Interested Good luck with this!
Luke is awesome

[Vitinho]

yeah i think it too in fact today i start to play(again) Tales of Abyss and man i forgot how i love this game  anyway i will take a look at the new air attacks

[ramonM64]

i know some were expecting the model on monday but its just not quite ready yet. it is being worked on constantly so dont worry, it will get done probaly later this week. i dont want to release it in a rush.

to have it up faster though, i will publish it with the textures incomplete. i was thinking this is a good way to see which one of us can get the textures more identical to luke. ill try to combine the best textures and then publish another V over it. ( im pretty sure i can do that here)


P.S. i wanted to use the 2nd post (already used by someone ele) to make a synopsis (a kind of log) of all the little things im doing and noticing as im working on the model. is it possible for a forum admin to push posts back to give me the 2nd post for this thread?

[Vitinho]

its ok man you dont need to rush anyway i had a question you are making luke with small or large hair?

[ramonM64]

actualy im planning to make EVERY costume from the titles in the game. right now its the long hair version, after its been uploaded and everything im gonna make the short hair version.. its hard to choose which one i like more but yea, i thought i should make the default first. the short hair will be easy, ill just have to redo the hair and everything else will be set.

Progress Report: successfully removed the shield from both the hand and back. gonna work on aligning the sword to go in the sword sheath, sideways and then a re-touch up on the hair, pants and belts and.. it should be ready to be textured

Is there anything that you want to go with Luke? (Stage, song, etc.)

[Vitinho]

well that wouldn't be bad and now that you talked about it i have a few ideas for stages
Baticul:
Daath(in front of the cathedral):
Yulia City:
and Passage Rings:

that are my stage's ideas anyway i will make some CSPs for luke you said it was ALL costumes right?

[ramonM64]

Is there anything that you want to go with Luke? (Stage, song, etc.)

hmm.. dont really need songs, i already found some good songs here

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=245410

so i dont think we would need songs, i WOULD want to make him his own stage and all. i dont know ANYTHING about stage making right now and im not gonna read guides or anything right now cuz i needa focus on the character model. on that note, this whole morning i got distracted reading ways to convert .DAE and .OBJ to MLD0, if it was possible there is a site with soOOOoo many ripped models. so i got a mind overload cuz i wanted to rigg that sora high poly from KH1 but.. i NEED to finish what i started here first.


To Vitinho: some of those would be niice stages. i dont really like flat levels with nowhere to fall. i like final destination though! just not stages where you only die from the side and theres a WHOLE ground, like Mr game and watch's level..

it would be awesome fighting it out on baticul's center bridge and small bridge next to it. you could get knocked out from the two sides and jump on the bridge pole things for extra ground and if it was possible make that trolly elevator thing on the left rise and fall periodically. maybe for fun make a stage at the daath cathedral stairway. make it side ways though so you can jump and go up the stairs. make it a "battle damaged" stage and and the bottom of the staircase its broken and you fall. so it will be like a king of the hill stage fight over the control of the cathedral's front door    lol

the passage rings or yulia city areas could be a circle final destination-like stage with at LEAST two go-throughable platforms somewhere on them.. it will give depth to fight on.

the character select picture i want to use is the one in the 1st post, i like it alot. and the battle portraits for the long hair and short hair versions are gonna be the in-game from the actual games, too bad they wont animate as you attack or are attacked. im PLANNING to make every costume but i probaly wont right away. after at least the 2 defaults are done ill have to focus on the moveset. its alot to tackle on my own  lol

by the way since i dont think its possible to get the 2nd post back im gonna do a "progress report" section in the 1st post for those that want to know exactly what part im workin on. also, how do i do that one "show spoilers" button so i dont make the first post too huuUUUge cuz of it?

EDIT: nevermind, i found it. [its not that huge lol]

[Vitinho]

ok then anyway if you need a video of the costume(i dont think you need it but i will post anyway) here it is

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgZX-St_M44" target="_blank" class="aeva_link bbc_link new_win">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgZX-St_M44</a>

and for the poses(i will give two options) i was thinking like:
this for long hair:

this for small hair:

so wich one do you think its better?

[ramonM64]

actually wow niice       i didnt have anything for alternative costumes, i was gonna google reference pictures somewhen but not anymore.. its all in one place with that video!

i like the 1st pose for the long hair version and the 2nd pose for the short hair version. i liked the shading in the 1st long hair post though, i think you edited it? its NOT bad, it actualy has a niice watercolorly look (maybe you could texture that on the model for a extra costume). the only thing is luke looks more realistic than that so id perfer a shading like from the abyss game for the default costume. also, i think it may be possible to use peach's final smash anime banner thing from her final smash for Luke's special. we might be able to use his cut-in from the abyss game
we'll just have to find a way to make it cut across instead on the sides, for a split second.

Seeing as how i requested this, may i please be the texturer/cps maker?  Also, send me some screenshots of progress through pm please. Thanx dude, and ill do recolors too

[ramonM64]

just to make it clear, im not making this from any request. i was planning on makin this after gamecube Lloyd but decided to go with this guy first since i was having problems patching vertexes with young link. probaly cuz i didnt know how to properly patch back then.
(not tryin to sound like a [censored], just wanted to clear that up)

anyway uh, i thought maybe a few texture volunteers could take a shot at the model when its up. i only textured the pants and hair, i stopped to focus on vertexing. the hair color is off but yawwwp.. before anything gets finalized, like textures, i have to do a quality check. v0.02 will have the textures, of course credit will be thrown where its due.

P.S. im surprised that word up there is censored u_O

[Vitinho]

i wanna try to make the texture too can i please?nd the model how is it?can you give us a preview?

[Yosh1Kart]

Welcome,


oh i hope to see this hack done,
IT'S AMAZING!

if you need a little help with textures i'd be more than happy to

[ramonM64]

the model CAN be published but im not sure if i should already. the main issues im having is removing and shrinking the two bags on his butt, one is NEARLY gone while i havent started on the other and i dont know how to tilt the sword on his back. so when hes using his bow, or something that makes him sheath his sword, the sword handle is seen verticaly on his back in-game. basicaly.. when i try to go vertex it the back-sword handle moves over the main sword handle instead of floating near his back for some reason. when i vertexed the sword it automacticaly vertexed the back sword handle which is good and saved time but yea.. i dont know what to do with it. its not a HUGE problem right now its just weird seeing it there during some of link moves. ive noticed link is too heavy.. i cant wait to start on the PSA, moveset, and animations.

anywho, you two and any others in here can get a shot, i dont mind. the thing is, its gonna have to pass my seal of approval so it has to be good. if someones X looks better than X than the 2nd X goes in, it'll be finalized with all the best of our textures. yea.. i hope you know how to make abs, cuz yer gonna need to draw out six here lol
