BILL'S HAT MODEL IMPORTED INTO BRAWL!

[PAVGN]

Can you convert/import .DAE files into Brawl? Because I found this place a few days ago and I think It'd be awesome If you could import this.

@RandomTBush

if I gave you a mesh that's lower in polycount and vertcount to another mesh I want to replace. would you be able to replace it for me?

its the matter of replacing shinobu's hair with the real shinobu's hair.
find files here. (i dont care about UV import)

otherwise tomorrow I'll be committing time to scripting in max.
is there any functions you need might want, I can likely carry it out in maxscript.
like exportings verts or faces something like that in a specified format. or any read / write things. ? oh and do you know in what region the vertex weights are being stored?

also I was heavily involved with gmod, I've got alot of models. let me know if your looking for something.

[RandomTBush]

@randomTbrush, NICE! i just assumed it was doable only if it was from the source engine.

they ported mewtwo for gary's mod, if you made that for brawl.... you would be the most popular guy in brawl vault

provided that you get the rigging format situated that is.. i would settle for a crowbar XD

Ah, yeah. That's another thing I should do when/if I get the rigging format figured out. I should probably rig his model over Lucario's skeleton so that it will have the best results.

I suppose I could. I'll see if I can get it done within a week.

And I'm almost certain that the rigging is set up in polygon groups like this:

Code:

30 00 EF B0 78
30 00 F0 B0 84
30 00 85 B0 90
30 00 F2 B0 9C
30 00 1F B0 A8
30 00 44 B0 B4
30 00 41 B0 C0
20 00 EF B0 00
20 00 F0 B0 0C
20 00 85 B0 18
20 00 F2 B0 24
20 00 1F B0 30
20 00 44 B0 3C
20 00 41 B0 48
28 00 EF 84 00
28 00 F0 84 09
28 00 85 84 12
28 00 F2 84 1B
28 00 1F 84 24
28 00 44 84 2D
28 00 41 84 36

The identifiers for rigging are "30", "20" and "28", and are in the polygon groupings in several different spots. That's just one of the many chunks from Pikachu's MDL0. Right now, I really don't know what those values mean, but I'm gonna be comparing the exported values from a DAE file and the raw values and see what's similar between them sometime later. (That's how I figured out the basic polygon format in the first place, in fact.)

And DANG, that Shinobu used to be Marth? Certainly fooled me. D:

Can I request, if possible, Sora's Keyblade converted as a Brawl model?
Preferable this one:

The first thing I'll do when I figure it out, though, will most likely be porting Zoey over Zero Suit Samus.

Dude!!! I would LOVE you forever if you did get Zoey in Brawl. She's my fave L4D char. I can't wait till you can import Source engine stuff. I'll keep my eye on this topic from now on XD

[Setzer]

We still have a long way to go before EVERYTHING has been hacked in Brawl.

Well... no one has done a Mr. Canti from Fooly Cooly yet. That's something that WOULD BE APPRECIATED! (HINT DO IT SOMEONE HINT!)

gawd this topic is dead, plz post in requests.. 0_0

It's not dead unless I say it is.

But anyway, I've been having some trouble getting Max's Severed Head to work on Pikachu. It's there and everything, but it causes the same glitching and slowdown as I had with Jigglypuff when I first tried to put the Bill's Hat in the same MDL0... I'm gonna spend more time looking into the MDL0 format, because I think I may just be forgetting something important...

[Wulfbang Meow]

oh, sorry bout that, its just that its been very quiet.. 0_0

All the major info in a collada dae file is just a rearranged version of brawls MDL0 files. I can build completely new brawl models from any dae, the only thing is it take about a bajillion years. The only thing don't quite understand fully is how tristrips works.

[NecroMasterX]

It doesn't have to be on pikachu, I mainly want it as a kirby hat.

[Internetakias]

I want max too in brawl and maybe a character model import from sam and max season 1 or 2

Triangle strips basically go from point 1 to 2 to 3, then from 2 to 3 to 4, then from 3 to 4 to 5, etc. It's a more efficient way for storing large lengths of triangles.

Well, good, because I can't get it working on Pikachu, because of the way the vertex weights are stored. I'll see if I can get a chance to put the Kirby hat model together sometime later next week.

Entire character models are not possible yet, and probably won't be for a few more months (at least).

Sorry i meant to say i know how they work, but i don't know a method (or at least one that doesn't require me searching for each individual point and writing it) for getting a string of them.

If you want an easy way to convert the triangles into tristrips, use the Collada Refinery. Just run a DAE file through it with Tristripper, and it'll convert all of the triangles into triangle strips.

(Sometime, I'll write a better step-by-step tutorial, so that no important steps will be missed.)
