So yeah, change of plans. I lied, Paula is not getting released any time soon. With the importer out, expect a bunch of revamps.
A lot of them, actually. Tons. Most of them being "lost characters"
here's some hacks you can expect within the near future:
Young Link
Roy
NES Pit
Quote
Dr. Mario
Jeff (edited AT model, will have apposable fingers and such)
Paula
Poo
Pokey
Flint
Kumatora
Lightning (Dumbed-down PS3 model)
Vanille (Same deal as Light)
Possibly Spike Spiegel
Geno (probably still with BY)
Lighting and Vanille huh... FINALLY you'll get to perfectly make them. XD
I wonder... Would Nes Pit be able to be done on G&W now?
Can't wait for Poo
NES Pit.
Just like the one from your unreleased stuff :af:
Maybe you can use the Melee trophy and add bones?
Nothing on that list got me hyped at all until I read "Possibly Spike Spiegel".
You're doin' God's work, Pik.
hell yeah, cause Faye and Jet'll probably come afterwards.
As for Ed and ein, they could be assists.
Who will Flint go over? Also i am so excited to see Porkey, who will he go over?
I expect the highest quality textures on these imports pik!
Seriously though I'm really hyped. Can't wait to see if you do spike as well as he would be amazing.
Glad you're hyped, bro!
@dpg: I'm thinking Ike. The sword'll make a [censored]in 2x4, like in BP's vertex.
For Pokey, either Ness or Wario. In the games, Pokey used people to get to power, and didn't really fight. So that's a tough one.
For Flint, good call, can't wait to see how you execute that. As for Pokey, Ness and Wario seem odd. Wario since his moves seem way out of tact, and ness uses PSI. As you said, he wasn't all that helpful but maybe T.Link could work. The sword could be a plain stick or bat, and the bombs well, are bombs, heh.
Could you put quote over mario this time? Or Toon Link? Both of them are better for PSAs.
Geno over ToonLink? still
and like as you got for the vertex in yours action 19 in BV handgun over Sword? for a PSA i will make
I've been lurking like a mofo, waiting for someone to bring Mewtwo's name into all this. Come on guys! xD
I think a guy started on one. I don't remember who's thread, but there's definitely one in the works.
Pik! You know how much you [censored]ing win right now? I'll tell you.

Why do I have the feeling you not gonna release Paula now because of this? I truly [censored]ing hope I'm wrong..
Ay Pik, will the Y.L you make be over T.Link now? And will you make him in the style of your other Y.L or something new?
Geno? I had almost forgot about him: he was one of the reasons I got into Brawl hacking!
Very eager to see him. :3

Toon Link is the plan, yeah
And it'll probably just be a higher quality version of my newest one. Like, implementing things I couldn't in the vertex hack.
New boots, hair, arms, etc. Maybe a bunch of different weapons?
Sounds bad ass! Especially multiple weapons.
Offical TP young link concept released:
(http://i.imgur.com/6lvJ5.png)
Should I make this guy?
anyhow, I'll probably make Toon Zelda and Tetra sometime soon. (over zelda and sheik, of course!)
I'll just go out on a limb and suggest a hearty yes. I've had the Twilight Young Link vertex for quite a while, and seeing it done again (by Pik, no less) would be absolutely wonderful! :laugh:
In short, yesplz lol.
Another sexy Young Link model from Pik?
Yes please.

one of my first import attempts were your YL model on TL... but It didnt work out too well :P
Blah. What is this, Toon Link #4 from you? To be honest, it's whatever and I much rather see how many other people from your OP.
At the end, it's your call man. See ya in 8 months.

I don't know, Stallion has a point. should I make another Young Link, especially right after I finished the last one? I think I'll make him, but in a little while.

Bro. I just hooked up my Wii after it laying on my back, on the ground for weeks, just for Paula.
Jones, Paula Jones. Is that really her last name though? I don't think so. If it is, shame on me then.
Still can't believe this is a Vertex, rather than a custom made model.
Also, you gotta update the blog sir.
I swear her name was Paula Polstar, after the kindergarden/preschool/whatever it is. :srs:

Cool to see your back man. And Paula looks awesome, she is definitely going in to my Roster. The texture looks fantastic as usual, and you really caught her look with the oval head. As for your next project, I also say it should be Young Link.
Interesting discussion.

The fur looks very nice, maybe needing a bit more sharpening. (Fox's might be a good thing to look at) Oh,and I'm sure you could copy/paste/edit fox's nose in there as well, I've always liked how they did it.
As for the body, it could use less white. It's good that it's shiny, but maybe a cyan color would work better for highlights? Keep in mind, it's going to be lighted by the shader, so don't add
too much contrast... I often make that mistake, haha.
i hate the filter also. XD
I actually tried sharpening it a bit more before. Didn't like how it looked, so I smudged and sharpened it again. A bit more work-and this was the result...As for the highlights on the suit. I'll see what I can do...
Maybe sharpening was the wrong way to go. more contrast maybe? you kind of want the fur to look rendered+shaded before it's in-game, since the lighting system isn't going to do it

*Requests a Mother 3 character*
Quote from: ItalianStallion on May 05, 2012, 10:47:27 PM
*Requests a Mother 3 character*
I agree. Brawl needs a MOTHER villain, I say Masked Man would be perfect.
Nintendo character's hmmm?
I'd really like to see a sin and punishment character myself...
I vaguely remember you using isa as one of your avi's once but I could be wrong.
I'd also love to see a character from a new nintendo IP you know, like Xenoblade, last story, pandora's tower, Zangeki no Reginleiv so on and so fourth.
Just some ideas.
Here's what it's coming down to:
Masked Man
Roy
Shulk
Isa Jo
This Marth (http://serenesforest.net/fe13/img/dlc0419_img.jpg)
Terra Branford
I decided Terra over Light or Vanille. A classic FF game is much more fitting than XIII
Still, I doubt I'll do her anyway!!!
i hope you're making the masked man incase you couldn't tell XD
Wasn't Beyond doing Shulk?
As for Terra, who is she going over?
id love to see terra haha ;D

Nice list, I am looking forward to the Masked Man and new Marth.
Think of it as a voting list, not a "to-do" list. The first post is my possible to-do list. Knowing me, they won't get done... haha
I approve of all those characters xD
Also I have Isa's Model if you wanted it Pik.
I would prblly use it as a base though since Sin and punishment 2 models are pretty low quality, like the sane quality as brawl's assist trophies.
My vote goes to Young Link.
He's my favourite vertex, but without the limitations of vertexing, you could spruce up his arms, and wouldn't need to disable various bones and whatnot because of his hair and other things.(Actually, you could probably still rig his bangs to the hair bones, but in a way that won't have them move about in an undesired manner like the vertex's?)
The only problem I can see is whether or not he could still change expressions, given how Link's expressions work by moving the actual vertices on his face, instead of bones, textures, or multiple face polygons.
But maybe by using the vertex as a base and then making edits to it here and there, the expressions could still work if his face was kept?
Who would you plan to have him over? Link, Toon Link, or both? Both would be swell, but an understandable pain(I'd personally prefer him over Link, myself)

It's not Vert092 working on it, it's ExorcistRain and Shun_One and it's not a custom model it's a vertex and the results would turn out much nicer imo if Pik did a custom model and worked his texture magic on it as well.

Sorry for the mistakes I made in that post.
I also believe Pik can make a better version since we've seen his work and he's been around for a while now, but still no need to disrespect the other guy.

Looks good, but you should slim him down a bit. Also, my biggest issue with BY's Masked Man was that head was odd looking, kinda like a egg. Hopefully yours will come out different.

I always imagined his character to be slimmer then Lucas, I do not know exactly why though. I guess its the whole commander thing
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
But yea, slimming him down in the legs and stomach would probably be for the best.
Lucas looks "fat" because of his baggy shirt.
So how's this?
(http://content.screencast.com/users/GFLK/folders/Jing/media/951acca5-dad2-4c56-bf75-c6d5a28e9cf3/2012-05-08_2259.png)
I think the reasons BY's head looks "egg-shaped" is because he made the body too thin- I think animated, this would look fine. Still though, you guys were right. I thinned out his pants by a bit.
By the way, who should he go over?
Lucas? That'd be the obvious choice, but his manerisms are a bit too whimpy.
Maybe Ness? He has the same bone structure as Lucas, but is more confident. Still, he might be too cheerful for the Masked Man.
Then there's Marth, his moveset+mannerisms would be best. But even with a size mod, his proportions'll be weird.
hmmmmm well gee....
Marth? I hope you're joking.
I say Ness. Lucas powers do fit more and all that, but he is a [censored] after all.
Ness is more manly, if you will. He might be more playful, but still more serious than Lucas.
You can put him on Bowser if you want. Your choice at the end of the day.
both lucas and ness since their bonestructs are similar? anyways, thats the last thing to worry about between those two, since the proportions are also the same, would like seeing marth/ Masked Man with sword nontheless
also, found this from way back ;)

it's just a sheet, right?
or did u start the model already?
Nice. Masked Man.
I agree he should be over Ness, but if you're up to a more realistic MM over Marth I'd be down for that too.
Just promise me it won't take you 8 months to release him. :oshi:
Well, we'll see, BY.... it might just take SIXTEEN YEARS.......
Speaking of which, how many polys can brawl take? When am I going overboard? What about texture resolution? Can I have all 512 files??
will i crash the game???

I find it's usually best to shoot for 1024x1024 textures for best quality, but if it ends up not working, cut one in half, and keep cutting the size in half until it works. I dunno about polys though.
Agreed. It looks like most Brawl textures were painted at 1024x1024, and then sized down.
However, I've decided to mainly use a 256 size, and occasionally use 512 for the body file.
Pik, I would suggest you see how many polys the character you're replacing has, and make Masked Man have less than that. As for textures, if you do this, you might be able to go for 1024 on a few textures.

Well, take as much time you need...
As for polycounts, you can go up to around 15000 before experiencing any noticeable lag. I'd personally keep it under 12000 if you can.
Textures are more of a matter of the characters file size limit, though I'd doubt you could go all 512 though.
Ness and Lucas both have I believe two or three main textures. The rest are face expressions and stupid [censored] like that. Those don't need to be 512x512.
256x256 should be more than enough for that.
Oh, and the masked man won't need expressions, since he's like... dead... It looks cooler that way, too.
But here's a side view. How's the shape looking? Is he balanced, etc? If so, I'm ready to use this as model concept art.

Looks legit man.
No complaints about the shape. You decide who you plan to make him over?
The shape looks fine as is.
Go for it. I can't wait for a custom Masked Man.

No complaints, will he have wings?
That looks good to me.
I'm so [censored]ing hyped!
He should have wings.
Wings for Final Smash eyes. Personally I don't want to constantly be looking at stiff wings the whole time while I'm playing.
me neither
I might not have wings at all, but I guess there'd be no harm to make them the FS eyes.
I'm also debating whether or not to include the cannon and the sword. The cannon'll make rigging easier, plus it's a staple in his design; So I'm leaning towards it.
I've decided to put him over Ness. The sword'll just replace the bat, probably.
i was hoping for lucas for an alt but ness works too
I'd say go with the arm cannon. I don't actually remember masked man not having it out but yeah, I think it'd be cooler then just his hand.
Only problem is that ness's bat is on his right hand just like the arm cannon, so you'd have to swith them around to look natural.
Not sure whether to put the bat or cannon? Are you [censored]ing high sir? You must be. That's necessary.
It's like saying Wolverine without claws.
I can't believe you weren't planning on making the wings either. I guess at least as the Final Smash will be alright.
Sorry, but you seem like a different Pik. The one I use to know will go out of his way to do such things, now you don't know if you're going to make them?
i oficially hate wikipedia...
u cant even search info about a character without getting major spoilers...

I actually disagree with this, Pik usually bases on a sprite with looks, however the Masked Man presents many looks, he uses his wings rarely, he is most times without the arm cannon (specially in the final battle where he takes his mask off), Pik is just trying to do a modern version of the Masked Man for us, he even included some kickass buttons that weren't part of the original design to add more detail to the character himself.
*lights up a doobie*
But yeah stallion, he'll be having the cannon and the sword, don't worry. In MOTHER3, the wings were rarely used (like mvit said), and weren't really memorable for me- So making them FS eyes would be perfect. A PSA could make use it for his up B or some [censored].
Also, sorry to hear that, gamma kid. hehheh...

Its for the best I guess. He used his wings only twice (I think, did he fly into the 6th needles location?) any ways, I know you want to make it accurate, but you should put the canon on the left arm so the sword is not on the canon, it also better if some one attempts to make a psa for him.
Possibly me when Shadowmarth starts his psa school. But I may not, depending if I would have the time for the class and whether some one better would rather do it.

Sorry about that man, but if you ever got Lucas trophy in Brawl, they spoiled it there to. Still pick it up, there are still a lot of other twists to the story, which is a amazing story.

Nope, there are a few MOTHER 2 references, but mostly jokes. I also think there are a few MOTHER references too.

Nice to hear that! Even nicer to hear that you will include the wings on the FS eyes.
Love your work, you already know sir.

Here's just something to prove I'm actually working lol. The shoulder topology is utter [censored]e. I'm gonna redo it
Looking good man, hope to see more progress as you go on.
3D buttons!
You're not done with the torso right?
It's off to an awesome start Pik!
Looking good so far.
Can't wait to see what you do with the texture.
