But the fingers....

I said "Rig is finished" yes...But it's still a work in progress.

If you want, I could always try and see if the PM Ridley team could manage to salvage the project.

The way I rigged this model is perfect. I don't know if they will have to start from scratch on rigging and they might rig it carelessly...OR, I could give them my 3DS max scene because, once this model has been imported to brawlbox, it cannot be exported and imported back into 3DS Max, because I'd have already placed the finger and hand bones in the correct spots, once imported into 3DS, you may see some issues with his fingers. They'll need my 3DS scene where the bones are untouched.

And also, I'll be trying to get 3DS Max 2013 back, I think I'm on a good path to get ridley into Smash.

[ShadowLuigi~NG~]

You say perfect, but the fingers and toes look odd to me.

[BlueBrain]

how can the rig be finishied and a WIP at the same time?

Clearly I said rig is finished. But still, there are things to be done with the custom animation file, people.

I'm just gonna say this, since Project M Ridley has that range, but his tail is shorter than sm4sh Ridley's tail. Now Sm4sh Ridley has a longer tail and it matches Project M Ridley's side smash range.
This Ridley's tail bone translations isn't animated....(yet) So I think it's 100% fair that his tail doesn't need anymore shrinking for his tail attacks.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

But, his wait animation or maybe some other ones as well, may need some fixing because of his long tail. It doesn't look right the way I needed to shrink anyway.
Also, I'm gonna figure out the size his wings may need...

I'm confused, is this rigged over the Bagan Ridley model? Or does it use the original bones?

I think he said that it's using the original bones, but I'm not sure if that's happening anymore.

I'd suggested using the mod's bones simply for compatiblity, but it's his mod, so I'm just making suggestions. :p

[StupidMarioFan1]

I agree with using the PM Ridley bones, especially for ease of swapping out the models like DastardlyRidleylash said.
Also I can sympathize with how people were overlooking the part where you said you had to edit the animations and might've gotten a little annoyed. I can sympathize almost too much to be honest. :>.>palm:

I have discovered the next step for model imports:
Vertex Coloring!!!!!
(Please ignore the mess of the model, was testing to see if it truly worked ingame)

Sweet; looks like we won't need to edit anything after all, then. And since we're on the topic...how are you going to handle cosmetics like CSP's and BP's?

Are you going to pose it like the unused icon in the game's data?


Or are you going to use the trophy pose?


Or are you making an entirely original render for the CSP's, BP's and whatnot?

[ShadowLuigi~NG~]

-snippers-

Well, that's informative. I knew it was possible, but never really had a reason to attempt. Now I know the proper procedure. Thanks.

Well, I was wondering if the PM Ridley team could edit a few animations for Sm4sh Ridley's long tail. I already got the wing size figured out.
I'm already working on recolors for the model...The CSP's...I can recolor the trophy image, I've made a render with PM Ridley in the trophy pose for my VBrawl compatibility hack. I'd rather use the actual image...I've been through worse in my past portrait recoloring experiences. I can handle it.

You can also paint Vertex Alpha to make something transparent. I did it for my WiiU Mega Charizard

[StupidMarioFan1]

Really? How useful is that because wouldn't that be only effective on high quality models or am I just not thinking of how that would be useful. Still that's awesome.

Yeah it would only be good on higher poly models, but you can use a soft brush to make a gradual fade from opaque to transparent.
