Dark_Jedi Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 Woloshyniuk and I decided to make one topic for our whole film instead of making seperate topics each time we do something new. We will be posting all models and scenes in here, staring with my last recently made: Ki Adi Mundi's Jedi Starfighter Droid Starfighter Battle Droid Clone Trooper... I went ahead and gave the clone a colour design. id love to hear what you think of it. also, the legs i have there arnt done.. still need to smoth them out and finish them off.. but everything els you see is practicaly done Quote
Dhar Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 I think I'd like to reserve a seat for the first showing This thread I'll keep an eye on. Quote
Woloshyniuk Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 Well if u stand in line now you will be seeing it first when it comes out next june lol Quote
Dark_Jedi Posted July 4, 2006 Author Posted July 4, 2006 Well other than a few tweeks the clone is done i still have to fix up the body under the clone and once i do that, im off to work on its variations. Id love to hear any feedback. enjoy Quote
Viper GTX2.0 Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Are you going to put any texture on the clone? Quote
trajcedrv Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Models look fabulous so far! Please consider donating them to A:M community after (or even before) your movie is finished! I am sure that there are a lot od SW fanatics that would love to play with them! Drvarceto Quote
agep Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Man, those models looks amazing! Best regards Stian Quote
itsjustme Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Extremely nice work so far! The only critique I have is that the fingers on the hands may be too long...it's hard to tell, but the right hand fingers seem long on the front view. Other than that, fantastic. Quote
Dark_Jedi Posted July 4, 2006 Author Posted July 4, 2006 yes viper the clone will be textured, just as all my models will. but only once i get all the models done. im not sure if im going to release them or not.. thats something ill have to think about lol and as for the fingers.. the whole body under the armor was just for show (was taken off my old clone trooper) ill be doing a better body today and make sure it fits better and is to scale Quote
Woloshyniuk Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 If anyone is interested, we are looking for a professional rigger to rig our clone trooper now that its done. We need someone that can do it as quickly as possible. That would be a great help to the 2 of us and it would be highly appreciated. Quote
Viper GTX2.0 Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Hey the models are so wel done that u can sell them like other people sell theres. Ya im looking for somone that can rig my ganster guy as well. I am not good at that rig part for shure. Quote
Woloshyniuk Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 yes we have tried rigging our own but we werent exactly sure what we were doing and there were a few problems with the constraints. We just dont have the time to fool around with that stuff, there are only two of us afterall. Quote
Woloshyniuk Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Here is the tower of the banking clan ship that goes along with that wing i showed earlier. Most of this will be detailed with textures but there is till quite a bit of modelling to be done. Please tell us what you think. (try to ignore those star shaped shadows the little antennas give off) Quote
Admin Rodney Posted July 4, 2006 Admin Posted July 4, 2006 We just dont have the time to fool around with that stuff, there are only two of us afterall. Sounds almost like you need to take on a third. Very nice work thus far. Quote
kashyyyk Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 If you guys need any of my SW models let me know. Dan Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted July 5, 2006 Hash Fellow Posted July 5, 2006 Wonderful looking models! Be sure to animate them wonderful too! Quote
Woloshyniuk Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 If you guys need any of my SW models let me know. Dan Thanks for the offer but we want to try to do all of the modelling ourselves, plus we are only making a film that takes place during the prequel trilogy. You probably worked pretty hard on those models and we wouldnt want to take credit for them. Quote
Ilidrake Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 You could invest in The Setup Machine. It's about 80 bucks but worth it. I can rig, but prefer to model and animate. TSM2 makes life so much easier, just make sure you have the latest version of AM, not sure how far up you need to be updated but it doesn't work with version 10.5. Definitly worth the money though. Wish I had more time I'd rig'em for you but my hands are tied right now. Models look great though. Wish you guys the best. Quote

I was planning on selling my Setup Machine 2 if you guys or anyone else is interested. I'd take $50 or best offer for it. Anyone can PM me if interested. Quote
nerrazzi Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 This stuff looks fabulous! Both of you guys have a monumental task ahead with the Star Wars Universe and I can't wait to see the finished product! You guys must really be big Star Wars fans because you can't sale any of this stuff, pity. Quote
nerrazzi Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 Just cash-wise. George doesn't mind folks making SW fan films, it's cashing in on those films and or merchandise that he has a bit of problem with... Quote
Woloshyniuk Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 yes well obviously we're not allowed to sell this stuff. And were not considering selling any of it, were just doing it for fun basically. We may however enter it into a film festival or 2 just to get it out there. Quote
martin Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 yes well obviously we're not allowed to sell this stuff. And were not considering selling any of it, were just doing it for fun basically. We may however enter it into a film festival or 2 just to get it out there. That's the right attitude! It will do GREAT at festivals. (And donate the models to the "A:M Extras II" DVD for other people to make fan films.) Quote
Dark_Jedi Posted July 6, 2006 Author Posted July 6, 2006 A quick look at commander bacara here.. its helm is pretty well done other than some stuff im not to sure about.. its taken me a long time to make this and i dont know why :S hmm has he been wandering the forums? maybe leo knows Quote
Leo73 Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 You know it, He is such an awesome trooper, I want to be just like him when I grow up. Quote
gschumsky Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 Hey! I like those pastel colors. Very 80's Actually those are more 70's....(and you call yourself a designer). Excellent modeling. Can't wait to see the rest! (btw, good thing you model better than you spell...) Quote
Dark_Jedi Posted July 7, 2006 Author Posted July 7, 2006 (btw, good thing you model better than you spell...) is that an insult or what? Quote
Woloshyniuk Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 lmao... did u mispell that one too on purpose because if so, thats hillarious Quote
spikerthree Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 I think this is pretty cool. Big undertaking. I've also wanted to do a SW fan film (probably everyone else too). If anything, you guys have show inspiration to the rest of us who haven't gotten off our duff to do something about it. Hope it goes well. Quote
gschumsky Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 (btw, good thing you model better than you spell...) is that an insult or what? No. I'm just tired of seeing people on this board who can't spell...unless of course you're from a different country and English is not your native language. I used to be a film teacher at a high school, and time and again I'd have students (Seniors no less) turn in treatments or scripts that had really bad spelling mistakes. Their excuse? " My spell checker was broken." So, though not an insult, think of this more as a piece of advice. Because you are a really good modeler and can really go far in this business if you so desire. BUT, one of the requirements from ANY employer is good communication skills. Both writing and speaking. No one will hire you, or keep you on board long if your spelling sucks. Also, if you submit a resume to any company (which they look at before even looking at your work), and there are any typos, there's a good chance it'll end up in the trash. So, take it as I said as a piece of advice. And, like I said, nice modeling. Woloshyniuk and I decided to make one topic for our whole film instead of making ceperate topics eatch time we do something new. Just an example: ceperate should be separate... eatch should be each... Your first impression with any potential employer is your resume. Spelling mistakes end up the trash. edit: whoops! See, I forgot to add "in"... doh! Quote
luckbat Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 Your first impression with any potential employer is your resume. Spelling mistakes end up the trash. I assume you meant to write, "Spelling mistakes end up in the trash"... Quote
Woloshyniuk Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 Oooo, a battle lol should we be switching the topic name on this thread? Quote
luckbat Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 When Spelling and Grammar fight, everyone loses! Quote
KenH Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 I speeds reads through the forum and so misssess most of them. It doesn't bother me as long as I get the gist. Back to all things Star Wars.... Quote
gschumsky Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 Your first impression with any potential employer is your resume. Spelling mistakes end up the trash. I assume you meant to write, "Spelling mistakes end up in the trash"... Yes, I edited it. Okay, so one for me. When Spelling and Grammar fight, everyone loses! Btw, never trust MS Word's grammar checker. I believe it was coded by Bill himself. Here's an example of one of my students' work. She was a senior, valedictorian to be, and her treatment was horribly misspelled. One of the words was supposed to be "meet", though she had meit, or something like that. I gave her the benefit of the doubt (though in my High School days our spell checker was a dictionary), and let her turn it in the next day, as long as the words were corrected. She did, and they were. "Meit" had become "Meat"...as in "The man went to go meat with his friends". She got an F. Now back to our regularly scheduled Star Wars discussion. Quote
Woloshyniuk Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 You know its sad when one must depend on a computer spell check to correct the word meet. I guess our topic is a little bit too boring for you guys lol. I must admit this little grammar discussion has been lovely Quote
Woloshyniuk Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 Pretty soon we will have updated tower and wing to show. By then hopefully they will be near finished. Quote
Dark_Jedi Posted July 8, 2006 Author Posted July 8, 2006 yea i agree. and a good way to get back onto the star wars topic is by an update heres commander bacara. the skirt still need some work but everything else is about right. Enjoy Quote
Dhar Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 That was quick. I guess he's Scotish! Nice work. LOL Ken, that was funny. I can imagine him with bagpipes Quote
Dark_Jedi Posted July 8, 2006 Author Posted July 8, 2006 yea he i dont know why he has a skirt. just does. dont complain to me i just model it Quote
Leo73 Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 The reasoning behind the skirt is that the commanders are based off the ARC Troopers from the cartoon. They are clones that were bred and trained to be elite (so to speak). I think with him and commanding the marines they chose it for extra protection as you see them in cold weather in the film. Its the same principle as the Hoth troopers in Empire Quote
Dark_Jedi Posted July 8, 2006 Author Posted July 8, 2006 well i rather like the skirt.. gives them a higher ranking look. and btw leo. im going to be modeling the marines next Quote
Leo73 Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 I wasnt saying the skirt looked bad, I was merely commenting on why he has the skirt. I think you are doing a great job with your models and cant wait to see the animation. Quote
