Edit in a few minutes, I'll be going to the store for food stuffs. I need some AAA batteries for my PS3 controller, so I might not have them up right now. It shouldn't be too long though. they are pretty much finished so I can just do this once I get back.
Edit2: I made a rush description for them and quickly uploaded them before I have to leave, I'll need to make pictures and stuff for the 1st page some other time.
I hope they turned out well for everyone else....
And Morshu will have to be postponed because I ran into a few errors trying to convert the file.
Oh, I forgot about that, let *me* go find some tuts for this, and Metal was done-ish but now he'll need the shinning.
. .. ... ....
I'm testing some stuff right now so it may take some time. If this goes well then Metal will be uploaded along side Metal Knuckles hopefully.
I'll probably need to update Super Sonic sometime as well for the reflective or glowing effect for him.
Edit: I can't get any of the shiny reflectiveness to work.
Edit2: Never mind, I got them to finally work out right now. Screenshots are being taken and both Metal Knuckles and Metal Sonic will have the metal shine on them and they will be uploaded at the same time.
But before I complete Metal Sonic, what sort of blaster should he have? Should he even have a blaster?
Okay, I started detaching his arms and now moving towards his legs. Its very hard to see through everything since its just one giant object. I'll need to save the body parts as individual pieces.
There were also some texture problems that needed to be flipped and a out of place photo realistic nut that was placed on him, that was replaced with bolts from Metal Sonic. It looks a little bit better now in my opinion.
I have no idea on why that is except that there is a texture in Rocket Metal that has what I would like to say would be the words on his head. But its hardly any good and it appears to be cut off.
A lot of stuff seems to be missing from Bagjac's rips, an example would be that no one had came with a mouth or expressions. But that can be easily made, I just don't want to right now.
Sorry Eggman, I dun broked it what did you expect a polar bear to do with it?
IMPORTANT I need help with Knuckles, not the metal one. There is a user who seems to always have Knuckles' eyes in final smash mode at all times. But I've tested it out multiple times and both Knuckles with the modern eyes and Classic eyes trigger for the respective roles, the normal eyes stay and change when I get a final smash.
However, the user is still experiencing the problems with the eyes. If it works well for me; does anybody else here experiencing the same problem as he?
You may also need the PSA for the character to work:
Hey main, the post like that is what I like, full of progress and communication. It all for the sake of getting Metal Sonic and Rocket Metal Sonic fixed, I feel bad for brushing errors under the carpet though.
Well I definitely need to brush up on UV mapping, I'll be doing that and learn from your mini tut as well.
I'll check that out too. The Metal Sonic's all going over Wolf with the other Metal Sonic Hacks and to go with my SFX mod cause I want less work for myself in that area. I actually did something to Metal Sonic's face and head problems but this only if I exulted all options of fixing that one dot in the UV map that held the eye piece and the black triangle.
It's hardly professional and quite down right lazy.
I took what was causing me the most problems and fussed it with the eyes, and then I re-imported the new eyes and made a new texture that will change the triangle blue and just moved the problem area back into the head.
In short, it caused me so much problems that I decided to just brush it under the carpet....
. .. ... ....
By the time I did this reply, I had already went to fix the normals, I can't get rid of it. Well I know for a fact that I lack sufficient knowledge in UV Maps, I'll hold onto my cheap M.Sonic until the solution becomes clear enough that my knowledge on this matter becomes broader.
Edit: and thanks for the Fix'n of the RMS. I was only one arm done until I thought of attempting Metal again. I think it was the left arm?
Sounds almost like ripping stuff from PS2 games and the way they come out. Well that's good news for Honey in a way (wish there was an easier method though). I looked into RM's UVs and played around the area of the black triangle, and I see that it was more simple than I made it out to be.
However, as for Metal I still don't know how to fix it. I've looked into his UVs and the spot where the black triangle is present is also the black parts between the eyes. For some reason, they seem to be both connected.
I mentioned this to another user about "Honey", the pack of Sonic The Fighters models didn't include Honey The Cat. I can only assume that the model rips were from the Gamecube Sonic Gems Collection version of Sonic the Fighters, which completely removed any of the unused characters that were on the Arcade version.
If they tried to use the same cheating method of playing Honey, they would get a headless Sonic and then freezing.
I don't know how to rip models from the original Arcade ROM, or the game data of the HD version for the PS3 and XBOX 360, so the only thing would be if the model were to be recreated in that style, or to use other renditions of Honey the cat.
But I do have an idea about solving the triangle issue though.....
Thanks, For the help. I'm pretty much stationary on Metal Sonic because of his warped UV map, and now that I think about it he wasn't the only one who had warped textures. He would be the only one that I couldn't make a work-around for though....
I'll take whatever help I can get to fixing Metal Sonic and that stupid black triangle. Post Merge: August 11, 2013, 01:58:26 AM
I must have over looked this the first time I looked at him. Then I decided to go back and inspect him thoroughly, and I find this piece of [censored] again on his head. whatever is with the UVs, its [censored]ing everything up and really don't want to put these two on the back burner. I'd rather have Eggman or his Bot on the back burner before these two.
Any way, progress has started on Charmy and he will be placed over Ness. I have no Idea who the EggBot or Eggman and his mech will be over, Maybe R.O.B, Ganon, Bowser, Snake, or a Boss character. I'm not really sure about them, but the metals will be over Wolf when ever I get back to them, and I'm still working on Tails over MK.
Alrighty then, I start working on getting a better Tail over MK then. And my first stop is to ask the members that were involved with the Knuckles over Jigglypuff hack. Finished importing Knuckles over that hack and tested, it worked like a charm, so I'm definitely going to try and get Tails working with the newer method. Thanks Jaklub for the info I needed to know.
Pic before release:
Charmy will be next then I'll have to juggle between Metal Sonic or Rocket Metal Sonic. I wants my regular Metals, but he has that black triangle that I can't fix on him. I'm not to fond of Rokettometarusonikku, but he's the only one that has the right colours and no black triangle on the back of his head.
Well like most of the STF models, their Uv's are just terrible and worst of all, Metal Sonic didn't come with his own textures but using Rocket Metal Sonic's textures. This wouldn't really be a problem since they actually share alot of the same textures and it'll look great when applied, but then the problem hits with textures loading onto different areas of the body.
To bypass some of the errors, I deleted some things, reapplied textures and then imported as a single object back in. But I can't do that with the head. There is this one spot that remains black and this is also connected to the black space between the eyes. And its all in that one little red dot in the UV section on the Right.
Its definitely noticeable, and its annoying as hell, but I don't know how to get pass this problem of Metal's head. I'll move on to either Charmy or Rocket but regular Metal will have to join Tails.
small edit: I forgot about Knuckles, so I added him at the top of the WIP section.
*IMPORTANT*
This has been bothering me for the longest now, but for awhile now I've been only crediting to several people that I had received advice from or had followed a tutorial from and or borrowed 1 or more pieces from another member's hack.
I feel that these people deserve to be collabed and they probably should have been in the beginning. The only one I can't add in would be Bagjac, but for everyone else I will add Spex130, Iwvi, and joke king as collaborated partners of my model imports.
Well Tails over MetaKnight will have to wait unless I decided to make a standard Sonic import or place him over Ness.
Super Sonic and Amy will be uploaded next once I get screenshots of Amy from in game, until then I'll give you this for now:
I had to make a custom Piko Piko Hammer for her since her weapon wasn't ripped nor did I find anything similar to her classic hammer, so like Fang, I had to do some extra stuff for her. I hope you'll like it.
Thanks KTH , It wasn't easy and its still not even with the skin wrap method. Once I finish off these characters, I'll probably step away from Sonic for a while and get Morshu and Joe Musashi worked on so that I can get more human rigging practice in and properly rig hands. Once after that, I'll hopefully get my hands on Starman from Earthbound for Samus.
While on topic....
For the most part, Super Sonic is complete, You can choose from having a regular character replacement or to have it as a transformation. The classic style has the regular eyes and the other file will have the modern eyes as always, only that I didn't go with the the green eyes but instead the red. I'll include the green eyes .png file with the download, but I'm going to keep it red.
Only one of these picuters will be used on the first post...
Tails is getting some progress done and he will hopefully be compatible with the MetaKnight Tails PSA and a standard Sonic replacement is to be planned.
Metal Sonic will be placed over wolf, but there is a black triangle on his head and that will need to be fixed. The reason for that is that he didn't come with his own texture, I had to use Rocket Metal Sonic's texture to get most of everything I needed, everything else would need some sort of overhaul.
EDIT: Well Tails ended up failing to be placed over MetaKnight, its a shame, so I might end up porting Tails over a different character since Meta won't work. Progress came a crashing halt, I need some ideas
ToonLink Ness Pit Mario Luigi Falco Link
I'm going to hate to lose out on the moveset, but I have no idea how to get him working over the MetaKnight PSA, so I'll need to import him over someone else.
I still don't have the Super Sonic all put together, but in the mean time I'll soon two versions of Vector. One will be for Bowser to go along side Nanobuds modern Vector, and the second one is an import over C.Falcon to give him that weird air move from Knuckles chaotix.
One thing I might add is that the hands are a pain in the ass and I loath them to the deepest part of my being (under my feet maybe?). With that being said, expect some slight deformation with the hands on Bowser. And to give credit where credit is due, the hands are from Nanobuds modern Vector import and of course Bagjac's custom [STF] Vector.
Here are the demo pictures till I can get the stuff for the Vault:
Edit: Updated the list of WIPs with the rest of the [STF] models that I can use for import goods.
Well the purple hedgehog's name is Pana Der hejhog or something. That was already rigged by Spex130, so I don't think I need to touch him, unless I were to port him over sonic. The other models, I don't really have plans for those right now. Most of my attention is on importing the Sonic the Fighters models right now.
But I can't do a lot right now since I'm at the super market with my parents and one of my older siblings, so maybe when I get back but Joe Musashi would have higher priority than the other custom models.
Edit: I originally planned for Vector to over Bowser with his modern counterpart that Nanobuds released, but then I decided to probably port him over C.Falcon to give him that skill that would resemble his Knuckles Chaotix ability. Super Sonic [STF] transformation is almost complete.
