The Smash 3 Project - Get Your DLC Early

[Xenozoa425]

I was more talking about something akin to Samus' metallic reflection texture.

Something I tried to do previously with Meta Knight was add a custom specular map, but that didn't work out well, and I don't really know why.

Meta Knight's sword jewel actually uses the same materials and shaders as Samus's armor g, but the texture itself is almost the same, just slightly different. And I agree, his materials are really weird to work with, for some reason I can't allocate the armor shine effect from his pauldrons onto his sword or boots. I even set up custom materials and shaders that mimic the ones the pauldrons use; it shows up in BrawlBox, but doesn't appear at all in-game.

And thanks for apologizing, we act and speak the way we do because not only does it make us and our work look more professional and organized, it sets a standard that other members and guests can look up to.

I'm pretty sure that Smash 3 Meta Knight causes freezes in PM provided you're using an altered MotionEtc file.

It's no big deal, because I was just able to port the textures over a vBrawl MK and it looks fine.

The file size for the textures themselves are much higher than the vBrawl versions because I used RGBA8 format for the main body, which inflated the file from around 700 KB up to 1.80 MB. I didn't want the textures to get too ugly looking from CMPR compression, and I had a choice between the main body, or the wings/cape/sword. I went with the main body because the lighting/shadow gradients I used on the mask and body get completely messed up and look really bad in any other format.

Actually the speculars were working fine in-so far as showing up in game, it's that they were too bright, and I didn't know what to do about their opacity or how to make them blend.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Wasn't Yoshi started?

[Xenozoa425]

Started, but nowhere near finished.

[NinfanNanz]

what about sonic? whats up with him? no rush, just is it still model issues?

[Nezha B. Rose]

We are still improving it for the moment. Just some bug fixes left.

[KidCraft24]

Really excited to see how sonic turns out. :)

So... would you guys want some help with adding new specular maps to some characters?

[Androidd Prince]

Is anyone working on Lucas? If not, could I perhaps get some information on how I might be able to contribute?

edit: nevermind what was here before.

[Nezha B. Rose]

Silver is the one doing Lucas right now.

When do you think we'll see more progress on Wario?

When do you think we'll see more progress on Wario?

Soon... I have to modify some textures here and there, so there's isn't anything worth previewing at the moment. No worries though, I have big plans for him.

Wario's hair is a massive pain to edit. Hopefully you can make it a little easier to manipulate!

Bicker Wario is even a bigger pain, retexturing him is far more difficult that you might expect.
Specifically, the compression BB does afterwards to your work...
