Fonon Project - Model Imports [Current - ?]

[Hubert Oswell]

@ramonM64: Seeing that you are rigging Luke's model, I won't work on psa or animations until it is done. This is because some things may turn out to be unnatural.

As for Genis: I just hope the rigging technique keeps his bone structure. That way, I can port in a lot of animations.

As much as I like to make a tales mage psa, I think we should focus on Luke first.
This is just my opinion. You can work on Genis instead if you want to.

[ramonM64]

anyway i looked at the full list and here are the ones i would want:

Asch / Tales of the Abyss(but you already sai you are going to do)
Yuri Lowell / Tales of Vesperia
Shing Meteoryte / Tales of Hearts
Caius Qualls / Tales of the Tempest
Ruca Milda / Tales of Innocence
Senel Coolidge / Tales of Legendia
Kratos Aurion / Tales of Symphonia
Cress Alvein / Tales of Phantasia

the one i really wanna do is Caius. i never played the game but thought he looked kool.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

yea i been cleaning it up alot. lukes proportions look alot better and now its actualy aligned to link's bones. i also added in the vertex's sword in, he had no sword before.

by porting animations do ya mean you got some animations from symphonia? right now hes nearly perfectly over lucas's bones, that one bone you see stickin out of the head (as you can see in the picture) is lucas's hair spike bone. by the way, vertex points can follow bones WITHOUT having to actualy being over them so i can make his hair follow that bone. ALL my rigs i make sure to not move the bone set at all, so animation wont be warped with the default character.

i might end up putting Luke on hold, the OTHER dude that was gonna help get the PS2 models is back. i gotta go to work right now but later tonight ill finish cleaning up luke and see what he reports back to me, if he can get the model i might as well rig genis since hes ready to be rigged while he gets the PS2 model

Caius is rather unfortunate, I liked the character but the game he was from is the worst Tales of Game there is :/

[Hubert Oswell]

@ramonM64: The genis model you have isn't from symphonia 2? If that's the case, I don't have any animations for him.

@Miku Hatsune: Caius isn't unfortunate at all. Tales of the tempest is a masterpiece.

thats what i always hear about that game.. id still want to try it mostly cuz of Caius.


scope its the symphonia 2 model. i got it from the model resources site. i took it and editig it though to look and be sized from symphonia 1. i didnt like how the symphonia 1 characters looked in symphonia 2.. at all. colette was probaly the only one i SIGHTLY tolerated. Lloyd and his new dammm boots.. in S2 they looked like high heeled boots.. and ill stop there.

the resizing though goes perfectly over lucas, im guessing since hes small now the symphonia 2 animations will look weird..   ya never know. try importing some animations to lucas in brawbox and see.

about the PS2 luke, the dude was successful in getting a model from it except it wasnt luke. hes gonna try to find which ones they are. i guess this one was just a experiment though since lookin at the file name one would guess what it was hahas

im pretty sure Luke related files got the "Luk" abbreviated in their file names, since i see other files with the first 3 letters in their names of the other main characters too.

edit: i edited this.. and the 1st post. i put screens of the old luke model and then the edited one. still need to fix up the textures somewhen. besides the eyes, i havent edited it. he definitely needs BLACK pants. after that i tryed to smooth it out the best i could and fix some problems with the first, like the knees, proportions, and hair. besides moving it, i also edited the bangs on the front of his hair.. it took a long time to figure out HOW. i mostly left it alone with no smoothing since i thought it looked ALOT better sharp like that.

alright so im gonna start riggin it right now or maybe sleep. all i know is its ready to rig

[Vitinho]

hey uhmm one idea came to me and i was thinking and if we made a team to make the Tales of Vs Project?Where we import like ALMOST every character and we could make a team:
ramonM64 could be the leader of the team and the importer/vertexer i could be the texturer/animator and others that are helping here could enter the team as well but we will need a bigger team because if we are going to do this its going to be huge!So what do you think about it?

[Hubert Oswell]

Tempesttime and I are already doing a tales of vs project. Right now, we just have Lloyd (a tos2 model)

Tempesttime has a model from Ruca, but it's probably not finished.

Do any of you have Skype?

[ramonM64]

that would be kool. if we made up somekind of brawl hacking team id vote to name it somethin as simple as Blue. there would be alot of reasons why id name it that but yawp, thats the name i would want. i dont want to focus on solely tales stuff by the way.

Ruca is another character design i liked from a game i never played. hope ya guys get it imported successfully

i dont got Skype. i do have windowsLive messenger except i havent logged in for awhile..


at work all i keep thinkin of is rigging models to brawl..   x__x      im jumpn back to work after getting out of work to finish up Luke's rigg. i could have it done tonight if i dont get distracted.

[Vitinho]

so this mean you are getting luke done by tonigh?just asking 

[xxmasal22xx]

Wait wait wait, this is my project guys! Hold up! I only needed a model of him rigged, me and a buddy of mine were gonna learn psa together then do animations and psa ourselves D:

ramonM64, i am sorry, but i ask that you stop moving forward with this publicly, as this was something we had planned for a while, but needed a model for luke. I know you are all probably heartbroken about this, but please, i will make a wait worth your while, and as for credit, ramon, you will be collabed in the releases.

Thanx for your time.

@xxmasal22xx: Is it OK if I work on Luke on my own? SqLeon, Tempesttime, and I have been working on Project Tales and I plan to have a codeset for it. In other words, your Luke PSA may not be compatible with the codeset.

@ramonM64: Once you rigged the model, can you send a copy of it to me?

[Vitinho]

hey masal i (kinda)agree with you if you were going to do that then we should stop i agree with you really but this is for the leader of the project to deside not me and, why didnt you said this earlier so we could stop this earlier and didnt had to make this much effort to get what we got?if you said earlier we werent going to be tired of days that we expend doing something so this is kinda your fault too but, like i said before i kinda agree with you but you just said that now so this may make some of us(not me really i am ok i'm just saying this for anyone else) angry or sad got it?

[ramonM64]

sorry guys.. i closed my eyes for a second last night and fell asleep on my laptop so its not COMEPLTLY done, it is release-able though. i played with it for a bit before work in the morning and.. i am VERY.. happy with how the rig and shaders and what-not turned out.

what do ya mean by codeset? i dont know much about PSA'in or codes besides editing the .GCT brawl code.

what the.. im surprised your sayin this now (ive talked to ya before and you posted on the 2nd page i think). i posted a moveset from the start and everything, one would assume we had plans to go further. i think thats completely fine if you wanna make a moveset though. id want to make one too though after i learn to PSA, right now i know -14 about PSA'in.

i dont know what to say though.. i guess go ahead and make a moveset, im not gonna stop the import though.

as for the model, im a few hours behind work on it.. there are some vertices that need better weighing, only near the hip. its not noticable unless you pause and ZOOM in but i still want it fixed. i want to release the short hair with it too so its not comming till probaly LATE tonight if im lucky or in da morning tomorrow. i wont release it till i think its ready to see the light.


edit: i reread yer post xxmasal22xx and i got a lil more confused.. who where you refering to with "we had this planned" and what did you mean by "stop moving forward with this publicly"? so confused..

[Hubert Oswell]

@ramonM64: I mean the GCT file. However, since I have no knowledge on ASM coding, I'm currently trying to edit fighter.pac

[Vitinho]

sorry guys.. i closed my eyes for a second last night and fell asleep on my laptop so its not COMEPLTLY done, it is release-able though. i played with it for a bit before work in the morning and.. i am VERY.. happy with how the rig and shaders and what-not turned out.

so will you realease it today  ?Anyway when you release it i will make some recolors for it ok?

i dont know what to say though.. i guess go ahead and make a moveset, im not gonna stop the import though.

yeah i wont gonna stop helping either we worked so har on it!
