Nice clone commander and weapons!
They all look really nice!

Commander Jet's Weapon: Heavy Republic Flamethrower


Based on:


I'm thinking about doing those troopers to, too bad I don't have a good Geo map for BF0

lol, I loved it when they lit the geos on fire!

Lol haven't posted here in awhile again.

SWG Power Hammer:



Based off of:
Wireframe of the head (since the bottom cylinders aren't much to talk about)
Yeah so its really high pollied, go on, sue me

too...... many...unnecassery polys
but beside that it looks good

Oh I will. I'd contact a lawyer if I were you, and I'd go looking for a cheap place to live in the future.

Nice hammer, your model looks pretty much 100% accurate to me. Why do they call it powered though? A cheap way to let a war-hammer make sense in a world full of lasers?

Oh you will find the odds very much in my favor in court, my lawyers got WINGS and a MASK

*looks at title*

Aw ****.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why its called powered? Well thats what the game calls it *shrugs*

(ur reasoning is quite realistic though )

The BF2 game engine can handle more polies than most people realize. You could easily use that many polies in a hammer model, I think. Sure, you could get away with less. But there's not much reason to deliberatly reduce that model's polies.

You can fit a good 6,000 or more on a model, it's just sometimes if a poly is too small it won't show up right ingame (or not at all)

This is true in that 6000 is a relative max but its wise to keep it under 4-5 thousand... large pollied objects may even crash the game if there are too many... also if they are too small it can cause a game to crash. I have also found that terrain cutters cant exceed (roughly) 40% of the map... this WILL crash your game and these need to be very low poly.

it can handle many polies, but a hammer model like this doesnt need that much polies. and if you can achieve the same result with less polies there is a reason to reduce it.

Just the end of the big cylinder and the small spheres are about all he can reduce (would just use a cylinder for the small objects and just pull the ends out to a roundinsh shape)
I will say that before you export it you should triangulate it (Model/Modify Polgons/triangulate)

Umm, what does it do?

To keep this on topic:

No idea where wazzie got this model from, but the head model was in his BF0 assets, I'm sure he got permission. If you know who made it please let me know. Anyhow, it was WAAAAY beter than my old Kenobi model (head), but it was a mess. I had to make a new texture, with uvs as reference, and I moddeled the body, but that was not harsh. The end: mission accomplished? The latest, and will be used a lot;

Obi-Wan Kenobi (TCW/Ep3/BF0 mix)
Much better as the hippie from the Heroes topic huh?

Edit: Ingame will have skirt ofcourse

I like the head, the body with the cloth part look a little wierd to me, sort of like taking a midget and stuffing him into a set of artifical legs. Don't mean to sound harsh that is just the way it looks to me, but then I have a distorted view of the world anyway

Edit: ah looking two posts down it does look differnt with the skirt, kam whatever you want to call it.

MandeRek, you never come on xfire anymore, miss you buddy.

@CodaRez Sharply rising sides on things tend to disappear in game triangualting before export helps to prevent this.

im 90% shure its HapSlash's

Well judging from pics I saw, the pelvis and thighs can easily be replaced with the stock obi-wan model part

The *pauldron* should be shortened a bit

And I hope u added the jedi order insignia on his left shoulder plate.

Other than that, lookin good!
(though IMO the head looks a bit too cute )

And maybe this is a more realistic rendition of how he would be like in BF2, but ur free to refer, doesnt he look menacing :maulsaber:

Okay fixed the model in some sort of way, will have ingame pic for next post.

@Frag - I know man, busy school! I promise I'll be on coming 2 weeks!

EDIT
Sorry for double post!!

Here;s the fixed Kenobi model ingame:

I love it.

I do not. But I like him. GJ, Mande.
