ya, i'll be fixing that... model mapping was a bit off as well as the texture

[Dragonforce]

If ROTWK is installed, you can't play bfme 2 mods. Or maybe it's just mine computer?

[Ed Of The 3rd Kind]

you cant play a mod from either game on the other without some adjustment

[Devon]

You can definitely play bfme2 mods with rotwk installed...

[Lurtzy]

Saw the video, amazing work guys!

Keep it coming

[Ed Of The 3rd Kind]

Thanks, and a work in progress, started this this evening just starting to map it now, can anyone guess what it's going to be for?

[Ridder Geel]

Some kind of droid from the droid factory or some city?

[Eldarion]

Well, it's a Pit Droid...my guess is a mobile mechanic?

[{IRS}Athos]

Fixing buildings, like peasants?

[Ed Of The 3rd Kind]

You got it Ithilien, it'll have the porter functions in game for the CIS, building and fixing buildings, as for the Republic side I was thinking of having Astromech Droids perform the basic functions.

[{IRS}Athos]

Ooh, cool... Droids would also work well as ship repair (if you ever get to the point of having the CIS aero-tanks or the clone speeders/walkers).

First of all, this is looking like nothing but pure awesomeness more and more.

Second, it's true, I'll be helping with coding. Due to "technical difficulties", I'm a little delayed, but I'm fighting hard!

Third, instead of "The Twilight...", just put "Twilight of the Republic". "The" makes it sound rather....archaic. That's just my two cents.

Below is pic of the Pit Droid in the final stage of development, I made and mapped this model, all that remains now is that Rhiea with her artist skills will skin it, if you are wondering about the color coded skin, it's a downloadable tool called texporter for 3ds max 7, it exports the map multiple formats and in any size you want and color codes it so you know where everything goes.

[LadyRhiea]

That skin hurts my feelings.

[Ed Of The 3rd Kind]

Well it's a good thing you'll be fixing it up then aint it

Here's another WIP, I'm going to try and fly through making these models ASAP to get them in game as placeholders so that I can get down to where the real work is and that is coding artwork.



And I know he's got no ears, will be modelling them in real soon, once I figure whether or not this guy should be in the Jedi Robes or just in the under tunic

EDIT:
and here's the progression on the body, I'm more than likely going to use CAH hands and boots because they are modelled much better than I could make them, this model comes in at 4000polys about 2ice that of your average hero, i just couldn't get the smoothness I wanted, most likely I'll res it down for lower end computers unless you guys wouldn't mind having a medium sized poly guy running around.

Maybe it depends of mod? I can't for example play SEE because the folder it needs is empty

[Lauri]

I've had troubles with playing mods for BFME2 with RotWK installed, but a reinstall (of both) fixed it

And Windu looks great, although the feet doesn't really look.. well, real and his skin seems stretched in some places..

[Eldarion]

You should try to map his chest asymmetrically if you can - the resulting skin would be a lot more accurate.

[Ed Of The 3rd Kind]

i'll try it although i've all ready joined my model together so it'll be difficult now, bear with me, I'll get a new map done anyway
