The Smash 3 Project - All Characters Released

[Taiko]

Mewtwo is now released. One step closer to completing your Pokédex!

Spoiler

And of course, additional costumes because we never have enough slots for our ideas:





And source PSDs to create your very own Rainbow Armor Mewtwo. Yes, we're waiting for one of you to do it.

In addition, we've added Scout/Edel's Bowser to the pack, so here's a review of what you get:

Enjoy!

EDIT: Oh right, I almost forgot, we've also updated the rim effect for all the characters. Redownload the old characters if you're not downloading from The Pack!

EDIT 2: I always forget something. Here's the updated progress chart!

[Sour Supreme]

YES. My groin is quenched.

Also those M2 Alts are beautiful!

Red armor Mewtwo... now that's just plain beautiful.
This keeps getting better and better!

For mod savvy people with bandwidth caps, here's the new rim texture:

It simply goes over the Edge texture in the character files.

 

[PseudoTypical]

Question: are the previous DLC's also adjusted with the new textures? I'm gonna reinstall a few, so I'd just like to know while I download The Pack again (no bandwidth cap FTW).

EDIT: ...How long has that "RIP" backdrop on the progress chart's Sonic square been there?

 

[Raccoon Chuck]

Yesz!
@ PseudoTypical ! Update your avatar with this new render goodness!!!

That I should! Right away.

They've all been updated, so you can just redownload those the same way.
And you saw nothing.

That I should! Right away.

Transparent renders are always good for those, so here you go:

Edit: or that works too

 

[Raccoon Chuck]

Are the DLC's done as well? "They probably are, but I'm paranoid."

[Rᴏb]

That Mewtwo render is amazing. I thought the PMDT's version was good... but yours blows theirs out of the water.
Also, what is keeping Sonic from being released? Is the model that hard to optimize, or have you guys just not got around to it?

 

[PseudoTypical]

I'll be right on that, then!

Spoiler

That render is freakin' enormous... the armor's got a special place in my heart, though. I broke my Pokemon movie VCR tape from playing it too much.

EDIT:

And you saw nothing.

 

[SuperNintendoKid]

i see that R.I.P on sonic.....IS SONIC DEAD FROM ALL THAT WORK DONE TO HIM?

You can't escape my all-seeing Dio-eyes, Raccoon Chuck.

Also, what is keeping Sonic from being released? Is the model that hard to optimize, or have you guys just not got around to it?

Its a mix of both. Our early attempts ended up giving Sonic needle legs, and then when other people tried they either disappeared or got super busy with other things.
He's still planned obviously, just doesn't look like it'll be soon...
I want to believe

i see that R.I.P on sonic.....IS SONIC DEAD FROM ALL THAT WORK DONE TO HIM?

Yes, we killed Sonic. In future updates we'll remove him from the game and replace him with the ultimate life form, Shadow.

Fun fact: The Sonic update is shown ingame publicly in one of the character screenshot galleries (and has been there for months). Of course, it lagged the game like crazy, but it was worth it for that one screen.

 

[Galen The Wise]

So, I'm tryin' to figure out which files I should be putting into the root of my SD card. There are two different Project M files and I'm a bit confused. Each one has different files in it so I'm not sure which I should be dragging and dropping.

ಠ_ಠ I'm actually pretty embarrassed from having taken this long to realize its existence... hiding in plain sight on Tumblr.

[Aunt Jemima]

YOU GUYS UPDATED KIRBYS RENDER IN THE PROGRESS CHART!@@@!@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KIRBYYYYYYYYYYYYY

 

[Mach5Mike]

Well, now I've got even more motivation for getting better with Mewtwo; I can learn how to use his Fair and Dair effectively while looking good at the same time :D

EDIT: Just checked out how Mewtwo looks in-game, and the improvement is astounding; amazing job as always guys!

 

[Morian]

Mewtwo...WITH ALTS! (Dr. Mario Hype!)

How amazing. It's a shame I don't have my sd card right now.

 

[AEMehr]

ermergerd mewtwo looks so pretty

DAT MEWTWO

Just seeing that makes my day and Inspires me so much, keep up the amazing work guys! Loving it!

 

[Crazc]

still waiting for 9bit to update his build

 

[Juken]

Is it me, or is the Bowser really... off? It doesn't looks like Smash 4/3 to me.

Also would there ever be a Smash 3 retexture for the PM Mega Mewtwo X/Y?

I love scout and all he does but I have to agree. I by no means wish to offend him but I think bowser should have another look taken at his texturing?

Thanks for doing what I cannot guys. Just added all the new updates to my build that's releasing soon.

The one titled "projectm" is the one you want to merge with the one on your SD card. The "Project M" folder is just to divide it from the Brawl files (it does nothing if you just drag that to your SD).

Sorry! Incorrect. I don't think it's on Tumblr either, you'll have to go through the character previews on Brawl Vault.

We've been updating his look overall, you can get a preview of what's coming here.
It's still WIP though, but the Bowser Scout made was dropped in favour of this model, and we thought it'd be a waste not to include it (same as Ike, in a sense).

As for Mega Mewtwo, it's not planned right now, but maybe after the project hits 1.0?

While this image is a WIP of Kirby and Yoshi, there's a few things I'd like to point out.

- Kirby should be more vibrant, but also have softer colors.

- Kirby's eyes (the white and blue in them) need to be softened a little bit instead of being "solid" textures.

- Kirby's pink cheek thingies need to be more "solid", but have a softness around the edge.

- Kirby's mouth mostly used textures om Smash 4, so if it's not too hard, it'd be a great addition!

- kirby will be a fabulous chicken nugget

yoshi is yoshi so hes ok because yoshi but kirby

I am completely offended!
Nah, just kidding.

You see, this Bowser was made before smash 3 changed its goals. In the original smash 3, characters texturing had only one perspective to work with... nintendo-esque. And I was pretty new to the texturing scene waaaaaaaaaaay back last year.

Remember how odd Ganondorf looked before in the old smash 3? It turns out Bowser is an equal example of this. It just doesn't fit.

The new and better smash 3 requires me to utilize a more better model, and tweak him to appeal his style, the smash 4/3 style.
Then why did we released the outdated version? Because its the vBrawl model, and it would just be a waste to just throw it away, no?

This is the model I'm working with. Noticable difference, he appears to look like more Smash 4 3ds.


Oh, and Giga was also released... with recolors for Project M.

 

[PseudoTypical]

... so I guess you guys are just gonna break up the models, take off the new pieces and put it over the Generations one, right? Was not expecting this.

That's the plan, assuming we can get the Generations model ingame.

 

[TheTTimeLives]

Just as a quick heads up to the dev team for Smash 3, please don't change your MK model too much now that he's confirmed for the new game. I don't think his new more grey armor pieces suit him that well and look kind of ugly when compared to the rest of the cast. It would be a shame to ruin your MK model (which in my opinion is one of the best ones you guys have done so far) just to be identical to the new game.

A metal texture, re-coloring the inside of the wings (there more red and differentiated from the main wing now) and adding the metal gloves would be cool, but I think the lighter/cleaner look of Meta Knight you guys made look way better than the deeper gray Meta Knight of the new game. If your going to update the model, I hope you guys at least keep the brighter tones/colors that made me really like your MK over the Brawl one in the first place.

Again, fantastic work guys as always. Just downloading the new textures now...

 

[Juken]

What do you mean? His armor looks the same except for the added gauntlets, which I think looks cool and makes more sense for a knight to have on than just gloves.

The only difference I see between the Brawl one and Smash 4 one aside from the gauntlets is the slightly different shade of blue for his skin, and that his armor is actually more like steel.

 

[PseudoTypical]

All I believe Smash 3 MK could use is the gauntlets and a spec map for the metals. I personally don't think the Smash 4 steel looks too different from Brawl, though it does look somewhat darker than Smash 3's. The body colors are fine as they currently are, but I wouldn't be upset if you guys wanted to change them for whatever reason.

 

[Rᴏb]

Aren't they redoing MK anyway? Might as well make him match his Smash 4 look now that they have a frame of reference. All that needs to be done is make a new model for the gauntlets, make all of the armor pieces have a more metallic texture and fix the colors of his wings, shoulder pads and sword.

 

[PseudoTypical]

Nano's already on the case for the gauntlets. Looks like he's building over the Brawl model, so re-texturing should be easy.

Spoiler

 

[Taiko]

Can't hide anything from you guys can we?

But yes, that's the model we'll be using. Colour edits will be minor, so you guys don't need to worry about a drastic change to Meta Knight.

 

[PseudoTypical]

Can't hide anything from you guys can we?

Ah, man. I should've considered Nano's work for the team before posting; my bad. Didn't mean to spoil anything. You guys are really quick to the punch, though.

 

[MM3K]

Mewtwo looks great, much better than what you previously showed, looking meaner than the teaser, but sleeker than the vP:M version, it's amazing!

And the armored version too! ZOMG!

 

[Morian]

Gold Armored Mewtwo now looks like gold instead of odd yellow.

New main color for mah clone.

 

[Satan-]

Wow those Mewtwo alts look beautiful. Downloaded the whole pack today.

Not sure if this has been brought up before but a Dry Bowser CSP with your SM4SH pose would be amazing. Of course, if it's not too much trouble. I just like my CSPs all looking the same and Dry Bowser feels left out.

We'll probably do a new pose for Dry Bowser (and all the other Project M alts) when we finally get around to retexturing them (which may or may not take a while)..
