Fixed an issue with the file you sent me this morning

Notice in your second screenshot how the monitor is transparent and you can see whats behind it.


Easy fix :v

DSX8 made that arena larger.


Getting pretty fancy if I do say so myself.

You did a really job for the stage of Megaman but the Castle is kinda weird.
Maybe you can do like xxWutzMercyxx did? A 2D castle? And for the moutain you can make a 3D one.

About the projector you can take the one from New Pork City.

The more I look at it, the more I'm starting to think it IS 2d.

And I've thought about it, but I've decided to do the castle dead last, and do the platforms mountain and sky first.

^ That's a screen grab of the actual stage on the Wii U version not an actual import XD

Cant REALLY call it an import either.

since its being made, not imported.


Anyway,

For a Pretty much flat stage, there is a lot going on inside the model.



Gonna finish up the platforms before I do anything else on the castle.

But.. I thought you hated Megaman

I feel the same way about it as I do Kingdom Hearts.
Hate? No
Think its an over rated series? Yes :v
I enjoy the games, but they're not the godsends people make them out to be.


That said, the visuals of the Wily stage are just too much to pass up on.


I mean look at that its awesome.

I thought the boxing ring was the only floor on the stage. I've been looking at the trailer over and over again and I think it is.

I've done my research sir.




Additionally I have another project going

Unforutunately, it wasnt supported by fans and was cancelled

Looks nice so far in game and all.

Just a thought. I'm not really feeling the 2D image background, but its probably temporary.

One thing though, you guys should probably use the Pokemon Stadium 2's background ModelData. It would be perfect for this, and even work off of the lighting from there I would say, gives it that same night feel, since apparently the version on Smash Bros Wii U has no ceiling.

Keep up the good work!

That is an interesting idea.

I just made that skybox in 2 seconds by inverting a sphere. I never intended for it to be finalized.

Shouldn't the ring be bigger?

I'd think so.

But thats a simple bone scale. Its kinda hard to porportion things to brawl in 3ds max. I actually imported Luigi's model as a baseline and its still annoying.

Effing awesome! the pinks in the smash bros. sign should be more muted. maybe include the 'cool' colors in the reference picture to break it up a little. For right now, the smash bros. sign (the pink one) looks a bit busy in the background.

the beams and the speakers are the coolest! the rate of your progress is so impressive.

A simple Texture edit. I'll mess around with it later

As we still havent seen the actual banner in a clear shot yet. I think I did pretty well.

I'm afraid to put the giant TV in.

But I must.

Starting Building the more finalzed parts in brawlbox



See I told you 3ds max hated textures.

I am now entering the "why is this crashing the game" phase of stage hacking.


EDITEEDIT:

I made a huge mistake while modeling it. Each bar of the beams have 16 sides. That sent the poly count mad high. Removed them and crashing fixed. Just gotta redo the beams.

Well things will obviously look better rendered in brawl.

3ds max has a way of making texture quality look bad.


But it still needs work, but I'll work on that later. I'd rather model the entire thing before finalizing the textures.

TODAYS PROGRESS:


Went with the seats approach, I messed around with the 2d Crowd idea, coudln't really make it look good.

Sakurai made this picture just for me.

It now looks like it has no ceiling with a night sky behind it. Yayy this actually makes my life easier.

you can't include a crowd texture like in the pokemon stadium 2 stage?

Yay fuzzy 2 dimensional Pixelated People in the backgrounddddd

yeah i can do all of that, plus the moving spot lights and stuff.

if u can get like all of that set up for me, i can work on that asap while u do the other stuff (probably make it as a separate model)

I'd rather not until I have everything in place.

Oddsd are Im going to remake it 4 or 5 times while figuring out how to make the upper layer.

that is not bad at all

and yea, should be no crowd due to the poly limit for brawl is, that might over-do it majorly lol
i could help u with the stage lighting, and texture animations if needed.

That would be great, I've never messed with animated textures. It would help with the Smash bros ring which I think its meant to rotate.

Today's progress.


Im Not sure how to go about a 2d Crowd. I thin I'll just put in empty chairs.

Its not like SSB4 is here so the crowd woudln't be in right? Right?

lolol
yeah i know how to work with the screens, i believe M22k does too.

Expect a PM from me.


Later. No point in dealing with that until all the models and textures are done.
