Sonic Model - Screenshot Availble! See First post -

Redsonic · Oct 16, 2005

That's right Sonic Fans, I'm working on a sonic model...
I plan to do the following

-Sonic
-Tails
-Amy
-Shadow
-Knuckles

Why am I doing them? For my latest project, Sonic adventure online.

And i am protecting it manually, which means not even the most effective de-protecter can crack it's models glory =p

DeadDogNoGoWoof · Oct 16, 2005

and you are telling us this despite the fact we will have no access to the model....because?

Redsonic · Oct 16, 2005

Did I say that? i said the map will be protected, not the models. God =p ... of course im submitting the models to the site.

DeadDogNoGoWoof · Oct 16, 2005

And i am protecting it manually, which means not even the most effective de-protecter can crack it's models glory =p

yes, you did.

in this case, i look forward to seeing your model.

Redsonic · Oct 16, 2005

That sounded wrong. Lol jk.

Anyway, thanks. Ima start off with uhhhh Sonic.

Redsonic · Oct 16, 2005

something tells me making the animations is really gonna suck and take a long time.

Mr. Clean · Oct 16, 2005

Good luck with them. I'm looking foward to seeing them all.

Mecheon · Oct 16, 2005

Won't be able to get your models with a deprotector? Pff

I could grab your models EASY as pie with WinMPQ, but I won't want to cause they don't interest me. At all

Redsonic · Oct 16, 2005

Ah, shit

Ah, shit...I've reached a obstacle and am going to need the war3 art tools...which means i'm going to need to downgrade to 3ds max 5...

It's going to take a bit, but yeah I can afford it...the model should come out by next week though.

Redsonic · Oct 16, 2005

For now , My home is Gmax until i get the cash for 3ds Max 5.

Screenshot in first post, now I need to get animations and coloring done.

Metal_Sonic · Oct 16, 2005

Make his arms a teensy bit bigger, they're like sticks now. Aside from that, pretty good. Show us a side view.

Redsonic · Oct 16, 2005

Crap, obstacle, i'm gonna need to get those art tools fast or this project is goin BOOM

In about a week i should have enough cash for 3ds max v 5 or 4 , so ... till then!

DeadDogNoGoWoof · Oct 16, 2005

very high poly by the looks of it, but nice work.

Metal_Sonic · Oct 16, 2005

Why do you need 3dsmax? You can model fine in gmax.

Mr. Clean · Oct 16, 2005

Asides from the arms being a little skinny, it's looking real good. I know this seems like a dumb question but is it possible for the team color to be linked to the blue section's of Sonic's fur? If it is, I believe that it might be possible to hit two birds with one stone when the obvious choice for Sonic's ultimate skill is taken into consideration. (Similar logic with Shadow.)

Redsonic · Oct 16, 2005

Well, teamcoloring fur i'm afraid will be hard to do, so it probably can't be helped.

Why do i need 3ds max 5 ? 1. Animations are alot harder ( for me when your used to 3ds max ) , I worked on this model with 3ds max 7, which means I need to find some way to get it to .mdx.

Animations are hard as shit too, don't you need art tools for making animations ? This is my first ' warcraft model ' so, i dont know that much about animating.

Metal_Sonic · Oct 16, 2005

You can get the mdx importer/exporter. I believe it works fine with 3dsmax 7.

Redsonic · Oct 17, 2005

well

since this is my first warcraft MODEL, I dont know much about ANIMATING, just modeling...so, can anyone help me outta this ditch?

Mecheon · Oct 17, 2005

Yeah, you'd want 3DS Max 5 because it has the best Warcraft exporter

And I don't know about the importer/exporter from 7. All reports I've heard don't point towards it working well, rather working more like the Gmax one, IE: Buggy at best

Redsonic · Oct 18, 2005

Anyone know shit about animation? Cuz i finished EVERYTHING About model just need to do animations

davylink · Oct 18, 2005

I am good making animations, if you want to see it, I can send you a walker model made and animated by me.
I have all the sonic games and I know all of his moves :wink:

Redsonic · Oct 18, 2005

Yeah, i jus need to know how to animate, for now i'll work on Amy till I learn How to animate.

Takora · Oct 19, 2005

That Sonic model looks awesome. gj man, cant wait for the models to be finished

Want me to make icons for them?

Redsonic · Oct 20, 2005

Is there any milkshape tutorials out there?

Afronight_76 · Oct 20, 2005

sweet model, accurate, but the poly count? ouch!

Modeler · Oct 20, 2005

I dont think you took into account the size of the model. B/c you wont be able to host it online if your map is over 4mb... So you need to reduce a few polys. And somehow i doubt every sonic character could fit into 1 tiny map.

Prehaps a campaign?

Redsonic · Oct 20, 2005

Believe it or not...

This will be shocking...

But i managed to make the model with only a poly count of 5! The file size isnt only like 85(194 max) KB...dont believe me?

Ekoi · Oct 21, 2005

HAX!!!!!!

I'm scared now.

Well, since your model eats mine, you wana do Metal Knuckles?

Note, this is not a request.

Metal_Sonic · Oct 21, 2005

Paranoid are we? And Metal Knuckles? Pff, how many times do we see him? If your gonig to do sonic, at least have the decency to do Tails next.

Ekoi · Oct 21, 2005

Yes

In one game, Sonic R

I never said for him to do Metal Knuckles next, I was asking him if he wanted to make it in general. I was working on one, but it is nothing compaired to this super detailed model of 5 polys.

halo · Oct 21, 2005

Uh...5 polygons...theres something wrong here.
You can't even make a whole cube with polygons.
Maybe you need to use the actual polygon counter.
In max go under the hammer icon (forget what it's called)to the far right.
There is a "more" button if you scroll down.
Click it and find the word polygon counter.
CLick that and check the tri's and then the polygons.
But don't forget to have the model selected while doing this.

Shadow The Hedgehog · Oct 23, 2005

Great!! I can't wait till it finish....
Sonic is my favorite character!!

By the way, someone can make Yuffie Kisaragi Model (Final Fantasy VII ADVENT CHILDREN) ??? Sorry, if this off topic.......

Shadow The Hedgehog · Oct 23, 2005

Hey Red Sonic....

I think is perfect if the attack animation come from Sonic Battle....

But then someone would have to make a white shockwave model.

Mr. Clean · Oct 25, 2005

I think Shadow's refering to Sonic's punches and kicks rather than the animation linked to Sonic Wave (the white shockwave with light blue edges). Speaking of animations, I think Shadow's Chaos Blast animation would be an appropriate channel animation for him. In regards to a super form (for Sonic and Shadow) animation, it might be a good idea to transfer the Demon Hunter's metamorphosis animation.

Mecheon · Oct 25, 2005

Screw Super Shadow, Super Tails owns him

And so does Hyper Sonic and Hyper Knuckles at that. Hell, go nuts with the geosetanims and make Hyper Sonic go through all of his transistions

Haha. Dude, the 5 polygons message it spits out is an ERROR MESSAGE. Those are polygons that have bad normals. (You might want to look into that as well!)
From looks, I'd estimate the model at about 2000 polygons, give or take 300.

Good model though. Reminds me of the Sonic model for Quake 3.

Mr. Clean · Nov 3, 2005

Do you have any progress updates to report? (i.e. new screen shots of any of the models, any problems, what the skin looks like.) Although I can't do anything in the modeling department, I can give some ideas for animations.

Redsonic · Nov 11, 2005

nev3r

My copy of the TRIAL version of milkshape ran out o-o... a couple of days ago actually,

Ekoi · Nov 15, 2005

Redsonic · Jan 15, 2006

Update!

Update! Long time no see. Well, heres the business.

As most of you may know, Bustr_Bladr ripped off my work, support it's deletion here. http://www.wc3sear.ch/index.php?p=Models&ID=3615&sid=
____________________

Anywho, heres the update.

I am now working on the SHADOW MODEL and plan to release SONIC, SHADOW, AMY, TAILS, and KNUCKLES as a whole.( those 5 models are the characters in my sonic game so thats why im using those 5 models. )

So, keep in touch for that, And Bustr_Bladr, if your reading this instead of your model comments.

You really need to ask before ripping peoples work off like that.

Mecheon · Jan 15, 2006

Done and done

Because you're the topic's original author, I suppose you better make the bump worthwhile and post some pictures

And remember that Nack is infinantly cooler than a gun wielding Shadow

Mr. Clean · Jan 19, 2006

It's good to hear you're back in business. I'll be looking foward to seeing your work.

I do have some questions for you.
1. In regards to the Amy model, which version of her is it; the pre Sonic Adventure form or the current form?
2. What kinds of animations are each of the characters going to have? (More of a curiosity question, since I'm excited about this new update and would like to learn more.)
