Hi, I made this Star Wars leaderhead for some fun, I found a model for it and animated it. :)

Enjoy.

Does he look like the preview in-game? If so may I make a suggestion? if you're using Poser make sure anti-aliasing is ON in the render properties before rendering. his tattoos should be sharp and distinct then.

I'm a HUGE fan of the Holy Trinity (Star Wars) and have been using poser for many years. I just thought I'd give you my two cents. No offense intended.

It looks good but I noticed a few problems.

1)The frames are too big

2)There are too many frames (should be 121)

3)The animation time is too long (should be 1/100th of a second)

Hm, How many frames did I have? I recall making 121, the frames are too large eh? That's odd, I tested it out and they were flawless.

tpasmall:
Here is my proposal, if you fix the frames and the .pcxs, I'll let you use him in your Star Wars mod :)
Deal?

Ok it took me a while, working with animations that big is a bit time consuming but its worth it. The file size is actually 1/10th the original size being around 1.7 mbs now. Anyways I hope that this is used.

The size of your animations were.... i believe 9x the size of what they should be. The frame size was a little more than 3x larger and the number of frames was 3x as many.
