Cassandra (Soul Calibur 3) - Developers

As long as people are making Soul Calibur requests, I might as well add my own. Specifically, Cassandra as seen in Soul Calibur 3. SC2 will do in a pinch, but not 4. SC4 was rubbish anyway... :P [img]http://ps2media.gamespy.com/ps2/image/article/608/608299/soulcalibur-iii-20050428022904924.jpg[/img] [img]http://ps2media.gamespy.com/ps2/image/article/620/620511/soulcalibur-iii-20050531113845122.jpg[/img]

We need one single thread for all the Soul Calibur stuff.

Well, I didn't see one, so I figured I'd put my oddly specific request in a new thread... surely I can't be the only one who wants this...

I really shouldn't do this... ah, what the hell. Secret Thread Necromancy Technique, Bump Resurrection!

I hate to bump this dead thread again, I just want to know if this is possible at all.

Cassandra is pretty cool, i'll bump too.

From what i hear, stuff from SC3 is difficult to get do to it not being able to run on emulators. Does anyone know exaclty what these difficulty's are?

Sophita is better. [img]http://i.ytimg.com/vi/hbE65tXT_BQ/0.jpg[/img] But on a serious note, i would love to see this model come into play. [editline]11:12PM[/editline] Casandra that is.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who wants this done. Also, does this count as another bump? Ah well. :P

Well someone posted another thread that had download links for all the raw SC4 character model files, and the textures to go with them. Considering how much better SC4 looked, wouldn't it be better to port her from that instead of SC3? More polygons, better textures...and better mammary... If someone decides to work on those models, then maybe you could request that they do Cassandra first. The only SC port I've ever seen was Taki from SC2. I actually downloaded the SC4 files myself but they're so unbelievably complicated that it's out of my league to even think of trying to port them to Source. So...many...flapping...clothes...

well have u got the models i will have a go at rigging em

Believe me, if I knew how to extract the models, I'd have done it ages ago! :P

there isn't enough appreciation for soul calibur.

But a problem to me is that the Textures aren't tranperent like they are in the game... I wold love to see these these eventually turned into props and ragdolls [IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/erj5sx.jpg[/IMG]

the textures are refractive. open 3dsmax add Raytrace mat with diffuse and transparency maps, then tweak the refract spinner.

I think there's a thread for that somewhere. P.S. I was specifically requesting SC3. I thought the character designs in 4 weren't very good.

[QUOTE=ed.g3.ed;23093617]the textures are refractive. open 3dsmax add Raytrace mat with diffuse and transparency maps, then tweak the refract spinner.[/QUOTE] I'm afraid thats something that I don' have, I could never afford the thing. And I'm not going to start the Trial any time soon until I can get this one game to start working right.

[QUOTE=DaSzab;23102310]I think there's a thread for that somewhere. P.S. I was specifically requesting SC3. I thought the character designs in 4 weren't very good.[/QUOTE] and i would have to agree. the faces look like all of them sucked heavily on heroin tubes as nutrient supplements between SC3 to SC4... personally, either SC3 or SC2 characters would do me justice... however, no one has said anything about hacking the game files from the Xbox version(s) since ninjahacker.net died. no vets. no l33t. just dev ownage.

I hate to necropost yet again, but if someone was able to get models from SC4 (Nerdrage!), then it can't be that hard to get them from a 5-year-old PS2 game. Think about it.

Well, you'd be surprised by that. You'd think ripping from PS2 would have a surefire way by now, but apparently not. PS2 games in general are the hardest to rip from. Only games with viewers can be ripped. However, there are ways to rip from PS2 games if done right. I for one can rip from Xenosaga Ep III to an extent. I do feel your pain and have to agree on the models of IV. Although, if worse comes to worse, I'd find someone who knows how to tweak models and simply use the P2 costume of Cassandra from IV and tweak her build (so she doesn't seem like thunder thighs) and redo the textures. Best of luck and hope this helps in some form.

Now I just need to find someone up to the task...

Alright, one more bump, let's see if this gets anyone's attention this time! And if I'm doing something wrong, feel free to tell me.

I would love to see Cassandra in it. You know it kinda stinks how there are not many sc ones around and the ones that are around are Taki ivy and Tira(not to big on them) however nightmare is cool :>

[QUOTE=drunkendan;26190532]however nightmare is cool :>[/QUOTE] He's a common favorite, Though personally I liked the SC3 Version rather then the SC2 and 4 that are avalible... :/

I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants to see this happen. I've always felt that Cassandra was one of the most under-appreciated characters in the series. One reason for that, which is actually one of the reasons I like her so much, is that when you compare her to the other female characters, she doesn't dress like a complete slut. (Her Player 2 and SC4 outfits don't count. :P) That, and she's a lot of fun to play as. I've actually done pretty well in tournaments playing as her.

I wonder how many times I've necroposted... at this point, I'm willing to accept any of 3 things: 1. Her default outfit in Soul Calibur 2 2. Her default outfit in Soul Calibur 3 3. Her secondary outfit in Soul Calibur 4 If this constant necroposting is a problem, let me know. I just want to know if any of these are possible, and possibly give model riggers some inspiration.

Well... I think I still have all of the Soull Calibur 4 Models including her but because of the ridiculous amount of textures there are for each model and alot chatacters are broken into multiple objects I'm not sure anyone would find them useful... :(

I've been trying to rig some of the Soul Calibur IV models as ragdolls, including Cassandra. I may be able to edit her 2P costume to look more like her SC3 outfit. However, as OneWingedAngel8 said, the models are broken up into objects, so it's proving rather difficult to piece them all back together again...
