FATTEH
still sick, but I got some work in...small update

Sorry to hear you're Ill, Jolts. Remember - lots of fluids.
The model is coming along nicely... Obi's hair should be taller, though. It wasn't that short in the movie. Everything else looks good - can't wait to see it skinned.
-Anakin

Exactly.
Looking very good, Jolts! The ponytail looks a little thick where it meets the back of the head... perhaps consider thinning it a bit.
And the hair could still go just a bit higher.
-Anakin
Jolts, his nose is slightly too long. Just shorten that while moving up his mouth and chin with it. His hairline can come down a tad, and the hair should be alot bigger on both the top and the sides. Check the pic. Im looking forward to this model by the way. Do you know how to get it ingame?

copy & paste
pulled jaw/lips and the hair up a little, not so much out tho...

Nose is still too long and wide actually. Shorten it some more, with the jaw and lips moved up also. The hair needs to be bigger still.
made an obj pack of the first lod for the body if anyone wants to tinker around with it, no uvmaps.

right click on link and so save target as to download it
Oooo, updates are looking good Jolts, no crits from me (yet). :)
wired lamp studios work is starting to kick into high gear so I'm not sure how much time I'm going to have to work on this anymore. If anyone is interested in helping with making lods/uvmaps give a yell out and let me know.

How about asking Toonces? He's almost done with Qui-Gon so that leaves some room on his plate... this model is good - I would hate to see it just sit on the shelf.
-Anakin
Jolts, any progress on the head?
small tweaks update
http://geocities.com/joltsone/twk1.txt)
anakin: I figured since he has his own ep1 obi wan wip he just started that he's kind of busy doing his own
The top of his hair needs to be bigger and more squareish. Hey, Is it possible for you to get a base skin on the model? It would be alot easier to articulate to you the necessary adjustments. That is, if you have enough time to work on this thing.
At this time no, I don't have the time to do a simple base skin for it. I work on this inbetween breaks from drawing/modelling my wls stuff and real work.
I actually meant is there someone who can do it for you? If not, then thats fine. I agree that you should ask Toonces about rigging your model. It couldn't hurt.
oh, I don't know anyone who can do it for me, texture guys for wls are busy. I'll email toonces see what he says then...
btw anyone download that model .obj pack of the body I posted? I'm going to take it down soon to clear up some space.
How si this coming?
Looking Nice too Jolts u finish it i will add u to my modelr list
trying to get some free time to clean up the topology of the face, also talking to toonces about texturing it. He said he was willing so I emailed off a recent version of it for him to play with, just waiting on a email back from him.
I was playing with the new tools in maya 4.5 and deformed out my obiwan head into something similar to anankin...not that similar tho
http://geocities.com/joltsone/ani.txt)
its only about 15 minutes worth or tinkering
You should talk to Mars(NeoMarz1 on the forum) if you want to get it textured. He's really good and he's helping Toonces with the skinning of his Obi-wan model as well. Should be too hard for him to port his skin over to your model. Or maybe do a completely new one.
Just a little update from me, Jolts and I have exchanged a few e-mails and I'm going to unwrap and rig the model as soon as I'm finished with "The Three"
I really dig the model, I had him in Max last night and was checking him out, very nice mesh, should be easy to unwrap :)
So glad you guys finally got together on this. :D
Should be an exciting couple of weeks... several heavily anticipated models will be coming out, with more on the way. Just can't wait!
sounds good to me. I'm going to send you this new head see what what your think, maybe it could work as a temp ani head instead of marz texturing over obiwans face?
slammed on the over flapping things...whatever you call them
http://geocities.com/joltsone/ani2.txt)
not perfect but could be a filler until ter's like marz is doing with tex's obiwan.
Cool, I'll check out the new head :) Looks great
Toonces I just sent it off to you, check your mail.
Jolts, could you model Anakin's cape-like robe as well (so we can have Anakin with and without his robe)?
It would be very cool! :D
wish I could, but I don't have the time....this is all just like an hour and half worth deforming obiwan into anakin. Someone else could add it on later, and ter's will have it I think.

That's alright. I understand. ;)
Wow, I can't wait to see these guys skinned! They look really good!
Also, it's nice seeing both versions side by side for comparison.
Hey there Jolts, I could try and uvw map and skin him. Don't know for sure about the uvw mapping, that would be my second uvw mapping project.
Damnit, I should have read the entire page :P, I'd still like to skin him though
which model did you want to skin?
Uhhh, both if I could find the time. :D Can you send them both, so I can decide?
grafox@quicknet.nl
jolts, did this obi wan USED to be the generic jedi model, because i was REALLY REALLY lookin forward to tath?
I'm still planning on releasing the body seperate. But first I need lods and uvmaps for it.
Jolts, This is looking really good, I'd love to skin him. I talked to toonces about morphing his Obi model to Anakin. It looks like all the major characters are gonna come out together. This is truly a cool moment. It's amazing how these models have not made it on the scene sooner. Keep it rolling, Mars out!
I can help if you need crits Jolts. Actually, it'll be easier once at least a base skin is on it.
marz and graf you guys should email toonces since he has both model now and is uvmapping/rigging/texturing them. To make it easy I'll continue to send model updates to him.
I still want to get the generic jedi model sdk out also, which would be obiwans body with all lods and uvmaps in obj/dxf/3ds formats.
I can't wait to see some kind of skin on this puppy (well, on any of them really :)) Everything looks good on the modeling side, and between Mars and Grafox you're bound to get some awesome skins.
Just got reply, Toonces says that he will send me some stuff soon. Can't wait to skin him. Maybe me and Gray can work on this together. Mars out!
whatever you guys want to do is cool with me. Just make it look super mad ultra omega dope funky fresh cool.

What do you suggest?
It's really two models, the Obi and the Skywalker, Mars is going to do the Anakin one, and you asked to do the Obi GraFox so it's all good :D
Were you thinking of doing an open sdk as well Jolts? I know you mentioned that in one of your e-mails :)
For the body yes. I think people could use one, its a simple body that gives people a good start I think.
I have some updates to the head models, and I'm gonna fix anakins flapper jack things too. I need a test texture to get a better idea of what needs to change on the models.
Oh, got ya :) I'm going try and start on the uv's tonight, I think I'll be able to find the time to at least get some of it finished
