[highlight]I DONT CHECK THIS THREAD ANYMORE, IF YOU HAVE LEGITIMATE QUESTIONS PLEASE PM ME[/highlight]
Well the sonic playermodels currently out there are old as shit, so I decided to create sonic playermodels for the current build of the source engine.
[URL="http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=116479"][IMG]http://www.garrysmod.org/img/?t=dll&id=116479[/IMG][/URL]
These models use the bone structure of the old V2 models
models list:
Sonic DONE!
Super Sonic DONE!
Tails DONE!
HEV sonic DONE!
my sonic models are from super smash bros brawl
and my tails model is from sonic unleashed
deal with it
I will update this thread periodically as i progress.

1/12/11
Finalizing airboat animation
1/14/11
Well the tails model is just about done there is a high probability that the entire playermodel pack will be finished by today
but i wil not be releasing the pack today for 2 reasons
1. to make my beta testers who will be recieving the finished pack today feel special
2. make sure i didnt miss anything
as far as i know im the only person to put jigglebones on a player model. the source engine does NOT handle jigglebones on playermodels well. Taking damage, driving a vehicle, switching to a camera or third person can cause jigglebones to rotate 180 degrees and they fix and re orient themselves as spontainiously as they break (occasionally dying will fix them) this is a problem with the engine itself and i will email valve and facepunch about the problem
1/14/11 5:57 (EST)
DONE!!! THE ENTIRE PROJECT IS DONE!!!
Thank you facepunch for your support for the past 4 months

[QUOTE=shad0w440;25404955]why in an HEV suit? because i thought it would be epic :P[/QUOTE]
:frog:
Nice!
so far the hardest part has been trying to find an exporter from gmax to XSI that DOSENT dump all of the texture data
luckily i found one that works about half the time
and thats good enough for me
I guess I should say good luck.
[QUOTE=HyperTails;25410131]I guess I should say good luck.[/QUOTE]
thanks i will need it
after im finished with hev sonic i will rig regular sonic and tails (which are the only two brawl ragdolls i could find)
Cool! Please, no matter what opposing comments people make, do not quit this. I don't expect you to get this done in a week, but don't give up. I support you and finishing these models!
awesome man, hope you keep on this, the sonic player models definitely could use an update considering these current ones are way outdated. good luck and hope to see more on this
You should keep the ragdoll stable, and capable of posing.
[QUOTE=Corruptendo;25416855]You should keep the ragdoll stable, and capable of posing.[/QUOTE]
i intend to use the old bone and weightmap structure from the V2 playermodels and apply them to a new mesh
the mesh is finger and face posable
you can expect them to be as posable as the V2 playermodels
V2 models flip the fuck out though.
[QUOTE=Minimole;25422132]V2 models flip the fuck out though.[/QUOTE]
its either the old skeleton or i make 242 animations and i really dont want to do that 4 times let alone once :/
besides im fixing the phymodel for that
[QUOTE=shad0w440;25412924]shadow (maybe)[/QUOTE]
Whats the Matter with shadow? Honestly He's kinda the only character who actually fits with Guns, is his animations more difficult to fix or is there another reason?
[QUOTE=OneWingedAngel8;25422288]Whats the Matter with shadow? Honestly He's kinda the only character who actually fits with Guns, is his animations more difficult to fix or is there another reason?[/QUOTE]
I have nothing agains shadow it just depends if im still willing to create more models since (if i decide to do shadow) he will be thae last model for the pack and it depends if im not totally exausted from modeling all the others
Good luck people who rate dumb's are sonic haters just ignore them.
[QUOTE=Minigun;25423394]Good luck people who rate dumb's are sonic haters just ignore them.[/QUOTE]
I love sonic. I just pretend anything post 1994 doesn't exist.
Looks pretty good, hope the face flexes get human bones (bones used by the Citizens for example, Alyx has these too)
Seeing this is awesome. I hope you finish it and do what I couldn't do: Give GMod some decent Sonic Player models.
When I first "made" V1, I only had a lua script to make them accessible on the menu. Then, once people kept complaining about how they couldn't figure out where the models were I made V2 and included the models I found. It's a good thing I did, as far as I know the models I used are now off the site except for my V2...
Anyway, I hope you succeed, my friend. And eventually, maybe make some NPCs.

I rated dumb because the OP seems very immature.
[QUOTE=~ZOMG;25438607]I rated dumb because the OP seems very immature.[/QUOTE]
i didnt see anything in his post that would make him come off as immature, he has a legitimate project started and he knows what he's doing from what i can tell seeing as he posted screens of his model thus far. at least he wasn't like "hai gais, so liek, i has this idea for making new sonic player models XDDDDDDD, i think it would be sooooo awsum but i dont know what im doing lol"
anyways, how IS the progress shad0w440? i know it's only been a day but this is just really awesome
[QUOTE=supersonic88;25445550]anyways, how IS the progress shad0w440? i know it's only been a day but this is just really awesome[/QUOTE]
well i found a working SMD exporter for gmax (seeing as the one that came with my SMD importer was broken) exported the smd and imported to Softimage with textures intact
but since i distorted the original mesh so much i guess im gonna have to make new textures anyway i might post more pics ofi it but i dont want to untill i have textures fixed ... maybe ill post the texture sheet i got so far
[QUOTE=supersonic88;25445550]i didnt see anything in his post that would make him come off as immature[/QUOTE]
How about all the spelling mistakes, hidden swear words and the very fact this is a thread for [i]Sonic[/i] models?
... and not only Sonic, but Sonic in a HEV suit (because it's "epic") and all the faggot characters they made after Sonic & Knuckles.

I really don't want to go off topic, but who honestly looks for spelling mistakes? You're on the internet, not in school. Grammar doesn't really make a whole lot of difference as long as you get what someone's saying. As for sonic, a lot of people grew up with sonic. It doesn't really make them immature to want to see their childhood icons as non-glitchy player models. I'm not even gonna get into the whole "faggot characters after sonic & knuckles" thing. yes i agree the characters after s&k were not on the same level of quality as the earlier characters, but that by no means makes them "faggots". That's all a matter of opinion and you're intitled to yours, but its better to keep those to yourself (not that you should as that's up to you) cause then you just come off as the "asshole" type. <<;;
rant over. anyways back on topic..
shad0w, status update? how's the texture issue going.
quick edit: any more off topic replies i'll make sure not to respond to, lets keep this thread about the player models and try not to stir away from that.
Havent updated this thread in a week... been too busy wokin on the models made pictures smaller :)
Progress is looking pretty nice, shad0w. Hope to see more eventually.

That's no excuse to bash.
for some reason the range animations and reload animations (which are only supposed to affect the upper part of the body) affect the whole model and i tried making a weightlist and it dident work
thats brawl version for playermodel
first video footage of my progress is up and running
I think I opened a portal to polygon hell :S doin some weightmap touchups for the final version fingers are really fucked up
