Project Pichu: v2.5 Released!!! - Perfect Physics update! Hiatus not over, though...

[InTrepidCognito]

But the problem with that is, what will we do w/ the alternate costumes?

Ahem... (points to signature)

 

[Get A Load of This!]

Just a note, Pikachu only has four costume slots, so there's no chance of a neutral costume for both genders. May want to just have different downloads for male/female like there are now.

 

[SqLeon]

OVERRULED.

Now someone tell me h2fix bones lulz

Which bones? Is the pichu model going over Pikachu?

 

[Senjen]

sweet pichu joins the fray again can't wait to see more pictures of pichu in action

 

[superyoshi888]

...Can't you just rename the bones you will be animating?

 

[fortwaffles]

I can fix bones. pm me

 

[b2j135]

Bump:

oh **** oh ****! HYPED!!! Man I can't w8 to whip *** with this new brawl pichu! ^_^

 

[BlindWatchDog]

ugh, maybe you should make this over Lucas and make Lucas an alt costume for Ness to clear up a space since Pichu is different from Pikachu.

 

[[TSON]]

That isn't possible. We're a moveset hack too, and I'm not going to spend all of my time porting it to another pac, nuh uh. Pichu is a costume on Pikachu, but moveset files affect all costumes so either way it'll do the same thing.

 

[Shadowbolt]

Are people still giving problems about which characters the new ones replace? Dude, it's a new character - why complain at all about that?

 

[BlindWatchDog]

Yes, I said REPLACE lucas. Not make him an alternate costume.

 

[Alphatron]

Hey guize, maybe you should port this over to Zelda nad maek Zelda an alt costume for Link since Pichu is different frum Pikachu and Zelda and Link r teh same!1!

 

[agroves]

link and zelda are definatly not the same and no one can replace zelda with pichu (at the moment but there might be a day..) people would have to completely change the moves and the costume and i don't think anyone would bother to do that

 

[Alphatron]

Was being sarcastic. D=

 

[[TSON]]

Yes, I said REPLACE lucas. Not make him an alternate costume.

What would that accomplish?

 

[agroves]

Was being sarcastic. D=

oh sorry didn't knoww

 

[superyoshi888]

Bumpered.

So hows progress going on fixing up that Pichu?

 

[Vmage]

Bump:

Awesome! Now that's a pichu. How long before that pichu is done? I can't wait to see him/her in action with that brand new look. ichu:

Edit: Nooo! The picture's gone!

 

[D.B.K.]

needz moar bumpz

Anyone feel like giving me money for a new Wii?

 

[superyoshi888]

D.B.K.!

...Unfortunately, I have no spare money. D: And even if I did, I would probably wind up spending it on myself... XD

So no. I wouldn't send a random person moneys anyways.

 

[leafbarrett]

Has anyone tried renaming the bones to fit the corresponding body parts to see what happens?
If the model ends up all twisted and mutated, then you're kinda out of luck... you'll have to remake all the animations. :<

 

[Vmage]

One of the big things needed for Pichu is the voice. I'm not sure if it's very possible to completely change the voice of Pichu but... you don't want Pichu to keep on saying "Pikachu!" as pokemons say their own name. Other characters won't have a big problem with their voices but this Pichu has a big problem...

 

[superyoshi888]

Well, once the next File Patch code is released we can make a voice pack....

Great! This is just like adding a brand new character.

 

[superyoshi888]

I know. We have a model and a moveset hack. We can make new CSPs and change the name shown on the screen. When we can load sound patches from a SD card, we'll be able to change what the announcer says AND give Pichu her proper voice files.

Once that happens, we can have a completely replaced character. This makes me soooo excited. :D

But the animations will most likely have to be done from scratch. :<
I'll be willing to pitch in if you'll let me, but in all honesty, I'm a piss-poor animator if I don't have a base animation to screw with. ;_;

 

[ds22]

Edit: Nooo! The picture's gone!

Odd...

Thank you!

Also I want to see a video of Pichu in action so far. Do you guys have any?

 

[[TSON]]

The new model is a lot of work. I have to redo all of the animations. All of them. =_=

I'll help, if you're willing to accept help from a mediocre animator. <:3

 

[Vmage]

I never tried 3d animating. But I think I'm pretty decent at 2d animation. How easy is 3d animation? Maybe I can help?

3d animating is hard cuz ive tried but try it anyway. u might be talented at it Im ok at 2d but i need more practice

A lot harder than 2D.
Basic concept: A character has a bunch of bones that determine where the various body parts move. You rotate those on a 3D space around a 3-axis vertex (where it connects to the bone before it).

 

[Vmage]

Does this involve lots of coding for movement. If there's lots of coding required then I may not be able to help.

Edit: Well I may give it a try. Maybe I'll learn quickly. (I'm a fast learner)

 

[[TSON]]

I'm a good 2D animator too; 3D animating is an absolute pain for me.

 

[superyoshi888]

I actually just made a few 2D animations.

Sprites used
Bulbasaur
Ivysaur
Venusaur

However, I don't really have much experiance outside a few I did a year or two ago. And those I posted were based on the Crystal animations anyways, so...

 

[Kei_Takaro]

I can give a hand at some Pichu animations, do you want the animations just like the PSA before we got the model?

Also sometimes I wish I could just drag the parts around as easily as in gMod

 

[DVDV28]

Will this still only be one of Pikachu's slots? As in will it still be an option to only replace on of his textures?

 

[sffadsad]

I think Raznak7 has an animating method that involves using sprites or something similar. You should try asking him about it if you haven't already.

 

[superyoshi888]

So silence, could you send me the model? I wanna see what I can do with animations for it.
