Piranha Plant

Pyritie: Mesh has a few holes, cylinders have too many sides (maximum 8 on the pipe, maximum 6 on the stem), unwrap is crap on the mouth part (wtf did you even try?), poly count is too high, anims are too slow, shader's screwed up again.

Pyritie: Changes not made, resource rejected. If you ever get around to fixing this, feel free to resubmit it.

Horribly high poly, model like this could've had 300 triangles or less.

 

[varsaigen]

Sorry. I did the best that I could, while keeping it looking good and resembling a piranha plant.

 

[HappyTauren]

No, you made a 12 stack for nothing, where it should've been 4 at max.

 

[varsaigen]

12 stack? What do you mean by 12 stack? Do you mean the bones?

 

[HappyTauren]

...
The bottle, it is verpolied.

 

[Pyritie]

He means the cylinder pipe has too many polies, vertically.

3-stack:

6-stack:

 

[varsaigen]

oh. :/ ok. I can fix that. Thanks.

 

[Devine]

awmagawd look at teh pollies ... Nothing can stand up to that abonomation! not even ... nvm ... lower the pollies and your fine.

 

[Pyritie]

Also, it's "Piranha", not "Piramha".

spam ftw...


some imporvements woul dbe nice:

-mouth has unwrap Problems i think, or, did you want those black streams there?

-below the mouth theres a problem with the stem

-any leaves.

could be a very nice model =)

 

[varsaigen]

Yeah, I don't know why it hasn't fixed the spelling of Piranha

Devinearmy, I am working to lower that, starting with the pipe.

I chose not to add the leaves as I had already entered the animation stage... The streams were not my fault and for some reason I was unable to fix them... If someone is able to fix it and manages, I would be thankful and add them to the credits as well.

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Good Idea, but you need some more work on it...

 

[varsaigen]

I know... I am in the middle of fixing what I can...

 

[Zerox]

Wow really good. I'm so downloading this. It'll be a perfect addition to my Mario collection.

 

[Emm-A-]

varsaigen, come on. Please try to add leaves, when your done with the fixing, you have added them already in the blp file

 

[varsaigen]

Fine, but I don't know what it'll do to the animations...

Edit: Eh... I have decided not to add them in because that would require me to remake the entire thing, and honestly, I've remade it 2-3 times now...

 

[varsaigen]

~BUMP~ I realized I hadn't updated it and I am having a few issues trying to keep the animations from bugging as I lower the poly count.

 

[Pyritie]

You might want to fix up the texture while you're at it... it should have white lips, not grey.

 

[varsaigen]

Ok. I will see what I can do. Thanks

 

[varsaigen]

~Bump~ Just a note that I am doing my best to see if I can solve the problem

 

[Mamma_Pappa]

Remove the pipe, and when used in a map, you should add DanVanOhllus pipe instead =/

 

[Emm-A-]

when you want to use it as a unit, there must be the pipe already included-.-!

 

[varsaigen]

... I don't know how to repair the animations if I remove the piep. I have already done that and the anims were screwed.

Besides, I would have to reanimate it then so it would have a walk anim. And I have already done enough anims on this...

Edit: Poly count lowered. Pipe fixed.

 

[Pyritie]

I'll take a look at it as soon as I get some free time, if someone else doesn't get to it first.

 

[varsaigen]

ok. Thanks Pyritie.

 

[shamanyouranus]

The anims are pretty hirrible. Make it like the tidal guardian, animation wise

 

[varsaigen]

... I don't know the bone structure of the tidal gaurdian. And I'm not changing the animations. They match the model well. Besides, I'm trying to match it to the common piranha plant anims found in Super Mario 64 (I have it. That's why the anims are simular to it.) And the death anim I felt like doing because it looked cool. And the Stand-3 was kind of a mockery of the SMW (super mario world) piranha plants that go up and down out of the pipes.

So, my answer to your request is: No

 

[shamanyouranus]

Well, ok. Keep it looking horrible if you want. And by the way, there are random black lines all over the piranha plant's mouth. What gives?

 

[varsaigen]

Yeah, I can't seem to fix those. I don't know why, but they won't wrap. D:

 

[shamanyouranus]

Hmm, odd, very odd indeed

 

[Deathager]

Looks like mario thing hehe.. nice

 

[Baelnorn]

huhu. lool... model 4 mario fan(atic)s

 

[Zerox]

Looks like mario thing hehe.. nice

Hmm, odd, very odd indeed
