Thanks for the HD post defstartrooper
I still don't have wookiegroomers HD empire
God, I want it soo bad!!!! Someone sent me a link to a torrent for it, but I just can't give up that time to download it. Wish some one would offer a two DVD set of it without any compression used on the WM files.
I need my PC with all it's resources at all times to do the 3d stuff I do, so waiting 3 days on the torrent and leasing my resources. Isn't possible for me.
I've been working on a 3d copy of Yoda for ages now teaching myself the program through this sculpt.
DB73 images have an aspect ratio issue that makes them look wrong.
What's really urking me right now with my sculpt attempt- is the eyes true size.
Even using the measurements listed in the Yoda Eye Thread here dedicated to the subject- It's not giving up accurate results that match the eye's look in the film. I've tried tons of things to fix this.
I wish images of the actual eyes would leak.
I think the pupil & iris are painted on both the original eyes in an odd uneven/uncentered way.
It's not like they were made on a PC. But the milling'lathe work done to make the resin eyes should have been pretty accurate as far as spherical roundness goes.
The spherical curvature of my eyes look too pronounced in contrast to the film's eyes. I hope it's a size issue and not a spherical curvature issue. In 3d programs, 3d spheres have a perfectly spherical curvature.
I've played around with the pupil/iris location and everything to try to get it right, and it's driving me nuts.
There is a much nicer looking original latex Yoda puppet in Astoria, New York at the "Museum Of The Moving Image"
I think Stuart Freeborn Donated it to them.
The latex eyes lower lids are droopy on it, cause well it's an original latex casting from the Empire time period, and age has hit it up a little.
At anyrate- You can see the original eye shape better. But I've only seen a few images of it online and I don't live anywhere near NY.
If I did I would go there so fast, and take tons of images of his eyes and blissl and cane and face.
