So I'm at home now. I may be streaming my Cloud rig, or finishing Bigs. Or I may not even work on mods today. I dunno.

I'll be sure to watch that stream if you feel like doing that today.

God damn Link looks sick, and just in time too, I just bought both Zelda Oracle games today.

Yeah I've noticed there really aren't many good tutorials on modeling/texturing around these days.

While the likes of BJ and Spex do custom models, I myself mostly use a method known as mesh modding, which is using different parts of models to make one better or completely different model.

A good example of this would be the Cloud model I'm updating


And to unify the different parts I just put them under one big, nice looking texture.

I guess I should have outlined a character model I'm working on that doesn't have a 3D model, but I think using a finished product to show off how one can make 3D models from mesh mods is better over all.

I could make a diagram of my current model once I'm done I suppose.

Which Skeith. Haseo's or the original?

Anyway

Personally I prefer the original design of him.
Kite and Black rose look badass though.

He's probably going on Marth or Ike, though, I'm kinda tempted to try for making him on Toon Link as I feel his animations would fit the best with Donnel, I just gotta figure out bone edits/size mods before I attempt Toon though.

Sent off to Nano, hopefully everything goes well on his front.

Edit


New model I'm working on, Donnel from Fire Emblem awakening. I really dig his design as he looks so dumb next to all the other warriors and soldiers of the Fire Emblem universe, so I thought he might be an awesome model to make. Almost done with it, just need to finish his face, texture and belt.

Been posting this in the Fire Emblem thread, but thought I mighty as well post Donnie boy here too.

Mother[censored]ing donnel is almost done, just gotta do his face model, and finish his texture.

Surprised at how well this is going...

Gotta love the .Hack representation!

Now all we need is Skeith and I'll be set for .hack characters.

I can see nothing! For real, it says "image not available"

But I be looking forward to Donnel!

Should be fixed now, I think...

It's time for the most bad ass mutha[censored]er to join the fire emblem cast, plowing those fields, and dat sweet dragon [censored].

Early preview of Donnel from FE Awakening I'm working on, still needs a bit of work, though it's a start.

Cloud's model is finished to my liking, now it's up to Nano to rig this beast.

im skyping with dot right now teaching him how to model ragna lol

and yea im making him based on his artwork

Good luck to him, modeling can be quite the [censored], especially when doing heads.

Link looks pretty hype, I'm hoping you make it like his artwork, as opposed to making him look like link to the past 2 style...

Also are you planning on after Link going back to things like Ragna?

lol buff cloud.. maybe make his arms less...buff because i know one of the main things with cloud in the games is that he physically shouldnt be able to pick up the sword irl but in the game he can so make the arms less buff

Good call, I hadn't even noticed how much bigger they are, I'll fix that right away.
