Sorry I've been away for awhile, everybody. One of the best strategies is to angle yourself a little bit, so you're not square-on. That lets you back up a bit further on the ring you're jumping from, so that you get that much more speed as you leap...  [Read More]

Hmm, here's what I don't get, about 1/3 of the way thru the .gif, you see obi-wan use a force push. This quite clearly is a Maul force push, not an Obi force push. Also, no one is taking damage here, otherwise you'd see either Maul's health meter dw...  [Read More]

OK, I'm sorry, but THAT is frickin' sweet. Here's my guess: 1. Swapped out the Maul model with the Obi-Wan model, the anim order is different, so one of Maul's animations is actually replaced by Obi's death anim. 2. Used the 'iamquigon' cheat to r...  [Read More]

Yes, don't follow them in there ;) Just one of our sick level designers making trouble. The starfighter droid is keyed to explode when Obi comes near, so yes, the only way to save the men is to not go near them....  [Read More]

I created all the models/anims in 3dsMax, versions 1.2 and 2. The textures were done by a lot of cropping of actual costume/prop photos from Lucasfilm in Adobe Photoshop 4 and then cleaned up in Dpaint. The worlds themselves were built in a Big Ape-...  [Read More]

Congrats to Jedi72, you got 'em! I checked on David Bowie, and he was indeed re-used on both the Escape from Theed level AND on Coruscant - I would have accepted either. I'm putting together the TPM attachment as we speak...but it may take a week or...  [Read More]

Hmm - I may have to check on one of yours, Jedi72, you have 1 definitely right, 2 definitely wrong, and one other that I'm not sure about. The level designers may have re-used a character on multiple levels, and while I'm thinking of one location in...  [Read More]

Well, I'm pretty sure it's not an 'abandoned' section. I'm pretty sure what you're seeing is the results of poor tagging of particular pieces. One of the ways we brought our framerate up is to tag various pieces to NOT render unless the character mov...  [Read More]

The in-game characters do use the Jedi Knight method of model construction and texturing, although we changed the lighting on the models. The backgrounds were built using Big Ape's own proprietary tool, which also has texturing, AI construction and e...  [Read More]
