Cause that's seriously what this is.



What's changed here? I defined Bowser's skin a bit. That's pretty much it.

This though?:



Take a wild guess. My goal is for this to be useable for all Bowser hacks, including the back-lit ones by Mewtwo2000.

I was hoping someone would be willing to test these for me once I finish them?

You have a tester.

Just lemme know what you need me to do.

What I need is someone to apply both of these to Bowser and take screens of how it looks in-game. The B/W one is a specular map. Lemme go and makes a copy of it as a PNG.

Well, I'll give it a shot but I've never done a spec map before.

Update:

Redid most of it and have made massive progress.

Wow, so detailled, I love it.

Sick stuff, dude. :3 I'd love to play as this over one of my Bowser slots once it's done.

Yet another update, with a little more progress on the scales than last time.

i think the highlights are a bit too bright.
unless they will be using some specific overlaying option or whatevaz...

It's going to be a Spec Map. Like C.Falcon's.

It looks so pwetty!  I want to see it ingame D:

You might as soon as I get it done, man. I plan to give Spec Maps to as many characters as I can.

oh that makes sense... xD
but you should add details the diffuse map doesnt have, instead of only accentuating the already existing scales on his skin...

Nintendo should've done this in the first place, they're so lazy.

They might have at one point during development, but may have cut it due to a data quota. We'll never know. :P

Okay. I have a new version of Bowser's texture, and the scales are nearly finished. I need someone to test how it's coming along, so...Who'd be willing to apply the speculars and new texture?

I can help you as you want.

I still volunteer.

I need someone who can apply speculars to characters ala C.Falcon.

I could test it for you. I know how to add specular maps to characters.
P.S. - Bowser is my favorite character, so it'd be neat to see him with Specular mapping. :)

Would be nice to have one for Giga, too. Just throwing it out there. ;)

I'll send you the stuff via PM then. Be sure to send me screenies.

I probably won't do him for a while. He's pretty damn big..

Glad to see you brought some activity to this dead section, Velen. :)

Ok, thank you for having ignored me.

Wow. Didn't expect Alba to pay a visit. You're welcome. =)

I'm sorry about that, man. I didn't mean to come off that way...

JoeTE already tested it. It's coming along nicely but there needs to be a way to increase the surface area of how much of the specular is shown at a time, otherwise we'll be stuck with it being merely C.Falcon-styled shine, and considering Bowser's skin is not made of rubber. I can't have that.

Speaking of: Here's the screenshot he took to get an idea what it looks like. Somewhat.

Yeah, the spec map isn't too noticeable in that screenshot I showed earlier.

But that is definitely be fixable, using the information I just sent you via PM.

I'll leave a copy of the information here (just in case anyone else wants to see it and/or the new screenshots I provided.)

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Well, I've always thought of Bowser's scales and being armor-like, so I want them to have a semi-metallic shine.

Also, if you look at his scales in Super Mario Galaxy, they shine too, somewhat.

Update!

Specular map is complete!

I would've added to the shell, but it's way too hard to do with nothing but a track pad. X_X



Also, the slightly updated original to go along with the new scales

I gotchu
