could you also do a stage using some of the volcanic island model you have. if not could you give any or a few to me and I could try to make something, I really want a stage from that area or with a view of that volcanoe.
SAMUS PROGRESS ADDED BONES (new bones added to the model gun)
didn't go into much detail with the animation it is capable of a better animation I just lazy but i added new bones and I plan on having glow added to lights inside of the gun if everything runs properly.
this is the see through visor version, so far it doesn't look like it will freeze. I have to re add the materials and shaders to see. I will post later with the beta rigged young samus above and the in game previews of new samus and young samus if there are no problems
sorry for the pic sizes i am using my wii u. i have a question though for anyone that may be interested in varia suit. do you think i should keep it as it is or give it more detail like the wii u version. if i give it the wii u version look there are three options applying to the legs and shoulder pads.
(1) i can get rid of the glow and lights on the legs and shoulders to add the vents and shape the areas like the wii u version. this will make it look exactly like wii u version with differences being that they are different models.
(2) i can keep the lights/glow and just shape the suit like the wii u version. so instead of having vents it will glow in those areas.
(3) make it look like the wii u version with a glow/light effect under the vents.
all version will have the detail and include vents added to the chest and stomach area like the wii u version, but only if anyone would prefer a wii u look over the current look. for those that need pics of the two
if you need brawlbox and/or in game pics to decide which version would be best i will be on my pc sunday so hopefully i can make the edits and show something then.
Since you are doing Young Samus, any chance you'd also do this outfit?
i can't see your image but if you are talking about this one then hopefully yes, i have the model and is using the head, hair and communicator over the original other m zss model for the outfit i showed. my first time importing the outfit above she was way over filesize just like both of the zss models, but i manage to get them low and keep their quality. i plan on doing the same for the outfit above. if i can keep her quality and lower her filesize then she will also be imported.
that's due to the rigging, I haven't completed it yet. what's suppose to be there is there it's just needs proper rigging, I am switching through max and my game to test it.
when I first started the model went way over filesize, 3000+. managed to get it a little over 1000. so I am limiting and getting rid of things that won't be seen.
after I am finished getting rid of and limiting these things I will save it as a backup to replace the textures, shaders, and material of the new one when I complete the rig.
I really like how this samus is going so far, but in my opinion you should make a non visible samus head on visor version, with this youll have more space for the FS gun, or if you have tons of polys/objects you can merge some which shares the same texture to gain more filesize for the visible samus version. Remember tons of polygons/objects in BB makes bigger filesize. But still im looking forward to samus
I will make sure to do all of those things but first am working on the one with the head model to see how far I can take it. I plan to make both of them the same in all areas with the exception of the head model.
ZSS PROGRESS IN GAME PREVIEWS these are actual in game pics taken using the Wii and the pic converter to post, looks better in game. (glow effects added)
(1) also if filesize allows it i will add extra bones to the gun of the model. the inside of the gun has lights that i plan to show off during attacks, taunts, and the final smash. if i am successful it will look similiar to this.
(2) if i can beat filesize for her i will show zss in game progress. if i can't lower filesize i will show a poor quality model. if i can't beat filesize before i finish varia samus the final product will not have a few things like moving eyes and expressions.

I have to check a few things because it's showing up in bb I just have to make the proper shader and material edits I believe. If it doesn't work I will pm it to you.
Sorry about no pics yet. I've been out of town pretty constantly and I'll be gone this week as well. If you still need some pics of the menu stuff, let me know.
Thanks and yes if you could take pics that would be nice. I will let you know when I need some.
MORE SAMUS PROGRESS (glow effect added)
IN GAME PREVIEWS(SSB WII U) now has glow effect for
and as soon as I get the transparency working a portion of the visor will also have the glow effect so it can glow and her face can be seen if possible. if that doesn't work I may have to go with just texture edit for see through version and just glow for battle version.
rig is incomplete IN GAME PREVIEWS(SSB WII U) first two shows difference in textures with lighting last two shows the absence of the brawl gun that was present in the current other m samus in the vault. looks better in game because of the shine effects, way better. these are pics using pic converter and wii. still need to add glow effects to the lights
I don't think she's suppose to be that transparent
the head model isn't transparent the visor is, and if that's what you were talking about then yes i still have to work on the visor. it is too transparent. i was able to get it transparent and it was kind of late so i posted what i had and went to sleep.
