I really hate to ask, but any progress on Vanguard and Hero Ike?

...Specifically, with making it P:M compatible?

i'll start back on hero ike very soon. was waiting to see if i could get him back from laptop, which is taking too long.

Made red "Babi Lighthouse", redid the side towers, recolored the floating circle platforms, Optimized everything, redid all of the mountains, Optimized everything some more.

I also added/moved some clouds.

I'm currently at 49,880 triangles.  Just for you Eternal Yoshi.

this looks amazing, can't wait til it's finished

Any updates on your laptop? Were you able to recover your data?

nope

EDIT: everything in poll will be done, release depends on the vote. will do a few with most votes, everything else will be re-polled. if i can think of any new projects they will be added in that poll. if not then you may have to choose what's up there

so based on poll after wii u samus:

young samus - have to restart, lost what was on laptop

other m samus model pack - will restart, everyone i said i will collab will be collab. i made the promise and i plan to keep it. as for the look, i might not mix them like i did before. if you guys do want the look mixed just let me know. other than that i may mix it later. there are three different models; powersuit, gravity, and varia. will utilize smash 4 model and just replace and properly weld those parts. here are the costumes again:

other m zss - forgot she is pretty much finished, may release before wii u samus. if she gets a smash wii u look you can expect that too.

i think i solved mines, i am an idiot.

been busy and still is. will fix rig on arms, used auto rig

here is skyloft link: http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=35927

EDIT: new poll to go by after i finish wii u samus

I FINALLY found out why the hips and legs were out of whack when rigged :

THE BUTT WAS TOO BIG! 

It has been fixed now, so I should have screencaps in an hour or so.

XD

Yeah, don't know anything about the tristripper as my understanding on the function is beyond my reach, I'll stick to 0.68 just to be safe until this can be resolved. (I have doubts since it's no longer being worked on, but the source is there for anyone).  I don't mess with shaders at all when porting a new model hack, never had to mess with them to be honest.  Would the tristripper prevent the issues on 0.71? I don't see what it would do.

tristripper is for less lag and optimizing

i been using .68b as my default. haven't had any issues.

also i believe you can still use .71 for tristripper still, but you should make sure the model's material and shaders are finished and just open the pac/pcs to tristripper it. haven't had an error doing this yet.

posting this because i am not sure if i posted this before and i need some help. will collab for the help. what i need help on is in the last spoiler.

the pics are old but the exact same thing i am doing now, lost the previous version. comes with wooden shield in all three looks from the game as well as the goddess sword and sheath. (other shield versions in spoiler)

would anyone like to help me by making and adding expressions to skyloft link. almost done with the rig. if anyone would like i can send my 2010 max file and you can make the expressions and send the max file back my way with an explanation on how to do the expressions so i can do it when i finish the rig.

i am collabing for the help

when i get that problem i just re-apply the new re-sized textures to the model in max. works for me everytime

yeah i saw, it's ok i editted.

EDIT: here are request rules from OP. still working on it.

(requesters are collabed)

If you are going to request something, please give a link to the model to make it easier, if you don't i wll ignore it. If your request fits any of the description below then i'll do them.

Character Requests - imports, recolors, textures edits, and vertexes

Stage Request - imports, recolors, textures edit, vertexes, collisions.
(i will not do all the extra stuff like water, clouds, and stuff until after i learn it. just give it to someone else.)

Custom Model Request - in the process of learning so hopefully i can do these soon
(can't do a full character i don't think, but will do accessory for characters)

Taking these requests for side projects so i don't get bored of working on one of my projects for too long. one at a time so i don't get off track and can continue my projects. if someone posts a request before you please wait until i finish that request and announce that i am taking more to post.

No high poly models will be done as a request. you can still post them but the only way they are getting done is if multiple people or myself likes it. requestor will still be collab since it was a request.

THAT BEING SAID:

no request right now, Akeno's request is being done.

no high poly requests because i have enough projects, will say when i am accepting them.

Do i have to have the model to make a request?

that would be nice instead of having me look for it and maybe not find it.

rules/guidelines for requesting are in junky OP at the bottom

k, will try lucario. if that doesn't go to well may have to place over falcon

also did you want her to have a fist at all times since i can't rig all fingers. probably the best since lucario don't have more bones for the fingers.

just waiting on your reply to continue, model is already fixed up and stuff just needs rig

are you sure you want her over lucario:

- lucario has three fingers so you will have stiff hands or a fist at all times.
- also might have a problem around the feet area because of how lucario's leg bones are.
- legs will look funny in animations and will require new animations or touch ups becaue is legs are spreaded out

also did an update on request section in the OP for future requests

[All I have to say.]

All I have to say.

Looks fantastic, think this is the first time I've seen an import of one of Samus's suits that are of high quality. How are the animations coming along? And by that I mean both arm cannon and external animations. Will they be Brawl only or also optimized for PM? Just curious about all that.

thanks, as for animation they will for be for both, p:m and vbrawl.

haven't started on the animations yet. they will be done quickly though because i can and will us my older animation as a base.

Awesome! Wii U Samus looks epic! Definitely going to download it!

Ok... So female request only, huh? I would ask you to rig Bazett Fraga Mc Remitz over Lucario (it's a folder with 4 models, the one I'm talking about is in the Bazett folder)

sorry for confusion. i was saying that i won't work on female models until i get my laptop back up. working on them on the desktop people question what i am doing with the models, thinking i am going to enchance body parts.

so no female request. yours may be an exception because after a google search of the character she looks like she would be fully clothed. haven't downloaded the model yet to check so idk.

if you have a pic of what the model looks like, post that in a spoiler and i'll decide then. need front and side view, if breast or butt is huge then it will have to wait. someone may think i enhanced it, not gonna argue or debate with anyone.

if i can't work on it now because of how it looks feel free to request any male models, or a female model that is fully clothed who breast and butt isn't huge. will and can work on those when i get my laptop up and running.

request thing goes for anyone.
