1. You're right about the cuffs, I'll make them wider. 2. I'm still working on the bottom of the robe. I'll see if the I can move the split to the side a little and see how it works out. 3. The hairline with definetely be lowered to look more like...  [Read More]

I think the reason most custom models aren't released with the moving facial expressions is because it is probably a long process which involves weighting the face to all of the facial bones (And there is alot of them!). Spacemonkey's tutorial says t...  [Read More]

I started to work on the top of the robe and I can already see that this model is probably going to turn out better than my original. The hair isn't finished though. I have to finish the robe first. Updated Pics: http://www.geocities.com/donahuepj/...  [Read More]

Thanks, I think the new one captures his personality a bit more and the hair is more defined. I'm happy to hear about the new Zahn books. His Trilogy was absolutely my favorite out of all the Star Wars books....  [Read More]

Don't worry. This just pushes the release a few days back. It really didn't take me to long to make, and I've learned alot since I first started. After I finished modeling, I realized I was going to have a hard time fitting it to the skeleton. This t...  [Read More]

Today, my computer decided it wanted to crash and I had to format my hard drive, so I lost all my files, including my model. I'm just going to have to restart it, and hey maybe it will come out even better. Hopefully, it won't take me too long. Don't...  [Read More]

I'm nearing completion on the actual model itself, but I have one question. Are the bones included in the polygon count of the model? With the bones I have a count over 4,000. Without the bones the count is 2500....  [Read More]

I worked a little more on the model last night. I made the hair longer in the back and I think it is at a good length. The bottom of his robe still needs some work. Harukaze, that all sounds great. Team support really isn't necessary for Jorus. I us...  [Read More]

I'll probably just stick with Star Wars type characters for the first release. Once I get better at skinning I could maybe do a skinpack, as I know there are alot of bearded/robed characters out there....  [Read More]

I was gonna try to skin Joruus myself, though I still have alot to learn. Harukaze, if you wanted to do a Jorus skin that would be great. I still have some more work to do on the model itself. When that is finished, I'll let you know. Maybe the team...  [Read More]

Oh, and Harukaze if you can give me anymore pics/information from the comics that would be great. I don't have any pictures of him from behind and I'm still trying to figure out what the back of his hair should look like....  [Read More]

From all the pics I've seen of him I think his robes were always divided. But, I might attach it and just see what looks best. I agree that the face does need some more anger in it, to look more like the cover of the book....  [Read More]

My Main reference for this model is the cover of Heir to the Empire. I've started work on the robe and I added the medallion he has around his neck. The shaders for the beard sounds like a great idea. I'll look into it....  [Read More]
