The Smash 3 Project - Get Your DLC Early

[ledgerewskie]

I wouldn't say from scratch. More like, super editing. Regardless, I loved that fact that this project is still going on very strong. Both Samus' and the Dry Bowser renders seem...off to me. Not too sure why for Dry Bowser, but Samus looks more toy like than a suit. Still, clean work nonetheless. Keep it up guys!

The Smash 3 guys do indeed make their textures from scratch.  You might be mistaking some of the non-Smash 3 team uploads for their work.  A lot of "Smash 3" recolors are uploaded by non-members, and they're often of poor quality.  I would include some of my older work in this, as well

There is also Smash 3C, which isn't a team, but rather a community effort started to finish the PM alts and other notable mods that the S3 team won't be working on.  By nature, that has resulted in some uneven quality of uploads, but many members now work together and we're producing better work (see the updated Smash 3C Commander Lucas or the Smash 3C Solid Snake for instance).  I did the Dry Bowser render you mentioned; I had only been using Blender for a few weeks and it was mainly with Taiko's help that I had been able to produce it, but I am trying to improve.  I do think it blends in fine with the Smash 3 Bowser on the CSS, though.

I've being following this project since quite a while now and I know that it's currently in some kind of hiatus so I wish not to be a bother... It's simple curiosity.

You guys are planning to update the following characters: Link, Toon Link, Ganon, Roy, Marth, Pit, Jigglypuff, Pikachu? 'Cause many of the texture of the Triforce characters mencionned don't look quite as detailed as any of your other work (specially Link); moreover, it's quite the same thing about Marth and Roy :/ There's some things in Marth's model that seems quite off and Roy's would like an update since it seems that every post-3.0 patch in PM they tweek him a little bit more.

About Jiggy and Pikachu... well, this is more like a question than a complain. Will you use Jigglypuff Smash 4 Model import for your project? I know that is not your style but I think it's more fitting to what you're doing than brawl's model (so goes for Pit and Falcon... perhaps?). And Pikachu is a concern of mine, since I know that any "recolor" involves adding a new object (made from the scratch) to Pikachu's model, will you tackle it to add new costumes as (for example) Ethan's hat?

Pikachu and Jigglypuff will have an updated model to better resemble their goal of trying to make the characters look close to smash 4 as possible, However they are using the X/Y models and the the Smash 4 Models.

That seems like a pain in the ass, smash 4 are already updated in that regard... all they need to do is give those their personal flavor

Using Smash 4 models is problematic because when two or more of these models are running on the Wii console in a battle, there is considerable lag. I've downloaded some of these off the Vault so I know this personally.

Utilizing models that induce lag would alienate a great chunk of the community from their project, specifically those of us who play with a competitive mindset.

It's my understanding that the Smash 3 team is simply making all of their new models from scratch, which is certainly the right way to go.

We are not using S4 models, its too easy.

We been through this before multiple times, we are either making the Brawl Model better, or making our own adjusted/fixed/custom models better... is the challenge we partake for this project.

By the way, we are still active, but not on this thread, we are most active in the Smashboards Thread: http://smashboards.com/threads/the-smash-3-project-not-working-with-project-m.340807/

Plenty of our members don't hang out on KCMM anymore.

The files that are overwritten are:
Link's moveset files
Ike's moveset files
Marth's moveset files
Roy's moveset files

I'm sorry if this was asked like 20 times already,assuming I want to keep the default moveset files for Project M, can I ignore the Smash3C moveset files and still use the costumes, or will there be problems?

Yes, the movesets are only things like sword trails. Not adding them will work just fine.

Is this pal compatible? Because it dosen't look like it is.

[Glitchy]

I'm sorry if this is been asked before but will this work with PM 3.5?

EDIT: I downloaded it and it came with a Project M version, so I'm assuming it does.

EDIT 2: Doing some research, some characters (such as Marth and Link) freeze it because of the sword trails. Should I be fine if I just use the textures and not the sword trails?

[iwantgames]

This doesn't work for PM atm, some changes were made in their latest version

We are working on an update to make it compatible, just need some more time

[shinyh2o1]

Oh okay thanks.

S3C

also those asking about progress, we are more active on our smashboards thread: http://smashboards.com/threads/the-smash-3-project-not-working-with-project-m.340807/

[Glitchy]

I actually found a version compatible with Project M on Smashboards. I'm going to test it soon.
