Still Working on his shaders but I got the details to be a bit more visible, so it's a step in the right direction. Also did more shader work on the Sheik Slate to get the glowwy stuff visible. doesn't glow yet tho.​

Another Costume Done!

Ancient set

Didn't make previous post because it required addition edits to the materials and shaders. The completion of this costumes also means that I now have the finalized shaders/materials for the sheikah slate. I will be including his amiibo/dlc mask as well. will be doing those tomorrow if I have the time, and redoing his other costumes throughout the week. Will post all this weekend.​

Will have a lot to show tomorrow, getting the last few costumes imported so I can start the vertexing process. I updated the shaders again, detailing looks better and has proper shading. There are also tons of new costumes.

Hey guys, sorry for the long silence. My plan is to try and have everything done before next year. Planning to retire from brawl modding 2019. I know BotW Link is really wanted so I am working on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe BotW Link to tide you guys over until I can get to and finish the actual BotW Link costume pack.

I also have a second quick project that I've started and am almost done with, I'll have some progress pics soon and should have both released this weekend.

you bet <3
holy crap he looks wonderful
cool!

As for Link, what I showed off is the older model. Current model underwent optimizations and has the traveler's bow on his back like in Ultimate. His current poly count should have him at lagless, 14,000k polys with everything visible. However I have to continue optimizing him so that I can fit all of his textures into his pac/pcs.

before anyone asks, yes I do have plans for his alternate costume.

Will you still finish the Samus Returns skin once you're done with Link? Been really anticipating that one! No rush on it, just curious.

I actually started back on her last weekend. I don't think I'm going to release her publicly unfortunately. Think it will be more of a portfolio thing, something to showcase so I can get into commissioning custom models.

I learned some new stuff so I restarted her from scratch and it's looking much better than my first attempt. I also decided to start with her power suit, it'll be the base model. Afterwards i'll move on to the varia suit and then the gravity. Unfortunately there aren't any good reference images to do the fusion suit, so i'll have to leave that one out. I'm hoping to have her finished this weekend so i'll probably post back soon with the finish model.

Anyway, here's what I have so far:

Ah, okay. I understand. Well, she’s looking good so far! Thanks for the response.
thanks and no problem. here's a little update on her:

WIP.png


As for Link I have no visible progress, won't have any until I start his alt. still optimizing his default costume/equipment, texture look, and pac/pcs optimizing. Progress will be slow because like I said I want to get into commission model stuff so plz be patient.

So you are making that SR Power Suit into a skin after all? YESSSSSS. It looks gorgeous.
That Zero Suit looks really good, too!

high possibility. Really want it to be a portfolio thing but I also wanna import her.

The last Progress was on Metroid Stuff. Today I'm going with Zelda!

First up is one of my most wanted mod because we still don't have a proper import for Him. It's BotW Link! I decided to pick up the BotW Link pack and here is my current progress.




This screen is outdated I've fixed the rigging issues. As for the details:

Just so you guys are prepared, he uses up to 50+ textures and has advanced shaders and materials. Atm he works on both Wii & Dolphin with the following things:

- lagless models
- normal maps
- specular maps
- rim lighting
- recolors

It won't add too much so hopefully he still work after I add the following things:

- metal
- moving eyes
- fs eyes
- and the sheikah slate.

The next mod is also BotW related. Everyone should have by now but just in case anyone haven't played BotW and/or it's DLC i'll put the next mod preview in a spoiler.



Currently in one of the discord servers their is a winter themed contest going on and this will be my submission. That's how this mod came about. I plan on importing the default BotW Zelda as well. Will work on it sometime after Link. I have until the first on next year so you can expect her sometime before then.

I have a lot more stuff so keep an eye out!

sorry, keep forgetting to post updates here so i have tons of stuff today. Due to how much stuff i'm posting i can't/won't go into detail about the specific about each mod. But things that have been done are new recolors, material/shader edits, model tweaks, and some other fixes. If your interested the image leads to the download.













I've updated her but the Smash Wii U/3DS Samus might not be worth redownloading with the Ultimate import just around the corner. Up to you. The Ultimate import is superior in many ways, model, materials/shaders, rig, etc!

On the subject of Ultimate imports Samus isn't the only one i'm working on.











And there's more on the way​

Important Note, these imports won't be like my previous imports. I didn't want to bake the textures and re-texturing from scratch is outta the question. So i've been working on some custom shaders/materials to use with Ultimate imports. These shaders/materials make use of all of Ultimate texture maps: Diffuse, Emissions, Normals, & PRM. I also added the rim effect for a nicer look. All mods in the picture are using these shaders/materials(believe they are slightly outdated, have a better look now). Here's whats left for each:

- Samus: Rig touch ups, recolors, model changer replacement.

- ZSS: Rig touch ups, recolors, model changer replacement, optimizing, textures adjustments.

- Zelda: Rig touch ups, recolors, optimizing, fixing normals, texture adjustments.

- Link: Rig touch ups, recolors, optimizing, expressions, fixing normals, texture adjustments.

I has more Ultimate ports! will do in-game sometime next week. these are all with the HD textures btw, not the quality you'll get for the final unfortunately.










rigging isn't 100% but they all have rigging, just a few touch-ups in a few areas for each. Think a few might be almost perfect.

Didn't think anyone was still here lol

guess i'll start posting stuff here again. First off, for those who haven't seen it i recently released a new toon link mod




download link: Brawl Vault (kc-mm.com)

As for my current project, I'm working on Metroid Samus Returns concept art ZSS.

Left is old/right is new.​


There's a W.I.P image/gif of the old version from Nov 2019 if you scroll up a bit.​

Initially I was just changing things that people disliked about Brawl ZSS and adding sum muscle definition. Even planned/made alternate costumes, returns concept art zss(model on the left) being one of them. She was suppose to be ZSS 2.0. Last month someone brought her up and i cancelled the 2.0 idea and revamped her into the Returns concept art ZSS(model on the right). However the model on the right is now outdated. Still a WIP but below is my current progress



Returns Bailey​


Zero mission​


Returns fusion​


Texture work is pretty much all that's left. I'm slowly learning as i go so it's going to take awhile to get it finished. Besides that she's pretty much reggie to go.
