What do u think should i use the cape on the black hayate ? If so i'll have to remove the katana (which i think looks cool with that outfit) .. Or i'll make another outfit using the cape
no one says he can't have like 8 outfits right ?

Lithium · 09/02/12 04:09

Keep the katana, rid of the cape. Katana's more fitting imo

Samer: That is a great site you found for character models. There is even an Oni model: http://thefree3dmodels.com/stuff/charac … 4-1-0-2311 lol

Samer · 09/02/12 10:09

Yeah what i liked most about it was that the models were all low poly and mostly in object format and had uv maps and all free unlike turbosquid.

Edt i have a question dunno if u know abt this .. Usually when i mod characters i convert the TRBS to dae .. But converting the ONCC to trbs is better to see the whole body in normal stance and the textures at same time, however using the ONCC i'm having trouble rotating body parts ..
meaning let's say i want to rotate the mid a bit along x axis so it aligns well with the pelvis .. After i rotate and freeze the rotation save as dae and convert to oni .. In game it's as if it wasn't rotated at all, reverts back to how the ONCC model was when i imported it to xsi.. (though it works for translation and scaling, it's not working with rotation)
while if i'm using a TRBS source and rotate it, and freeze rotation in game it keeps that rotation ..
My guess is that when u import it as ONCC it automatically rotates all body parts to match the stance, converting that back it ignores the rotation and restores them to the way they should be .. However that leaves no way to rotate and keep rotation from an onnc source ?
onisplit shoul correct the rotation only by the factor it rotated the model to match the idle stance and keep any extra rotation.

try it to see what i mean .. Import an ONCC .. Rotate mid let's say so it's backwards .. Freeze mid rotation (or don't freeze rotation, same result)and export this to dae .. Convert that dae to TRBS.oni and test the TRBS in game ..You'll see that the mid rotation was reset to original, while if u follow same steps from a TRBS source it will stay rotated in game.

Unfortunately, my Mac 3D program does not support animations so even if I import as ONCC the model is in the default folded state.

Have you tried renaming the exported dae as TRBS before converting to .oni file? Maybe as you said, if Onisplit sees ONCC it ignores the rotations, but if it is named TRBS it keeps them.

this model http://thefree3dmodels.com/stuff/charac … 4-1-0-1497 robot warrior would be really great if we could get in game
It is low poly .. there's no need to lower it at all i think and it's in obj format and triangulated
the body parts are separate and well defined (the head .. chest, biceps are separate objects) though the calf and feet are 1 object and biceps and shoulders they are easy to split as they are well defined ..
it has textures for each body part separately .. (ignore the sword)
would look great as a BGI robotic ninja ^_^ and it kinda looks like an evolved form of the training bot

That would look awesome!

With all these BGI characters you are making, we need a BGI level model!

Samer · 09/04/12 10:09

I think this is what i'm gonna try to learn next : rigging new already made characters into the game, like u did with lara and typhoon and like was done with masterchief and bgi trooper, so far i've modified oni models and mixed and matched them to make new stuff, so this should be a nice change while still in the character domain ^_^ which i can't deny i just love
Edt when the typhoon and lara and trooper were imported .. Was it enough to follow the tutorial geyser has on the wiki using gally ?
If there any other tips u've learnt or guidance before i try it please do share :$

EdT · 09/04/12 11:09

Looks like character modding is your expertise!

Actually... Lara was mix and match

geyser's tutorial is the best to follow.

Probably you should start with the robot warrior for the reasons you stated earlier. It is much harder when the model is a single part then you have to break it up into 19 parts and make them all overlap

Samer · 09/04/12 20:09

I just love this site http://thefree3dmodels.com/stuff/archit … 1-1-0-2144
http://thefree3dmodels.com/stuff/archit … 11-1-0-488
there are even levels and weapons ^_^

Samer · 09/04/12 21:09

paradox http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxzJ8ahjP8k&feature=plcp the throw u made here .. can i have it ? please *puppy eyes*

Samer · 09/05/12 05:09

sorry for the consecutive posts .. I'm trying to follow geyser's tutorial on ripping models into oni http://wiki.oni2.net/AE:Importing_character_models
He says "The first thing you want to do is combine the head meshes into one. Just comment out the "g" tags for parts 8 through 11, in the OBJ file, and you should get THIS. Reimport it into a new scene, and see what changed. "

what does this mean : Just comment out the "g" tags .. ? never heard of that .. it's probably something really simple since it's at the beginning and I'm sounding stupid but I'm curious to know what it means .. I know how to merge objects using the 'create' pane then 'merge' in xsi .. is there another way ?

obj file can be opened with an text editor. He probably meant to set # in front of lines (8-11) that start the g.

work in progress : hayate's partner : Hanako (means flower, wanted to name her hikari first then realized the name was used by owldreamer for his shinatama 2 character)

like hayate she'll have 4 outfits : red, white, black (stealth) and modern

I'm starting on the red one ..

each outfit will have a different hair style .. the rose one for the modern .. still have 1 more hairstyle to add . And the outfits to make ..
(obviously the cop outfit is a placeholder)

She looks very pretty I will feel pity if I fight her. ^^

Samer · 09/13/12 16:09

She'll mezmorize u with her beauty and then attack she'll have hayate's moves mostly and will appear in the mega pack level.

ltemplar · 09/13/12 16:09

Nice... how many Tirs the hairs have?
But i think she looks to realistic to be used in anime based game. Don't you think?

Samer · 09/13/12 16:09

The entire head about 800-900 .. with new severed textures and Sarai we're tending to use more realistic textures .. But i may modify the face textures still try to make them more anime, they were even more realistic when i started with them.

Mugen game Shades of Manhattan 2.

He only has 2 images as far as I know.

Samer · 10/05/12 03:10

second variant of hydra takes after Sarai more, i also toned down the green a bit.

still need to add metallic parts on the face.

Wonderful hairs...
Overall shape is quite nice too...but the texture is a lite bit to flat.
One more thing..if this is an L.S.D. why you add this zipper on her back? This is the armor or the costume?

Samer · 10/05/12 04:10

texture of the body u mean is flat ? I agree .. after seeing ur hammer textures I was actually hoping that when i'm done with the variants :$ u'll add that shading and layer that u did on the hammer that makes look less flat :$ :$ but i thought i'll try to do that myself before i ask.
it's not supposed to be a zipper, i got it from the typhoon texture it's some metallic thingy .. i agree it can look better but i don't know what to put there instead .. (shall i send u the chest texture ? to replace the zipper thingy .. :$) ?
