oh man that model looks so out of place with that ultra low res texture on the ground and that gun....

you need to give him his arched forward look and he'll be great

Awesome. Just awesome. Did you model it from the first three Star Wars films, or did you model it after the CGI one yoda? Cause I think that the puppet yoda was cooler than CGI yoda. GREAT JOB!

I'd say he did the CGI yoda, because of the head. The CGI yoda's head was much more round, whereas the puppet yoda looked more irregularly shaped. I liked the puppet yoda more, myself.

OH! You can see through the back of the ear.

Even just a higher-poly Yun model (the basic, no-shoulder pad humanoid model) would be nice. Moving around vertices and adding extra chunks here and there is the easy part, so if there was a good base to work off, that'd be swell.

If there were some Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine detail leveled models around, I would love to....do something. To help. Skin or something.

But anyway, that Yoda...I don't get it. Is he actually small? And if so....how? I haven't really been keeping up with the cog forum or anything...did I miss something awesome?

He's based primarily on the rotj version, but also the cg version. kind of a combo.

He's the correct size compared to the kyle model. (the size of a puppet :p )

If you've played tdir, you'd know that we had multiple sized characters in multiplayer. We did it by adding support for all models in the keys. Given our knowledge of how keys work, Hell Raiser is programming a tool that will convert keys to be used with any / multiple models. Check the editing forum for a beta version.

Ahh, this is so cool. I gave him kyles mesh names and used the converter to give him all kyles animations. (still waiting on multi character support) and the conversion was just about flawless. There are only a couple idling animation issues, everything else is spot on!

He actually has to jump to get that crossbow

Brought to you by KeyEd.

Damn, seeing it in action with something like this just.... *sniff* it's so beautiful.

If SotD worked...

i feel like concing yoda now. that model makes me laugh. nicely done.

you should include a small saber 3do with that yoda Looks awsome.

hey I can look throught his coat....

and yoda vs kyle was allready possible in SaberbattleX :p

The SBX yoda wasn't yoda at all. It was pic. Pic with a yoda texture. This is ACTUALLY yoda.

JediKirby

not it was more than pic...

yeah, I already fixed the transparency on the texture.

Your right, it was a regular player model with pics head and no knees.

My yoda has knees, that bend. Ankles, too

Using yoda in multiplayer would be an unfair advantage There's less to hit.

When playing as yoda, in first person view are you lower to the ground?

Actually the hitbox is the same, just lower to the ground. Believe i or not, the player hitbox doesnt encompas kyles legs! you can shoot right through them and not take damage.

And the insert offset of the 3do is lower, so yes, the first person view is lower.

WOW! Holy crap that's good! Dang, if LEC ever releases the Sith engine source code, JK will look better than HL2!

...no it wont.

anyways, this looks really cool.

Yes it would, Caz. Someone would code in some sort of pixel shader support eventually. :p

That ... is .... beautiful.

If you want to know (imo) what the 2 most essential models that need to be redone are - they would have to be.

• Darth Vader
• Stormtrooper

If you make those models at the same quality level of this Yoda model - I will proclaim you a deity!

there is allready a high-def Stormtrooper in JKadvanced 2.0

But I bet Shred can do better . . .

Very nice, Shred. Is this why HellRaiser was asking about changing pupfiles on the fly in MP?

Was he? I dont know. One of the main points of KeyEd is to make the player keys support any and all models you tell it to, which eliminates the need to change pup files via cog.

Shred should do odd-sized characters before anything at all. Jawas, rancors, etc.

JediKirby

Jawas should have come before Yoda. UTINNI!

R2D2, Jawa, Watto, and Gonk.

If they're huminoid like ky.3do, then let the odd shaped skin pack begin! (Shred willing of course :p)

That model is awesome shred. When people were complaining about the parka all I could think was 'JKs node system sucks, what can he do?' and then you went and made it work anyway. That looks really solid. And to see it ingame, oh man it looks a lot better than I thought was possible. Certainly better than kyle with a head transplant and his legs chopped off that was the best playable yoda to date.

But what I'm really excited about is KeyEd. The fact that you had to build an entirely new set of keys for a somewhat different model was the main thing standing in the way of different sized and shaped humanoid models in the game. Now there's a program to do almost all the work for you!

Also, the guy asking for a new higher quality yun model, it was made a few months ago by Darth Slaw. All you have to do is copy yuns texture names into Slaw's new kyle 3do and you're good to go.

Between that and the thing limit thing, its like a new golden age of JK editing! Or something...

Yeah he got more time than other....

Nah, he went to college and uses 3dsmax. :p

Uh, what? Is the above poster drunk?

Well, at least optimistic.

Possibly, but I think I would have noticed if someone spiked my H2O. I'm simply pointing out that Shred18 deserves praise for this, and that G-Man's cynicism is taking away from the thread. The fact of the matter is that this is the most impressive Yoda that we've seen for JK/MotS, and to keep pointing out that things have been done before, despite not being as good Shred18's work, and that it's only because "he got more time than other" (?) is a bit irritating to those who really appreciate the hard work that has gone into this, as well as KeyEd.

My apologies if I've misunderstood something, but one can only take so much cynicism, and the threads seem to be overflowing with it these days.

I agree wholeheartedly.

What??? I just said that theres allready a hi def Stormtrooper...

I gotta tell ya, thats nothing like the Storm Trooper model from JO or JA, it' the stock ST only rounder and still uses the JK ST textures. Why settle for a mediocre "Hi-Def" ST model?

If somebody doesn't try their skills on something thats already been done, we're left with only 1 choice. Ex: Microsoft. :p

[I think I get it. G-Man is mearly pointing out that one exists, but not inferring that one better shouldn't be made :p ]
