Hitler & Mussolini

[The Capo]

@ Ekmek, I'll try that out. As far as the armband thing; I tried to shrink it and that didn't seem to work (there was a lot of clipping after that), so I used Chuggi's armband which sort of worked better (since he had the whole thing textured, and by that I mean the underbelly of the armband), the only problem is that the swastika logo looks a little warped (on the right side). I have attached an image.

@ HuaynaCapac; really? his cheeks need to be fatter? I appreciate your criticism, its definitely good to have criticism because it helps make the product better, but how much fatter are we talking here?

 

[Ekmek]

you know keep the previous armband - it really wasnt that noticeable and some armbands in nazi pictures looked like that. or post a nif and I can mess with it 9not chuggi one - i think the previous one was better)

or if you fix the uvs in blender you could get rid of the warping of chuggis

give the bg a shot its pretty easy

Nothing too drastic, just a little bit.

Luckily I saved the old nif, so we should be fine. I'll give the bg a shot now.

In his later days the cheeks were fatter I guess if the look huyana capac357 is looking for

 

[smeagolheart]

I think it's fine though as is (cheeks) and the armband is fine. All is good, we got a great leaderhead!

 

[bernie14]

looking REALLY good....now, just a small personal view.... (don't slap me please ) but....i think the background and the model dont contrast well, maybe too many browns, ...
i put together several scaled dds files (512x512), so you would still heve to change the scale, but the files are all names "hatshepsut_bkgr_(*****).dds", so just remove the (*****) and u can substitute to see what it looks like (if u like)

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

That Hitler is looking so good I could put the LH outside as a Scare-Jew!

"He's back! Save Jon Stewart! He's our most important Jew!"

 

[bernie14]

another slight modification to the nif, taking smeagolheart's observation into consideration....i played slightly with the local transforms and lighting.....i dont know how it would look in game, but this is a slightly fatter hitler, fatler? just for the team's consideration.....

 

[Ekmek]

fatler looks great - i was happy wit hte last version (it looked 1939ish to me).

 

[Huayna Capac357]

I like fatler. Though both are A+++ quality.

 

[Ekmek]

capo et al,

I'm working on an armband fix using bernie fatler. basically just retexturing the l sleve a bit. taking the uvs and repositioning them in a different spot on the uniform dds - and deleteing the band completely. it'll basically make the armband part of the suit instead of a separate object.

 

[Ekmek]

Capo and team

ok attached is a nif and a new suit dds. Just do the nif swap with te suit in this nif and remove the suit AND armband in your nif. this should fix the armband issue.

The one issue - and you probably dealt with it before is that it seemed real dark from Bernie's export. I vertex painted it a little but what ever you did before you mayhave to again. But this should take care of the armband issue. you don't need the old armband and suit dds's anymore (and you might want to check for unnecessary files in your folder).

looks great!!!....but i wonder how did the suit get so dark? i didnt darken the texture or the nif??

 

[The Capo]

Okay, the only problem here is that I have already altered the nif so that Chuggi's hair is on it (which I actually think looks better than the old hair we had which kind of looked painted on). So I can do one of two things, I can either (a) take all this crap together and remake it, or (b) put the LATEST file up (after Ekmek's swap) and have Bernie redo the nif so he has fatter cheeks (and maybe retexture the hair if he wants). To show you what I mean I am providing screens of MY latest version of Hitler (I plan on using the top-left bg that bernie provided in the FINAL FINAL version).

Originally the attached picture was going to be the "look I fixed the background image!" preview. But since all of this has been done I just want to post what it looks like now, at least from what I have. Does ANYONE ELSE feel like this is an all-star squad tackling one of the most annoying constant requests ever? (i.e. "We need a better Hitler"/"There isn't a good enough Hitler" COUGHwolfshanzeCOUGH)

 

[The Capo]

Should I see what the suit looks like on this Hitler I have (pre-fatler) or should I wait to see if the dark-suit-issue gets fixed?

EDIT: Fat Hitler is definitely more Hitleresque than Skinny Hitler. I am so anxious to get this thing posted and over with I think I am just going to do the editing myself. So I'll add Chuggi's hair and mustache, the one issue that remains is the dark suit, but I'll have a preview with a new bg and the new hair and stache on the fat hitler so we can see where we are. I hope the dark suit issue, if it truly is an issue, can be fixed without redoing the model again. Wish me luck.

i vote for (b), but can u include chuggi's hair in the new nif?, in any case, i did lighten the hair a bit in the texture when i posted fatler....

btw, i miss wolfie....


Edit: GOOD LUCK!!!

 

[The Capo]

It's going to have to be (b) becuase I just imported your Fat Hitler into Blender, added Chuggi's hair and mustache and then put Ekmek's suit on and when I compared it to my original Hitler it didn't look different in the face AT ALL. So I did it again, same thing. For some reason when I import your fat hitler into Blender it does not give me the fat Hitler. I have no idea why, and I am doing this right (because I know what I am doing). I don't get it. In any event what I am going to do is put Ekmek's suit on (which actually works fine and doens't look dark at all when you swap it for some reason) the Hitler I have (which has not been edited, let's call it skinny Hitler or Skitler) and then use one of your new BGs and then post the preview and that file (I may use smeagolheart's silver buttons rather than the gold/yellow buttons). Its a little annoying to do this after TWICE going into Blender, but I guess you gotta crack a few eggs when making an omelette. Omlet? Omlette? I don't know how to spell that apparently.

 

[The Capo]

Alright, looks good. Maybe Fatler will look better, we'll see what Bernie comes up with (I think the hair could use a BIT of retexturing). This is the latest version of Hitler I have on my computer. It has the original retexture/reworked nif from Bernie, Chuggi's hair and mustache, and Ekmek's revised suit/armband. As far as I am concerned as of right now this is the best Hitler available, and potentially the best ever made. That is until we see what Bernie does next. I have attached an in-game preview plus the whole file (which I called Skitler, or Skinny Hitler).

Wolfshanze would be proud...

NOTE: this works in game, so I suggest the entire team download it. Anyone else can too for that matter, in case you are following along. Or if you want to put him in a game and kick his ass.

EDIT: I decided not to use the silver buttons ala Smeagolheart because the background is grey and blue and I think the yellow makes him stand out more.

shouldnt be a problem....u will just have to test the final version in game! only a couple of eggs to go!

EDIT: GOT IT!! will get back to you soon
