yeah i know... i've tried sooo hard to get that to show and its just not showing at all, even tho its showing a little bit... idek what to do, cause its using the same material and shader from my Gaur Plains grass/dirt model and it works well on that..

i dare ya try to replicate its lighting system Eh, I mean, I could try making something similar at least. Right now I'd be glad if I just could make the crystals brighter. Gotta experiment a bit more, I guess.

Someone could spend for me models of Rosalina and Zero Suit Samus and her textures? :/

Not sure if I should keep this up or just rig his entire Sm4sh model. Now, there are a few things I should note:
Sm4sh Bowser raw model: 19,974 faces
Sm4sh Bowser essentials: 15,728 faces
Brawl Bowser: 8,753 faces
Current Frankenstein: 12,278 faces
They were not optimize. Depending on your responses I will take it from there. Not all SM4sh like being optimized. Depends on character and individual objects. I am also taking visibility bones into account, but this is a file size matter and not to mention the HD sized textures. Push comes to shove, I'll fuse the detail and plain textures as I did here (look at the head). Also, he now has fixed normals becuase Sm4sh has some pretty half-half normals. Literally.

Try the "Model Request" thread.

well, HD textures should be reduced to brawl-ish sizes anyway... and on the model side, cant u custom make lower poly hair polygons for example? and just bake the textures over... idk, properly optimizing is a difficult art

I dunno, these Smash 4 models don't really run well with the lighting engine. They look bleached or something without all their maps correctly applied.
Smash 4 stages fit more because they have more traditional texture technique, same with Smash 4 assist trophies.
I think that could be easily solved by making the textures darker overall. Not the best solution but it could be workable until the lighting issue is figured out. -or maybe the lighting issue has to do with their shaders?

And I thought I was the only one who thought that. The stages do look amazing, can't really say the same for the characters. 3DS models actually fit Brawl more I'd say.

Honestly, the biggest difference between Smash 4 and Brawl graphically is that all of the odels have spec maps, bump maps, and shaders that allow shadows to be cast upon themselves. Hell that was the biggest graphical improvement between Wii and WiiU. And I thought I was the only one who thought that.

Most of it I'd say is because Brawl doesn't have amazing lighting and because of the lack of normals and such. I think the textures would need a lot of manual work to look decent in Brawl, but I'm not sure a lot of people want to do that.

Majora, you of all people should know I'm no stranger to those facts. Another solution could be applying brand new shaders to the models. Most of it I'd say is because Brawl doesn't have amazing lighting and because of the lack of normals and such. I think the textures would need a lot of manual work to look decent in Brawl, but I'm not sure a lot of people want to do that.
A lot of that work can be done by utilizing the normal / bump maps and if you wanted to: the spec maps. Put the normal map over the model, desaturate it, use multiple layers with different darkening blend modes and edit as needed and you'll be done, for the most part. The spec maps also provide another viable shading solution, for those that have them.

I realize this, and from what I know that's what most of these are doing, yet it still doesn't have the depth the Smash U models have. I realize the difference is between normals and not normals, but I'm pretty sure normals aren't meant to be used like that... A good base, yes, but just overlaying the normals and calling it a day seems too simple to me. At least from what I've been seeing.

You're right, it's very overly simple, but that's the beauty of it. Beyond just overlaying or multiplying the desaturated normals and bumps, you can further edit the duplicated and edited layers to maximize the effect they have on the textures. Only way to fix the issues otherwise aside applying new shaders for all the models would be having to somehow edit the lighting engine and game itself to accept bumps.

That's exactly what I mean by manual texture work, the unfortunate reality is that Brawl doesn't support bump maps so you have to compensate for that in the textures like Brawl did. That's also why the Smash 3DS models look like they have more depth than these, because the textures are actually done without things like that in mind.

Skullkid is looking great so far, I went ahead and bone-edited Wolf's arms to keep from having to change the original model's proportions that much.
