Now, raise your hand if you've wanted a spartan shield in SWBF2 ever since 300 came out.
*raises hand*
Okay, looks like we have an interested crowd
*drum roll*
Spartan Hoplite Shield, ladies and gentleman

Will be released VERY soon
I just have to get the heirarchy right, then she shall be ingame
*Edit*
358 polys

Just to clarify to all the people who thought this was halo-related:




Looks good! Problem is battlefront 2 doesn't have a good sword-shield system without editing anim files.

Looks pretty sweet! May go along with a vibrosword nicely, although like Taivyx said it may require new anims.

You could have it as an addon mesh.

nice shield (but that anim thing...)
the texture is nice too, it will look neat with a nice bumpmap,
but why did you make an own topic for the shield?

Good question, I really don't know
And I am trying to get it in as an addon mesh
Does anyone know what the left arm bone is called?

depends on which you want, they are bone_l_upperarm and bone_l_forearm and for fun bone_l_hand

i recomend using bone_l_forearm

Thank you now I just need to fiddle with it a bit more, and you may see it ingame tommorow

Hey, didn't Vyse make a link model with a working shield and sword combo?

If he's still around you could ask him for some pointers if you get stuck.

Looks great though!

If you're talking about his Hyrule Field map, I'm rather sure he just made it an addon mesh, and had Luke's anim file. Anyway, the model and shield look great, and I agree with whoever said to give it a good bumpmap, as that would make it look much more realistic.

So a bump map wold be done using Rep's meshtool?

Or the Pandemic addon, depending on whether you use the full exporter or mshex.

Full exporter, but is there a tut for it somewhere?

its better to bumpmap with reps meshtool

All right, I will try that, thanks Duck!

you should cut back on the polygons, theres a vertex tolerance in the games engine, some of the ones that are close together could get welded and mess the model up. besides no ones gonna be standing still looking at a shields detail while playing the game so this many polygons might be too much detail, i think it has more than the actual trooper mesh thats wielding it.

What do you mean? I always sit and stare at new models as the AI battle it out
Just Kidding. Thanks minilogoguy, I will try that
Edit
Sorry for the bump but I believe it is ok if it relates to the topic
I got the sheild ingame but, well, just look

The white is Obi-Wan, his skin is messed up
I'll import it into XSI and fix it
