SWBF2 Raptor WIP

[MileHighGuy]

I am making a raptor model in hopes of putting it into the Star Wars Battlefront 2. It will probably end up being a Utahraptor or Achillobator, but I am modeling it after the ones from Jurassic Park.



I have been using the subdivision method, or whatever it is called, and have been having a lot of fun. It started to feel like making a Spore creature after a while.

I might take it into Sculptris to add detail and make a normal map or something. I guess I will have to do polygon reduction on it before putting it in game.

Please post feedback on the model! Any tips for modeling it for SWBF2?

tip: use tauntaun skeleton and animation for it

WOW. This unit...ehm I meant animal looks really cool. I guess there's someone here who will love this model more than anybody else here..

Jurassic park mod? :O

Wow, looks good! Can't wait to see a T Rex too... please?

After trying and failing to convert a raptor I found that was made for JKA, I decided to return back to my project.

I redid the hands, head, and feet, with minor adjustments to the body.





I made it more accurate this time. The hands now face each other instead of facing down which they couldn't do. I am planning on adding feathers!

I will take it into Scupltris soon.

Yeah, yeah, but you modders were so preoccupied with whether or not they could model it that they didn't stop to think if they should.

But for real, this looks amazing

Needs some chris pratt action I think. Seriousley though, this is awesome, really like the improvements on the hands.

Wait a second...

Yeah, we definitely need this. I remember once thinking about having this as my unit for a GT map. I never made it though, but this is one mighty fine model so far. Great work!

If you made custom animations for this, that would be amazing.

I'd almost rather see this enveloped to a human skeleton. Imagine a raptor walking around like a person, haha...... that's just silly.

Is there a tutorial for the subdivision method that you can link?

Its not any easier than box modeling really.

thanks btw does anyone know how to do this "freezing the model's operating stack before exporting?"

Hey there -- I hate to bump an old thread, but this is a great and inventive concept. There is a chance I may be working on something similar. Did you ever make any further progress on the model? And do you -- or does anyone -- know what's going on with the skeleton? Would it indeed be a taun-taun skeleton? And is it possible to have that be a playable unit in this case? How would one go about figuring out the attacks of a creature with a taun-taun skeleton -- could you steal from other creatures' attacks or would you have to create custom animations?

Just a few thoughts and questions about your project that may also apply to my own possible project.
