:confused: :confused: :confused:
While I wouldn't mind seeing a robed Plo Koon, my personal preference is probably uncloaked, as he was in the Arena in Ep 2. The reason for this is I figure the Jedi should be in the clothes they would be most likely to fight in. However, I don't prefer this version very much more than robed, whatever version the modeller wants to do is great :D
like on the tyrion model, were u can switch from robed to battle wear as u please.
Cant wait for the Plo Koon Model Any Longer!
Well guys, I've got the first images of Plo Koon, and I must say, I don't think anyone will be dissapointed. Its better than I even imagined it would be:) Anyway, I'll let you guys be the judge. Only problem is. I need someone to help me out with aplace to host the Image:( So as soon as I find a home for the image, I'll put it up :D

/me is extremely amazed
Whoa....that's just eerie. I can't even imagine what it will look like skinned.
WOW! I'm very impressed. If skinned properly, this is going to be mind-bogglingly good :D
Good thing his garb is pretty simple, the polycount on the face must be impressive. I am Re-impressed, never quite saw something so detailed.
Im on my knees, thats so good
That is Amazing... You kick ass!
OMG, that's unbelievable!!!
Kinja, your friend truly is talented, i can't wait to see this model skinned, this is going to be one heck of a model!
hehe i hate to be the whiny biotch here, but he is going to do the body too right?
hehe yeah and i would like to see the polycount on that too :)
Well, Hes knows the specs. And trust me it will look awsome when done and will also be within specs. Body and all, hehe.
Wow! That is amazing! Is this thing going to have LODs?
that's fluckin awsome!!!!!!!!
Hats Off!
Man, these models just keep getting better and better!
All this great work is so inspiring...
Who is going to do the skin? Same as the modeller? Who is this masked man?

There are 1100 polys in the head which is about exactly the same as my Yoda model:)

thats a good one of him.
Hey ya'll, heres a statement from the maker of Plo Koon:
"Hello there, I have a couple of things I would like you all to know: First,
a completed PLO KOON mesh should be finished by early next week (sorry it
can't be any sooner but I do have other modeling duties which come first,
though there is nothing more fun than Star Wars). Texturing or "skinning"
will be taken care of soon after. Second, I've talked to Kinja on several
occasions about doing a model for JKII, and he and I have gone over the
polygon restrictions. Rest assured that when PLO KOON is finished he will
be within the proper poly budget. In fact, he is coming along very
smoothly. His head, which I have released a screenshot of, falls into my
personal 1/3 of the polys for the head, 2/3 of the polys for the body
scheme. Relax, everything is fine. Finally, I'd like like to say that
though I will not be posting (save, an occasional message relayed through
Kinja, like this one) I do read the posts often and I am aware of the
costume differences. Here's where you come in. I would like to know which
costume you folks (the ones who want to see this model happen), would like
to see modeled. Will it be robes or no robes, or something else? So for
those of you who want a say in the creation of this model, make sure you get
your vote to Kinja, and when I sit down on Sunday (6/30) at 7:00 to model
the body it will be the one that you wanted (that is, if you're in the
majority). Thanks."
Thanks for the Update Kinja and Kinja's friend;)
On the topic of robes or no robes...tough to say. Personally, I really like the way he loked in the Arena in Episode 2, with his robes. It seems as if the Jedi Masters more so wear robes, unless they get into a REALLY intense battle and the robes start bothering them.
Here is an image with him in robes.

Thanks for making this model and keep up the great work, this could turn out to be the best model yet;)
all i have to say is Kinja you did it again!
Isn't it possible to make both? If I had to make a choice though I'd go for without the robe.
Sweet! Can't wait for an update! :koon:
I'm going to vote for In-Robes, if that's what he wears in the Arena, those must be his fighting-clothes of choice :) It looks the most Plo Koon-ish :D
Well, I think there all cool, but I would say thier all equally Plo Koonish, seeing how they are all... well, Plo Koon:) But I guess we'll let the vote decide!

Theres something about him in robes which makes him look more like an established Jedi Master....can't put my finger on it.
Also, this question may be coming way early, but will there be plans to allow this PLO KOON model to have full bot support and possibly a SP mod to allow to play with/against him in SP?
to switch from robe to area wear!:koon: :koon: :koon: :koon: :koon: :koon: :koon: :koon:
No robes.
The robes are very cool, but I don't like the way the engine handles robes. I like robes better but without the robes it would animate better, clip less, deform less, etc.
See, personally, I agree with BradFu [for the exact same reason actually]. Once enough models are done I plan on tossing them into the Geonosis Arena and see what happens. Thus, robbed would be nice... but I have to agree with Nano from a technical standpoint. So with heavy heart I add my voice to the no-robes vote.
Although, if both could be done, without putting too much strain on a man [woman?] who seems to have professional commitments to keep, seeing both versions would both be nice and would allow for a whole multitude of reskinning possibilities.
There are, of course, more Kel Dor than our friend Master Plo Koon. The no-robes version could be used for more un-Jedi-like skins as well as some Jedi, and the robes could be used occasional formal Jedi attire.
i'd like to see the robed version. for reasons, see above. :)
I personally have not seen Plo w/o his robes... So I think it would be quite difficult to make if you dont have a pic to go by... Correct me if Im wrong...
I would have to see Plo w/o His robes before I can vote tee hee.

This model is going to be amazing!!!
If someone wants to post a reference pic (or email it to chronofanatik@yahoo.com) I will attempt to make his saber hilt.
WITHOUT ROBES
Robes are so unrealistic in JO! Plo Koon looks better in robes, I agree. That's his fighting clothing of choice, I agree also. But he wasn't flipping/running/jumping around like crazy in the arena. Play and look at monmothma and tell me if that looks realistic. Robes look nice when static or little movement. Than there is the clipping.
