Saturday Morning Adventures Prep

[BentonGrey]

Howdy folks, I am starting the early stages of my Saturday Morning Adventures mod, just doing some collection of materials so I can hit the ground running this summer when I actually have time to work on things.  I'll use this thread to start gathering.

Here is the Doc for my collaborators:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PSxCDK6fICqZlrExydkR4cGupbFsp5TPWcMbpeqYKj8/edit?usp=sharing

And here is the Mediafire folder which we can use to trade files.  I've gone ahead and uploaded the skopes that need tweaking for Mondo Gecko, Krang, and Leatherhead.

I have not seen Agent Bishop, and I only saw models of Bucky O'Hare characters, not converts.

[Randomdays]

Benton, as I said in the message I replied to, hit me up with what you need and I'll help where I can.

No Bucky O' Hare seen here either. The only models out there I saw was him, his ship and a toad ship. Maybe Dean or SA can help if they're available.

No Agent Bishop that I know of, but maybe Dean with that, or I could try to make him with the Sims 3 creator - he doesn't look to strange to do.

[DoctorRuina]

This was an interesting character. I liked this version of TMNT from 2003.

[BentonGrey]

Thanks, I wasn't sure if those had been done yet.

[deanjo2000]

I'm going to do some purple dragon thugs very soon. Will just be some randoms though.

[BentonGrey]

Awesome, Dean!  Yeah, that's all I need.  I'm not going to do anything major with them, mostly just use them as a source for lore-appropriate cannon fodder.  I might tie them in to Mondo Gecko's intro, but randos will work just fine for that.

[BentonGrey]

Okay folks, I've added some links in the first post for the people helping me out.

[Randomdays]

This is what I have for the Galaxy Rangers;

And Bravestar;

And a Berbel I don't have;

 There's not a Snarf in FF yet, but I have a file for him. He might be hard to reduce and use though

Since they're stl images, I would have to reduce the polycount quite a bit and setup simple textures for them after breaking them up into pieces. Alternatives would be just taking the heads for the humans and putting them on standard bodies so they could use FF skins, or have someone skope them together

[Randomdays]

Others on your list;

Giant Krang - should be easy just to enlarge him in nifskope or Blender

Leatherhead and Mondo Gecko - maybe moved on onto the Spiderman villain Lizard mesh for animations, unless you can think of something else that would fit

Captain Planet - If you can get a hold of Windblown to get his Planeteers released. There are stl filed for most of the villains out there.

Toxic Crusaders and Tigersharks - Just done recently by Dean

[BentonGrey]

This is what I have for the Galaxy Rangers;

https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/miniatures/figurines/galaxy-ranger

You're the best judge on how difficult it would be to import them.  They should be relatively easy to skope, as their designs aren't too complicated.  Goose would definitely go on the gunslinger mesh.

And Bravestar;

https://www.deviantart.com/bbmbbf/art/Bravestarr-STL-3d-printing-ready-files-809962636

I know Dean did 30-30, but didn't he do Bravestarr too?

And a Berbel I don't have;

Cool, I had no idea there would be a model out there for these little robo-furballs.

I'm really surprised there's not a Snarf yet.  That's definitely one we'll need.  I'll add him to the list.  He should be a relatively simple mesh, I'd think.  Maybe SA can do him when he comes back.  He might be skope-able.  I think the real challenge is the body.  I feel like there is something that would work; I just can't think of it. The head and ears could use existing elements.  Since he's not really an action character, more like a civilian, animation variety won't be much of a problem.

Style, what do you think?

Giant Krang - should be easy just to enlarge him in nifskope or Blender

Indeed, but the issue with Krang isn't just enlarging.  I've actually done that with Nifskope, but it made his keys rather weird, and I would also like some giant-style keys for him.  I think the solution will be to port his skope pieces and skin over to a Giantman mesh, but I am open to ideas.

Leatherhead and Mondo Gecko - maybe moved on onto the Spiderman villain Lizard mesh for animations, unless you can think of something else that would fit

Leatherhead: Leatherhead's skope and skin are from Daglob, so I'm looking to preserve them as much as possible.  He's currently built on Bishop, I think, which provides his gun anims.  I'm not sure what's compatible with that.  Interestingly, it seems that Daglob included a Max file for him.  While I'd like to have more melee options for him (and more bruiser-ish options at that), I can deal with his keys as is.  The most significant issue is that his tail is too long.  I assume that could be shrunk in Blender?

Mondo: SA made a custom mesh and some custom keys for him (he's got a nice tongue attack).  Once again, I'm not sure what keys would be compatible that we could draw from, but there's probably something.  I would like someone to do some experimentation for me.

Captain Planet - If you can get a hold of Windblown to get his Planeteers released. There are stl filed for most of the villains out there.

Toxic Crusaders and Tigersharks - Just done recently by Dean

Read my mind; I already sent WB a message.  We'll have to see if he'll get back to me.

As for TC and Tigersharks, I did indeed see Dean's awesome work.  Their inclusion is purely down to whether or not I have time to build their characters.

[BentonGrey]

I just heard from SA, and it seems like he's probably out for the foreseeable future.  I'm going to try to see if he can send me the pieces he had in progress, but we'll have to manage without his skills for the moment.

[Randomdays]

Sad to hear that about SA, but I knew he's been having health problems. I wish him well

[deanjo2000]

These are some of the purple dragons im working on.

[spydermann93]

Shell yeah!

You even got dem bebops and rocksteadys

[Randomdays]

Great Job Dean!

[BentonGrey]

Haha, Spyder, that's perfect.

Dean, those guys look amazing!  I love the human Bebop and Rocksteady!  I am ABSOLUTELY going to have to put them in the mod now.  I was just going to work around their human forms, but that's too awesome to pass up!

The rest of the Dragons are looking perfect!  If you can give me a couple of options for random skins for the rank-and-file, that'll be excellent.

In other news, I heard from Detourne_me, who is going to take a look at the Transformers keys.  We're making progress, folks!

Style, RD, with SA out, we will need a Party Wagon (Turtle Van).  What do y'all think in terms of options there?  I've added an entry on our Doc with some reference pics.  It seems to me we should be able to skope something together. 

[Randomdays]

Benton, if you check my main thread, Cranlox just linked a turtle wagon.

Plus, I already have one in files. Probably from dm's turtle files on his backup site.

Yep, in here...some good cannon fodder too.

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/zrcb90e5nk6cb/Blender_Imports

In the character backup folder

[BentonGrey]

RD, sheesh!  I knew I had missed some TMNT stuff, but I had forgotten how much amazing stuff y'all have imported and created!  And I somehow completely missed Cranlox's post of the Party Wagon!  Well, that's one down!  I'll experiment with the mesh, but my guess is all that I'll really need is someone to rig some weapon points on the guns and missile launcher.

In that case, Style, RD, what do y'all think about Wingnut and Screwloose?

[Randomdays]

Don't forget to look at the other wagon - it might be ready to go.

I'll have to look at those guys and see. Probsbly Dean or Style might be better at that.

[BentonGrey]

Thanks, RD.  Yeah, I checked it out.  I think Cranlox's is a better fit, more like the cartoon, which is the aesthetic I'm mostly using.

Cool, we can each play to our strengths in this.

[deanjo2000]

Another off the list.

[spydermann93]

Looks like Corsair and Hepzibah finally had a kid

I almost fell out of my chair at this.

I was gonna say Deathlok with lycanthropy

[BentonGrey]

Haha!  Very apt, Spyder and PG!

Dean, man, he looks fantastic!  I love the detail of the cigar and that you've even got his cool future gun.  Great work, man!

[BentonGrey]

New question, folks: What has been made for Thundercats?  I know we've got all the Cats (I think we even have the three new ones), as well as Mum-Ra and the Mutants.  I think we're missing Vulture-man, or rather, he has been made, but the skin/skope has been lost. 

Do we have the Lunatacs or Hammerhand's crew?  I can't check my files right now, as I'm traveling. 

[Randomdays]

I asked for Vultureman a while back and I think I have it. I'll have to look.

We have a map with the Cat's lair on it, and I took a couple of the cats and put them in a Thundertank I brought in

[DoctorRuina]

And Hun, the Purple Dragons leader?

[Randomdays]

Bevo did a Vultureman. I have it if you need it.

Lunatics - there's some free stl files of some of them in bust form here. We'd have to skin them and put them on a body

https://www.printables.com/@hervingarciaa_951869/models

There are stls of Hammerhand and Grune, but they're not free.

Edit - Dean did a Grune
