Kitty Corp Meow Mix Forums

I was thinking about making a topic specifically for models that were made by the community, and not imported from somewhere. Take this as a showcase topic, where you can post progress on any model you are building, for discussing and receiving feedback. If you want to post a link for a model you created already, feel free to do so. I believe a lot of people will want to see what you've got to show!

Here o-o

All of those look awesome, specially the first one. Looks legit if you ask me.

This is interesting. I'll definitely be checking in every now and then. ;D

Count Bleck (Paper Mario) Texture by Dot.

Katniss Everdeen WIP (Hunger Games)

Watt (Paper Mario)

Broggy(M&L BiS)
Still need work.

Sasuke(Black Costume) Modified model with custom texture.

Love you  :srs:

subscribing for the heck of it

btw, what if it was a ripped model we're editting and stuff, would that count? (take beyond's deadpool as an example)

I'll watch this thread >.>

Well, I guess so, since you're creating something new, even if it's got parts of an existing something.

*watches this thread*

Continue showing custom models guys. :3

Well... it's not much considering it was for an effect file but..

I made this for Shoutmon.

Looks cool so far.  ;D

Kuribo Shoe   :P (SMB3)

epic stuff, but wont that note-thingy be too high-poly for a graphic effect?

Thanks. And it's actually done.

Dat shoe.

Idk. Probably.

Of course, if I was planning to use it, I'd lower the count.

Might wanna make the OP cleaner and add the different models there, Br3. If this gets enough attention, I might sticky it. :P

I'll try to. Depending on how much activity this thread gets, it will need organization in order to browse easily.

good models

Making Omnimon's garurucannon my way. Since there weren't really any direct references.
The model I have of him didn't come with a cannon on the inside of the head.

Huh. This thread looks interesting. I have a few:

Kumatora


Happy and Smile.
These renders were made for art instead of preview though, so they're a bit flashy...

Naga-Ette
From Chrono Trigger. Might put it over Peach or Zelda when I get a chance.


These are just the 100% custom ones though. Are we allowed to show our model edited ones too?

That's your answer.^

i tought youll show vanellope here >_>

Well, in that case...

This one is edited:

Light Armor Suit Samus
This never got done for some reason I forgot, lol.


And these are 100% Customs I completely forgot about in my last post, haha.

Egg Salamander WIP
It's the Final Boss of Sonic Rush. Or, Half of it at least.

Mr. Glow
Made as practice. My first Custom Model.

X-Face
Made this using my avatar as its texture, lol. It was made to help people I know learn how to rig.

I'll probably make a version with how I actually think X-Face should look like later, haha.

I was going to after I did the hair, buuut...instead of doing the hair today, I watched Motto To Love-Ru Trouble(season 2) all day and am watch To Love-Ru(season 1).
Dats right I accidently watched season 2 first, but it didn't make much of an impact(My mistake, that is).
Offtopic :happy:

and Mr SWAG,Spex? its custom too
btw you really have awesome stuff here.

OH LOL. Forgot about him. There's probably other stuff I forgot, haha.

And thank you.

Lol i didnt see this.
Btw Awesome :af2:


haha hope there are more models :af:
also Swag!

Ok, here's my custom models. Moka is the only one I've model edited off of which was from a base of Ikaros. But I edited like 90%, for the record, which took about a month and a half (for both Inner and Outer completely). :srs:
My First Custom Model ever:
Ikaros' Bow and Arrow(Not UV'd)Ikaros' Uranus System(Will resume some day):The other of Ikaros' weapons: Outer Moka: Inner Moka: Vanellope without hair(She'll definitely look better with hair :srs: ):

[censored]; all that stuff is damn epic!!!!
Really awesome stuff you have SmashBros. Clash :happy:

She looks awesome, and she doesn't have any textures or hair yet. xD

Some pretty cool models here

oh btw, texture is 100% from scartch, it had a weird UVmap, so i remade it and stuffz...
its not perfect, like at some seams between glasses and mask and stuff it looks weird, but im pretty happy with the overall quality, and i cant find a model that suits the torso D:

Sticky'ed because I can. Complaints? Grab a ticket and wait in line. :notimp:

We need a Sissel or Yomiel, for those who HAVE played Ghost Trick, model import...

CAN`T WAIT FOR VANELLOPE CAUSE IM A WRECK-IT RALPH FANBOY XD
Hope it is comming soon.
I´m sure ToonLink will die lol

I have some custom models I've made. I'm going to make a thread for them, but until I do, I'll just put this here.

Indeed. That's him.

OMG!
those are epic models and textures dude!
if you really made those, mad skills.

Wow, great job!

That's what happens when you spend two months working on a model. :P

I don't think I'm great at this, but I certainly put a lot of effort into making it look right.

Humble too. I think I'm going to like seeing this guy around.

You should make some more sexy Brawl-styled models. I think people would love rigging them. It could help promote your work :P

Yeah man, keep up that good work.

Wow. Looks great. I would download that. ^^

Awesome texturing work Perdian and Pik. I suck at texturing :c
I have made some custom models as well, some good some unfinished, some just a head.
Satan (Very early WIP)

Jake the dog (done, just not rigged)

Fireman.EXE (First model i think, I like it)

Pepsiman  :P (edited from another model, textures suck, don't be fooled by the shader)

Yarida ( a patapon, I LOVE that game)

Slenderman (Suit is from another model, since I couldn't texture one properly :-\)

Whoa, i'd get that O_o

*Subscribes*

oh, i totally forgot about this thread... xD

dont worry, i'll make those lips brown as well, and if it still wont fit, then well, i'll just take it off xD

Man, all those custom made models are mindblowin'.

announcing i'll need someone to texture pinsir or it'll never see the light of the day, cuz im uncapable of making him look how i want him to look...

Be specific. How do you want him to look.

realistic and creepy...
so the main body would be textured in such a way it has 2 pieces, like the normal pinsir, whose body has this seam in the middle of where his mouth is...

Your Pinsir can fight this guy once they're done :)
(http://imageshack.us/a/img812/5903/kabutopswip.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/812/kabutopswip.jpg/)

Who's Pinsir going over anyways? Kabutops is on Falco.

i have no idea who he should go over, ive been thinking bowser cuz of the legs, bad thing is pinsir has no proper head, and bowser's head is pretty important... could be interesting to see him use flamethrower out of his horns though :P

A Ganondorf design that started out Skyward Sword-y then gradually became Ocarina of Time-y. Oh well, I still like it.

(http://i46.tinypic.com/2j6t94.jpg)

He looks good to me, Angelglory.

His stomach seems to wide though..

Hm... Interesting model. It's kinda like the OoT Ganondorf in the later parts of the game... When you're playing as Adult Link. Except less Pinocchiodorf looking.

Only detail that's kinda bothering me might be the waist armor. That seems a bit off to me for some reason... And why IS is saying "His stomach seems to wide." But I'm not completely sure what's wrong... Maybe the white part near the crotch area? That part seems to clash a bit.

Anyway... I look forward to seeing this finished.

I just wonder though... Will he have proper moving eyes? And expressions?

We've been needing a modernized OoT Ganondorf. The ones in the vault are plain ugly.

Sorry Melee players, but Pinnocchiodorf looks UUUUUUUUUUUUGH-ly.

model looks good, and looks quality-ish, but the face looks ugly, not saying bad, just ugly as a face...
and all ur isues with his big nose are just plain weird, ALL the gerudo's had big noses

Well, making Ganondorf NOT ugly would almost be a crime.


But the big noses... Well, it looked silly. He didn't look intimidating in OoT. He looked like a monkey.

In TP, they made his nose smaller. And as a result... He actually looks better.


On this model, his nose is still rather broad. But not stupidly long. Which seems fine with me.

TP ganon looks good, but they [censored]ed it up with his hair xD
and dont forget ur talking about a N64 game, anyway, this is just a mather of taste and opinions, so we should probably stop about it xD
since i wont make u think OoT's nose looked good, and u wont make me think it looked bad

Well the model's pretty much done, but I can easily go back and fix it up some more since nobody's taken the request in the request forum yet.

The white strap was supposed to be more Gerudo print, but the UVs didn't work out, though I know how to fix it now.

So it's that and make his stomach a bit slimmer...?

EDIT: Well, I've done all I can do with it, you can see the updated model in the request forum.

This is what I am working on. It will have Blinking Eyes and Different Mouths:

I made a custom Vanellope model.
I know it is very low poly but this is because i made it for MKW.
Perhaps i will import it into brawl or someone else can use it when my mkw hack is done.

(http://img3.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/vanellopeprevitkqvdp26oz.png) (http://www.fotos-hochladen.net)

Pretty good for low-poly.
SmashClash was working on his own Vanellope, but I think he's gonna have it over Olimar.

Whoa, I def. want that model for MKWii

Mine was going to be over Toon Link...

Bah.
Shows what I remember.

I´m not sure on wich character it goes in brawl.
SmashClash I can´t wait for your highpoly vanellope!!
I love it <3

what is left on your model?
*hair
*texturing

right?

Correct.
I haven't modeled in a month cuz idk.

are you planning to work on it in the near futur?

Idk when. But I will.

Making Paint Roller from the Kirby Series!
did this model cause I haven't seen one 3D Paint Roller yet plus I will use this model to my portfolio

why can't I do good textures ;_;

I like paint roller :)
Are you using gimp for textures?

no, I am using photoshop

Hm...

The eyes' textures look kinda pixely.

Try using... Maybe the blur brush on the outer part of the eyes? That might soften them up.

used the effect "stroke" to make a lineart on the eyes o.o
can try to redo that and make it softer

I don't think you need to.

Just alter it a bit. There should be a blur brush, or something. This should basically add more depth to the line art.


Also, for getting started with the other textures... You can borrow things from other characters. Even things from other games. Just make them fit in. That's what I do when trying to texture.

no sadly, this model will be 100% custom made from scratch!

meaning the rollershoes will be hard and the gloves will be extremly hard

reason why is because I will show up my model to jobs that I am seeking together with otherstuff that I can say "This is 100% mine"

Also, the textures are lower quality because he's not rendering. If it's a HQ texture, it'll look better when it's rendered, because that is how it will look ingame. You can mess with the options to have full-scale textures in the normal viewports too, though.

nope, it was the texture itself. dont know how it did get that pixelish.

but here is an improvement!
(http://i47.tinypic.com/73fe9t.png)

Isn't that character from Kirby?

yes it is! it's paint roller boss from the kirby series!

Made this a few days ago after seeing the trailer for Pokemon X and Y.

it scares me of how good I am but at the same time how scary the hand are!

that one was awesome! :3

why the the middle finger have the same size as the index finger?

cause you will have something to ask about!

also, the wierd thing is that his gloves on the official artwork. all the fingers there are in same size o.o

lol ok :D
I like the progress on it.
Does I missed on wich character he will be?

Just thought... ya know... I put this here...

...
...
...

why are you giving me that look?

...

I WAS BORED OK!

the head looks best in that model, i would round the torso and legs a bit though, they look kinda cubic, smoothed, yes... but cubic...

Awesome head indeed. Love the ears. Same comment, the body is not curved enough. also the way the tail splits at the end is a little bit odd.

epic! yes import it!

I guess it is huh? I'll try to smooth it out, and i may post umbreon here too in the coming days

(http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab8/Spex130/Td1_zps77196b30.png)

Something I made in practice. This is still a 3DS Max render, but I want it to look somewhat like that ingame.

Look like a new Wireframe. I like it.

indeed it looks like a multiman thingy, and it looks VERY good, the only down i see are the feet, they look kinda wonky...

i need that so badly :srs: you guys should include an omega texture too.

So does anyone in this thread want to finish vectorman? Cause I'm on my last leg with him...

what's the problem with him?
he seems way too easy for anyone to abandon it...
i mean, everything is single binding rig wise, so unless it's texture wise, idk what's wrong...
and een if it's texture wise, we won't expect you to do stuff you can't, just make it as good as you can.

Yeah, that's the thing ._. I can't figure out how to fix the eye textures. I suppose I should've said I need someone to fix the eye textures rather than finish it.
Other than that he's pretty much done. I think he's way too many vertexes too, you know hence why I had him so 'blocky' but nope, people had to have him smooth. *shrug*

dude that last sentene makes no [censored]ing sense at all...

2 models with exact the same polycount can be blocky or smooth... just add a smooth modifier, not a turbosmooth :srs:

Yeah, after a few good looks I don't really like the toes either. I'll definitely get them looking more natural.

Anybody having issues with UV mapping should try this program. Used it as a test a while back for the 48 hour contest by Riddler and have been using it ever since. Remember to read the Tutorial which is a PDF file before using.

so just a generic female body... why dont you edit zero suit samus?

meh, I need to learn modeling/texturing at some point (as there's some characters I want to make that I can't get models for) so it'll be a good chance to learn how to make my own models.

though I am going to cheat and steal Hinata's hair from Clash of Ninja 3 XP

Also kinda tired of taking the lazy way out of things XP

Stuff and what not >.>

So...Sexy.

Peardian you need to be one of the modelers for the next Smash bros game. Seriously.

Still need some work. Mostly done from memory

looks cool, i dont know what it is, so no more feedback xD

(http://i.imgur.com/UpSZdon.png)

i didnt make the ears, face is tidus' editted, hair is hwoarang's editted, goggle thingy is fully custom, shirt is Kung Lao's... still looking for some good arms xD

Nice. I thought you got the face from this model (http://xnalara-customized.deviantart.com/art/Jak-355501080) though. I would like to see how it turns out when you are done.


also finished the Devastator
(http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2013/050/5/e/px6_devastator_by_o0demonboy0o-d5vh511.png)

also not really a custom model but I ripped this and edited the heck out of it to make it look the way it is
actually took a few days to get it to look right.

i was gonna use that face, but it was way too high-poly, the face alone had 12000 verts.
so i ended up using only it's hair and ears...

here's a up to date picture:

made another

looks pretty cool, dontknow much about keyblades, so that's all i can say lol

Peardian's got skills.

he sure has.
best thing is he seems to fully understand/comprehend brawl's art style, and is able to apply it to anything...

Got bored again so I started making this.
(http://i607.photobucket.com/albums/tt157/cottenballs/fortuneold_zpsc128be2c.jpg)

dude, that is [censored]ing epic!

although, if you plan on getting her into brawl, it seems a bit high poly...

is it fully custom, or did u use some base?

yeah, it's a bit high poly because i'm using Felicia as a base. although i could make a lower poly version once i'm done if anyone wants to get it into brawl.

Meh, Felicia worked fine in Brawl (but it sure as hell pushed the limit to near-insane levels). If the model's not more than 17,000 polygons/9200 vertices your custom model should work fine.

for the face and hair you could use kit's model

Yeah I know, but the way i'm editing this model is messy and rigging would be a pain if left as is. the model doesn't really need to be this high poly anyway. i'm pretty much just going to remodel this once i got everything in the right place.


I was thinking about it but Kit's face wouldn't work. Her hair might though.

that's really good dude, I've been working on a model myself. It's Yveltal from Pokemon Y: (http://i.imgur.com/g2CP32W.jpg)
and it's only 8994 polygons (faces) ;D

Holy [censored]. Nice :srs:

Nice, Way better than anything then I could every make

nah, you guys are just being nice about it. Yours is really good too DemonBoy. ;D

I'm being serious. That's an awesome custom model.

well, thanks. ;D The whole thing took about 2 and a half hours.

Man slap that mofo on Charizard and I'd insta-download.

Can anyone please do a tutorial on how to do this?

I support this, the only custom models I can make are making a ball and moving the vertices until I decide I suck and steal parts of another model.

Model making is not something exclusive to brawl, so a tutorial here would be unlikely. You could just Google around. There is low-poly character modelling tutorial around that I found very useful.

Yeah but how would I like assign polygons and such to the model and import into brawlbox and stuff it is not just about making the models

That'll be model importing, there are plenty of tutorials of that (plus rigging) over at the "model tutorial" section. That is when you already have the model which you could get or make yourself.

Nice. I like where this is going.

Legs seem a bit short, though. Lego legs are generally a bit taller than the torso.

Yeah, I noticed they were a bit short
I can just vertex stretch the spots inbetween the two holes.
Also, I might need help texturing the torso, everything else I think I can manage lol
Best part is it can be customised and we have loads of options for recolors.

Nubby practice model.
Its a Roull, a character me and some of my friends made up, they populate Roull City and are, well, a "bit", dumb, they are constantly victims of iamsocool.

Its already rigged, but I need to do one thing, his head looks normal in that but when I replace the model all of the faces on his head are replaced with the side texture, so if someone could tell me how to apply a seperate texture to each face for brawl I would be happy :p

Oh and the shoulders don't look like that in animations.

What's the UV layout like? Brawl only accepts one material per object, so unless each of those sides of the cube are separate objects (which would be silly), you need to have a single texture for the entire head and fit the head's UVs to that texture.

Also, depends on who is he over. Some use different objects for the faces, some only different textures.

OK, well since I've never made a model for brawl I guess I'm gonna need a bit of help with this, If I were to make a texture for his whole head (By the way he's over Luigi), would it be something like:
Also, I have no idea what a UV Layout is sadly... eheh.. he...

For Brawl, every object can only have one material applied to it. And each material can only have one texture. It sounds like you're using different texture files for each side, which is why once you import it into Brawlbox they all become the same. Brawl ignores all the textures but the first.

If this is the problem, you have two ways of going about fixing this. The first is to lay out your UVs so that all your textures can be placed together into one single texture file.

The second method is easier, but also less efficient. Make each side of his head a separate object. So, if his head is a cube, he'd have six different objects, and then you can apply one texture file to each of those.

If you go the UV way, your texture doesn't need to be quite like what you have here. It looks like the sides and back of the head are using the same image, so to be more efficient, you can overlay the uvs of each side on top of each other, and only have that image present once in your texture. This gives you more room on the texture to use for other things, or just to allow the images to be higher-res without scaling up your final texture size.

I need someone to tell me how to do the UV Mapping properly then, when I tried it still just did the texture on every face thing.

Edit: I got seriously sick of UV Mapping so I lazily just gave him extruding hair to hide the other faces on his head, when I used it in brawl the textures were completely messed up though... :\

box UVmapping is realy simple...

once you get in the UVunwrap modifier, you click on edit, click on face selection, click on the UVs once, now you have one of the faces selected, move it around, and check in the model viewport what face you are manipulating, after getting all faces apart, just make them fit in the main square, even if your texture isnt gonna be square shaped, you have to fit them in.
play a bit ariound, and you'll soon enough see what i mean

You ought to look up a pelt mapping tutorial. Makes everything sooo much easier. I use it on everything!

This thread needs moar love. The WIP Workshop thread is taking all the attention.
That, and more people need to make custom models...

So, started on this. If you know who this character is, you are awesome:

BJ says normal maps work in Brawl. Haven't tried it myself, but...

Isn't that Dillon/Dillion/whatever, Kage?

Aaaaand Segtendo just proved his awesomity.
Yup, Dillon, the last ranger.

And yes, he's joining the Brawl if I finish him.

They sure do. It's not too hard to set up, provided you have the textures.

Although, by "Normal" maps you mean things like "Spec" maps or stuff like that, right? I'm still a little green when it comes to actual 3D modeling lingo.

Nope. Normal maps are different than Spec maps. Spec maps affect how much light bounces off an object; an object's shininess. Normal maps affect what direction light bounces off an object; how round is the object. They're best used in conjunction. Until a day or two ago I didn't think Brawl used normal maps, but BJ said he found normal map calls in the files. So... theoretically they work. Check out Nanobud's spec map tutorial. That's where we talked about the differences more in depth.

I only brought it up because the only reason to do a high-poly sculpt is to create a normal map, and sometimes a texture map. And it looks like Kage is using Zbrush. Or maybe Mudbox. But either way, not a model that will actually work in game in its current state.

Yup, Zbrush.
Also, I find sculpting more fun than straight modeling, at least for organic shapes. And I don't find retopologizing for the low poly as horrible as most Zbrush users I've met do.

...Also there's the matter that there'll probably be a more definite idea of how Brawlbox can use normal maps by the time I'm done with it, so I can just leech that knowledge...

yeah, I saw that guy on the 3ds e-shop yesterday. lol. nice model though, and excellent Mewthree Vaanrose.

Since I said I'd do this long ago, I think is time I show the little progress I have.
I saw a request to import this

And so for I have this. Created a base mesh, gave it a simple unwrap for a pattern (chainmail like atm). I also have made the sword and most of the armor. I am not really good at texturing so for now that is on hold, I only unwrapped the sword and gave it a solid texture. Hands are Ike's btw, got lazy there.

Suggestions, opinions, etc are welcome

that's gonna look awesome. ;D

Reminds me of Tiger and Bunny. O.o

Hand the textures off to me when you're done with the basic stuff, lwvi?

I'd love to texture and make spec maps for this!

Working on a Sheik model that has her face revealed. Still uncertain about the current hairstyle. I may model a more conventional kunoichi style with frontal bangs and a higher positioned ponytail. But not yet.

Besides that, completely reworked the body. Has a more feminine shape. Also, it's fully rigged and articulated alongside the original Sheik model.

However I'm having two issues... First, her eyes will not show properly (in game) and I'm unsure how to get them back. If I do add Zelda's eye shapes w/textures, it causes problems, and sometimes makes the game freeze. Even though I added the textures. In Brawl minus, the entire game freezes at stage select. Project M, however, has no major problems loading up thus far. <- This indicates a serious problem in the model itself, and I have no idea how to fix it! (I make models, not code games! :3)

(No screenshots yet)

Did you use the original materials and shaders from Sheik's original brawl model?

Yes, mostly. The only new texture is from Zelda's .pac and I edited it to cover the entire sphere of her head. (I remade a new scalp for her)

Everything I used in the scene, which was only that one additional image, I included in Sheik's pac/pcs files.

Hmm

Well when the model is done, and if you're still having problems, feel free to shoot me a PM. I'd be more than happy to take a look at it and see what the problem could be.

Oh, I've already run a few tests with the model myself! ^^ I'll send what I have directly to you.

Note: I've only successfully tested on Project M. Brawl- tends to freeze upon choosing a stage.

Shot in the dark, but what's your file size looking like? Whether a character loads or crashes is usually an issue with file size. It's the character's file size, plus the size of the character's FitMotionEtc (explaining why the mod would work with one moveset and not the other; Project M probably has a smaller file size.)

Don't quote me on this, but I think Zelda and Sheik share total file size, too, so a smaller Zelda file can allow a larger Sheik file size before crashing, and vice versa.

You may have a point. Though I'm not entirely sure if Sheik's files are over-limit, whatever limit that should be, it does seem to work without error in Project M. I sent Nanobuds a copy of my project files, but if you think you can find out what's wrong with it I'll send you the files as well.

Now, call this intuition, but I think there may be something in relation to the codes loaded from RSBE01.gct. I managed to install several Minus characters, including my modded Sheik, under the Project M engine and everything seems to work fine. Also, the only major difference in my files is that I added a texture for Zelda's face, in addition to the already-existing textures that Sheik has. This could very well be the problem.

Overall, the model I made has fewer polygons than Sheik's original model, even with the new ponytail and body (I'm the master of low polys, :P). Thus the model's size should be smaller. I'll do a direct MDL0 comparison (Old ➙ New) soon to verify this.

Edit: The original mdl0 is 264 KB (271,244 B). The modified mdl0 is 409 KB (419,352 B). Difference of 145 KB (148,108 KB), or a 54.6% increase in file size.

Are you saving her as both a pcs and a pac? Sheik needs both, since she's a transformer. Though usually that doesn't freeze until you're in-game and try to switch.

Every time I've had a hack that crashes at the stage select screen, it's always been a file size issue. Dropping the texture res a notch usually drops the file size enough to work. It does seem odd that your file would be over-limit considering you only have one other texture. But I see you have edited the model. It's possible when you exported it to a .dae it didn't compress as much as it should have, and you might have gotten an unsually large file. Did you triangulate her before export?

Indeed I didn't. /facepalm *smacks head

Lol. I noticed my exported mdl0 model is about 50% bigger than the original game mdl0. Might have lots to do with untriangulated polys. If you want, here are the files I've worked on thus far. I only have the PACs saved, as I can easily convert them to PCS in BrawlBox.


Edit: No... no, I did check Triangulate in the dialog. My mistake. The model is in fact triangulated.

if it's the model that is heigher poly, try using prooptimizer on the fae object, since sheik has a pretty low-poly face, also, since u added boobs, im guessing u also added more vertices to the body itself...
you can also just lower the size of one of the textures, that should probably do the trick, as well as having ALL the textures set as CMPR, since they literally take down the filesize of a texture to 1/3 of it's original

Thanks JK. I was uncertain of which texture type I should use, but if CMPR works the best then I'll go with that.

Also, I'm counting 6,113 polys (tri's) with a total of 3401 vertices on the original Sheik model. Now, after the tweaks and modifications I made to the model (breasts, face, and hair models).... I managed to actually reduce the poly count... to about 5756 triangles and 3046 vertices. So I know the geometry is much smaller now, though I think that the original MDL0 was compressed differently than how 3ds Max tends to handle DAE files.

Nonetheless I'll try CMPR for the textures I've got. Thanks for that tip!

I'll try to get her working tonight when I get off school

Please, if you do fix anything let me know what you did. I'm mainly trying to learn how to make models and port them successfully. Also, if you know how eyes work, I can't seem to get them working at all. Just a bunch of texture glitches or this mysterious 'Brawl' texture that shows up in the MDL0. (In the Textures folder under MDL0)

The help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Mack Attack!

Took me about two months from initial design concepts to finishing it. I think the hardest part was figuring out what he'd actually look like.

Badass, dude.

Verrrry nice! Love it!

Peardian, I love your stuff, and this is amazing. I would seriously do something with this model if I could recall what Mack was like, because it's been way too long since I've played that game and barely remember him.

Thanks! And you know, there are plenty of gameplay videos of SMRPG on YouTube if you want to refresh your memory.

I think he would look pretty cool on ROB.

I can't really see him fitting on anyone else due to his model.

I could see him on Meta Knight, though the sword would have to be a lot smaller.

will start on my paint roller project once again!
(http://i49.tinypic.com/2142mat.png)

does anyone have a tip of how to do better textures and UVs? I suck at that :c

My only suggestions are:
-Look at how other Brawl models have their UVs laid out, particularly characters. This should give you an idea of how you can divvy up and group UVs.
-Look for your modeling program's UV optimization tool. Obviously, you can't just rely on it 100%, but it should be able to at least figure out the best way to "unwrap" the UVs to minimize pixel distortion and maximize texture resolution.

Wait. I recognize that preview. I forgot you already had this in the works when I visited your thread.

Adding onto what Peardian said, take particular note of Kirby and Metaknight's UVs, since those characters are fairly similar. You'll also note that kiby's body is not just a single sphere, but broken up at the eyes so that the eyes can not only have different materials than the body (and, hence, expressions), but can be planar mapped more easily, since spheres don't UV very easily without deforming textures. I would use that technique for the eyes and cheek blushes.

Looking at the UVs for Mario/Luigi's shoes would be a good reference as well when you get to the feet.

For texturing, you can probably cheat on the body and arms/legs by using 4x4 pixel single-color textures and let the shaders do the rest.

thank you for the advice x3 yet, I am bad on texturing D:


i know about the eyes, I did the same thing!

and I am actually planing to do the shoes by myself.

EDIT: I just made the base of the shoes from scratch!
(http://i48.tinypic.com/30dgvvq.png)
only thing left is the wheels!

Now here's a question: are you planning on making him close to Brawl's art style, or are you trying to make it as close to the original Kirby art style? Because if you're going for Brawl's style, I recommend looking up photos of roller skates to give you an idea of some of the details you can model out for the wheel portion. Actually, I recommend doing this either way, as it will give you a better understanding for what you're modeling, even if it's really stylized.

Edit: The same goes for caps like the one he wears.

I do believe I haven't posted this here yet o-o

thank you for the advice x3 I want it to be kirby style with cartoon and cartoon shading.
I will add some extra details for the wheels however.

I only using this pic for a reference
(http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090823002806/kirby/en/images/a/a6/Paintroller2.png)

That pic is pretty heavily stylized and most certainly not made with the third dimension in mind. Note that the skates are even the exact same shape, duplicated, flipped, then rotated 45°.

Not a bad ref in general though, and for color, go for it, but might I suggest this ref in addition?
It's up to you in the end. Just throwing this one out there, since it has a bit more detail and is drawn with 3D shapes in mind. Although personally, I like the proportions of the ref you showed (with the large hands and feet).

I did actually use that ref you gave me to the cap cause it were difficult to the cap I used.

Geeh sorry for the late reply but it appears that Luigi himself is cause most problems to do with the Roull, I just tried another import on him and the textures came out completely destroyed... So am I going to have to make him over another character for the textures to work?

ur probably just doing something wrong

So, if I posted what I had of a custom Majora model, would someone be able to finish it? I tried to piece her together from Brawl characters, but...well yeah it didn't work so well.

the paint roller model is done! the thing left is UV and texture but SonicBrawler wanted to do that so he will fix that

(http://i38.tinypic.com/egcpx.png)

so cute ^__^

(http://i.imgur.com/Mtv3zBm.png)
texture is 100% mine, model is made of pieces from other models

So, I realized that some people here might want this thing I made a while ago, unrelated to Brawl. I figured it could be used as a backdrop of some kind or something, I dunno.

Should I post it? Y/N

what is it supposed to be?
im totally lost xD

A Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica stage ? Hell yes.  :srs:
All we need now is someone to do the witch in the background  :af:

Well, it's just a background/sky. It would need considerable tweaks/optimization before it's ready for a stage. After all, there are nearly 32,000 triangles in the chairs alone, including both hemispheres.

I would like to request Hasegawa Kobato from Haganai(Boku wa tomodachi ga sukunai)! over Peach!

I am not sure if this would be of help, but this is a model for her, and this is what she looks like.
It would be wonderful if this would be possible, because I love using peach and I love kobato! thank you for your time!

Nope. Not the thread. This isn't a request thread.

you know there is a place for requesting stuff...

generic subsribe post

Fun fact: I drew a Sonic fancharacter once.

I pretty much wanted to see if
1. I could make one that wasn't an animal that was already 'canon'
2. Which used an uncommon color scheme (Which didn't blow my eyes out due to RAINBOW NEON LISA FRANK)
3. And that I could call "Original the Fanchar"

I ended up liking the design enough to make it not a "full" parody though.

I think it came out pretty well:

In any case, I'm practicing my custom modeling, and this is my guinea pig:

(http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab8/Spex130/WelfPreviews/WelfPrev1_zps3df58296.png)

There are still things missing, but it's 100% custom.

I'm also testing out how far I can push bone-mods without breaking the original moveset. Despite how it Sonic-ish it looks, it's actually going to be rigged over Pit. (because why not, lol?). Without changing any of the IDs that are important, I've managed to change Pit's overall height to that of Sonic's, along with making both hands and feet 1.5 times bigger than Pit's original. Lastly, I managed to move around some stuff to give Pit's boneset a working, moveable tail (that works with the original animations, more or less).

So yeah. Havin' a blast here, haha!

EDIT:

Updated hair antenna

now if only all sonic fanchars were thought through as much as that one...

Spex, you've gotten much better for sure sir!

Keep up the good work my dude.

Why thank you! Means much to me, y'know?

Anyways, got the textures more or less done. Real proud of those shoes.


I'm not sure about the gloves. Orange seems a bit 'loud'? What do you guys think?

Orange is fine. I think the soles of the shoes could use some more defined depth though.

Okay, how do I do that? More importantly, what does that mean?

Well. If I had the texture it would be easier to explain, but since I don't want to impose or intrude on your work. I'll use something from scratch instead.

BRB, Gotta make the thing.

The holes on the shoes' soles could be darker, adding more depth.

Hey, thanks man. (Forgot to say Velen helped settle my questions via PM).

Anyways, I kind of made this for my own amusement, but since it's done I'll show it.

(http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab8/Spex130/expressions_zps1ed869fc.gif)

Expressions! This isn't all of them (Pit has an AngerFace and a NormalFace too) but the ones that are there make a nice expression. Like an RPG talking box or something, lol.

ALSO, QUESTION. Since it's on pit, what do you guys think his weapons should be?

Give him hook blades. He looks like he would use hook blades. If you want to be funnier, give him cheese weapons and rat trap shield. He is a mouse or rat, isn't he?

I like hook blades. Hook blades sound cool. Between funny and cool, I think cool would be pretty cool.

Alrighty then, I found a 3D model that shouldn't be super complex to work on :D

(http://imageshack.us/a/img46/3456/kjtk.jpg)

I figured this would be a good model for me to start learning 3D modelling with; his shapes are more or less pretty basic, leaving only his tail and head to be the trickier part.  

I'm pretty green to modeling. I'm making this right now. It has no textures at the moment. The model itself isn't finished yet either. All tips or suggestions are welcome.

*I do plan to lower the polycount on the "tie" part of the cape, as well as add a crease or two in it to make it look more realistic. Currently, I'm at approximately 4800 polygons.

original character?

Mine? No. Its a WIP model of Jinx from Mario RPG, based on the render Nintendo put in the strategy guide.
http://www.mariowiki.com/images/thumb/c/c9/Jinx_SMRPG.png/150px-Jinx_SMRPG.png (http://www.mariowiki.com/images/thumb/c/c9/Jinx_SMRPG.png/150px-Jinx_SMRPG.png)

Like I said, any suggestions are welcomed.

EDIT: I noticed the flat spot on the head, and have fixed it now.

Cape seems incredibly high poly, not just the tie part.

Haha, it is. Kinda funny, as I've actually already cut the poly count on it once XD. Here, I've cut it down to about half of what it had. Here are some pics of how it looks now. I have only put the links up to them because I wanted to make sure I didn't lose any quality in the pics this time (I noticed it was kinda hard to see things on my other pics because of that)

http://imageshack.us/a/img208/7200/1ok.png (http://imageshack.us/a/img208/7200/1ok.png)

http://imageshack.us/a/img822/8091/e11u.png (http://imageshack.us/a/img822/8091/e11u.png)

If its still too much, I can try to cut it down further, but I know that when I cut it down a certain way the first time, it ruined the curves in the cape.

Is it 4800 polys total? If it is, you should be ok, I'm pretty sure Mario is around 6000, so there shouldn't be any lag problems.

Yes, that was a total. The last cape optimization cut out over 500 polygons as well.

**On a side note, does anyone know what character has the lowest amount of polygons, and approximately how many they have? I figure if I follow that guideline, I'll never have issues.**

Don't worry about ProOptimizing the cape as much, focus on ProOptimizing the rest of his body, for example, his head and his hands are only spheres, which means the can be ProOptimized to about 20% and still look the exact same, and same goes for his arms and legs, since they're cylinders. You can still go up to at most about 15000 polys on all the characters though, whether they're low poly or not. Kirby is probably the lowest poly though.

Ok, then I'm just fine right now. Thanks.

no problem ;D

I've made a monster.

(http://imageshack.us/a/img703/2051/ub5.png)

Yes, I did use Pit and Meta Knight's wings, but this is a special case.

i have no idea who those are, but they're epic, and seeing the usual quality only helps this statement.

(http://i.imgur.com/hY0MljN.png)
This is my first model I've ever made if a copyrighted character.
what do you think?

It looks good for a first time. It is kinda square on the head though (Try spherify modifier). I also think that if you aim for a classic megaman look, his leg armor should be bigger. Try also attaching his neck to the rest of his body, it sticks out atm.
It is looking good so far. You should be less afraid of using more polys, I used tons of them on my first model and still got it into brawl. I think you are doing good so far, better than some people I know. :P

(http://i.imgur.com/7JjmwN4.png)
Dunno if anyone knows who this is but I'll be rigging it to Wario pretty soon.

I can use some help making custom made models. I want to make custom made models of some characters from Total Drama World Tour like Cody, Duncan, Gwen, Heather, Owen, Courtney, Lindsay, Beth, Geoff, Bridgette, Leshawna, Harold, Trent, Justin, Sierra, & Alejandro so that I can rig them for Brawl but I don't know how to do that.

Decided to make this for a request, also my first custom model


crappy hands...

looks a lot beter than mine xD

You did one too ?  Want to see that  :o

That's actually really good IMO

anyone wanna try and guess who it is?

hint: has a [censored] ton of alt costumes.

Barbara from Rayman Legends?
I want to play Rayman Legends...

yup, barbara it is, i wanna make at least the olympia alt, since it's my main costume in legends, and i recommend the game to everyone; it's a frigging piece of art with a epic and envolving gameplay experience!

I've played the Wii U kiosk demo. It's so pretty :srs:

I made this model last weekend, he's 100% custom (http://i1069.photobucket.com/albums/u479/Russmarrs2/Preview-2_zpse5200ee3.png)
I made this Xerneas mostly just to go with the Yveltal I made. I had to put Xerneas over Ivysaur unfortunately though. I tried to keep him a little bigger than Ivysaur, so the rig isn't that great, but I might make some updates to the rig sometime. lol. ;D

idk what it is, but it's epic

Go play Donkey Kong Country 2. :P

K. Rool's ship, The Flying Krock, from DKC2.

Looks really epic, man.

looks pretty cool, although i dont know who it is

He's the big red guy from Sonic Lost World.

That looks great, I think it would be a good idea to use "mesh smooth" on some parts around the face to give it a softer/smoother look ;D

A good spec might oughta make him look better.

I would stay away from mesh smooth. If you are trying to add more polys to make it smooth, then use the HSDS modifier.


EDIT:

Anyway, made this. Not really planning on doing anything with him though.
He is mostly done. I just ave to tweak a few parts.
(http://i607.photobucket.com/albums/tt157/cottenballs/TOMmodel_zps46530a23.png)
I used the lowpoly model as a base.

Tom!

Nice.

What? NOTHING!?

....Need a rigger?

As much as I want to do it myself, i'm pretty sure I would never finish it.

If you want to rig him and what not then sure. I just want to fix up a few rough edges and whatnot.

Holy mama that's hot. Nice.

Alright I think T.O.M. ready now.
(http://i.imgur.com/M0ymivp.png)

He looks much better than the lowpoly model before.
His hands might need a little more work, but that was the best I could do.

Not done yet, but I think it's alright. Proud of that hair texture, and the mouth is built with mouth geometry behind a transparent texture.

what about his face?
will you make a different model for that too?

I'm pretty sure Mario's skull includes his huge nose. there's gotta be something supporting that thing. Also looking forward to dry kirby :P That's one great idea for a project.

Have we got no more new custom models lately?

(http://i.imgur.com/cTOdf35.png)
a model me&LJstar made
LJstar made the blue&Red&silver parts between the lower pipe part,the koopa shell
i made the rest (or more vertexed&merged models from other stuff to make this)

this is one of the alts. for the Dalek(doctor who) moveset

Well I promised myself I wouldn't show this until it was done but

So I decided to check this site after god knows how long and I noticed that a lot of stuff changed. one being the model import being done. I had a fangasm of sorts and had to start a new project! So I started on this guy.

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38206781/chromwip.png)

I put a ridiculous amount of time in awakening and really enjoyed the character. I jumped around with modeling and texturing because i have some areas with separate maps done. I have to figure out how to make a good arm cape without using A-pose(unless i can use a-pose in brawl, can someone confirm this for me haha) Because with T-pose it'll rest on his arm all weird. I may have to add/move bones. I would like to make a PSA for him, though.

1) Props to your endeavor to model him entirely from scratch—I salute you for it.

2) Theoretically you can use an A pose if you want, even with the original skeleton. You can rotate the arm joints, rig the mesh to the joints, and when everything is all rigged, reset the joints' rotations back to their original positions. Actually, as long as you don't change the default orientation of the joints, you can probably import in whatever pose you like, since the animations will always rotate the joints relative to their default orientation anyway.
I've never tried it myself, but it sounds like it would work fine in theory.

If I only knew how to make them, I've tons of ideas, just lack the skills :P

all you need is interest.
just start with some simple stuff, dont start on your favourite character, because that will only discourage you if you dont match your own expectations, it's normal to not make a perfect model as a first attempt, but eventually you'll get there. :)

Excelent job on the custom model, Kaze. I'm really impressed.

I tried before and yeah...didn't end well. I just don't know WHERE to begin. Hmm...I'll make a thread instead ;)

So I made this

(http://i.imgur.com/NHW3yRB.png)

I hope you plan on making that driving rod animate. :srs:

Do I smell a Spirit Tracks stage?

should be simple enough.


Only if someone imports it for me. I'm suckish at importing stages.

I can help you for making a boneset for animate the wheel and make a animation.

Nah, it's fine. mechanical things I can do.


Model just needs some touch ups to make it animate better

Perhaps it could be created similar to Phantom Train from DSX8.

<3 Thanks man.

Stopped working on the train to make the map. I haven't played Spirit tracks so i'm not sure if i should try adding anything else to the background or not.


(http://i.imgur.com/eFpNV6f.jpg)

will the track just be circular for the sake of simplicity?

Hmm...A Low Poly Hyrule Castle in the background maybe? Death Mountain?

Nice so far! You definitely need to put in the Tower of Spirits (http://zeldawiki.org/Tower_of_Spirits), if you haven't already. It's located in the center of Spirit Tracks's Hyrule and is the most significant location in the game.

That's not a bad idea, though I was thinking of having it as a scrolling level like the pirate ship if possible.

Since everything is lowpoly I can have the level decently sized.


Sounds good. I could probably also add some cows, (i think that's what they are?) grazing everywhere like the game.




Neat, won't forget to add that then.


Edit:

I think i'm happy with this map. I was thinking it would loop in the middle of the forest, maybe passing the forest temple(if that's what it is).

*Stare.* How the **** did you do that so fast?!

oh, neat, will the floor work like the F-Zero stage? (big blue was the name?)

I can get a few models directly from the game. It saved me some time making the map

That's what I think would work best. I would need someone to import it since i have no idea how to work with stages.

yeah thats what I did too bad Rigging it is so hard

Now I remember why I don't like modeling

That reminds me that I started a sculpt of him a while back and never finished it.

Modeling is mostly friggin easy I find. It's the UV mapping that's a [censored]...

._.  i like wat i see... demon if u want, i can import the whole stage for u :v

Neat, That sounds cool.
What exactly do you need to get started? The max file?

pretty much everything

Man, I've been wanting to do this for years.

Back when the cutting edge of custom stage making was retexturing stage builder blocks I made this:

Nothing impressive, I know, but that's why I chose it as a starting place for me.  Before this I'd never worked with a 3D modeling program or imported any model into Brawl.

Ooh yea. Weren't you the guy that modeled "Mushroom Mix"?

Whoa, hold on to your seats, I think I might be finishing something for once.

Since Skull Kid is an assist trophy in the new smash bros., and his 3d model looks awesome, I decided to model my own ssb4 style Skull Kid.(http://i.imgur.com/qYT6N7s.png)
Thank God, it looks great.

There is always room for more Sonic characters.

Nice work, Elru.

all these models look great!

My SSB4 Pac-Man model
(http://i.imgur.com/CP57E1e.png)
Thank God, he would go great over Mario or Sonic. He would go great over Mario due to his jump and Mario's F.L.U.D.D. could be replaced by Pac-Man's fire hydrant. He would also go great over Sonic due to Sonic Ball, could be turned into that arcade styled Pac-Man, and his spring could also be replaced by Pac-Man's fire hydrant.

Lookin pretty good! :D

Hello everyone!

I'm relatively new to model editing and to posting to this forum (so if I'm doing something wrong, by all means, tell me).

So my malady and challenge for myself is to combine a model of a head (which i don't even know where to start to make) and replace it with Dedede's model.

Is this idea feasible?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Any idea you can think of is most likely possible. If you manage to make the model, you should be able to get it in the game. However, this thread is to show custom made models. To request advice or help, you should go to the help section, or the model help.

Alright,  I'll move this post there then.

Thank you!

So I made a thing tonight. Thought I'd share it.

(http://i.imgur.com/M8hXJpu.png)

Well, the smaller, simpler one was made a while ago on another night, purely out of a single, six-sided cylinder. This time I spent a couple hours making one with a bit more detail, where the grip/pommel, guard, and blade are separate objects.
It seems I have thing for swords.

they both looks great, the small one reminds me of kokiri's sword. xD

making darunia... his hair is weird...

(http://i.imgur.com/siLcOBH.png)

He's a lion.

custom Darunia progress, used LoZ TP's goron model for the body and head, and DK for arms and legs, all untextured stuff is fully custom.

(http://i.imgur.com/RoAw6p4.png)

i'm pretty confident the hammer will look tons better once textured, and if it's still missing detail i guess i can always add more to it :P

I made a jet...

(http://imageshack.com/a/img906/8030/nxQo2V.png)

Believe it or not, this is from Pokémon.

*feels dwarfed by Peardian*

I, uh...I made another sword.
It's, uh...not nearly as impressive as a jet.
I mean, seriously. It's an E-rank weapon with a Mt of 3.

(http://i.imgur.com/J9c3rb3.png)

Never seen that jet before, looks awesome though.

Is that a bronze sword?

That it is, good sir. (:
Based more on the Awakening look rather than the SSB4 look (though there isn't much difference aside from the pommel).
Might texture it, or I might just leave that to someone else who wants to, after I finish the UVs.

That jet looks amazing, really want it as a stage flying around various parts of Unova, swords look awesome to. I finally got around to finishing the textures on Carol.

...
I need to get that game. AND Shovel Knight x-x

Kinda old, but it's whatevs.

Would be neat if they were on Ice Climbers.
However, Bomb is so tiny...

Who is that?

She's from a game called Freedom Planet.

These are really nice. Good job, Ocelot.

Ooh! Very cool! <3

Don't worry too much about making your rigging Brawl-ready. From what I understand, people who import models pretty much have to redo the rigging anyway if the character doesn't already match up perfectly with one of Brawl's existing models. (I'm another person who only makes the model and doesn't handle the Brawl side of things.)

I'll just leave this here:
(http://oi61.tinypic.com/6t1esp.jpg)
Obviously far from done.

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough, I posted here because I'd like to see them into Brawl, but before I do it would be necesary to speak with the person who's going to work on the model so I can simplify the shapes and make it easier to work on.

Nankai yattemo nankai yattemo....

I made not one, but three models for the SMRPG enemy Orb User! The leftmost design is based on the style of Super Mario Galaxy, and the rightmost design is based on the enemies in Subspace Emissary.

Making Lord Fredrik from Tropical Freeze. I'm leaving this WIP here.

So, I've decided to try my hand at making a model that will hopefully A) fit Brawl's style, and B) get hacked into the game.

I've even gone so far as to make a shadow model, just so he fits in better.

He's Black Alloy, intended to use DK's animations and basic moves, with the 'internal name' zakobeast. He's obviously supposed to fill the "big guy" spot, heh.

(Note: Blender images at the moment, but I can send them to someone who has the tools necessary to import him into Brawl format)

My only hope is that we've advanced far enough with imports that we can actually handle linestrips and mirror modes with UV data.

(http://i815.photobucket.com/albums/zz71/turbochaos47/marx2_zpscf1d0938.png)

Neat Marx! Aren't his shoes supposed to be brown, though?


I made some models in the style of modern Mario games:

Doshin the Giant next to Dorf and Giga
(http://puu.sh/d6FAL/156fc4589a.png)

As you can see, he's not exactly 'giant'. That's because I intend on making him a playable character and didn't want him to take up the whole stage as Giga Bowser tends to do.

So I finished him. Taught myself how to make basic textures while I was at it.

Awesome! ;D that looks really good.



Epic :srs:

Also incredible stuff you got there Peardian :D

Btw i also tried making my own models. so here are some of them

Sorry if this isn't the right thread for this.

I've gotten a lot better at 3D modeling since the last time I was active here (though I also haven't really done much in the past 7 months or so). None of these are specifically for Brawl, but here's some examples of my work.

These are some My Little Pony models I made ages ago when everyone (myself included) thought it was hip and cool to watch a show about cartoon horses.
I emulated another artist's style with these models so they'd go with his pony ones, but aside from the eyes it's all completely original geometry. You might recognise one or both of these models, but since their Smash Bros and Gmod debuts respectively I had started updating them and adding more detail. They're not quite where I want them to be yet, but I'll probably never come back to them since I'm not really interested anymore. The Spike v2 source files used to be available on my deviantART but I've since hidden it.

Since then, I kinda developed a thing for low-poly models. These probably aren't really "low-poly", but I still like how they came out. These are all of original characters, first picture being of my own. I even tried doing these as commissions but it didn't really pan out. Some of these I'm thinking of revamping too, but I'd also like to branch out a bit and try other things.

I'm thinking of getting back into Brawl modding, but we'll see if I can actually be motivated to do that, especially when the bar has been raised so significantly in the last 3 years. :P

It's upsetting that no one has attempted to rig these wonderful models.

While not an MLP person, Tommo, the anime outlines look really cool with your models.

Alright. I've uploaded my Black Alloy (http://www.mediafire.com/download/thmlx2qk5d57qrq/zakobeast.zip). If anyone wants to go for it, I'd love to see him actually added in as a new Alloy character, but that would probably require a full PSA and editing of animations, so... yeah.

Also keep in mind that while I've made the stomach section solid, it's supposed to be lines like the others (I couldn't keep the UV mapping while making them just lines in Blender), so you'll either need to find a way to reduce it to lines, or hack a copy of Yellow's polygon5 to move them to the vertex positions.

I understand that Alloys aren't popular, but thought this would be a unique hack anyway.

I already posted these in the WIP thread but... seeing as I just noticed this thread, why not pot em here as well lol

Custom Wolf (an actual wolf) I made for fun, turbo smoothed for sharing purposes


Sash Lilac (Because I freakin love freedom planet, also turbo smoothed for sharing purposes) - Character: :sonic: / :fox:

Is anyone working on a Captain Toad because that is my dream hack!

Just having trouble making the body. It's proving very difficult, and that's why I haven't touched him in a while. I also plan to make these recolors.

What modeling program do you use cause if it's Maya I think I can help. Also the stuff I'm currently working on :

Bayonetta over  :zsuit:

Sash Lilac over :sonic:

Carol Tea over :wolf:

Still need to do lots of work on all of them.

idk who carol tea is, but the model already looks great, just needs texture work IMO (unless it isn't accurate enough to source yet, which i wouldnt know)

It's from a game called Freedom Planet. The game is inspired by Sonic platformers.

 Oh right, I can finally post something here.

Heavy Mole from scratch (except for the reflections)

I am gonna need a bigger wallet.

And then I gave Heavy Mole an upgrade.

(http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img909/3940/iZUKez.png)

This is an original redesign based on the DX bosses of Kirby Triple Deluxe. Some of its features are inspired by hot rod cars.

very neat "upgrade" hard to spot without looking at both, but easilly noticeable it's different, just awesome.

I made a floppy disk. It's from Mighty Switch Force!

(http://imageshack.com/a/img540/2574/25udxF.png) (http://imageshack.com/a/img537/2595/RKDTjr.png)

Some of the details are based on real floppy disks, such as the groove in the back for the metal cover to slide on.

Surely I can't be the only person who has made a custom model in over two months...



:diddy: "DK? Is that really you?"
:dk: "Who else would it be?"

I've worked on a semi-custom model (aka made a bunch of parts myself while using a brawl model as a base), but it's nowhere near done yet. I'm trying to learn how to texture so it doesn't look so bad.

Nice work btw. Although the reflection on the rounded corner thingy on the head toaster looks odd.

Just realized how odd that sounded. My b

(http://i.imgur.com/SX4cs3f.gif)

I'm working on a couple of things. Something that I've been working on for a while on and off and something else that I just started today:

MGSV Sneaking Suit

Front:

Back:

Will be adding an edge loop on the bottom arm part along with making the padded armor more puffy. The dark grey material hasn't actually been touched at all, so that's next on the list after I'm done with all the straps and padding on the front. Will be using FFD box to make him less chubbier. I'll also be editing the neck so it isn't as square and is more natural/round.

Turbosmooth is just a test to see how it looks like. So is the Shell, although I'll be using the shell to help add depth before I make the armor puffy. After I'm done with most/all of the detail, I'll be importing it into ZBrush to add creases and stretching to the leather and cloth.

After that is Omen, a scrapped champion from LoL

Non-turbosmooth'd

Turbosmooth'd

Will be adding control loops near all the joints plus touching up his body pretty much everywhere. Will also be remaking his "hands"/"feet" as they came out terrible.

When I'm done with the main body, I'll be adding details such as spikes and an actual face in the future. Until then, I'm gonna be fixing his playdoh body lol.

Much more progress since my last post:


I think all I have left now is editing the collar, adding about four belts (symmetry cuts it to half), the right hand, his head, and two circle things on his legs (symmetry cuts it to half). The hand and head are probably going to be the most difficult to make out of the five objects I have left to make.

Here are a couple of things I made.

(http://i.imgur.com/4JBqWdD.png)
~2 years, ~11900 polygons
To scale with real mountains.

(http://i.imgur.com/anvAHwU.png)
1 week, ~1500 polygons

Hey, Peardian. Funny uou should make Crocodile Isle.

Woah, that looks amazing, Tabuu!

Updates to old models I've been working on.

Small update to MGSV Big Boss.


Next is Lyndis


MGS3 Big Boss is below


Gray Fox is next


Awakening Roy is right after


Next up is Isaac


Finally, is the head I made for MGSV Venom Snake and MGS3 Big Boss


I have too many things going on...

Those are some impressive human bodies!

(http://i.imgur.com/dUF8MOS.png)

I made another SMRPG enemy. It took a day to model, a day to UV, a day to rig, and a day to texture. I aimed for quality rather than realistic SSE enemy polygon counts, so I ended up at around 3400 polygons. I probably could cut down on the polygon size if I just do intersecting meshes rather than properly connecting them, but oh well.

(http://i.imgur.com/8bloNbb.png) (http://i.imgur.com/CAJfden.png)
Frog Switch from Wario Land 4
It took about a day to make, a day to UV, and a few days to texture it all.
1976 polygons + 352 for the bomb

(http://i.imgur.com/ARPlbGe.png)
Frog Blocks from Wario Land 4
Took only a few hours to model, UV, and texture it all.
692 polygons total

Nice job! I'd like to update with my custom models, but summer classes along with commitments I've made with Smash4 is getting in the way.
Nice job singlehandedly keeping this thread alive.

Thanks. Here comes another one!

(http://i.imgur.com/Tg9EOeY.png)
Made in a single weekend as a challenge to myself.

HB-002 from Kirby's Dream Land 3
Used corkboard for the surface.
440 polygons

(http://i.imgur.com/OdAVfPO.png)
HB-007 from Kirby's Dream Land 3
For fun, I gave his bones the same names as those used by characters.
436 polygons

Oh hey I made another obscure Kirby thing.

(http://i.imgur.com/5bb0nHm.png)
Transformer from Kirby's Dream Course
Despite the smoothness, it still doesn't have very many polygons.
1698 polygons

Pear. You're the only one keeping this thread alive haha.

Which is very unfortunate. Custom models are one of the most awesome thing that we can do with this game.

(http://i.imgur.com/vm81FVw.png)
Keyzer from Wario Land 4
1010 polygons (1370 if you include duplicate eye meshes)

This is my first model and it's Luna from Shrek SuperSlam.

(http://i.imgur.com/8Vr44Ai.png)

The textures are from the game though. As I was able to rip those.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit; Made huge progress on her head.

I didn't notice how wide her head was lol.

(http://i.imgur.com/unuRNxm.png)
Time Gear from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon
1656 polygons for gear, 72 polygons for markings
low poly version (not shown) is 168 polygons
Made in a full day

^ Really dig this piece. What did you change for the lowpoly version?

Glad you like it! The low-poly version is based on what the model looked like before I beveled all of the edges and added carved details. I also used a render of the high-poly version to create the low-poly version's texture.

(http://i.imgur.com/7rIuXng.png)
Barney Bubble from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
908 polygons (bubbles are separate effects)
Made in a full day

(http://i.imgur.com/AOMhBl3.png)

Flying Palace from Pokemon the Movie 2000: The Power of One
Body: 300104 polygons (Mid: 144328, Low: 49752)
Propeller 1: 904 polygons (Low: 246)
Propeller 2: 560 polygons (Low: 174)

Total: 356924 polygons (Min: 65736)

Made slowly over the course of seven months. Used official concept art to ensure the design was as accurate as possible.

(http://i.imgur.com/jF3uxG6.png)
Vibe Scepter from Super Princess Peach
1056 polygons (2208 including extra glass orb polygons)
The object is physically impossible, so I designed the model to use UV animation for swapping out the faces. I made extra polygons for the orb in case anyone wanted to try doing fancier renders with it.

(http://i.imgur.com/aNYfsSk.png)
Pinwheel from Super Mario RPG
3120 polygons (812 base + 1092 normal + 1216 angry)
Studied Thwomps and related enemies to get a feel for how to create the face.

(https://i.imgur.com/FheWMAx.png)
Big Shaker from Sonic the Hedgehog 3
7588 polygons
One of the main reasons it has so many polygons is because the crossing bands of gold had to match up, which required specific multiples of polygons. This in turn directed the level of detail for the rest of the model. The mesh is structured in such a way that it would be easy to carve out a [censored]pit and turn it into Sonic Mania's Laundro Mobile boss.

(https://i.imgur.com/HgQ29hO.pngp)
Chikako (Glitter) from Super Mario Land
714 polygons
I made variations for face designs that match modern Mario games, but the original face was the most appealing.

My version of Sally Acorn (based on Spaz and Jay Axer drawing):

(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/5de639c4-6058-49df-ae12-7ea6bca92bab/ddphppi-02b723d1-9adb-4bb5-8b2b-84e1f6263ace.png?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOiIsImlzcyI6InVybjphcHA6Iiwib2JqIjpbW3sicGF0aCI6IlwvZlwvNWRlNjM5YzQtNjA1OC00OWRmLWFlMTItN2VhNmJjYTkyYmFiXC9kZHBocHBpLTAyYjcyM2QxLTlhZGItNGJiNS04YjJiLTg0ZTFmNjI2M2FjZS5wbmcifV1dLCJhdWQiOlsidXJuOnNlcnZpY2U6ZmlsZS5kb3dubG9hZCJdfQ.dSNT_32usZz0SX8NJ_jjOp3PbrHYgZcCjealFTJZtPA)

Not expecting anyone to care but if by the off-chance someone is interested, feel free to PM me. I have worked on this model for a long time and I would love to see it in action even just as a test.
