Brawl imports : Sprite Characters (Concept)

[Roo]

I was thinking of the recent advancements in Brawl hacking and it hit me. "Is it possible to make sprite characters? After brainstorming for a bit, the answer turns out to be yes, but only after the MDL0 converter is finished. Here's how. (Warning, big Pic ahead!!)



It's quite possible i'm COMEPETELY wrong with this process, but I dont see how. Let me know if you see some sort of flaw.

They have to be mdl0 and I think they aren't

[Roo]

How about actually reading the whole process before commenting. It says it would require the MDL0 converter.

omg a 8 bit mario joins SSBB

omg a 8 bit mario joins SSBB

This is what I want.
Same with Paper Mario.
Also, for that Sonic I could use it for my Nostalgia Sonic PSA(In progress)

I think sprites may just not fit into Wii's memory. Nonetheless, interesting idea and if it worked somehow, beautiful things would happen.

[ForOhFor Error]

Yeah, this would be great.
Imagine, super smash bros in 8 bit graphics XD

The sprites are textures, which can easily be loaded into through the wii's memory.

it's good for a basic concept I guess...
(for what tools we currently have)

once I crack the Material-Shaders and TEV's,
you can expect to see sprite animations >D

a close example would be:
look at Pika's eyes...
a script controls which texture to display on the face of the object

so yea...
PW's working on an script editor though >_>
I was planning on it, but he's way over me...

The problems is that if you want to have well animated sprites, you'll need LOTS of textures.

Thats true of super advanced sprites from more recent games, but this will be simple for early games like Mario Bros. Ect.

Aww frig, double post but whatever.

Tech my method is a WHOLE lot simpler than what I believe your describing. My method involves direct model animation, while yours would include countless hours of script editing just for a polygon to show a particular texture for each animation.

Yeah, but you could probably just make them 8 by 8....

SSBB = for sure now the new Mugen with soon more char. slots+more stages slots+.dae importer+this now

[DarkPikachu]

not countless hours :P

try more like 10 minutes to write the scripts (for someone like mario)
^4 minutes with a template
(which of course I will provide because I'm one of the most helpful people on this furom) :af2:

all you really need for the animations are a few lists ;)
^well, for blender anyways

I did manage to get Pika's eyes working as they should...
(through a modded version of the animation method I talked about below)

but that was a different Pika for testing the method :P
blah...
