nah the eyes are fine, i think that the face would have been taken from an image ergo the eyes would be in proportion.
I do however have 2 things to say, its about the robes. I think the robe at the back needs to be longer in length almost touching the floor and secondly the lower part of the tunic in front of mauls legs. In the films over the top of the double flap on each side was a single piece of cloth that hung between his legs. Il understand if i norder to keep things moving u decide not to pursue this though.

Thanks for the comments everybody.
You have some good suggestions, but in order to keep the polycount down, we have to settle for less accuracy.

If you're actually worried about polycount, I suggest you look at his hands... I'd actually be interested in knowing the tris count.
I really don't do requests and my Arnor Soldier is not fit for BFME. Don't ask me for either.

The overall polycount is about 1600.
Any comments on the work? Nertea I would like your input especially on the tunic and cloth, because youre a master at that.

I think you could go up some more on that poly count. a normal cah model is over 3000.

Whats that supposed to mean?. How many darth mauls are there? only 1 that i remember.yea but you dont have a mod full of cah's
And im guessing he will be a hero? so it doesnt matter if people play a 5player game and the poly count of a cah is over 3000thats alot of polys if they all buy there cah plus the fact of units aswell and other heros.

FlameGuard, seriously, a regular hero cannot be 3000. A create-a-hero can. Thats it.

and what's the difference between a CAH hero and a Hero ?
and polycount isn't the major cause for lag, so no worries for a few extra polies

i did not say that what i said if you read correctly is.FlameGuard, seriously, a regular hero cannot be 3000. A create-a-hero can. Thats it.
aka cah+heros+units = alot of polys more than 1600 so i dont think a few more hundred polys on the model will matter tbh.a normal hero was 3000 there cah plus the fact of units aswell and other heros.

What if he doesn't want Maul to be high poly because he's saving the extra polys for all the droids in the game. There could be many reasons why he wouldn't, but why would he NOT want to make his model/skin better? Come on, you know he has a good explanation that he might not want to release at the moment.

How about this: once we are in beta stage, if the mod doesnt cause lag, then we will go back and increase the level of detail in a number of things, including Maul.

Yeah!!! that one!! No you idiot, I wouldn't know, but I think it would be safe to assume there is a logical reason the model is the way it is.yeah like the uber big-uber detailed-40ft maul thats the special power for the CiS that hes putting in. Wait has he announced that yet?
Didn't you claim to be the mapper for this mod? I like your team support.

Poly count seems barely an issue, actually, I just realized that we're running massive amounts of 3500 polygon orcs onscreen for RA with no problems:P. Texture size is more critical, alpha channels even moreso.
The cloth is good, in some places it could use a bit more definition, and the guest is right about the innacuracy (SW nerd here
) The problem I see is that the boots don't look like boots, they may need to stand out more so they look less like skin tight things.

the best thing about maul was the Hammer pants he used to wear that were real baggy and were tucked into his boots.
And it was purely a joke about the big maul. I was putting forward a comcical reason for your 'it's like this for a reason' theory.

Thats very good then, because our clone troopers are about 1150 polys, so they shouldnt lag.Poly count seems barely an issue, actually, I just realized that we're running massive amounts of 3500 polygon orcs onscreen for RA with no problems:P. Texture size is more critical, alpha channels even moreso.
I'll also change the boots, as you pointed out
