      Thanks for the feedback, always appreciated.

      The antenna cups in the vanilla model are actually animated using dedicated bones. Since I went with the regular human rig with this one, I don't have that option available. I did apply your suggestion to make them danglymeshes (as well as the spikes) to give them a bit more life.

      The eye cubemap is indeed custom. It's my first time playing around with it and it's hard to gauge how it's going to look applied on a half-sphere. I've reduced the number of lights, it looks a bit more like the movies now.

      I don't see a shading issue on the lips, maybe it's the bump and specmap that leave that impression?

  5. I admit, I'm cautiously optimistic about the KotOR Remake. But, seeing the FanDumbass Menace getting worked up and digging through the twitter history of one of the writers, just to find SOMETHING to use in one of the outrage videos makes want to play the game even more.

  6. Struggling with this Kotor Remake that will inevitably be butchered. Sucks because I love this part of Star Wars. but...

    Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

    And the originals aren't going anywhere

      Eh, let’s remain catiously optimistic. Next to nothing is currently known about the project. Worst case scenario, we’ll fix it ourselves

      Ah I see. Well the point of the high poly sculpt here is to bake all those details into the diffuse texture of the low-poly in-game model, using Substance Painter's Baked Lighting Filter (pretty awesome stuff). It worked quite well for the head so I don't expect too much ugly stuff for the body.

      Separate head and torso. For me, it’s mostly about enhanced texture space. Not sure I’ll bother making a playable Duros myself (or armor wearing Duros NPCs) but I’m planning on releasing a modder’s ressource archive alongside with it, with everything needed for textures and such.

      Thanks. Yeah I feel the alien races such as the Duros or Rodians aged quite poorly compared with the rest of the games, especially in K1.

      I'm exploring higher poly meshes here, so polycount will be anywhere between 2k and 5k probably. So I'll make most of it actual geometry, should be doable without going overboard. Especially considering that Duros heads don't move much, apart from their mouths.

      Edit: Maybe a lil' more than 5k, but I'm not worried too much about the polycount.

  16. Right now playing through Jedi: Fallen Order. I think it's suprisingly fun! The combat is a bit crummy and the enemies track too much, but I'm enjoying my time.

      Easily the best game to have come out since EA got the rights. It's a real shame that Project Ragtag from Visceral was cancelled though.

  17. Neat trailer, but now we can finally watch the red, green or blue ending in crisp HD:

      I was to young to know LucasForums, my English wasn't quite there yet. However I'm glad there's still this great community on DS dedicated to KoTOR after all those years.

  20. Cool Idea...

    It would be cool if we had a mod that adds Sith eyes to all the default character heads. Then add a shader that allows the eyes to glow slightly. Like they do in the films. I already know about the mod that adds Sith eyes to the character heads, but I think my idea is cooler.

      Finished the prequel-style belt, tried to keep a cohesive topology in the process. I added a pouch (just a small cube) to test out but didn't like how it looked so I'll keep it that way. Only have to texture it now.
