Possible Projects Interest

Awesome   I'll do an alt skin for it maybe tomorrow.

Great Dean. Cranlox sent one over already, as well as his Xanatos mesh. I'm going to try to do a head swap of Xanatos onto the robot body.

A couple of other things;

1) I connected my tablet to my computer to check out the Sorcerer's Arena files. It looks I have all the models from the game, but they're in Unity format. I'm not to familiar with that so that basically stops me there - too much effort to get into for just a couple of models. If anyone else if familiar with it though...

2) Going through the hard drive and looking at some files. Possible next project after Gargoyles ....

I've also got a Fearless Leader and a Dudley Doright that might work. No Boris, Natasha, moon men, Snidley or Peabody and Sherman though.

[cranlox]

I am not familiar with converting Unity files, if you have a specific model file in Unity I can ask a former colleague to see if he can do something.
It's the only thing I can offer you.
I see if I have anything of those you mention, I have had a time when I saved many tights with the idea that they would be useful for someone but they are quite disordered and lately whenever I look for something I can't find it.

I have these if you still want them, it has the retexture in the style of the new movie.

[Randomdays]

Cranlox - Thanks - Send them on over - Like you, I keep many things that might be useful later.

[cranlox]

I've already sent them to you, give me a few minutes

[Randomdays]

I wasn't go to do Demona, but after checking out the older version and comparing it to the new Goliath and Dean's new skins, I wanted something closer in style to them.

Almost done except some work on the hands. I used "female_basic_wings" for the rigging source, so the wings are must more active than they were with Goliath.

That's looking pretty awesome RD!

[Randomdays]

Disney Games usually have great graphics - the gameplay may be good or bad, but they look nice at least.

[deanjo2000]

Very nice

[Randomdays]

Fixed up afew rigging issues with Demona and shrunk/ flexed her hands a bit.

Transplanted the head from Cranlox's Xanatos onto the Steel Clan armor - 2 different skins came with it - Thanks Cranlox!

Added the red Xanatos armor as an alternate skin for the Steel Clan robot.

Uploaded all. Created a new folder - "Dizney" - for these and any future projects from the mouse house.

That's about all I can do with what I've found on the net. With what Dean is working on we should have most of the main characters - just need a few more villains.

The Lonely Robot

Jellyman made a Bender robot all the way back in 2002. Since then, as far as I know, no other character from the show has been done.

As part of my ongoing project I found a bunch of models for the characters from the show online. There's the PS2 game also, but I'm not sure if that's accessible for models.

Even without the game, there's a lot to choose from.

The first model I did was Bender's best friend - Fry. Most of the models are "stl" 3d print files which are hard to work with, very high poly, and aren't set up for skinning.

For Fry, I simplified him a bit with poly reduction and used the mesh and skin for the legs and feet from Nick - "Civilian Boy 2", and the arms/ sleeves from JFoam's Kato

He's rigged to Tommyboy's "trek_t" armature/ kfs and will come with a rifle, a pistol and a handy can of slurm when done.

Also (of course) just about the time I finally got done rigging him, I found a much lower poly version in a pack that looks great.I'll be doing that version as well.

It's in XNALara format - something new to me but very popular at the moment - so I had to grab another graphic program to be able to convert to something for Blender.

There's a pic below of both versions - the rigged, mixed, stl base is on the left, and the  newer unrigged version is on the right. Below that is a link to the XNALara files of the characters that are available in that format.

Look for some more Futurama fun in the future. Hypnotoad says so!

[deanjo2000]

Good news indeed!!

[Randomdays]

Slurm?  Take my money!

The second Fry is fully rigged, but seems a little wonky around the hips. The Slurm can is done, but I still need to replace the trek pistol and rifle with some generic ones.

[cranlox]

Very nice work RD, were you able to see and receive the Chip & Dale squirrel tights well?
I love how the protagonist of Futurama looks.

[Randomdays]

Thanks Cranlox.

Yes, I did...thanks for those.

[Randomdays]

Just uploaded both Fry's to the new Futurama folder.

For some reason nifs work fine in FF1, but not FFvt3R, so included versions for both games

character - FFvt3R

charater 1 - FF

I think Leela is next to round out the trio.

[Randomdays]

I Found 4 models of Leela to work with

One is an stl file, the other is a high poly fbx, so I'm counting those out.

Below is a pic pf the other two for comments. I'm leaning towards the one on the right.

[deanjo2000]

Yea the right one looks slightly better.

[crosspotts1.0]

Awesome

[Randomdays]

Leela is now ready to join Planet express and has been uploaded to the mega site

Two versions again, 1 for each game. It looks like I can get rid of the model shine in FF, but doing so breaks it for FF2. So, FF2 is shiny for now.

In FF1, during her special actions, her head doesn't move or turn, but it works fine in FF2. Of course that's in the character viewers, it may work fine in game.

Uses the same sf rifle and pistol as Fry. I had a hard time deciding what to give her for her "special" item, as she's not into Slurm or beer. I was going to use a hand scanner, but couldn't find a good model, so I reskinned a box of popcorn into "Fishy Joe's Poplers.

[deanjo2000]

Brilliant 

[Randomdays]

Thanks Dean.

If anyone has any suggestions for "special" items for the other characters, send them over. About the only one I can think of might be a slice of anchovy pizza for Zoidberg


First draft of Chip - completely unrigged at the moment. I'll probably go with a simple male_basic, adjusted for the long body and short legs.

Edit - maybe instead Toad or one of the other "jumping" animation ones - even male_draconis has those animations

The separate texture for the fur collar will need its alpha turned on.

About 14k polys at the moment, in multiple pieces. I'll see if I can bring it down.

[Randomdays]

So far for Futurama I ahve the following to choose from, depending on if I can them to import -

Amy/ the Professor/ Zoidberg/ Scruffy/ Zap Brannigan/ Kif/ Slurms Mackenzie/ Herms and Labarbara

Calculon/ Nibbler/ Lyrr/ the Donbot/ Clamps/ Joey/ Mom/ Robot Santa/ Hypnotoad/ The Blob

The Crushinator/ Roberto/ the Robot Devil/ maybe a couple more

The Planet Express ship and building/ a Slurm soda machine/ the suicide booth/ The project Satan car

WhatI  don't have so far, if at all - Mom's three sons/ Linda and Morbo/ Wernstrom!/ Elzar

[Randomdays]

Chip is finally done, though he's a bit of a mess, held together with bandaids and duct tape.

He needs to be shrunk down to chipmunk size and have a readme done.

Anyone who wants to help with him, the alpha on his jacket collar needs to be turned on for transparency.

Also;

1) I found a good pack of a lot of models from the Looney Tunes game "World of MAyhem", so I'm looking a that.

2) I found a pack of all the Wacky Races vehicles from the Wii game "Crash and Dash" . They're a little low poly, but have the drivers in the cars. The other games out there are either not looking good for the drivers, Or I can't get the models. The best source would be the PS2 game "Mad Motors". I' can't get the models ripped myself though, and there are none on the web.

[Randomdays]

Here's Dasterdly and Muttley in the Mean Machine. After having so much trouble with Chip, it was nice to do something easy with no animation.

Due to the way the model was done, I doubled the faces and flipped the new ones to make them them double sided, otherwise there was too much of the inside being transparent when the outside was seen.

The model uses the trick of making a skin for only half of the mesh and mirroring the skin onto the other half - sometimes the seam in the middle comes thru

I'll need someone to apply transparency to the skin for the fins if possible please.

I also split off the glass canopy and brought it back with transparency on.

[Randomdays]

Chip and Mean Machine uploaded to the Megasite.

Chip is in the Dizney folder and the Mean Machine is in the new "Classic Cartoons" folder.

Pics below of both in game.

[deanjo2000]

They look amazing. Great work.

[cmdrkoenig67]

Those look great, RD!

[Randomdays]

Thanks guys.

I'm looking at doing a Darkwing Duck Villain next - Bushroot.

I found an stl file of him and poly reduced the heck out of it - from 1.5+ million
 to about 3 thousand.

But instead of doing the whole mesh I'd figure I'd try to just do the head and skope it onto a male_basic mesh with simple color skins for each of the 4 parts of the head, since I still don't know how to set up a uv. I'll have to look, but I might be able to swap out the beak with one from another mesh. Maybe everything but the hair could be swapped out with a normal skinned mesh, like SA's Darkwing Duck.

So before I try to do a basic reskin of the body, is there anyone out there who's like to skin it?

[deanjo2000]

I don't know anything about darkwing duck. For beaks though I think SA has some good duck stuff on his site. My plates full with other projects but can always add to my never ending list.
