Hirmans Ahsoka Tano

Description
Hello there, it's been... a while since I've last reviewed a file. All because of somebody trying to frame me which resulted in me being fired o.=, but that's all fixed now. I'm back and ready to move the file queue, so here I go.

What we have here today is a new model to our collection. Not just a random model though, it's Ashoka Tano, Anakin's Apprentice from the recent Clone Wars Animated Series (the 3D ones, for those who spent last year under a rock or something :P ). Because it comes in 3 variants I'll try to describe them one after another.

The first one is obviously, the default one. It shows how Ashoka looks in most of the episodes, with her normal bra-shirt, gauntlets, skirt, leggings and leather boots. As much as it comes to accuracy it looks pretty decently. The model could use some work still, because some parts are inaccurate. For example there is complete lack of gloves, even though Ashoka had gloves that were a part of the gauntlets. Another thing is head, which looks a bit too square, but that could be just me.

The second variant is the same as the first with the exception that it has a backpack. The very same one in which Ashoka carried Jabba's son in the movie. The backpack looks nice and accurate so there's nothing else I can say about this one.

Finally the last one, which is hooded version of Ashoka. She carries a cloak with a hood that covers up her lekku and bends in the same place where lekku bend, so that's a good thing, since I've seen a few Twi'lek hooded skins with hoods that didn't form as they should because of the lekku. Sadly, the hood suffers from a bit of clipping in animations (you can see head stick out on the back of the hood aswell as it's sides) while cape is as stiff as on VaderVM. That would be all when it comes to this variat, now time for a bit of criticism on texturing.. or maybe lack of it.

The whole model seems to have the textures photosourced from many images that could be found on google which makes it look well, not up to the "good" standard. Photosourcing shouldn't be done unless you know what you're doing, in this case I can safely assume the person wanted to finish it fast, but it turned out as it shouldn't. The "textures" are blurry, you can see straight away they were copied and they lack accuracy. The face is the biggest issue really, beacuse of the photosourcing, it looks stiff, unreal. The lekku Have pretty much no shading or detail at all, cape suffers from the same issue. The leggings have wrong color, they were white with slight addition of pink, not pink as the author made them. I suggest looking into those details if V2 is ever going to be released.

Overall it's a good start, but in my eyes it's more of a unfinished product, fixing up the problems would really give a lot of love to this model and surely get more attention to it. As a side note I'd like to add that there are also team skins and new sounds, so don't worry.
Last thing I've got to say, is that the author suggested using Ashoka's lightsaber hilt made by Ashura, so if you want a "complete experiance", I suggest you grab it :)

Now please submit some bandwidth if this model fits your taste.
