I just downloaded donkey box and I'm going to try that out and see how it goes. any other advice you can throw at me man?

hey guys hows it going. I've been lurking and downloading for awhile but I've only really decided to make it my winter vacation hobby to actually make something. I have a pretty good understand of how everything works, I researched how to vertex hack and how to make recolor textures, and I've done some stuff using maya before, and I'm familiar with working on a computer generator plane using autocad. I've done replacement portraits, and replacement screens, those are all simple to me.

What I'm asking for is, if I were to create a character using say captain falcon as an example, what programs would I need. So far, I have brawlbox, 3d MAX 8, photoshop.

If anybodys curious, I'm making gurren lagann (from the show) using captain falcon's body as the base.

thanks in advance guys.

anybody?

hey guys, I just into texture hacking and I have a general plan to go about using it to the fullest.

I used the Dark Blue CSS that was posted on here, I forget the author off of the of my head but credit goes to him completely and the codes he provided which allowed for the alloys, the pokemon, sheik, zss, giga bowser, and warioman to be selectable on the character selection screen.
I would like to add custom colors for every character including CSPs (which I know is a lengthy process) but more importantly I would like to know if there is a way to setup different movesets with each color, and if not, is there a way to eliminate the extra characters (alloys, GB, WM etc.) so that I can add in character variations with different movesets so that I can keep the original ones in tackt (for instance, the cloud strife texture + moveset hack replaces ike's moveset either way, but I would like to use this character PLUS ike's original movset and the only way I can think of to do it is to eliminate a character)

Thanks in advance guys, I love doing this, I was big into mugen back in the day and this is feeling like such a blast from the past.
