Wow. The Duros is well made indeed, nicely done Dak
A question though: since you can make armored robes, have you thought making an armored robe of Ulic Qel-Droma, or perhaps Exar Kun's? In Every picture I've seen they always have a cool set of armor, it would be fun to make it wearable in-game.
Do you think it's possible?
Unfortunately no. Mostly because I wouldn't really know what to do

When I get a moment I'd be more than happy to give it a go if you like... do you have a reference picture?

Well I've been checking for some pictures. I've managed to found some.
I'm no modder, but from what I've seen around here in the forums, I don't think if this is possible or not... anyway here it goes
He has some that are pretty dang close and those are probably way better than I could ever do
What I would probably do for Kun's robe is put Revan's cape (for the shoulders, mostly) on Bandon's armor or something, but I haven't been able to get Revan's cape model to work correctly for some reason. So as of now it's a kind of/maybe situation
I'm currently making some items for Dr. Hal's merchant WIP which I am really looking forward to, and then back to cracking the whole alien thing.
I haven't had much time for modding lately, but I've recently decided to revamp my "Republic Armored Robes" mod into an "Armored Robes" mod. This means that on top of the Republic robes, there will also be Sith robes. Lots of people have been asking for Sith Variations, so I'm going to give it a shot. I will also include female versions of each so that it will feel more complete.
Here's the first Sith armor, Sith Holocron recommended the combination of these two models in particular and I think they look great.

Sorry if it's a little dark, I forgot to brighten it up a bit.
Nice work! Might I recommend though, using one of the bulkier robes? Just a suggestion. Though it might look cool.
Can't wait to see what you've got coming next.
I, for one, approve of the Ewoks. They're a fine representation of the primitive natives doing better in their own environment than the invading white man.
Take that, Avatar.

Nice combo! My only suggestion would be to edit the model (or maybe the skin somehow?) to make the calves seem smaller. Right now, they look disproportionately bulky.

They do look bulky and it kind of annoys me, but I want to keep it that way because there is no female model for the Ubese Assassin armor. That means I have to make one and I want people to be able to see the difference between the two, you know?
Here's what I came up with for the female. It has its problems (specifically the head) but from what I hear from people regarding female stuff I would think that it's better than nothing...

And the male had a couple problems I fixed, not that I know if you can tell the difference but why not:

And a strange request:
If anyone is interested in doing a couple skins for the Sith robes, just reply here or pm/vm me. I'm kind of stumped
Well these are supposed to be sithy, so something, well, sithy. Hehe. Want me to send you the files?
Aye send them over, I have a few things in mind...

Hey guys, it's been a little while since I've done any work of my own! Getting back into skinning now, going to do a v2 of my skin pack and I've also been trying to finish my armored robes mod, which will eventually add female models and 2 new sith models as well. But that's in the future; skin pack is first, so I'll stop talking and move onto pics of what I have
Show spoiler
HK-47
Show spoiler
Atton

Bao-Dur

Mandalore

Mandalorians
(The pic is dark so I'll try for a better one)

Khoonda Militia
(Again sorry for darkness)
My goal this time around is to make everything look a bit more real and make stuff more fun to look at -- I would like some feedback and also if anyone wants to see something in particular re-skinned to speak up. I plan on making this a big pack!
HK looks great! Not sure about the red eyes, seeing as the original eye color(s) are kind of integral to the story, but the skin itself is fantastic! I also love the militia and the subtle Mandalore enhancements. Atton's facial hair still looks pretty rough. Maybe try making it a touch more salt-and-pepper?

Thanks, HK took me forever to get something that looked good -- I decided just to try to enhance his regular look instead of giving him a new one (which set the tone for the rest of the pack) or beat him up like has been done so many times. What should I do with the eyes, make them more on the orange side?
About Atton's facial hair, I'm not really sure what you mean... how do you think I should improve it? Thanks for the feedback though!
Well, my thought was that the HKs' eye color is rather distinctive and has a small place in the story, seeing as it changes from orange to blue from HK-50 to HK-51. So, yeah, I guess I'm saying more on the orange side, haha.
I realized some of what I was seeing in the Atton shot was just the aliasing on the render. I think maybe touches of gray could help texturize the beard. In general it just seem flat, which is the problem I find with most facial hair add-ons. Maybe try adding a subtle ripple effect or some sort of bump map distortion over fractal noise? Just something to add more random texture to it.

In the screenshot you have, his facial hair looks kinda blurry and smudged. It's sort of like he just smeared shoe polish on his face to "fake" a beard . Maybe you could post a better resolution close up? That way, we could see the detail.
Sorry my PC takes such horrid screenshots, it's never helped me when it comes to trying to make my mods look good
I guess the best close up shot I have is here since I haven't edited Atton's head yet, just the clothes. Looking at those now the portraits suck though, glad I'm making a v2!
And Candy is right about that tutorial, I don't think it has the same noise filter which is really what starts the whole thing.
Thanks, that skin pack has been finished and sent off to kotor files and my armored robes mod is up there and on TUCE (harmless self-promotion? )
Started work on another mod that changes Canderous' default clothing to something... cooler that I think most people will like (Darth Payne I know you will like the skin)
All I have to do is work on the neck positioning so that the head fits ok and also make the texture stretching look a bit better if possible.

Perhaps you could make the neck differently. Instead of being 'flat' like that, you could give him some kind of armoured collar that rises up around his neck. I'm thinking of Bastila's neck collar. That way, if you equip a helmet, his skin coloured neck won't be showing.

yeah. You'll just have to make sure that the collar doesn't clip with the neck while he's turning his head, or if he's setting up for a fight (flourish animation). I also see that there is some transparent space across the top of the collar. I'd still close that in, just like all the other body models that have neck stumps.

Yeah I'll have to move around some verts still. The problem with the transparency is that the part of the neck model is there but it doesn't show from certain angles. I can try to get it as close as I can though. Thanks RR, your advice is always helpful!
Lately I've been having a lot of fun playing with the in-game models, isolating them from their elements and allowing the player to use them where he couldn't before.
Examples so far:
Show spoiler
Both of the above have been shipped to KotOR Files and I'm planning on doing a Republic/Sith pack for TSL which includes the Republic helmets and officer hats and the Sith officer hats.
I want to know if anyone has any cool ideas of parts of models they would like to see. If you have ideas please share! I'd love to do it for you.
Sweet thats really cool!
I have a good idea for a helmet, the Mando helmets. It might take some modification to make it look normal with armour but it would be sweet.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks guys, I'll eventually be doing the headwear mod I mentioned before which will include a bunch of items from Seikan also. I've made about half the items, but that's being put on hold...
I'm going to try my hand at my own recruit mod. Scripting is the only thing I've never really tried, so I decided I'm up for the challenge (maybe )
It's going to be "Recruit Dak Drexl" - he will be a Republic soldier on Manaan. This is where I suck: creative stuff! Anyone have any cool story ideas or something? My idea was that he overhears Roland Wann give you your quest to break into the Sith base and he wants in. However, he will need some dialogue and stuff. I'm really bad with this sort of thing, so can let the more creative minds of the forum speak
Hm it looks like some of this thread got deleted somehow, so feel free to re-post your stuff if you want.
A little update, it's taking me a while to do because I'm just learning to script but I think I made a good bit of progress so far:
Dak will spawn after Roland Wann tells you about breaking into the Sith base. He will approach you... (note that his appearance is still being worked on and his head is just a placeholder at the moment)
Show spoiler
And you have to initiate conversation. Some snippets of his pre-recruit dialog (not in order so don't let that confuse you):
Show spoiler
And Dak in the party (portrait notwithstanding )
Show spoiler
Special thanks to Bead-v, HarIII and Qui-Gon Glenn getting me up to this point.
Now, I have my sidequest chosen. After you unlock Dak's dialog (I don't think it will take much because I want the player to be able to take part in this sooner than later), he will get a holo message thing from a Republic officer (note that names haven't been chosen yet). In the message the officer will tell Dak to report to the Republic Academy on Carida to receive his mission. I'm not going to spoil the mission just yet though. Basically, however, the player will be allowed to travel to the new location!
The first module will be a re-skinned Yavin station, which is the Republic Station. From there you will be able to take a shuttle to the adacemy. Module for that has not been chosen yet, but I've been tossing around a few ideas.
Questions, comments, and criticisms are encouraged!
