dashrazor Posted March 11, 2011 Report Posted March 11, 2011 finally got these ready to post these are from TFU ultimate sith edition Quote
stevechewbacca[501st] Posted March 11, 2011 Report Posted March 11, 2011 wow ! That will help a lot !! Well, it clearly shows that there are trims on all the parts, so no pics before adding the next ones... I'll order other trims this week end I think Do you think we have to separate the cod piece and the ab ? there is some black part between them... I still have the drop boxes in black but I think I'll light them viewing those pics. Well I've got a lot of work to do to make it really accurate Quote
dashrazor Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) no i wouldn't separate the cod piece and the ab. ----------- Edited September 20, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote
Quartermaster[501st] Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 Awesome screen caps Mason. It looks like there are 3 vertical stripes on thee forearms. Is that right? It appeaars that the front and back vertical trim is red and a 3rd stripe is on the inside center of the forearm. Also has a stripe across the top edge of the bicep. Should I do my paint scheme exactly like that? Quote

I'm really getting ready for both of those! awesome shots! sweet Vern!!! cant wait to see this.. i did the TKC already but the HWT i still need better quality.. i want to get my PS2 emulator working again so i can get the best possible quality screens .. i lost my BIOS files lol Quote
TK-6202 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 Nice pics ! It looks like there's no right shoulder armor, only the pauldron? Quote
stevechewbacca[501st] Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 Nice pics ! It looks like there's no right shoulder armor, only the pauldron? Exactly ! The pauldron falls on the shoulder, replacing the shoulder bell Quote
stevechewbacca[501st] Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 Mason, I see some kind of buttons on the ab, back and the belt. How can we make this ? They don't seem to maintain anything (for ab and back). As I use velcro for the belt, I think I'll put some button heads. Quote
dashrazor Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Posted March 12, 2011 the problem with not wearing the shoulder bell is it is impossible to get a regular pauldron to bend like that.. (trust me i tried everthing ) even if you bend the pauldron like i did HERE it still looks really lop sided without the bell under it it was likely just left out of the game because of a limitation in the skinning check out the shadow incinerator, 2nd trooper from the left (this is concept art, but it shows the other shoulder bell) as for the belt, they appear to be rivets but i dont think they will be required under the current standards Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 They will be when we do Centurion for the ICN, but are not needed for EI or CRL. Quote

stevechewbacca[501st] Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 They will be when we do Centurion for the ICN, but are not needed for EI or CRL. You mean 2 shoulder bells for centurion ? I'm really interested as I'd like to prepare my armor for EIB and centurion at the same time Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 You mean 2 shoulder bells for centurion ? I'm really interested as I'd like to prepare my armor for EIB and centurion at the same time Actually I was referring to the rivets on the belt. Since the Legion requires both shoulder bells, so to does EI & Centurion as well. As Mason noted, it didn't look right anyway w/o the right bell. Quote
stevechewbacca[501st] Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 Okay, thanks for this precision Paul. Well, I've got to get another shoulder bell for now as I cut the one I thought it was not required for some things ^^" Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 Actually you may want to wait...The current EI says: * Pauldron should fold over the right shoulder bell and be fitted, replacing the bell (see visual references) However that was done when none of us had really made one and just looked off the visual references. As Mason and now you (Steve) are doing this, your opinions really matter, and I'd like to hear your thoughts on if we should continue with this or if it's better that the costume have the second shoulder bell. Quote
stevechewbacca[501st] Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 Thanks so much Paul. Well, for my point, I think that the second shoulder bell is really absent in this armor. If we look at the ref pics, the pauldron is straight in the back so, if the shoulder bell were omitted for animation, the back part should be there as it's only skinning. I don't know if I explain well my thoughs ^^" sometimpes my english is not as good as I 'd like it is Quote
dashrazor Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Posted March 12, 2011 really unless you can make a pauldron out of a very flexible/stretchy material and add padding to lift it up and keep the shape. i dont see how it will look right.. i tried this with my paudron and far too much black showed and the shoulder without the bell was slumped down and uneven from the left.. i would say it would be a nice to have (even for centurion) as it would be very difficult to do without making a new type of pauldron from scratch. Quote
stevechewbacca[501st] Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 I think is a good idea. Making the pauldron from scratch could be hard but bring a better result than modifying the existing ones Quote
stevechewbacca[501st] Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) Hi guys ! I just saw that difference between normal armor and TFU one : -------- I think it could be great to cut the armor like the one in the game to be more and more accurate. I think I'll cut it as in the game because the normal shape doesn't allow me to rely on a seat but the TFU shape would be great for it in addition to being accurate ^^ What you guys think ?

Daetrin[Admin] Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) The butt you show looks overly trimmed, or not folded right. Compare that to these butts: ----------- Looks like a TM butt to me on the render. Edited September 20, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote
stevechewbacca[501st] Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 It looks like that yes, but the screen is taken in a low-angle shot and there is no armor between the legs. Well, it's probably for animation My armor is too thick to be deformed like that so that why I thought cut it to get the good shape as in the screenshot Quote
