Guys, that was only my first model, I'm quite flattered, but I'm really just a beginner in any sense. Don't even know if I'll have the time to learn SketchUp, not to speak of Softimage.


EDIT: Oh, well, killing time/learning Sketchup instead of studying for exams.

Attempted to model a character for the first time! Had a lot of trouble with the hands, but I got there. If I ever decide to use this model for anything I'll likely re-do the head.

Sonic!
Great job!

Looks good, are you going to texture it?

Yeah, looks good!

And the thing I originally wanted to post:

I showed you a picture of an ARC-trooper some time ago and here's an textured update for it. The texture is not complete and some parts need some improvement, but here are a few pics.
The model is not completly done by me, so the main trooper is Ande's TCW trooper and the pistolholsters are from DarthD.U.C.K.

And the Merr-Sonn Z-6 Rotary Blaster Cannon is except of the animationset finished. I will improve it a bit, and then I will release it.
Until then, here's a *presentation* I made for it.
EDIT: The arctrooper is plain white because it's better for reskinning.

That's a ton of detail, might want to bake some of that down and make lower resolution models.

Play XL mode with 100+ of that character wielding your gun and watch the game performance go down the toilet, especially online given how choppy online play is on stock maps.

Actually, Battlefront handles lots of triangles well - it's the shadows that cause the performance drops. If you play Virmire with shadows on, you'll get like 18 frames per second average no matter how powerful your computer is. This isn't because of the high-poly walkways, no - it's because of the shadows and the shadows alone.

That's actually very true, shadows make the game lag terribly.

Ok, I did a short export of the model and tested it - and it works fine! (But I have no lights on my map because it's raining, so I don't know how it works with shadows)

I want that Helmet.....
Great work!

No excuse - a map should always have lighting no matter what. Just replace the contents of your map's LGT file with that of Kashyyyk's.

Same difference.

Yes, you're right. But as I wanted to copy the lines from Kashyyyk's light file, I saw that I had already added a light much time earlier and I forgot that it exists ( )
So you can be sure, the model works fine with light, too.

I made this model using the scout trooper as a base and importing parts from various models. Then I tweaked them around to get this: Can anyone guess what character this is? HINT: Think about who is writing this post!

Your unit for gt vs swbfc?

Im guessing its you.

A pistol model I quickly threw together. It does recycle some parts of my DL-18.
It's loosely based on a pistol model in SWTOR, a specific weapon that uses that model is "Torchy", one of the smuggler's first companion's weapons.
Wireframe

It looks like a sci-fi cowboy/gunslinger pistol. I like it.

The model looks good, however the textures (or rather the UVs) are not as high quality as the other weapons you made using stock textures, and it looks kinda bad because of that. Concept, model, all great. The UV's need reworking so the texture isn't so blurry and stretched.

Which uv in particular? Other than maybe the rail i dont see a problem
