Wow, looks so cool! And professional.

will you add the cristall cave with some Kinraths ?

The crystal cave is already in it. As for kinraths, I highly doubt it. They would require a new model and animations.

What about a scaled Acklay?

True, that would work, but I don't think it'd look very good.

You underestimate my Power! (actually anakin in dual of fates, but think a scaled acklay said it)

Obviously the head is an issue, but what any creator should weigh is whether the costs of having it in the map (slight body differences) outweigh the costs of not having it in the map (slight realism discrepancies). I personally think that it could look passable, but it's pretty much a toss-up.

Maybe Rep could hex edit it's head off, like he did with Dooku

I don't think that was hexedited off, since I don't think a head can be. It was either edited as a model (in XSI or something similar) or it was hexedited to accept .tgas with an alpha channel and he made the head invisible. This head could be made invisible with hexediting (it should be really easy), but it would look really bad because you'd see into the inside of the model.

Yeah... You're probably right... Can't we give the head alphachannel as well? It must be possible in someway!


Edit: Please don;t respond with making a new model in XSI, i know that's a way, but getting it correct bones would be terrible!

That is exactly what I just said could be done but would look bad.

Sorry thought you mean hexediting the head of.. Let's say i just create an addon msh, we make the head invisible and make the addon msh just something flat to fill up the gap...Will that work?

Theoretically. I've got no idea how it'd look.

Heres my theory.
1. I somehow get the acklay skeleton, I think people with xsi 5.11 can do this.
2. Use rep's importer to import the acklay
3. Remove the acklay head crest, the spikes on the arms, and otherwise make it Kinrath like.
3. Create an addon mesh of the facial "appendage"
4. export, scale animations, get ingame.

Pardon the DP.
Final version of the twilek Merc is done.




Statue ingame:


Old Republic banner

Very cool, Caleb, the mercenary looks awesome

The merc is to drool for =Q_____________________


I'd make the entire statue the same color though, but awesome pose great stuff, great stuff

Would this work for the statue? You seem busy on Xfire so I'll just post it here




It's an easy reskin, I know, I just thought let's save Caleb some work
No actually I thought let's find a reason not to learn for my sociology test... But anyway, you can adjust the brightness and stuff to make it fit your other things better if you want to.

Caleb: That is one hell of an upgrade you (D) Posted there! Men!!! That merc is perfect! The statue is REALLY nice and i REALLY like the old republic banner, dunno why actually.... Caleb, too sweet for words man... holy Diet Dr. Pepper!

the banner reminds me a bit of the Japanese rising sun though, maybe you could give it a different color than red
