Peach WIP

[Caeyra]

When I was making my Zelda skin, looking at the walk animation for the female villager, it reminded me of Princess Peach. So I decided I'd make her, next (and then forgot and made a skin for Jaina instead xD). I finally got round to starting today and this is what I have so far:

Things to do:

• Finish bottom of skirt
• Finish top & add jewel thingy
• Gloves
• Add lace
• Fix face (her expression looks weird to me)
• General tidying/finishing touches

Any comments/suggestions/huge glaring mistakes?

Thanks for looking. =D

wow, you're an excellent artist, but heres some critiques... only to help you, it looks acceptable as is btw. lol

anyways the wrap on the back looks a bit odd, may just be a model problem though also some of the shading on the "ruffled" part of the bottom section of the dress looks a little "sloppy" maybe touch it up a bit... other than that- excellent texture!!
amazing :]

 

[Caeyra]

Thanks for the advice, got to work it a little today, but there's still so much to do. I'm thinking I'm being far to detailed doing this, and it's seeming to be a hard habit to break.

It works perfectly, the lacey stuff is a nice touch. The wrap kinda clips at the waist though, so maybe you should give her a sash or something?

Oh, and what's that line on the hair?

 

[Caeyra]

The one on the right to the face? Or somewhere else?

I like this one a lot, even though it won't fit with most of the other Mario resources around here, but, this could be used for any princess and not just Peach.

Indeed and that's why it's so awesome :O

Or some random posh woman who likes pink a little too much.

Is it possible to alpha out a pattern at the bottom of the dress so that it fits those semicircle things?

Awesome idea, thanks.

It works in the viewer:

But not in game:

Am I doing something wrong? I'm still fairly new to all this.

 

[~Void~]

Hmm... it should work in game, try reloading the editor?

 

[Caeyra]

No change. =/

I've tried double checking that I've imported the right skin, and I edited another with alpha scribbled all over, that one had no effect either.

Edit: I just tried applying the skin to another model, and the alpha worked just fine. Is it possible the Female Villager model just doesn't support alpha-ing out parts? I could be completely wrong, but that's all I can think of.

 

[~Void~]

Maybe, I dunno. If you can't alpha out the bottom, though, you might want to add a different pattern to cover up that solid pink there.

 

[A.R.]

That's right, the VillagerWoman model doesn't support alpha. You can get around that by setting its transparency to 1% through triggers, but there may be some side effects.

To do this:

Create a new action, select Animation from the dropdown box, select Change Unit Vertex Colouring from the second dropdown box, then set the transparency to 1% or 0.1% whichever works best for you.

Thanks so much for the tip.

Does she look like she's floating to anyone? If she does, I can bring the pale trim down lower.

amazing texture! you're really talented.

I like the details, and whole skin, but I always curse Blizz's wraping
