I decided to make my very first model texture: Hopper from "A Bug's Life". This was a project ORIGINALLY made for the long-done Disney Tourney, but I decided "Hey! Screw that, Let me dig up this project and start fresh!"

When done, Hopper will come with:

* The Models pcs and pac
* A "Bug's Life"-Related BRSTM
* THREE CPS and In-Game Battle Portraits (Two from the movie and One courtsey of Nanobuds)

The Textures are being worked on by Nanobuds (who I will credit as the Co-Creator), and a PSA will be done by Vamayro.

MOVESET:

(Due to the fact that Hopper is a Grasshopper, he has the ability to jump three times)

Wait1: Waits impatiently with both hands behind his back and foot tapping.
Wait2: Shakes Fist.
Wait 3: Looks around.

A: Punch
A + A: Uppercut
A Side: Shove
A Up: Headbutt
A Down: Trip Kick
Running A: Glide (Temporarily flies through the air)

SMASH ATTACKS:
A SMASH Side: Power Punch (A Rage-Filled Punch)
A SMASH Up: Double Fists (Thrusts both fists in the air)
A SMASH Down: Two-Way Punch (Punches both left and right)

AERIAL ATTACKS:
Forward A: Knee Thrust
Backward A: Elbow Ram
Up A: Aerial Headbutt
Down: Leg Stomp

SPECIAL MOVES:
B: Wind-Up Punch (Similar to the DK's Giant Punch. Tap B whist winding up to punch. If left alone while charging, the punch will automatically be unleashed)
B Side: Grain Toss (Based off the scene in the movie where Hopper throws grain at Axel and Loco, This move could be based of King DeDeDe's Waddle Dee Throw. There's also a 15% chance he'll throw a HUGE acorn, which will do more damage)
B Up: Let's Ride! (Hopper will squat down and fly upwards)
B Down: Kickin' Grass (Hopper will do a fireless Falcon Kick, which gets less distance and does less damage)

FINAL SMASH: Squish 'Em!
Hopper will shove the closest opponent to the ground, and then step them into the dirt. Then, to finish things off, he'll kick them off screen!

Grabs:
(NOTE: Hopper grabs his opponent by the neck)
A: Choke
Up: Toss (Throws them up in the air, similar to Ness)
Down: Slam (Violently throws his opponent to the ground)
Forward: Kick (Kicks his opponent's butt...Literally)
Backwards: Suplex (Similar to Kirby's Back Throw)

Taunts:
Up: Dusts off his knuckles.
Left and Right: Paces Back and Forth for a bit.
Down: Looks at the screen while nodding and moving his antenna.

Victory Poses:
Win1: Flies away. while giving a nasty look.
Win2: Walks on-screen, and looks at the camera, hands crossed and unimpressed.
Win3: The foot of a bird appears, causing Hopper to scream and run away.

Members of Project: Hopper:

Me (For starting th eidea and creating the original model)

xxmasal22xx (For helping me with the double-patching process while I wait for VVBox 2.0)

Nanobuds (For making the texture)

Vamayro (For helping with the PSA)

Depending on how well, this project comes out, I MAY also do Flik and/or Princess Atta...

ill make the texture when the model is done... itll be easier so ill kno where the textures lie on the model.

also whats with his tail? are you gonna disabke the bones in it and add it to the body?

1) Fair Enough.

2) The tail is supposed to resemble his Grasshopper-like Thorax. The tail is still going to be attached, however.

alright

Wow...I'm surprised...

1 person doesn't know Hopper...

Allow me to direct your attention here!

THIS is Hopper, a fierce leader of a grasshopper armada! He has a slew of ant slaves who harvest food for him and his cohorts season after season. Hopper is voiced by The Great Kevin Spacey, and is deathly afraid of birds (He is, after all, a bug!).

Sorry for telling you guys who are aware of this stuff you already know!

1 person didn't have a childhood

I was hoping to get the completed model with completed textures an make CSPs out of the actual hack when it's done(before release)

Well, alright!

I'll send you the model when I'm done Vertexing it, and when Nanobuds has made the textures.

Oh....
:(

ok then

Gentlemen, Gentlemen!

You BOTH can make them!

Nanobuds can make HIS for this project, and as you, xxmasel22xx...

Feel free to create your own as soon as we release the model! You have my permission!

Oh...ok lol.

y didn't i say something like that? lol

I deleted my last post for a bump and great news!

xxmasal22xx decided to help us even further! He'll be doing the double-patching!

Let's wish him the best of luck!

Lol, my pleasure. I'll be using MK64N's method to do it.

Idk why this project caught my attention. I really don't.
but I remember bugs life I saw it when I was 6 maybe?
anyway if you finish the model I could animate some of the attacks
and work on a psa so the hitbox's dont get all screwy.

why do I think it need's a psa?
because I just dont see a grass hopper not being able to fly and shooting aura balls out of his hands.

of course Im already working on flamedramon over lucario psa.
but if you finish the model give me the download and Ill mess around with it

Gee, thanks!

I actually had a few ideas for some moves. I'll post them on the Original Post in a bit.

whats the link for the original post?

You hit the "1" at the bottom of the page...

XD

oh duh I gotta get my brain straightend out, (was thinking thread)

Hey guys, i cannot insert into the .pac file....so for now a preview. BTW I edited it myself, off of what was already done for the antenna's:

Why cany you insert to the .pac?

Quote from: Vamayro on May 17, 2011, 09:41:08 PM

because i use a different method

OK, I thought up a moveset! It will be up in a bit on the OP!

EDIT: And It's Up!

if its needed, i could help with animations

Don't ask me, ask Vamayro. He's the one who insisted on making the PSA...

i posted in this thread so he will see it ;)

tuck n roll ftw!

If I did make them, I'd most likely make them over The Ice Climbers (Being they're the only Tag-Team Duo in the game to work with...)

lol :af:

honestly I would not like to see another bugs life project.

if I saw any more disney/pixar movies they would have to be like monsters inc or aladin or, you know now that I think of it randal from monsters in would make a nice project

if I did see another from bugs life it would have to be flik because hes the main character.

Heh, Funny thing was I actually once thought of making a Texture hack of Genie over Ganondorf...

I also had the thought that once I get better at Model Making, I'd make Aladdin out of Link or Ike.

ok, good luck man  :af2:

I never really attempted model editing. I stick to psa and animations. I might attempt model editing soon, so you should let me know when ever this vvbox thing is done (has no idea how to use it) tutorial time.

Sorry to bump from the dead...

But...

Has anyone vertexed the model yet?

I thought the project just died completely.

Im going to assume the model was never finished

Lol, well for a while i forgot about it.....lol.

GUESS WHO'S DONE!!!!! (sorta)

The antennas have been revamped by me, and the snout/nose has been made more accurate, although i dont think it will be possible to fully do the face the way it should be, thats the closest i was able to get without distorting other parts of the model. This view of the antennas doesn't do the closer one much good, but its deffinatley ALOT better.

@EarthwormJames: I need you to re-insert the edited model back into fitlucario00.pac when i send it to you. I will send you the link through a PM now.

And...How would I do that?

Sorry, but being vertexing is FAIRLY new to me, and this is my first one, please explain a little bit.

Just do what you normally do in order to replace the model.

As I've stated in a PM to xxmasal22xx, The model he gave me has 0 KB and as such, BrawlBox won't read it.

Neverthless, I know a way of how to make the antennas, so if a remake has to be made, all he has to do is reduce the size of Lucario's Nose much like in his picture...

The models turning out nicely
other then theres still alot to be done in general

I would port over king D.
theres a bunch of good hacks for lucario himself
and K.h. people are being made over pit, olimar just sucks
so people port him all the time anyway
Lucas Kolona, vivi and tons of good hacks already.
Vegeta is being released over wolf, falco has scyther and some other hacks
that are good but could use some movset revamping, fox.. you might be able to port over fox.

Ive been gone for a bit so im not quite sure, But I was pretty sure that only a few people could port because of there lack of articles or flowy garmants.

Sorry to bump from the dead...Again...But I Have GREAT news...

I FINALLY DID IT! I MADE THE NOSE SMALLER!!

(http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n515/EarthwormJames/GoodNewsForProjectHopper.png)

My only problem now? The Antenna! Whenever I try to fix them up in 3DS, the model goes haywire and the ears strech out to incredible length!

If anyone is interested, I kindly ask anyone to help me vertex the antenna out of Lucario's Ears.
