Post by: Vitinho on September 20, 2011, 02:51:27 PM yeah bro this is a kicking ass tutorial now i wont have to ask too much for CSPS ;D
Title: Re: How to make High Quality Custom CSPs, CSS icons, CSS names, and Recolors! Post by: SiLeNtDo0m on September 20, 2011, 03:05:03 PM I've always wondered the proper way to do this. Well, I was slowly figuring it out myself but this tutorial is awesome. And it's now even better now that we have Brawlbox 0.64 which has proper good lighting.

Title: Re: How to make High Quality Custom CSPs, CSS icons, CSS names, and Recolors! Post by: Phred on October 04, 2011, 11:58:02 AM Also be aware that parts of your CSP will be cut off by the game interface.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/PhredLevi/framing.jpg) I always keep that in mind because it bugs me to lose their faces under the ready bar. Title: Re: How to make High Quality Custom CSPs, CSS icons, CSS names, and Recolors! Post by: ZeppelinWolf on October 04, 2011, 08:34:35 PM awesome!

([url]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/PhredLevi/framing.jpg[/url]) I always keep that in mind because it bugs me to lose their faces under the ready bar. i use a different CSS... so i dont rly have that problem. but some people may. Title: Re: How to make High Quality Custom CSPs, CSS icons, CSS names, and Recolors! Post by: JBG on October 18, 2011, 12:19:54 AM Of course, even with the new brawlbox that has lighting, you should still play around with the dodge and burn tools on an overlapping layer to give the CSP more depth.
Actually, honestly, there are some better ways of doing this. Perhaps I should make my own CSP tutorial, even though I have little experience in the subject. But I've made my fair share of poses. Title: Re: How to make High Quality Custom CSPs, CSS icons, CSS names, and Recolors! Post by: Sacred Myth on October 19, 2011, 09:27:36 AM Thx for this incredible guide. Made my first CCS Names and portraits using this

Post by: nanobuds on October 23, 2011, 06:44:37 PM how do i increase the lighting? so it can become more brighter? eh... try playing around with the dodge tool. the new BrawlBox has lighting effects... maybe it can make things brighter?

Title: Re: How to make High Quality Custom CSPs, CSS icons, CSS names, and Recolors! Post by: nanobuds on March 12, 2012, 07:03:30 PM Its just the eye placement... that takes practice to get right.
also, try to brighten it up a bit... use the dodge tool a bit Title: Re: How to make High Quality Custom CSPs, CSS icons, CSS names, and Recolors! Post by: mvit on March 24, 2012, 10:03:36 PM About the CSS names, the font Nintendo uses for the default one is Mercury Display Bold (http://f.cl.ly/items/3c1O3L0Z0n1J1d1T3002/Screen%20Shot%202012-03-24%20at%2011.32.13%20PM.png)

So I just fix the eyes & move them a bit then I brighten it a bit? How do I fix the "eyes popping out at you" problem? They look a bit too big but if I make them smaller they are to tiny. Weird. What exactly does the Dodge Tool do? Title: Re: How to make High Quality Custom CSPs, CSS icons, CSS names, and Recolors! Post by: FallenKing on May 16, 2012, 01:56:38 AM Hey, I'm trying to do the CSS name, and I was wondering how I can get the Levibrush font onto my Gimp program. It didn't come with that font installed. I googled it, but I'm not really sure which download link to use, and I'm not sure how to install the font into Gimp.

Title: Re: How to make High Quality Custom CSPs, CSS icons, CSS names, and Recolors! Post by: the_randomizer on July 27, 2012, 10:41:35 PM Not sure if is the right place, but for some reason, even after replacing CSP files in sc_selcharacter_en.pac, (under char_bust_tex_lz77), they don't show up in the menu, much less on the battlefield. The characters' portraits I'm attempting to replace are located under Misc_Data[12] and Misc_Data[43], which are Peach and Wolf respectively.
The .png files in question are all 120x160 pixels with transparency layers using Photoshop, and yet, despite following all instructions, none of them ever show up in Brawl. Is this due to my using Dolphin as opposed to a real Wii console? Does it I need to delete the matching character costume's old palettes? (What I mean is, Peach's default outfit is named "MenSelchrFaceB.121", so if I swap that with a new CSP, do I need to delete the old palette)? |
