Heh, I'd love to see that, the ultimate showdown, the two polar oppisites of the force square off :D I'll have to talk to Kinja about getting Yoda in SP so I can get a few cool shots of him fighting our boy Sidious :D I had some fun in photoshop las...  [Read More]

Glad you like it :D Thanks alot for that pic! I hadn't seen it yet, that'll help me quite a bit when it comes to the wrinkles on his face. I modeled the head off shots of the emperor from episode VI, I think I pretty much nailed the shape of his...  [Read More]

I'd love to be able to nail the flowing robes. While I do have a friend with a copy of Softimage, he's not an animator and neither am I :( I might tweak the hood and the robe a little still, I'll have to see how things go. I UV mapped the face early...  [Read More]

Critisism is very welcome Dredd, I wouldnt have gotten as far as I did without some help :D I think it's the angle that I rendered it at that gives the look of his chest being wide. I had his shoulders quite a bit wider in earlier models, but after...  [Read More]

Heh, you made my day Adillon, thanks :D That's why I'm not going to touch him till I get a skin on him, so I can see what various effects I can do with the robe before I tweak any more. I love the effect I got with the bottom half of the robe Glad...  [Read More]

Thanks for the bumps, I'm glad you guys dig the model :D Here is another shot, it's not too diffrent from how it was before, mostly optimization and smoothing of some lines. I'm really happy with how the hood lays on the shoulders now. I still ha...  [Read More]

Alright, I know I promised screenies, they will hopefully come tommorow, the model looks pretty much the same as the last shots I've posted, his sleeves look much baggier, and I've almost nailed the face. Anyway, here's what's going on though. I've...  [Read More]

Unfortunatly I havent had time to work on him yet this week. I have a little block made for his clasp, but since the hood isn t completed just yet I havent attached it to his chest. I'm definatly shooting for his RoTJ look, maby a little younger. Map...  [Read More]

Unfortunatly I haven't had too much time to work on the model in the last few days, but I figured that I'd post a new shot of the updated hood http://www.boomspeed.com/toonces/Sidioushood.jpg Not finished yet, but should give everyone a good idea w...  [Read More]

Ok, I've smoothed it out a bit, and adjusted the hood a little more. The hood definatly needs just a tiny bit more tweaking and I'll be happy (Link removed due to being way old) I didn't forget you Epimetheus, I remembered to change the color on th...  [Read More]

Heh, yeah, I made it blue so I could see better how it flowed, I just changed the color to match the rest of the body and it actually looks solid which looks cool, I'll post any further shots like that, it just looks much more uniform And thanks for...  [Read More]

I agree with you Epimetheus, I'm going to bring down the hood a tiny bit and see what happens. I tried it yesterday and it looked awkward, but I optimized quite a bit today and now have some additional room to work with. The poly count right now is a...  [Read More]

Figured I'd post another shot, this time it's rendered better, and I changed a few things. The robe will be longer, probly to just over the bottem of the ankle. I'm also planning to mess with the verts once I get the shape down pat (Link removed du...  [Read More]

Dooku definatly didn't look fat in the movie. I'm not sure how old he's supposed to be in the film, but Christopher Lee just turned 80 (yesterday actually) and looks pretty fit for somebody in his 80's. Lee's a tall man with a large frame, definatly...  [Read More]
