Good. I made his shoulder pads, hair, and those kind of cape like things all into seperate objects just to make rigging eaiser. The sword and shield would always detach themselves from kratos in brawl box even if they were placed correctly.
@Ramon: Tormod was able to flip the Sephiroth vertex to make him Left handed, unlike Marth who is right handed. So I plan on using that method. It's proven to work. That's why I'm suggesting that you put the sheath on his other side. So when it's flipped, it'd look proper.
And for the shoulder pads, I was going to suggest to use link's sleeves.
And what is the sheath attached to? Why didn't you attach it to Link's sheath? (Because In my animations so far, I've moved the sheath to be at his side.)
The healing spell is easy. But the fact was that he can only use it on himself not others.
And I thought of healing stream. I put a topic in the help section wondering if something like it would work. I was planning on it functioning that it'd heal everyone within range, and deal damage at the same time. (So on team battles, if team attack is off) It'd count as a team healing move. If team attack is on, then I have no idea.
Cancelling it and reusing it isn't hard. Just set a variable if you spell cancel and have it activate later if the variable is set.
Anyways, I've said too much about it...
i want him to look the most proper he can with link's animation and stuff. thats why i think its best to make a PSA version cuz if i weighted the sheath to link's sheath, it would float in the air at times. it wont take much, since its mirrors it, ill move the sheath and exphere and weight some areas differently
oh that'd be kool, i havent played with a PSA with spells like that. first aid would be good enough. if you did figure out how to get Healing Stream to work, that would give him a pretty unique moveset. he would be fun to use in team matches
Kratos over Link is looking pretty good so far. Would you mind if whenever you are done with your Kratos import I use the Flamberge and the shield for my import of Kratos over Marth? (I'm currently rigging it, but the sword and shield he came with were glitchy so I had to get rid of them :/)
what happened to the sword and shield? did everything on the model itself work? it should, its the same one im using now (it might be because of the textures, Yamashii was gonna upload em soon). yea you can go ahead and use em when its in the vault. how is yer import over marth going?
Thanks for the welcome ramon and...he's almost done?!You're awesome , and for what it seens you're going to make a PSA for him...cool !I wanted to help with the thing of switching the sword and shield but i don't know how to do it...
Royal_Blade is the one doing all the work for the PSA. i would help if i knew. the only thing i might be able to help with is animation. and as long as i dont get too distracted and i get the textures for the default sword and shield.. it could be out tomorrow
Wow, that does look good! Question, what are the shoulder cape things attached to? Because they seem to be higher up than they should be. I'll fix that, and some other stuff, once your finished with him. Also, why is the sheath on his left side with his sword? Shouldn't the sheath be on the right side so it looks proper? I plan on inverting Kratos to make him right handed so the sheath should look natural too.
the shoulder cape's main influence is BustN and each side has slight influence from the ShoulderNs. i know what you mean.. right now it looks like sayain armor. ill make sure to fix that. i could make a PSA version that has the shoulder capes with their own bone, using Link's shirt sleeve bones.
i was wonderin about this.. how are we gonna go about makin him right handed for the PSA? the sword sheath is in the proper place, its the sword and shield that need to be switched.
Just out of curiosity, what sort of things did you not think were possible?
i didnt think casting a spell (healing spell) like that would be possible, that and canceling it (spell charge) to use later. is it possible to make a Healing Stream spell? where it creates a DMG healing area around him and instead of hitting nearby people, it will make a staggerless hit box that heals you and teammates.. or something like that.
heya Vitinho welcome back you dudes dont have to wait much longer, hes almost done
the mercenary suit is nearly done, it just needs the little things (like hair control)
Blade.. he looks pretty good with yer animation
it might need a few tweaks, like rotating the shield (ShieldM.. i think) facing up to his shoulder, but it looks good. also, if you wanted to make the wings appear at certain times, you can set the visibilty bone for the wings to TateMb or something (since im not using a "put away" shield). with this suit he will have the handles of the sword when sheathed, with the jugement suit he'll have the whole sword (since it has no sword sheath)
yea ill get a reference picture to get em more exact, these are colette's wings.
actualy i tryed yer texture on it but they arent for these wings.. and i noticed the texture's name. is it from link's boomerrang? i could try importing the 3D object of it and see how it looks if it is.
lol i guess he looks good even with major parts of it not done yet. like his knees and feet. thats not yer pose yet, its one of link's win wait animation frames. ill take a screen of yers once all important areas are weighted. after its somewhat done, ill go back to judgement kratos and do last rig finishes. then ill go back to mercenary kratos and do last fixes.
you know whats motivating me right now? after i get him done i can work on my own custom character.. Seg has seen him.
But enough about us. I hope you can keep these rigs up, just like you did with the Megaman X request. You put your blood, sweat, and tears into that sucker.
heh "sucker"
yuuup.. some of that blood stained some of my shirts but it was worth it.
thank you dudes.. this forum is crowded with very kind people.. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE
some progress, i started the mercenary costume and added in the optional wings..
(ignore the outlines for them, in brawlbox transparency looks weird.) i think they needa be a little bigger and less round.. i want to get the size perfect before copy and pasting it for judgement suit Kratos
true.. after a import is DONE, its good knowin its out there and one feels proud of it. except i dunno what it is.. i mean, even after readin Royal's interesting PSA planned for him, i still have 0 motivation. the burst of happy will come eventualy and then everythin should get back on track..
Seg.. keep me updated on that waluigi, i wanna be the first to download it. same with yer baby bros., Nano.
i see what you mean Blade. in-game though, his size looks fine.
tryin him out in-game.. im actualy surprised at how much vertices these models have (for a cel shaded gamecube game). he has alot of vertice rows in important bend areas, even more than a high-poly model like Cloud. cloud has alot of vertices on his face but everywhere else.. not that much. there is mainly one area that barely has any vertices for Kratos.. his hand. i can get his fingers to bend fine but his thumb area has almost none. ill make his thumb bend but the thumb's finger area.. ill probaly leave that alone, otherwise it warps bad
i dunno why but i have very little motivation to finish this, any hack in general. i should be happy to finaly be able to work on symphonia models but.. i dunno what it is
You have Yuan's model?! Waah, I didn't thought about it, but it's really good! Yuan is a character that I like a lot, but of course I won't ask you to rig him immediately, take your time.
Among the swords for Kratos, what sword do you have? Do you have his sword called flamberge? It's a orange sword, that is in fact a flame sword.
yea i got his default sword and flamberge. im gonna mess with the normals and make it always glow, even in dark stages (the seraphim wings too). i also got his cheap shield he starts with and the red and black one (Arredoval).
Yeah, I've replayed that game over 15 times (But none of my replays were following a past save, so it was a waste of time. -__-)
I think I'll got for my 16th now. XD
niice.. looks like you played it as much as i have. thats too bad you didnt start with the grade shop goods. i played with 1/2 EXP, min HP, and used everyone's concept art weapon.. thats when it gets challenging and fun.
i started rigging kratos and da model aligned almost perfectly without any stretching or anything needed. the thing that looks like it will need most work is the fingers, they are BIG compared to link's. im gonna see how it turns out, i might end up shrinkin them a lil
i was thinkin of torturing you guys by not showing ANY previews but.. that woulda been messed up.. heres a screen..
most of the main areas are done.. he looks very pixely in da new brawlbox
Nano could make a definite version with faces and improved rig and everything. i mean.. just cuz theres already one in the vault doesnt mean that should stop one from attempting their own.
my vote is for the baby bros.. you needa make the baby bros. over ice climbers with hammers and everything.. like if it was mario and luigi : partners in time.. that would be kool
