Batman!?

NOPE it is not Batman, but rather a HUGE fan of Nintendo games, especially retro games. LJSTAR did the head, and I did the rest of the body. Now WHO is it?

[Large Leader]

For dat Proto', I would suggest to use maybe few part from a model that isn't as high-poly, my idea would be to use the model from the port of MMBN5 on NDS, but when I tried to rip it, most of it had vertex deformation... (Body, head, hair), but I dunno, maybe you'd be interested in the model ?

Sure, why not?

About that protoman, when looked at from the front, his head looks rather odd. I'm not sure if it is the shape or the thin neck, but something is not right with his head. Other than that it looks good. Also, manually optimizing can get really good results. If time is an issue, carefully using the pro-optimizer can be good. Try optimizing different parts separately.

I didn't make the model :P

Armored Lucario? I actually don't know why no one thought to do that.

[Large Leader]

So I found a much lower poly model and I started to fuse both the high poly model and the low poly model together. Along with vertex welds, I go this:

I'm not going to lie, it would probably be better to make Protoman.EXE from scratch.

[Large Leader]

I don't doubt that it'd be better, but I have no experience in modelling nor do I have the time. Importing is more than enough for me, for now

[Kyouma]

Why do people think that making a model from scratch is easier than rigging an already made model?

[KAZECoyote]

So I edited Naruto's Revolution model, re-mapped the uvs, and painted a new texture on it to try to match brawl.

[Chaos_Knight]

The armor looks pretty good on him!

[TokoyamiTheDark]

Quite a good Naruto import. I don't know anything about UV mapping, though.

And that Lucario's armor sounds...familiar, but I do not know why...

When did I say anything about it being easier? .__. Pretty certain I was implying no such thing.
I was saying the model would overall be better if it was redone from scratch.

For one thing, Protoman's head is far too wide, and looks flippin' weird as a result. His torso as is, is too thick in the middle. His upper torso is poorly shaped and ill-defined, and so is the horn on his helmet. His gauntlet / glove on top of that is also poorly, and incorrectly shaped, and before Tidus borrowed the boots from the lower poly model from the BN5 DS port, his boots were also incorrectly shaped and ill-defined.

Whoever did make the model originally, did a pretty poor job on accurately recreating him.

@Kaze: Sweet, nicely done there man.
