WIP Workshop

I'm loving how much One Piece there is in this thread as of late. Brawl needed more One Piece.

Also, I'm not all that well-versed in model rigging, but I'm noticing all the character hacks have some screwed up arms, particularly near the shoulders. Are the characters' shoulders just to narrow or is it something else?

bad rigging o-o

[Pik]

I dunno, can you link to some examples?

Also: Somebody needs to make a Spike Spegial hack.

I'm working on a Maskless version of Meta Knight's Brawl model...

WITH MOVING EYES & A MOVING MOUTH!

Look closely. The right eye moved between those two frames of animation, and the mouth changed shape.
Not the best way to show them moving, but it works.

Most of the remaining work involves Meta Knight's SRT0 animations. I'm altering all of them so that his mouth can change (also, Meta Knight's original eye animations look extremely awkward on this model.)

That's pretty impressive... I'd assume it will be Wifi safe yeah? Very nice indeed. I'll have to use this when it comes out. Embarrass Meta Knight a bit.

Plus, this seems like a pretty big step for characters with only one expression, and other Meta Knight hacks.

Depending on the character, some have special sleeve bones (like Ike) which are hard to work with.
But yeah, usually it's bad rigging.

I agree with this so much. Was there ever a Cowboy Beebop game to take models from though?

You know... Come to think of it, I think there was a PS2 game for Cowboy Bebop.

Though it would likely need touch ups.

[Pik]

Yeah, the model's kind of aged a bit. When I'm not doing anything, I'd be happy to make a new model~~~~~

But I'm doing stuff right now.

The model itself is completely Wi-fi safe.
I can't fully confirm whether the SRT0 animations are wi-fi safe, but they seem to be working fine thus far (a few hours ago, I played matches while using a few altered SRT0 animations.)


Also, part of the fun in making this was the way I handled the eye and mouth textures.

The eye texture has both the left eye and a mirrored copy of it at a lower portion of the image. Same for the mouth (but with 3 layered "frames" instead of 2.)

When I want to change which mouth shows, all I do is shift the UV's y-axis up or down (via keyframe manipulation) to show the mouth image I want to use for any specific frames.

Logically, I can use that same method with the eyes to do this:

Sad Maskless Meta Knight is adorable. You cannot deny it.

I can't wait to see that finished!

[Pik]

Wow, that's pretty epic. Nice job figuring this stuff out, haha...

Hey, aren't you from tSR??

O'Chunks

Looks like he'll be on DK. Is that right?
