the socks are an important part of luigi's design in mario&luigi games

[JBG]

lol someones ability to model isnt based on whether or not u can move the vertices and crap around its really dependent on your ability to draw and well knowing how to properly model somthing properly. when modeling characters and organic shapes ull want to model using planes and extruding the edges until u have the right shape. this why youll need to know how to draw because youll need to know perspective,porportion, and anatomy. starting off with characters isnt probably the best way to learn how to model as u might want to start off with simple objects and things of that nature(and not use 3dsmax) but this is a brawl mod so i guess it dosent really matter but if u really wanna model somthing i suggest maya since theres less crap ud have to work with(modifiers etc.) i see alot of people here model using cubes and spheres(i used to do the same) which leads to some weird looking stufff but extruding planes is the way to go. plus ur file size wont be huge if u do it that way.

also models will never look like a drawing thats just a fact. it can resemble it but itll never look exact

FALSE. While a knowledge of drawing can certainly be helpful in the process of model making, they are two completely separate fields of expertise, and your skill in one can hardly be defined by the other.

I myself am a case in point. Two years through a college art program plus two years of prior experience gives me a solid understanding of anatomy, perspective, and proportion. And I would like to call myself at least a decent artist. Yet, in my eight or so attempts to make a model, I've always come up short. And while the two fields share common topics that could be helpful to the other, as I said, the skill level in them hardly co-relates.

pfft I haven't studied [censored] and I can draw and model well.

c'mon step it up you guys, get on mah game
I'm just kidding. The first line is true though. :L

[StupidMarioFan1]

Actually I started making a M&L version of the Bros a while back, before vertex editing was in BB. Note he wasn't finished.

Bigger belly because he's rounder, mouth is less noticeable, and then texture changes. I did sorta forget about him though. I did plan on making the socks since he was already a 3ds Max scene because that's the only way I got vertexing to work before BJ added it to BrawlBox. He was more based on the sprites than artwork, but was still going to have the artwork tied into it with things like the socks.

But BJ is a prodigy.

Completely new helmet model.

[BBreon]

Good job, can't wait, I prefer your megaman than GBC's ugly one 

Hehe joke, but good attempt, for your first model

[Spex130]

Completely new helmet model.

So that's pretty good for a first model.

If you want some good practice though, try to do what you just did but start with mostly Geospheres instead of squares. It's good practice.

If you want to jump directly into hard mode just build from scratch using extruding. But that's a big jump. Just try the geospheres for now.

or i can just subdivide smooth twice on a square to get this:

anyways, new head:

just tell me when i'm done.

[Carnage]

i know you atr trying optimus kirby but that megaman looks like it was sent trough a  blender and steped on multiple times lol

[Sir Kirby the 4th]

is it the eyes?
i made them shorter.
(also, blender is the program i am using, so yes, you are mostly right)
can you also tell me whats wrong so i can fix it. people who are making things usually can't tell. i know from experience. (with other things)

[Segtendo]

Optimus. Do you have plans what to do with that model?

[Carnage]

he looks like a minecraft version of megaman dkn if thats your intent but a square head is something i never saw before uness it was on minecraft but even for minecraft he looks abit to sharp especialy alongside the body parts and the head

[Sir Kirby the 4th]

Optimus. Do you have plans what to do with that model?

if i do, would you want me to do them?
because i do.

[Carnage]

if i do, would you want me to do them?
because i do.

call it minecraft megaman and it will pass as good xD
