Very nice! I really like that you actually went and did some animation edits as well, very well done.

Wow thanks!! Awesome hearing that from one of the legendary Smash 3 guys!

im impressed... dont see that many good looking jigglypuffs on the vault! xD
more impressed u got the mouth working just fine :vyse:

is there the XY hat for your jiggs? thats the costume i use and want it in brawl :P

Ha! I was going to skip that costume thinking that was the one nobody would miss... Sure, I'll get to it today!

awesome! :D

I love the model and really consider update my brawlsona model to Smash4 model, really great work :3

but the rigging could be better tho

I don't really get how people are praising this without giving any form of critique when the rigging of this model has noticeable issues.

The most noticeable issues are with the hair and the ears. You also have the HaveN bones rigged for some reason. Another issue is the lack of Final Smash eyes.

Here's an example image showing the rigging issues with an example pose.


My suggestion would be to study the rig of Brawl's Jigglypuff model, compare it to your rig, and make changes accordingly.

Yeah, I will freely admit this thing does have some issues. Before I started this, I had no idea how to even use 3DS Max at all.

I did actually have Brawl Puff's model open the entire time rigging the thing, but despite my best efforts, the ears and hair were really giving me trouble. If you have the time, do you think you could help me out?

I think part of the problem was when I used the Optimize modifier to reduce the poly count. The ear verticies weren't as easy to weight how the Brawl Model expects.

Thanks for pointing out those places to improve, O' Great King Jiggly.

EDIT: Forgot to mention: Dunno why the HaveN bones are rigged... I'll check that out myself. And for the Final Smash eyes, I figured I didn't want to increase the filesize any more than I already have (there are 10 different 256x256 eye textures in which the pupils show). Not to mention, animating all the Final Smash eye poses would be a real pain as well.

 Sexy Jiggs! I don't see how KJP's image shows the messy rig. Did you fix it before the video? Or certain animations not show mess up?

Do you not see the faulty ears and the stray vertices on the hair rig?!

It's nice to see users acknowledging criticism in a positive manner. It's really a breath of fresh air. I hope you can use this to better yourself. I'll be looking forward to future improvements. :)

I have way too much on my plate in order to take things up right now. :-\

 No, I see, I meant that in the video it looked flawless so I was wondering if they fixed it before the video was uploaded or avoided the messy animations.

Okay! A few days ago I actually went and rerigged the model, vertex by vertex this time. It's still not perfect in-game, as the MotionEtc file expects the hair to be rigged differently, but in most cases it looks fine.

It actually really looks like the Sm4sh Jigglypuff! Nice job!
