I'm so glad you guys actually went through with this. When you guys collaborate, especially on projects that were finished a while ago, true glory is made. I hope the art team can put their heads together and add this magic to everything. Thank you SJS
Thank god, default ZSS was horrible.
I Knew it was gonna happen someday. I'm glad this superior skin is now official! Many thanks PMDT. That red colour looks really slick now too!
That's why they were referred to as, forgive my immature mouth, "boob socks", if you were wondering.some guy said:
I don't think Charizard needs an extensive revamp like ZSS. Mostly it seems to me that Charizard's problem is he seems to have weird shading/shadows on his model. I think his model is mostly fine otherwise. Pikachu also has similar issues, and I don't know what could be done to improve Pikachu but he is probably the one I would to see be considered for improvements.
I'm fine with the face, but I see what you mean by the leg. Maybe just have her lower her at more of an angle.That Zero Suit Samus still needs some touching up. I hope that they fix it like with the Roy model.
I notice that the face is very odd looking, but I can't put my finger on it though, but the shape just seems doll-like and has a strange "glow" to it like with Sm4sh ZSS. I definitely prefer Brawl Samus' face more because it fits her character/voice more as well; the body/suit on it was my only problem with it.

And then her (new) portrait is awkward as well with the legs. Even in HD, it looks like her leg is just a little stump because of the bad perspective, it will look even worse when shrunken down. It would probably be a good idea if they just stuck with a pose similar to normal Brawl Samus, if not the portrait that was originally in the pack for this model.
Could be because nobody plays on water levels.
In competetive play, maybe, but Project M is played by people who don't always go to tournaments, as well. It should be polished like an official Smash game is, at the very least.
Can confirm, I play on water levels. Can't say I drown on them though. I'd bet most people still don't see that animation since they hop back onstage as soon as they're in the water.
not anytime soon lolThis, when?
And to top it - the recent discovery of GLOWY MAGIC.
Not really, it's been sadly quiet. We discussed potential changes to Falcon's N64 palette swap, lots of stupid jokes, blue colours, Squirtle, "Dark Mewtwo", the new Awakening outfit for Roy, and Zero Suit Samus.
I don't think there are many characters that need redesigns, except Sonic (who doesn't even closely resemble his CSP), maybe Toon Link.
I relate with this statement so much. I was always an Ivysaur in Project M, but then 3.6 Olimar came out... And 3.5 Ganondorf... And Samus's fifty costumes... And everyone. Except Fox I hate you Fox. I hate you soooo much.
I agree with you, but the amount of work required for that might be unrealistic. I'd still like to see something to that effect, and I'd be willing to wait a long time for it as long as I knew it was coming.
Its an Ambient Occlusion map. It makes fake shadows on the model. Since Kart ROB had mostly static objects, we were able to use it. We used the same thing for ZSS's gun holster shadow, since the textures are mirrored.
That's the coolest thing ever! When I saw the shadows on the new Zero Suit Samus' holster (I noticed) I was wondering if you redid the whole UVW just to add that shadow. That also explains a lot about Source Filmmaker, where AO is a big deal. I didn't know what it was at the time - but models that supported it always looked better. Life makes so much sense now.Its an Ambient Occlusion map. It makes fake shadows on the model. Since Kart ROB had mostly static objects, we were able to use it.

The reason that theyre green/red are to save filespace. The red channels of the texture use one specular texture, while the green uses another. We also used this for ZSS to save filespace for her.
Teaching moment:
Here is the specular/AO map for ZSS:

The red parts are the specular levels, and the green parts are the AO levels. The suit has a small texture to it to give it more of a spandex feel. The green areas create shadows on the model, mostly under the gun holster. The AO also uses a different UV channel than the specular texture, so this helps us save space by fitting 2 maps onto one texture.
Yeah, I just saw the new alt for Roy, and it looks pretty awesome. Now here's hoping that they fix Sheik's head on the sides, because they look weird when her bangs are not covering her (compare that to her Melee model), as well as classic Sheik's leg sides, which seems to be an artifact from her Brawl model.
Could you post a picture of what you're thinking?
I got really excited before when Nano posted.
