*MeleeMaster500's Textures* DMCA claims by nintendo on mediafire

[MeleeMaster500]

Could you make Raiden's outfit over ZSS? Like just the outfit but on ZSS without the hood and hat?

If by "Raiden's outfit" you mean the Galactic Federation uniform from Metroid: Other M worn by Anthony Higgs and others, and not the bio-enhanced suit that the character Raiden wears in Metal Gear Solid 4 and Rising, then no, I will not put it on Zero Suit Samus.

(I hope so much that people didn't mistake the horrible Samus version to be Raiden)

If you mean "Raiden's Outfit" as in the Mortal Combat Raiden's outfit I'm putting over Jigglypuff and is therefore entirely not detailed, then also no.

My Anthony Higgs based textures (including all the alternate GF uniforms) had their downloads taken down from mediafire without my knowledge. After I noticed that these files were removed, I asked mediafire why they were removed. Their response was that the "copyright holders" of these items requested for their removal. While I am entirely willing to respect the requests of the true copyright holders to my items, there seems something odd about this situation.

1. if the "copyright holders" in question are those responsible for brawl's models and data, why didn't they ask for my other downloads to be removed? Seeing as it was only the Metroid: Other M textures removed, it is safe to say that this is not the case.

2. I find it hard to believe that obscure characters portrayed as a texture on a character in a somewhat obscure community would be targeted by the likely japanese copyright holders as something to be removed, this sounds more like the work of an impostor who already was part of this community or knew of my work previously. Especially since the only links to the files are located within this community itself or on an obscure post on gamefaqs.

3. This action doesn't seem appropriate or realistic. Nintendo isn't known for taking action against stolen work or infringed copyrights. Also, the copyright holders would likely know that this character was not only created before it was possible for me to obtain textures from the game and that the likeness of a character without the intent of or actual gain of profit from said use is protected by free use.

That said, if the true copyright holder(s) wishes for the removal of my textures with the likenesses of the characters from Metroid: Other M, please let me know either here or through email, located in my profile.

For now, given the suspicious nature of the removals and the harmless action of maintaining the downloads, I reuploaded them somewhere else.

No no no lol I just meant his actual clothes(The design of the outfit, not a "raiden" texture) made for ZSS to wear ^_^;; without the hood, and the straw hat.

Well time to start working on something new. What's that? "Finish what you've already said you would?" Preposterous. I'll just start on new projects and never getting around to actually finishing them, then return and finish something completely random.

Anyways, I think I might be able survive the vertex editing methods available without killing myself. So you might eventually see:

Manfred Von Karma
first texture work: http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/oo10/meleemaster500/karma.png

or
Banjo-mar

terribly sorry, but in my own personal opinion: *cringe*

[MeleeMaster500]

A. that's my line
B. Pictured are projects approximately 9% done, and in no way a reflection on a final product. Especially texture work.

i wasnt talking about the 2 above my comment.

How are these cringe-worthy at all? Manfred's body is nicely detailed, just that the contrast doesn't seem too great. The face is coming along nice too.

Banjo-mar is funny looking in an awesome way.


Oh, since you're talking about his hacks in general, your opinion sucks: for example, that Guile kicks some major ass.

[MeleeMaster500]

Manfred's not vertexed yet, I just started the texture over mariokart64n's melee ganondorf body combined with akari un's marcus phoenix's head. I plan on editing ganon's body eventually, to make him wear a suit. whether I start with mariokart's as a base or not, I don't know for sure, but i'll probably just use akari's head models.

@ shadowsnake, allow me to critique your hacks then. They have all comprise one or more of the following traits:

Recolors
Faces
combos of others' work re released for yourself
extremely stretched textures (my personal favorite)
Horribly mapped/seamed textures
heavily-tiled repeated textures
or vertex edits that consist of nothing but 5 vertices pulled in one direction or another

see, my one word response might not have been as helpful for your improvement, but it at least tried to hold in some of the truth you might not have wanted to hear.

now, maybe you should stop critiquing previews of my upcoming work and go back to making popularly-named 2 cent textures for the "highly respectable" Kitty Corp Meow Mix team.

go to hell you phucking [censored], and grow some balls. i critized your work as payback for critizing mine and others with rude unneeded comments.  consider this payback and the last...

gawd never mind, i said that as payback for critizing my work and others. i really didnt mean your hacks are [censored], actually some of them look really good like guile and the black dude from metroid other m. i shud say sorry for that immature comment, but then again u  said the same thing so whatevah... sorry i got on u, but critic troll comments really piss me off. (no hard feelings?)

Whenever I comment on KCMM's blog posts, particularly on textures I feel are unfinished or in bad quality, I usually tend to avoid outright pointing out any problems which I feel the creator has with their work. My comments are simply meant to express my disapproval in said posts in a way that I don't attract attention to the faults my comments are based upon.

This is no reason to come to my thread of upcoming projects and insult my work because of a comment made almost a month and a half ago. Deal with your issues in your own posts or with me directly if you have a problem. You know full well that my work is never something to slander, so don't expect me to sugar-coat your skill when you start talking crap about mine.

ShadowSnake...Jesus Christ man get over it

I'm glad you realize what you posted was stupid, and normally you're a real cool guy, but critiquing someone's work for the sole reason of "getting back" is highly unnecessary and frankly childish. Also, if you want him to "grow some balls" and take harsh crits himself, you're one to be talking: you wouldn't be posting any of this if you weren't angry about something he posted over a month ago. You're better than that :\


but yeah. you realize this already so that's cool

ps: get on skype more

[MeleeMaster500]

I decided to just go ahead and start from scratch on the default model, considering mk64n's model wanst a good starting point for this and akari's head model had no expressions

Mostly done the vertexin, I still have to wrestle with the steps to get it out of 3ds though
