[Official] Project M discussion: RIP

[Akeno/Archer]

I wasn't into Project M... But now... I think it may change xD

[Gamma Ridley]

Yuck, Melee Fox. Never was a fan of that design. Kind of disappointed to see it as an alt.

Oh well, the rest look nice. 'Specially that Shadow Queen.

[Miacis]

Not very inspired on some of those alt designs... Shadow Queen stands out, but that's about it for me.

I'm glad you guys have been enjoying our promotional videos and images! <3

Is somebody going to fix that awful Mewtwo page someday? Seems like none of the regular PMBR visitors are willing to do it. Maybe you can? :3

Nahhh they're gonna stay with PM.

At least I don't plan on releasing any to the vault.

Why?

[nanobuds]

Why?

Bcuz I'm lazy. Idunno.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

I agree with Data on the eyes. Looks more vampire like than possessed. Regardless, pretty awesome job on it, Pik!

[Segtendo]

Great models, you guys.

[Eternal Yoshi]

Oh hey, one of the PMBR big shots visiting KCMM for once.

Why?

The ones who handle the pages have already been notified and it will be edited in a little bit.

In other news, there's more stuff to come so stay tuned.

I actually just noticed something else about Shadow Queen...

Her shoulders don't seem quite accurate.
http://www.mariowiki.com/Shadow_Queen

But, this might be due to rigging issues. And left intentionally inaccurate. For the sake of rigging.

And I still say something should be done with the eyes to seem more possessed looking.

Not sure what though... Maybe giving the eye whites a SLIGHT purple hue? Or do something with the iris to make it look... Creepier? I don't know.

Still, as I've said before though. It looks really good other then these little nitpicks. And is the best of the P:M alts by far.

But when you compare it to uninspired things like Melee versions. It stands out big time. You COULD have gone the unoriginal route, and made the Peach alt Rosalina. But chose not to... Props to ya.

We're not trying to 100% copy off the official alt from their original games. Each model will be slightly tweaked and modified to fit the modeler's taste and to fit in with Brawl's art style.

More alt costume I for can be found here:

[StarWaffle]

Literally the same model as found in the vault... but here's a new picture I guess.

^ I don't think it needed changes anyway, the model was already really good.

I like the Shadow Peach render, but that Dry Bowser one isn't very flattering. Same with Mr. L.

Edit: I should probably elaborate so I sound less [censored]ish. The Dry Bowser render is just sorta awkward, and it draws attention to the less-than-flattering parts of the model. The only thing weird about Mr. L is the hands. They're really small and it kills the sense of depth that the pose is trying to convey. I dunno, just talking out my ass here.

[silver856]

Just read that page on the alt. costumes and it made me wonder if standalone costumes would get recolors after everyone got their costume and the remaining characters were added. Is that even a possibility?

Yeah. I have to agree.

The Dry Bowser render doesn't seem menacing enough.

At the moment. He's just standing there all like "meh".

His pose should be a bit more dynamic.


And as SJ said about Mr. L... Yeah, the prospective seems off. It should have a better sense of depth.

They are small looking because Luigi's hands aren't that big. They are scaled a lot in Luigi's animations.
