Lets See What You Skoped!

[AfghanAnt]

Are you release that fx?

[Peerless1]

I've been busy (obsessing) the last few days.  Most every minute not sleeping or working has been devoted to skoping my originals.  Have #2 and #3 done...waiting for word from Renegade for #3, but here's #2!
[spoiler][/spoiler]
Adam-Ra (Armada backwards and a mis-spelling of an Egyptian pharaoh's name: Adim-Re).  He is Peerless1's arch foe.  But who is the hero?

More on the way.  :D
I  :wub: NIFSkope.  I am slow with 3Ds Max (ie: can't figure it out), and this allows me to put my puzzles together from all the awesome meshes out there!  Thanks again and forever to all for the hard work.  :agentclap

P1

It starts with Vertex's vxArchangel minus the double wings, adds the head of RA_the_God, then takes the backpack from Ink's Forge (which I think is the same as on his C6 mesh), adds gauntlets from Tommyboy's UltimateIronman_tv, two copies of the staff from TekkamanBlade (via HouseQuake and TJ), boots from Cyborg_Combat_Suit_Hex with the leg braces as his belt, and geospheres from Syn's Quasar_an.  Yes, that was a runon sentence. And yes, there is a reason why both my avatar and my arch-foe have the same weapon.  I LIKE it.  Seriously though, it has to do with the backstory for Victor (Peerless1) and Adam.  But that's for later.  My immense thanks to all whose work allowed this to be done.  You guys and gals are my HEROES.  *sniffle*   :P --I truly couldn't have done it without your fine efforts and all the help with NifSkope.  "swak" ;)
(1) If you don't know what SWAK is, then you're just a pup.  Then again, puppies are alright in my book.  Superman and Batman both had them...sort of. :D

[Peerless1]

this is a strange question... but do any of these skoped meshes take target keyframes natively or do the keyframes HAVE to be hexed in?

for example with this male_basic_2_lightsabres above... it is based on male basic so would any malebasic keyframe set work with it (natively without distortion etc) or does it have to have the keys hexed into the mesh. and if they do take the keyframes natively, is this true for all hexes based on a mesh build type such as male_basic or female_basic and their respective keys?

if so these hexes could have entire animation sets built around them as if they were whole new meshes originally designed how they were hexed.

Regarding that...I recently added Ren's Martian Manhunter to TJ's Plasticman.  My only problem is still floating bits.  In this case it is the collar.  Ren's looked more like the original character, but he is part of 4D, a 4-person "villain" group based on [spoiler]the Fantastic Four,[/spoiler]and TJ's animations reflect the character better. Also, my avatar skope seems to work with whatever keyframes work with the mesh I add it too.  Still noobish here, but WOW!
The image is small due to dialup upload speeds... Still the central mesh is MM_Ren, and this is Niles:
[spoiler][/spoiler]
OK, I'm off now to do more skoping...later!  :rolleyes:

Are you release that fx?

It's not really FX.  It's just an object you can use with the FFX crystallisation power swap.  The target gets stuck inside the object until the object is destroyed.  The object's hit points depend on the strength of the power you swapped, but you can influence things a little by what the object is made of.  (That is, a 20hp cloth object is easier to destroy than a 20hp stone object).

But yeah, I'll release it.  In fact I should release a Defenders Mod teaser FX pack...

[Peerless1]

 :agentclap  :paplease

[djfredski]

how do you attaching object using skope.

[Peerless1]

how do you attaching object using skope.

I found this very helpful:  http://freedomreborn.net/archive/index.php?topic=42245.0
I would try to explain it just now, but I know less than most others and more than I did Monday morning.  Which really means this:  I know next to nothing, but I'm learning...
Good luck Fred, pm me if I can help you.  I'll at least give it a shot.   :)

Here are some very good tuts!

[bearded]

Next is one I've been dying to see out there, but for the life of me, she is a pain in the rear to skope, let alone mesh  :P Spiral. She still needs parts, I'm having trouble with a floating helmet  Her shoulders bug me too, but I'm working on it:banghead:
For good or ill, please critique  :D

Psi

that's what i get for not checking the skope posts before uploading my spiral.  your's looks great.  i was thinking about shoulders on mine.
anyway, at the very least you should be able to skope ink's spiral helmet and other parts from my attempt onto yours.

[Peerless1]

Here's another, this one has no floaties so far as I can tell. 
KF by IPS and meshes/ skins by IPS (or are the skins Afghan's?).
[spoiler][/spoiler]
The hardest part was repositioning the particle emitter so it was on the top of the staff.  It didn't want to rotate.
Oh, heck, this is so much fun for me...here's another:  Kohl, the Eye of Ra.  Until I get a decent skin cobbled together, this image reflects that she is invisible, with laser arrows.  Mwuhahahaha!   :huh:
[spoiler][/spoiler]
Why not...the final of four...who could they be?  This is Dune, and the "mowhawk" is just a couple copies of the ponytail fram AranaHex on Ink's She Hulk with jacket from ShadowcatNewX and hood from HourmanIII by Renegade.  Jacket stays at root...????
[spoiler][/spoiler]
**More on the way soon at http://games.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/P1_FF_Skopes.  :thinkingidea  I will try to upload actual nifs within the week.  !@#$%^&*()-+ dial up!**

Ok, Pod, it seems to be fixed.  Copied the thumbnail link  :o  :doh:.

[Podmark]

Peerless, you got to make larger pics, I can barely tell what I'm looking at.

[Peerless1]

Probably the last one for a few days...

...but who can say?  :lol:

[djfredski]

 :thumbup: thank guys for the tuts and the link

[djfredski]

great job Peerless on the skope

[Peerless1]

You are most welcome, and thank you as well!  :thumbup:
Let me know when you get skoping figured out.  I am still having some difficulties, but it's fun!  :P

[BatWing]

peerless your my hero!
great scoping man :thumbup:

[Zivon23]

Here are a few I have been working on......

First
[spoiler]
I am calling it Grim Samurai.  It is Grim Hogan with Silver Samurai's katana.[/spoiler]

Next
[spoiler]
Just a regular samurai.  Jik's Deadpool with bits from Tommyboy, Vertex, and GNI[/spoiler]

[spoiler]
This is for Cripp12. It is Major Victory from Gaurdians of the Galaxy.  More GOTG skopes coming soon.  shield and coat textures came with meshes(Captain America by Gren and Jason Todd by ink.  I believe the original skinners are C6 and Ink, respectfully.  The rest is done by me)[/spoiler]

Lastly
[spoiler]
Can you guess the meshes used? :)  This was a real headache for me cause It just wasn't working out :banghead:.  Then I asked Style for some help and while I was waiting for Style to finish helping, I figured it out myself.  BTW Style, Thanks.[/spoiler]

Comments needed/ welcomed.  I need feedback so I can improve. ;)

[Peerless1]

Looking good so far Z.  I really like the katana on taskmaster.  :thumbup:  :cool:  :thumbup:

Here is the "final version" of Adam-Ra...vxAdamRa:

The real deal will be available for download at http://games.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/P1_FF_Skopes soon
(if it stops timing out on the upload).

And thanks for the compliments all.  Criticism as well is welcome, so long as it's not just flippant remarks  :huh:  :D .

[Jakew]

hey Zivon, i like that last Taskmaster mesh ... modern Green Arrow perhaps? Cool stuff.

[djfredski]

 :o Major Victory look great. thank to the skop alot of heros are coming to life.

[djfredski]

 :banghead:  :banghead:  :banghead: still  can't attach parts. what is it's that i am doing wrong?

[Peerless1]

Well here is my first skope by request, but I can't seem to upload to my yahoo group (only less than 350kb goes).

The skin is Aly Cat's beautiful Katana from NPI, I just slapped it in the standard folder for the feel.  I  :wub: :wub: :wub: Aly's style.

So...here is DC's Katana One Year Later...
[spoiler][/spoiler]

Still kinda beta...really difficult to capture her new half trench coat or waist cape...tried 4 different ways...this was best...

She's looking kinda buff these days, so it was Ink's She Hulk on his Psylocke_JimLee2 uses P2 keyframes...others in readme if the thing ever gets to Yahoo Group...
Look for Soviet Super Soldier's Ursa Major (which will take a lot longer).

[style]

You know we had to do a remix right :P:



He uses the new VX_Dr_Fate_Classic Keyframes! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Mad MAd Props gotta go To Vertex, Tommyboy, and C6!!! ;)

[Peerless1]

Wow, Style, you are amazing! 

Any pointers on what I can use for this? (reference pic)
http://f9g.yahoofs.com/groups/g_20287255/7aed/__sr_/c718.jpg?grI04WGBO7Xj1Gq1

I can't figure out the half trenchcoat or waist-cape or whatever.  :banghead: (See previous entry above, please.)

Never mind  I think I found it.

[Zivon23]

I know someone requested this somewhere......I just got done watching episode 3 so  figured I would wip this out......

What do y'all think?

Zivon23

[Peerless1]

Z, is there supposed to be a picture with your post?  :unsure: I can't see it.  :( And I'd like to.  :)

[cripp12]

Z, is there supposed to be a picture with your post?  :unsure: I can't see it.  :( And I'd like to.  :)

I think it could be who Z posts with. 

[Peerless1]

Ok, now I see it.  *umm--wow*

It looks great.  :thumbup: I think it may be my connection.  No image links from yahoo work for me just now.  :wacko:  I can't even see MY avatar.

[Zivon23]

If  you can't see the pic, try clicking the link just below the pic.

This is possibly the best skope I've done so far Keyframe wise!!! :blink:





The Book only apears in the hover animations!!! :thumbup:

Thanks to Tommyboy, Ink, Vertex, C6, and M25 for his new keyframe program! ;)
