Aafyre's Vertex and Texture thread (08/27) Desukan Preview

[SmashClash]

Oooooh, so it is possible. Fancy that. I don't know what you'd use to make his bangs flow, but if you can't get anything to work, I think they are perfectly acceptable as is. I've been having a lot of trouble texturing lately, so I've been slacking a bit. I can't get the whole baking thing to work, and I'm having trouble getting non-brawl models to open in 3dsmax as well, which would be very helpful for vertexing Sephiroth's face. I could still try to revamp him without using his Dissidia model. It just wouldn't be quite as accurate. On a side note, when I near the final stages of Tidus, could anyone here attach his cape to his sword handle for me? It's very minor, but since I'm not using his cape for anything else, I thought I could try to somehow represent that red cloth thing that hangs from his sword. As for the PSA stuff, since I'm in other brother mode right now, I'll just say Boba Fett. If SDoom makes his own  decision before reading this, that's perfectly fine as well.

I might be able to attach his cape to his sword handle. ;)

[Aafyre]

Well well,  I'll keep that in mind. Thank you sir. It's not really a big deal if you can't, I just think it could be a nice little touch.

[Segtendo]

That reminds me.

Since Beyond's tutorial on nulling normals is out, you should fix some of the Bowser hacks you made that have them.

[Pik]

You know what would make vertexing easier for EVERYONE, and a lot faster?

BY explaining all the things he learned from MarioKart64's tutorial. :srs:

In a video, in detail.

Seriously, nobody could really understand MarioKart's tutorial, since he understood so much of it and learned so much from it, why doesn't he share it by putting it in plain English for everyone to read.

I know this is ~2 pages back, but dude

just watch the videos in order and pay attention. He actually goes through the processes and explains concepts. I thought the videos were done well, and was surprised that no one took advantage of these.

I agree with pik on this one.
Those videos are pretty helpful, I learned everything I know about vertexing from them.
Besides, last I knew beyond does not conform his vertexs like Mariokart did, he just looks at a model to get it exactly perfect. So he really would not be explaining anything that mariokart already said. The only thing beyond really does that mariokart did was texture baking which only works if your model is almost exact.

Are you sure Beyond doesn't conform?

[Ninka_kiwi]

Last I knew he didn't...
I'm pretty sure he just does it all by eye.
Then he lines up the models and fixes it to be almost exact without the use of conform wrap.

Anyway sorry for the off topic aafyre...
How's Tidus going by the way? I remember seeing the model pretty much finished but the textures wernt started.

Actually, I did...and I barely understood him cause half the time, the guy, as far as I could tell, was mumbling.

Then pump up the volume XD

Boba Fett it is then ^^  I'll get to work adding the moveset to the OP of my topic at some point.  It will be a mixture of your moveset with a couple of my own ideas.

[ItalianStallion]

Boba Fett sounds good. Imma have to do some research on this guy, educate myself, cause most likely I'll be getting it. ;)

[Carnage]

well since the moveset is over snake  and bobba feet too i guess we will be able to use the stromtrooper too xD

[_Data_Drain_]

You know, Aaf... With Sephiroth, I don't think you would need his Dissidia model anyway, since the face is low res... Just look at images, and videos of him from AC, and CC, I think that would be a good way to get him looking on par with BY's Cloud, and differ from Marth greatly.

Scroll down a good bit, there are a few images from CC, and AC. Those might help out a bit. :P
Just don't forget the smirk this time. XD

Also... Boba Fett sounds good to me, since Snake... Uh... Does he have a balanced PSA at all? Plus he could be interesting playstyle wise.

[Mansta8]

If your not doing Frog, I am >:)

You don't know who Boba Fett is? I think I need to go lie down.

[Albafika]

You don't know who Boba Fett is? I think I need to go lie down.

You shouldn't be surprised, he's just appeared in 2 movies, and his roll isn't major.
