excellent! Zelda and Sheik are the only 2 playable LoZ characters in Brawl who don't have HW incarnations
yeah, I'll be updating HW Link and importing HW Ganondorf with the 3ds models for a lagless versions of each to go with HW Zelda/Sheik. But since an import exist for both it won't be soon. Will probably doing a mod a two before doing one and another two before doing the other.
I know this is an odd request but would it be possible to make a version of Zelda (HW default costume) that has one additional expression: default eyes and mouth open? To clarify, I plan to use her in my machinima series in which I employ lip synching but as I'm sure you're aware Zelda by default has no 'talk' expression unlike most characters. Her only expression with open mouth is her 'hurt' expression which sucks for normal dialogue. I know that it wouldn't appear ingame without animation edits but that's not an issue as I'm capturing all the lip synch footage directly from Brawlbox.
If that's too much of a hassle or you're already too far along with the mod then that's okay.
Either way, really hyped for the release. The Sheik previews are looking great already.
thanks!
I can just edit/merge the hurt and open mouth faces. I'll do it after I get the original release done.
Sheik Progress!
Sheik is finished and i will probably release her alongside Zelda. I had three people test Sheik on either Dolphin or Wii/Wii U and none of them experienced any problems, so release will Include:
- Expressions, working eyes, final smash eyes, specular materials, and metal materials - Lag free with four on screen - Wii U version's textures(1024x1024) - Hyrule Warriors Sheik's Hero of Time alt - Hyrule Warriors + (WIP) custom recolors
Thank you! That's definitely one hell of a weird though to have, haha.
He sed he give it to me, just gotta wait. He does a lot of stuff he he gets easily distracted and forget about stuff sometimes. It why i sed i might just ask him for a big zip/rar with all models.
it's both, brawl has little to no neck and warriors has giraffe neck
Sure, sounds good. I don't have access to my Wii right now but I should be able to test it on my Wii U (which I think is functionally the same as playing Brawl on a Wii).
That's cool, no need to pester him with requests. Would be nice to get it eventually but I don't need it right away.
alright cool. I may just ask him for a zip/rar with all models so i don't have to keep pestering.
I have some sheik Progress! Expressions work fine, will have moving & FS eyes, Warriors as well as some custom recolors, and I did a beta/quick rig. Mainly need to touch up the rig for the scarf/neck area for both models.
They should be fine at those counts, yeah. I'll do some stress-testing anyway once you release them just to be sure.
It's amazing that the 3DS models are obtainable after all. From your previews they don't really look any different from the Wii U models so the lowered poly counts make them a perfect fit for Brawl. Could you maybe ask for Impa as well? I rigged and imported her Wii U model but since I only have very basic 3D modeling knowledge my optimization to make her work ingame is shoddy at best. I'd rather start from scratch with the Legends model.
Alright, may give them to you pre-release so that you can test them and i can let people no.
I'll ask him for impa's model this weekend maybe, don't want to keep bothering him with too many model request. Do you need her model right away or do you think you could hold off for a little while?
I am hoping to have some sheik progress previews tomorrow morning, depends on if i wake up early and feel like getting up b4 having to get ready for work. Will be rigging her soon, just need to finish vertexing the neck area. Either Brawl sheik has no neck or HW sheik has too much neck.
From what I understand objects that aren't loaded (i.e. different faces) don't cause any lag so these models should be fine.
Really impressed that you managed to get the 3DS models. I was looking for those a while ago but from my research it seemed that no one was able to rip from HW legends.
I was surprised, a friend just showed them out of the blue in the discord server that I'm in. So i asked for them so that i could import lagless versions of Zelda, Sheik, Ganon, and Link(Update).
that's what i think too. Zelda has 7k of polys and Sheik has 6k of polys with just the default heads.
Here's some Hyrule Warriors Zelda and Sheik News/Progress
These are the models from the 3DS(Legends version) but with the high res textures from the Wii U version. They are lagless or at least they should be. Poly count started off similar to the brawl models and all i did was add expressions. Hopefully the expressions didn't push them over, looks like the HW devs left the heads unoptimized for rigging to the face bones. So duplicating them pushed the poly count up. Believe it shouldn't affect gameplay since they are hidden until needed, but if they do cause even a tiny bit of lag i can easily update the mods with optimized heads/expressions.
Warrior zelda
Ocarina of time warrior zelda
Twilight Princess warrior zelda
Skyward Sword warrior zelda
Was planning and tried to have both released last weekend but i ended up falling behind and they didn't make the release. The rigs are still beta and i will work on completing them throughout the week.
As for sheik, i just finished all of the model work. Will begin the rigging process and post previews late tomorrow to early Wednesday.
I will also be importing Hyrule Warriors Ganon and updating Hyrule Warriors Link and his costumes with the optimized 3DS(Legends) models so that we can have lagless versions of them too.
Well, that's a bit unfortunate. Good luck on getting it back up and running! yeah and tanks. I have a temp one to use in the meantime. so I will do all new mods until I get my charging problem figured out. then i'll go back to my old mods.
Unfortunate but thanks for the answer. Don't think those are fixable, the sword already looks like a jumbled mess of vertices in Noesis before I export it and the shield doesn't export at all.
Anyway, Zelda is coming along nicely. Really looking forward to using her default HW costume in my next short.
oh, dat sucks.
As for progress. unfortunately I am having laptop problems. I have to figure out why it no charge, so progress on all of my previously shown mods are on hold. However, i am currently borrowing another laptop so I will still do some mods. They will be all new mods because I don't feel like restarting any of them. After I figure out the problem with my laptop and fix it I will continue working on my other mods.
I am also think of dropping the releasing everything at once into a build idea and will probably just release mods as I finish them. Will probably retexture everything in a certain style, add some new stuff(costumes and menu stuff), and make a build out of everything.
Zelda looks really nice! SS Zelda in particular looks absolutely adorable as always, haha.
uhhhhh I dunno if it's good to ask this, but any estimate on BotW Link? I'm super excited to see it happen-- I love the champion tunic, haha.
Good luck on finishing Zelda up! maybe I could do a rapier-like moveset for her. I dunno.
lol, every seems to love that design the most.
BotW BotW Link or HW BotW Link? BotW BotW Link is for my build, will be released in a big pack. HW BotW Link i'll probably release after HW Sheik pack.
thanks, if you do decide to do it let me know and i'll rig her to mark and optimize the sword if needed.
Great job on the FD Link and I'm really looking forward to Zelda! Dolphin user as well so I can't say how well it works on Wii either.
I was wondering since you have access to the HW models, do you happen to have the Stalfos captain sword and shield? I made a Stalfos import but the weapon models for them were broken in the model rip I have.
Thanks!
Unfortunately, I don't have fixed weapons for Stalfos Captain. I had no plans to import him or any of his weapons so I never looked at or fixed any of his items. All model import broken if they use physics, some worse than others.
As for progress, unfortunately I didn't finish HW Zelda. I spent too much time on optimizing her default costume. As for how she affects gameplay. Right now she is similar to HW Link, lagless with 3. Since I have some more time i'll try and optimize her some more so that she'll be lagless or have very little lag with 4. hoping to have her done by this weekend. Here are some progress renders(Costumes & expressions)
well i may be strange, but i like style over detail, if that makes sense.
Don't have Twitter, but I'm going to say Zelda for that.
yeah, dat makes since.
The winner of the twitter and vault poll was the Hyrule Warriors Zelda Pack. I saw how the poll was going minutes after posting the poll on twitter so I went ahead and started Zelda. Atm all of her costumes are fixed(they import with broken/misplaced meshes). All that's left is to finish optimizing the default costume and finishing the last expression. After that I can rig and import them.
yeah, for naked link to happen most or all of his animations would need to be remade. I added the Quiver and slate because Link isn't too high poly.
I didn't think anyone would be interested in peach cuz of her more detailed sm4sh and brawl design.
Also i want to try and release another mod this weekend, if you have a twitter you can vote here: https://twitter.com/IWantGames_IWG/status/953157113731321856. If you don't have one you can post on the thread or vote in new poll. The Choices are Hyrule Warriors Sheik Pack, Hyrule Warriors Zelda Pack, and the HD Hyrule Warriors OoT Link.
I haven't posted any of my build progress in awhile so this will be a lengthy post. First up is more Breath of the Wild stuff.
Breath of the Wild Link.
Link will be receiving 3 alts; Wild, Hylian, and Fierce Deity. WIP recolors in spoilers. Wild will receive some edits due to how link arms work in brawl. I had to drop naked link and replace it with hylian armor for this reason.
Breath of the Wild Ganondorf.
I will be replacing the default outfit for Ganondorf, don't want the default and calamity alt to share the same armor so I will be changing it up. Don't have previews atm. I am also adding a costume for Ganondorf, BotW Phantom Ganon armor.
Odyssey Mario.
For My build the mario cast that were present in the game will have their Odyssey look. Right now I only have default Mario and an early preview of one of his alts(Diddy Kong Hat/Costume). I will be making quite a few alts, will post them as I finish them.
Odyssey Peach.
Probably the most unpopular of all the mods i've shown off so far but I am going with peach go-to design for the mainline Mario games. Haven't gotten around to making any of her alts yet.
If you have any issues or feedback to improve the mod feel free to leave them here. Especially Wii/Wii U users, it hasn't been tested on a Wii/Wii U just Dolphin. I wasn't able to lag test so I'm also concerned about that.
I will Update the pack again with another costume. Hyrule Warriors Breath of the Wild Link
I also have some new model previews from my build to show off, will get to that later this week.
I just want to say that all of your work is amazing and I was so happy to see that you're modding again! I am also a little confused as to which game these new mods (Breath of the Wild, Pokken...) will be going to, Brawl or Sm4sh? Sorry if you specified anywhere, but I looked through the thread and I couldn't find anything definite.
Thanks! My mods are for both brawl and sm4sh. I'm making a brawl build and a sm4sh build. Each one will have exclusive character/costumes bcuz not all characters are in both versions.
Woah, they all look fantastic, hehehe. I love the Mewtwos~
thanks, yeah. mewtwo has the most. might try to make shadow mewtwo a semi-clone. that or i'll try to give him his pokken moveset. if not then wut you see will fill all of his slots, lol.
