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

[TommoPuppy]

He wants the model so that he can vertex Pikachu in Pichu in the same way as done with Mewtwo.

I read the conform morph stuff thank you. I just thought that Superyoshi meant that the actual model should be used.

 

[superyoshi888]

*Bumps*

Now you just got the model yesterday, but uh, any progress?

 

[wilttilt]

Actually, the entire head WAS done, but a virus caused the loss of that file, so....no progress as of now

the head is like 1 of the most important things to look like pichu too, well i can be patient just fine, unless you show some awesome teaser like mariokart64n did lol

 

[wilttilt]

Sorry everyone for the false hope, but I wasn't paying attention to the days left on my 3ds trial....

 

[superyoshi888]

Aww man, that sucks. Oh well, I can be patient. I got the Mewtwo model to look at and Project M to be super hyped for.

 

[dirtboy345]

Sorry everyone for the false hope, but I wasn't paying attention to the days left on my 3ds trial....

what does that mean that you won't be able to do this? can't you just redownload it from another site for another trial or something?

 

[wilttilt]

Unfortunately, I only know of one site that has the trial, and Mariokart64n's method only works for 3dsmax8

 

[superyoshi888]

I believe mk64's thread had a download up for a trial.

 

[Thany]

Quick question my fellow Pichu fans.

What are all the (planned) costumes for Pichu going to be?

And are there still going to be two different Pichu's?(Male and female)

Gonna make stock icons for this adorable mouse(that reminds me
of one of my cats :3), hence why I search for costume-related knowledge :3

 

[[TSON]]

No idea at this point. :/. It all depends on what model/vertex we end up getting (if EVER ;_; )

 

[GameWatching]

morphing pikachu with pichu
i tried it sometime ago,
but it don't want to morph,

why ?
because pikachu havn't the same number of vertices as pichu !
i wonder how mk64n did with ganon and mewtwo since it's impossible to them to have the same number of vertices

if i can morph 2 models that havn't the same number of vertices in 3ds max 8,
let me know !

thanks

 

[Thany]

So...*depressed* How do these prototype
stock icons tickle your fancy?

Left one's rounder, right one's got more of a chin...

*sigh* I can't sprite Pichu to save myself...

...

Prolly make the top of the head rounder too
in the future, I guess...

I dunno...

I prefer the left one myself.

 

[TommoPuppy]

What's wrong with the Melee ones?

 

[Thany]

Nothing, really...

But everyone else from previous Smash Bros games got
new stock icons.

Roy, Mewtwo, Young Link, the Doc, and Pichu deserve no less,
right? <:3

...

...In fact...

...They deserve so much better...

 

[kangaroogreen]

Did I do good?

And the side view.

And yes, he finally has no neck and doesn't require codes.

You did well my son, you did well.
It looks amazing. :D

 

[dirtboy345]

i usually wouldn't say amazing but considering how hard it is to edit pikachu yes

 

[kangaroogreen]

You did well my son, you did well.

mmmm, why thank you very much. :D

 

[[TSON]]

We're gonna need someone to retexture it before I judge that. It does look like quality work, though.

 

[TommoPuppy]

It does look quite odd, but I suppose animations can fix that.

I'm liking all these compliments.

Odd how?
And I used animations to make the head bigger and tail smaller and such.

And in the pictures, I didn't change his size to make him smaller in PSA. (as I couldn't remember which attribute it was.)

Edit: I just tried it with the moveset.... worked perfect

 

[superyoshi888]

My issues: Just needs to be retextured. Maybe make the ears slightly larger. Other than that, it looks great, considering how difficult it is to edit Pikachu(of all things...).

 

[TommoPuppy]

Like, the head just sorta cuts off at an angle. But you're kinda limited by bones when it comes to the shape of the head, right?

 

[dirtboy345]

if you weren't so limited with pikachu id say smaller body, more ovally head and a better texture and id be near perfect

 

[D.B.K.]

It definitely looks better than the old code based size hack. I'm sure it will look even better once someone makes a decent texture for it.

 

[dirtboy345]

what if you mixed that vertex with the newest size mod code and better texture

 

[[TSON]]

It'd probably break the model in two.

Guys! Good news! I'm going to be doing a quick update. Nothing extreme, just physics changes to perfectly match Melee. So uh, yeah.

I'm guessing you dumped the physics from pichu, like you did with Mewtwo?

 

[standardtoaster]

Well of course. Tson with the rest of the crew dumped melee's physics for everything. Check the project m topic in codesets.

Female only for now.

We'll call this 2.5.

MERRY CHRISTMAS... IN JULY.

done below.

Yeah I know, but the neck was a HUGE pain to do, so that's about as good as it's gonna get.

if you weren't so limited with pikachu id say smaller body, more ovally head and a better texture and id be near perfect

head done below.
unfortunately, there's no bone that control pikachu's body. and when vertexing, his head is inside of his body in a scrambled mess of verticies.

Better?

 

[Christian_CAO]

Better?

Awesome work

 

[dirtboy345]

yes better just a texture and it should look very good mostly because his face lol

 

[kangaroogreen]

The textures on the ears was ridiculously hard to do because of vertex stretching.

 

[dirtboy345]

ok for the texture it needs a smaller nose, a smaller and happier mouth, the shade of yellow is kind of weird and the black things that go down from his neck need to go down more here is a reference picture

also what is perfect physics is it something that changes the character to be unlike all the other characters?

 

[Matteron]

my only complaint is that it looks like it's holding it's breath.

Alright, I see the differences now.
and just need to finish every animation for his right ear, and then I'm done. should be about 9-11 minutes from this post.

and did you guys want to do the texture, or should I?

Edit: finished, gonna test with the new physics now.
