards are spit, as are teh others too, two seperate pieces of fabric.

Those pics also look fanned? The tabbards should be straight.

And Tercero said he'd do Ep1 Obi, so I'd defiantly like Qui-Gon done.

Is there anyway you can use Tereceros pouches?
