Since my old thread was deleted in the server reformat, I'm making myself a new thread, and broadening it so I don't have to make a new thread for new models/skins.

Celeglin

An original character I've used in RPs. Once I can be bothered to, I'll actually finish this model (too afraid to attempt linking it all to bones at the moment).





And here's my Galadriel. It's nothing compared to Gondolin's, but I made it nonetheless.





Next I'm either going to make Arwen (based off Eowyn's model I think... Trying to add a sword to the gutownwmn model is beyond me) or Celeborn (gotta learn how to get rid of the bow though). Wish me luck!

Well these models/skins are good

Trying to add a sword to the gutownwmn model is beyond me

its really easy, import 2 models at the same time and hide the one you want to have the sword. Then pick the sword from the model and place it so it looks right with the other mesh
hope that was clear enough

[Grim]

I had a look at Galadriel ingame, she kinda shines with brightness, beautiful.

Good luck for the next ones

[nickthemenace]

can you post a screenshot of her ingame?

But the bones master ched! The bones! And the animations... lol. I'm not ready to add a new bone into all those animations... Unless there's an easier way... But no matter, I just finished Arwen on the Eowyn model.






Well, I like the face on this one better than my Galadriel, but the skirt didn't work so well. The model is Eowyn's without the shield, spear, and cloak, and I extended the sleaves. It's not exactly as Arwen's riding dress was (the skirts were much longer) but it's close enough. I just need to fix her sword then I'll be done with her.

can you post a screenshot of her ingame?

I'll get right on that. But be forewarned, my graphic card is outdated and doesn't do the high-res thing too well.

EDIT: Here they are:

Front
Back

It really irks me how much detail is lost ingame . And don't worry about her size. Grim's helping me get her the right size.

damn, Arwen looks real good
i had reskinned Arwen some time ago, but mine just sucked because i had tried to give her a dress and since it was one of my first moddeling attempts, it just sucked and the head looked weird

[nickthemenace]

there good, thanks for the screenshots theres something not quite right with arwen.. id go with make the skirt a bit longer, and make it seem more dress-y, like make it smoother around the middle.. dont know if that helps. The face does look good by the way

[Celeglin]

Alright, I'll give it a try. I just noticed that the bottom of the skirt flares out, so it has an extra set of vertices. I could probably stetch the bottom one way down and attach them to the feet bones... Uck... Linking this model to the bones is going to be a pain... That hair's gunna kill me.

[Celeglin]

Alright, here she is with the long skirt and her proper sword:




Just a note, this had to be the most confusing skin ever ><;;. Unlike others I've worked on, this one wasn't semetric (took me forever to figure that one out). And the neck line... *shudders*. I swear I took an hour getting that bloody thing right.

Also, should I try adding on her crown? Or would that just not work with the rest of her costume?

EDIT: Oops! Double posted...

At least you gave her a nice butt and boobs. At least. looks good...

[nickthemenace]

I could always make 'em bigger ya know

Anywho, do you reckon she's ready to go? Anything else I should change before I embark on linking her to her bones?

[nickthemenace]

you know, you could always try the autolink method.. select all the vertices, and instead of clicking link to bone by name, do autolink.. try it in game, and manually do the ones that look bad.. works surprisingly well

[Hostile]

Yes, auto link is our friend.

[nickthemenace]

i onoly worked out how to use it yesterday!!

[Celeglin]

It worked heavenly. I only had to change a single vertex in the hair.

Unfortunately, the dove grey doesn't stand up well in-game. And the skirts don't animate very well (look a bit like pjs). This may take me a while

[nickthemenace]

good luck!

[Celeglin]

Well that was a lot easier than I expected:

Arwen Reskinned/Modelled

I could stand to fix up the skirts at the back of the bottom, but I'll first need to get connecting vertices right... Bleh.

[nickthemenace]

it looks good! Nice hero iccon as well .. although. maybe the skin is too dark?
