thanks, and because I will try and finish up ss skyloft link tomorrow I have one for the Zelda series too. I will delete the previous skin and re-rig using auto-rig guide. I used it a long time ago and got crap results, after doing zss and young samus I realized my mistakes.
ZSS PROGRESS (young samus)
RIG IS COMPLETE
NOT YET DONE, STILL NEED
-lower filesize, remove vertices & reduce textures -better rigged gun -the texture for the communicator, not in the folder I downloaded -expressions, metals and all that
feedback from anyone that is testing samus and zss would be greatly appreciated. you can also take dolphin pics for submission. also if someone who is testing could get a video that would be great. the video would be to show the glow effects, so if you could play on a stage that changes lighting to show the effects.
IF ANYONE DOES VIDEO PLEASE DO
-side taunt to show gun replace and effects -final smash to show gun replace and effects -include the ship, bomb, & missiles -anything else that you think should be in the video
I will finish organizing and use the symbol image of each character in OP as the download link. i need feedback and to be sure that everything is correct and working before uploading to the vault. i can't test because the sd slot for this laptop doesn't work. after some feedback i will upload to the vault.
anyone that test post feedback if you have any, no pm please. i am aware of some of the issues already and posting here will keep me from hearing anything that might be the same. if anyone find anything from this uploaded to vault please report, nobody has permission. also if anyone can manage pics for submissions that would be great to have. i am also still willing to collab any testers.
i tried to submit saturday but my desktop was slow and giving me problems, so i had to restore it to a earlier time just to get it to run. i uploaded all my files to the storing websites to have for later before restoring so i wouldn't lose anything. it took way too long to do just that. afterwards i had to leave, so not much was done. Sunday i just created folders and started arranging stuff.
OP will be updated with demo. i will mark thread as new if nobody post before then. didn't feel like making something with the characters so made i these so you know who you are downloading.
Question: the Samus model will be usable without the extra animation stuff right? Don't take it the wrong way, but I'm only really interested in having the model as a costume, not really as a full blown replacement, so I don't really want to use the MotionEtc if I don't have to.
ZSS looks good, I hope her shoulders didn't give you much trouble, they're a pain from what I remember.
yes samus will be usable without the extra animations. may not include any animations, if any are included they will not be placed directly in the motionetc. I will have them in a separate folder. the motionetc included will be needed if you want the new bomb and missiles. it will be needed for samus animations for the ship entry whenever I do it. I will edit the original animations so it better fit the model.
I don't think I want to make her a full replace anymore. at least not now. I will study psa and maybe in the future I will give her a moveset.
rigging the shoulder for zss on my own was difficult so I redid her yesterday and used the auto rig guide. worked much better.
today I will do recolors for zss based on samus, only six for release.
ZSS PROGRESS (RECOLORS) original blue and power suit
gravity and pink
green and varia
light and black
there are more but they are pretty much duplicate so I will not post them. red, light blue, dark blue. will edit light, black, and varia to look better.
ok don't worry about it if it goes over filesize after your texture edit. I will be able to lower it if it does. and I will be posting a few more costumes if you are making your vibrant based on the recolors as well. and if you like you could post pics. you can do the original costumes I send as well as your vibrant costume because you have dolphin and will look better.
will pm soon
SAMUS PROGRESS (recolors) EDIT-fusion added
first two are two version of phazon suit. gun lights will be blue, I forgot to change it. 3rd is fusion, may change light color to yellow. the last is my take on brawl dark suit. power suit will be shown tomorrow because I left it on my desktop and forgot to upload it to a site to use today. will show tomorrow after I get on my desktop. I will also finalize the textures and show in game preview of suits because I will be able to test in game. the sd slot for the laptop doesn't work.
EDIT-ingame recolors (recolors in-game)
have to work on a few of them some more. these colors apply to all 3 models. will only release six recolors for each so SJS doesn't have to do to much. right now it's 13 suits, 13x3 is 39 . so six for each is probably okay, 18 suits. so for anyone that cares which suits they get I will do a poll. the three are for a blue slot, red slot, and dark slot.
also I am finishing up the rig for zss, just need to do the ponytail and hands. she may get released on Saturday with samus. will work on her recolors and post them when done, will match samus. might show zss later today. only the original version will be released though. the other two will not be ready by Saturday, especially the young galactic federation samus.
you can make them. will send a pm, have to finish some recolors and send files. also if you don't mind I would like to include them in the pack release. will advertise them in the description and text file so people are aware of them.
reason being I am hoping that this hack can give me an award for download count eventually. either for it having a lot of downloads on its own or giving me a higher total download for an award. I currently have no awards. another award I want is ninja since I don't post much.
if anyone else would like to do something for the project that would help let me know so I can give files and collab. everything might not be accepted but I will try to find something for you to do to get collab. it can be pretty much anything like moves/animation or texture edit for another project like shun. if it's anything else ask me about it.
I would also like feedback from the hack to improve it. you can be a tester or make/edit a few things. also I will not add too many people or testers. the limit of collabs will be in the teens. I will also advertise everything from everyone that does something in the description of the download. I will also include the things done in a txt file as well. the only request I have is that nobody uploads or re-upload things from the hack, especially without permission. also I will not constantly update and cause lots of pm's for anyone. if I update, it will be for something forgot or a group of added things.
I am doing this so that the pack satisfy everyone, and so people who want it soon will not have to wait until Saturday because they can be a tester. Wednesday is not looking like the release day. it could be but it doesn't look like it will be.
I updated the OP with people already involved and will update again if needed. UNDER RELEASE
I'd rather you send over the files for all the recolors. The CSPs are more accurate that way.
just started and I have the template done to make them quickly
before I send SJS/you the costumes for csp and bp I will post preview of each costume for feedback. I want to make sure anyone who will download is okay with them. SJS will you be able to do the csps and bp on Wednesday. this gives the rest of today and a whole day tomorrow for the costumes to be looked at.
EDIT will edit pic size later
still need to work on the light suit. still have to make a power suit and dark. may make phazon.
will you be able to make the recolors for the csps without the actual recolored costume? if so i can send you the file i uploaded last night to give to nano with the original 3 costumes and can explain how i would like for them to look.
if you need the actual recolored costume i can have them to you later today. may take awhile because i have to use a laptop with no mouse to make them.
also to make sure they are in great quality do you need me to do anything extra. one thing that i will do though is provide an extra set of textures that have the original/bigger size.
the pose may need edit for the shoulder pad. if it's no bother and the suit does need edits to the shoulder pad, could you make the edits and save this as an extra copy of the pose specifically for this model. that way when i finish the custom costumes i can send them over. if you do this you can send the pose to me and i can save it somewhere and send it to you with costume costumes. i won't use it for any of my hacks over samus because it's your pose, i will hold it just in case.
if you want a custom one let me know so the csps can be done with them, check below first I have a few already planned. if yours is not below then post them. be specific of model type, among them there is one texture with two different looks, one for the powersuit and the other is shared between gravity and original.
(CUSTOM SUITS/FUTURE UPDATES)
PED corrupt corrupt PED will be done by editing vertices of the suit
phazon may replace ????? if you have a better idea for ????? please post
for the csp pose I like the one sjs has for samus in his thread. if you can think of another pose let me know. I will ask him if he has the pose so I can make them. I would let him make them but it's going to take some time to make csps and bps for each recolor for each suit. but if he wants to make them it's fine with me. I will collab either way. so if he doesn't read this and nobody provides a pose then I will pm him to see about the pose.
fingers rigged(not the best) correct textures for powersuit/old
have to fix gravity, it went 7 kb over filesize. afterwards I will send them to nano for the transparency fix while I get recolors, csps, bps and whatever else done. I will release what I have done so far and edit the pack with whatever is not included another time. release is this week Wednesday or Saturday night, I will be on my desktop both days and try to get as much done which is why it will be at night.
unless I finish it soon it will not include the entry, haven't done or started on samus animation for it.
haven't placed the hand in the correct spot in max yet. model doesn't fit with brawl bones so I am and had to do a lot of editing to the model while rigging. I was actually about to start placing and rigging it. before I do that I am reducing and fixing some of the textures in some area because of the metal textures I added.
ignore the gun the method I used was very easy and simple but for some reason it did not want to work for the gun and it gave me something very strange, I will have to fix it later.
Well, what you can do is trying to turn the arm for hiding the blackball thing... And for the foot, I guess you know what to do. Looks really good in game! Just... do you plan on making the original recolors (like brawl recolors etc...) or custom ones? Curiosity
i have brawl original and custom recolors planned and it won't take long to do since all costumes use the same exact textures.
