Correct. We actually used Nano's Generations Sonic model and optimized it, but the process is as you say. Import the model and bones, fit the model to the bones, and rig. As for Sonic's expressions, his mouths are done like other characters with swapped faces (Marth, Ike, etc.) where the animation hides and unhides the models depending on the animation.

To create the other faces, you'd need to create each face somehow, most likely by vertexing the main one to look how you want them. FS eyes are much easier, as you only need to duplicate the eyes and move them above the normal eyes.

And of course you can include it in your pack!

Thanks for the feedback. I look forward to trying this. But I have another question, if you don't mind. The Sonic Generations files can be large. There's a Vector the Crocodile over Bowser that can't even open in Project M for that reason. Is there some way to compress files so that they're not too big?

Check the textures, you can try halving the biggest ones to reduce filesize a lot.

I can't seem to find if this question has been asked before, but why doesn't this work with 3.5?

issues with the new way that Yoshi's eggs load the actual colors corresponding to the costume, as well as for Mario's cape and some issues with Link's ocarina boosting filesize a bit

This, and the interface elements aren't added yet, which would cause a crash when selecting the new costume slots P:M 3.5 added. You can make things work with some manual editing though.

Okay a recolor idea came into mind and it's for good ol' Doctor Mario: a recolor based on the classic outfit worn by Matt Smith during his run as Doctor Who.

And yes the bow-tie should be red...

A good old Pokemon battle. Lucario seems to look a bit different too?

EDIT: Wait I've used this angle before haven't I...oh well.

Yes! Glad someone noticed. It's based off his newest colouring in games like X/Y and Omega Ruby / Sapphire. If someone out there is going "but I liked green Ivy!" then we've still got you covered:

Just to remind everyone the sheer size of the update:
Smash 3 CSS.png

Anyone who's depicted on here is complete and/or will be getting some minor touch ups.
Anyone not depicted will be getting remastered and/or will be getting updated to match the new Smash 3 style.

There's actually an Old Snake mod I've wanted to use over Solid Snake, but the creator told me that I had to reduce the file size in order for it to work in Project M.

...He never told me how. So, by halving the biggest files, what exactly do you mean? I've never really messed around with pac/pcs files except when making Excalibur Sonic recolors with Photoshop.

He probably meant the texture files that are mainly used for the upper/lower body.

I thought King Dedede was getting another update because they perfected his eyes (again)? Am I crazy?
Also, I'm not sure how complete Yoshi can be considered. Yeah, he looks fantastic, but his eggs have that bizarre texture in 3.5.

The wait for this to be fixed when 4.0 comes out and breaks a bunch of stuff is going to be miserable.

Finally a new character. I really can't wait for this to be done, especially Samus and Charizard...and Ridley trophy DLC.

And if that character leak is true (honestly, not getting hopes up), then I'll go through a Mobius Strip of happiness and annoyance for ten minutes straight.

And i would go play a certain commonly hated game if that one version of leak is true, but its better to not speak of it even though its well known already.

That's why I said "Anyone who's depicted on here is complete and/or will be getting some minor touch ups."...

Yeah Taiko, showing some progress previews to prove people we are not dead is a horrible idea and its unfair. What were you thinking? #sarcasm
Have a little patience Knight of the Metal spam "hayayayah" butter blade. We said it multiple times, and I will say it again, we will deliver even if we have to explode some stuff to get to it.

Slight update on our status! Real life has been keeping us all really busy, so we haven't had time to work on anything at all. However, I'm here to reveal the much anticipated release date...


At least I can guarantee we'll be done by then! If not...well...I don't know yet. But it'll be here by then!

D*mn, that image loaded for like 6 minutes...And then turns out its a joke. More-or-less. I guess it will be packed with Half-Life 3 and somehow be linked to Illuminati (and aliens of course), huh?
