[wip] 3D objects and playersprite render

Post by meway »

The purpose of this is for easy animation implementation I originally got this idea from kage, jaxad0127 and freeyorp. I than put the 3D file to use after speaking with Axltrozz. Anyone is free to use these files. The final output image is gpl. -Meway

The program used was Blender 3D Beta version 2.55
The file format is .Blend
Download: http://meway.webs.com/full%20figure.blend

Edit: fixed some grammar.

I came up with this with slight modification of the render by reducing the amount of shades and size.

I messed with the colors a bit and outlining in this image. I find that it looks much better than the original. Fixes are a need to do thing when scaling down in ms paint :p

I am a bit sceptical about this. I don't think that rendered images will fit into our graphic style.

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.


You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

Can you be more specific? Cr1 style TMW style? Color issue? shading? perspective? lighting? To many colors?

I made the model, rendered an image, shrunk the image, Removed unnecessary shading, dyed the body to color, gave it eyes and saved it. These steps were very easy and now I have a color pallet to work off of and an easy to manipulate model.

Below is the pallet I used. It consist of 10 colors.

I need specifically whats wrong with the final output image so I can adjust it. Let me know if it looks off from the other graphics.

May this explanation help, this effort is not intended to be used as is in TMW, Meway's intention is to have a reference point for animation, but only to generate a shape and overall image not to be used as player set, also to easy the animations because 3d images once they are done they can be manipulated at will.

this means if Meway succeed creating a 3d image of the player set he can generate many different poses (and view) that the pixel art team can use to create new movements.

Hi,

As I've nothing against the technique used there, it kinda seems to me that the cgt model itself
has maybe the hips too large, and the shoulders too round.

Here is a basic example from wikipedia that I'm finding more balanced:

Just my opinion thought.

best regards.

This was something I really wanted to work on once I finished up at university. I just finished today and got on the forum to see that you beat me to the punch. Meway, we gotta work on this one together. Now that I see a modified render with reduced palette and outline I am sure that we could make more than just a template. The only thing I needed to figure out was how to modify a palette in gimp.

color select tool. Color fill bucket tool. Fill the shaded colors that look virtually the same. This should be easy if you set the opacity up a little. (manually fix outlines) By all means continue working on this please. I think it would be great.

using iru's tiles to texture an object I came up with interesting results. Have a look.

I did not take time to align everything properly because it was a test :)

Interesting stuff there meway. It would be kinda cool to use that to get 45% walls from some textures and the complex modelling of shapes to give a working base would seem to take some of the guess work out of modelling. I might have to go mess around with blender. XD
