dAno, don't give up. UVW mapping really isn't very hard, it just takes time and patience to do. This tutorial here (http://www.gignews.com/jade_3dsmax.htm) taught me everything I needed to know about mapping. Check it out....  [Read More]

I did a quick replace of desann in single player. Here are some screenshots with him as a npc. The bottom of the robe isn't my final version, That's why it doesn't match the top. Also, you'll notice Joruus still has Desann's size: Triple Vision (htt...  [Read More]

I've haven't read completely through the books in about 4 years, so I don't quite remember exactly how emotional Joruus gets. However, you've made some good points BradFu. adillon, if you want to make the changes that BradFu has suggested, then by al...  [Read More]

I really like what you've done with the hair and the beard. I think I will try to add some random polygons to get the hair looking more realistic. As far as the abs, I have to disagree with you there. I know Joruus is old, but he is a pretty buff ind...  [Read More]

I agree adillon, Joruus really never openly displays his insanity. I got some work done on the skin today. I mapped the arms and skinned them. I also re-skinned the torso, and did some more work on the face. Here's the new torso (http://www.geocit...  [Read More]

Great work adillon, I think we have our twelve taunts, and they're sounding great. When Joruus speaks, people will listen. As soon as I have time, I'll try to come up with a new pk3 to send you. I want the weighting to be perfect so I can finally get...  [Read More]

Thanks, These new arms will work much better, and there will be no clipping on the side of the robe as he walks. I really haven't gotten a chance to do any work on the model itself (the result of Computer Science classes and school in general). Origi...  [Read More]

I've done a little more work on Joruus. The sleeves had been clipping the sides of the robe when he walked, so I've completely redone the mesh on them. Now they are at a different angle. I'm in the process of completely re-weighting the torso and the...  [Read More]

Thanks for your help, Jason Solo, I like the taunts you've come up with. With a dozen taunts in all, there is no way you'll get tired of any of them, and it really adds alot to the model. adillon, I got your e-mail about your initial testing of the...  [Read More]

thanks, I'm still working on the skin. I never seem to be satisfied with it. As far as the hands, they really haven't been weighted correctly yet, and that's why it appears as though he's weilding his saber with the force. Also, adillon, I've been t...  [Read More]

Ok, I've gotten a pretty good weighting done, but I still have to do the hands. One problem though. Every time I try assimilate the model the same vertices have no weights. I look at them in max, but they do have weights. So I mess around with their...  [Read More]

I'm excited to have gotten this far. I think my second attempt at skinning will yield better results than the first. I just thought the first robe was a little too rough looking. I'm trying to get the robe weighted so it will move like Mon Mothma's....  [Read More]

I've finished a decent weighting of Joruus and he's now in game. I've also decided I didn't like the job I did of skinning the robe so I'm in the process of re-doing it. Don't mind the left hand missing, I haven't fixed it yet. I still have some more...  [Read More]

As far as making Gandalf or Saruman, that would be really cool, (I just got the Lord of the Rings DVD), but I don't think I would do it unless it was for a Lord of the Rings total conversion. I like having the robe split down the middle because it lo...  [Read More]

Great job, adillon. Joruus now has a voice. I can't stop listening to the taunts you've made. I like how he has an edge to his speech. Tonight, I'll try to find some more taunts. By the way, your avatar captures Joruus's power perfectly. What do the...  [Read More]

Well Joruus is now in ModView, but I still have alot of clipping issues to work out. The good news is I'm pretty happy with the way I've weighted the robe. As soon as I get a decent weighting done, I'll go back and finish up the skin....  [Read More]
