Whoa, sounds awesome...
Your entire tutorial series is pretty much THE "How-To" for Brawl Hacking at this rate.
By the way, would you recommend Blender at all as a model creation/editing program? Especially for our purposes with Brawl modding? It's pretty much the only one I have actual modeling experience in, although my knowledge is currently rather limited.
That, and 3DS Max is a bit pricey unless you download the trial, which is only 30 days. Or the student trial which is 3 years, but I'm not 'technically' a graphic arts student or anything, lol.
