WIP Workshop

They follow the camera... but I don't want to add SHP0 animations to every single animation... too much time.

It looks fine how it is.

You could try adding an SRT0 directly in the same BRRES as the main model.
I don't know if it would work (probably won't) but it's worth a shot.

I thought of that, but I wasn't sure if it'll work.

I'll try that out.

[StupidMarioFan1]

What do you guys think?

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

I'm not exactly sure if I should change anything else because really the only think that is bothering me is that the color is just normalized instead of moving in animations, which would require adding texture movement for every animation which I don't think anyone wants to mess with so they can just easily use this with any Bowser animations without having to edit the FitKoopaMotion.pac, plus it'd make it a bit tiresome for us Dolphin users who want to use Dreamy Bowser in Project: M. O_O

I tried with Dreamy Bowser to get the colors moving on their own and it didn't work. :-\

Thought I would post this before I go to bed.

Haven't played Spirit Tracks in ages, but a 5 second Google image search points to this:

Personally, I think it needs the white "outlines", which you could treat as a rim glow type effect rather than the cartoony sense.

As for the colors, you could either put them as an environtment map, or as a projection type effect (a la the stage platform in Port Town Aero Dive). The projection effect would probably look truer to the end result, but that would put his coloring at the mercy of his position on-screen.

Ah alright then. I wasn't too sure if there were any other shields or anything since I never played spirit tracks.

I decided to try my hand at texturing again. I made him a little more colorful/brighter along with some minor UV and model edits.
Here is a before and after

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Better? Maybe some opinions?

[Iwvi]

Looks a lot better. You have no idea how much the shadow for a nonexistent skirt was bothering me. Really like it so far.

[nanobuds]

Looks reallllly nice so far!

Almost reminds me of the final koopa from super Mario 64.

Almost reminds me of the final koopa from super Mario 64.

That's why I wanted to get the colors to move or to just change periodically so people wouldn't mistake him for SM64 Final Bowser, I mean it already is different without the dream stones on him since the colors revolve around the camera when you turn & parts of Dreamy Bowser are much darker and Bowser's colors didn't do that in SM64 (though limitations might be a factor for them not moving), but also Final Bowser still had his main colors, it was like he was hit with paint buckets or something, whereas here it's full and drastic coloring.

Personally, I think it needs the white "outlines", which you could treat as a rim glow type effect rather than the cartoony sense.

That won't work because I originally used the StoneDreamEnv that you included with the Dream Stone, and most of Bowser's body is in polygon 0, so the shine stretches at some parts, most notably the shell. Why couldn't they had split him up like Giga Bowser, he has like 6 or 7 polygons that are just part of his hair. :notimp:

[BlueBrain]

you could always separate him yourself...

[StupidMarioFan1]

Well it's not only that but also the low number of vertices on his shell helps it not look that great, and I have no idea how to add vertices to an object, nor intend to avoid pointless lag. :/
Also don't get what I want when using the projection setting. o_O I'd post pictures but I'm not even sure if my internet will let me post this. :rageface:

[DemonBoy]

Just finished the final model edits. Now I just gotta finish the rig.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Should hopefully be out sometime tonight or tomorrow

I will try that in my next BRS, sounds interesting
