Усиленно голосуем за версию 1.6, пока за неё тут и там идут дебаты ( : All votes for the 1.6 version, while it's being discussed everywhere ( :

I'm aware that this topic was already broached two years ago, but I feel that necroing a single comment thread is in bad taste. Instead, i'd like to request parity between the genders of player characters and request a female Pureblood Sith player head. I've Identified 3 potential heads that I feel are the best options, namely Samara Breesh (the merchant on Corellia), Sathel (the Korriban Academy instructor), and Ladra (the Revanite on Dromund Kaas). My personal preference leans towards Ladra, but feel free to port whichever you feel most comfortable with/prefer.

I am not 100% sure I will include the RoR heads with the project yet but I was thinking of both including it as an optional package and releasing it as a separate mod so that people can use the heads and races from RoR in regular K2 but I will see how it goes when I get around to it. In the meantime here are some story and design documents if anyone wishes to take a look, in truth it is a mess at the moment. A lot of different text documents and some images of stuff i've written on paper. It's not very well presented basically, there are also various design images possibly conflicting ideas who knows. I need to take the time to go through it and assess it's worth, I think it's all awful at the moment as I haven't properly gone through it.

And then . . . the documentary got longer.

Looking good. Nice work. How do you think you are placed to make ground textures? The Dantooine shot shows how dire some of the vanilla textures are.

And that's a wrap! (Or at least almost) So I started the final renders in full quality. The results are amazing if I may say so myself, but check for yourself (click on the images to see them in full size): Apart from doing all the render work, there are still some small things to fix and Telos to finish. For the latter I need to decide whether to go with the lightning or not and I also want to tweak the clouds some more. And then there are the mod skyboxes I want to create. Most of those should be pretty straightforward but a few will need more work. Among those is M4-78 which is also the one I started with. Here's what it currently looks like. The sky is working pretty well already but the buildings are obviously still missing. Let me know what you think.

Soon™: With that many lights, I could probably start my own disco cantina.

Now that they have finally broken cover, I can say very special thanks to bead-v for KOTORmax and MDLedit, without which getting these models into the game would not be possible, and ndix UR for TGA2TPC, which allows for the creation of functional tangent space normal maps. ================================== Got the classic style head mostly done, just need to add the neck and tweak a few things: Edit: OK, I think that's about it. On to unwrapping, creating the high poly, and texturing.

Got a first pass done. Still need to pick out some of the details, fiddle with the weathering, and fix up a couple of remaining bake errors. In-game test. As usual, struggling with Odyssey's terrible rendering butchering things.

Of course, my mistake. Naturally then head variant 5, conehead, would be C0-N3: Once again, still haven't figured out what to do with the inset panels around the base of the head, so those are just a dark grey placeholder for now. So that's all the base textures for each variant done. Now I just need to add a couple of colour variants and then I can spend hours pulling my hair out trying to get them to look half-decent in-game. Edit: Since I am no longer restricted by the original animations, I figured I might as well expand on my addition of the rear wheel animations and tackle one of the things that has always annoyed me. Namely, the lack of a door on the probe arm bay. I had to leave it open when I originally designed the model to use the vanilla animations, but no longer! Although I probably should have made this decision before doing all the bloody textures..... Edit 2: I've added the probe bay door animations: The rear wheel animations need some tweaking (and I think I missed one). I used TCB rotation, which was a mistake in hindsight as it made a real mess of the interpolation between keyframes. It might be simpler to re-do it from scratch rather than try to clean up the existing anims. I'm also half-tempted to actually add a proper manipulator arm like R2 has on the lefthand side, seeing as the existing "probe" is basically a welding torch. Not sure he should be poking that everywhere. But I think I will desist for now. Maybe that's a project for the future. Edit 3: Of course naturally I can't help myself... Order now for a complimentary integrated data spike, for all your slicing and people stabbing needs:

There are still some technical issues that needed to be resolved that were causing crashes during testing. But honestly I kind of lost interest in a public release once TOR ports were allowed. The interesting part for me was modelling them and getting them in-game, and I have already done that. I don't really see the mileage in going to the effort of making a functional version for release when the average slob is just going to assume it was ported directly from TOR. Plus I already have enough on my plate at the moment with other stuff. Maybe I'll get back to it at some point, if the mood strikes me.
