Hi folks!

Well, I've been away from all the osu stuff recently mainly because I have been busy with a LOT of crap. My own projects, making preparations to leave the country, etc, etc.

Anyway! I noticed that in osu the the chibi Pippi I drew is being used for the 30+ combo count. Well, I decided to make a specific image for the combo thingy: This image should be ready to use straight away. :D

OH THANK GOD YOU'RE BACK

Do you think you could make a drawing of Pippi's face from the front (I'm after something like this, sans the lines)? That way, we could finally end this move-this-and-resize-that crap and maybe even get Pippi ready for osu! this month.

You're awesome.

Here's a quick progress shot, just to prove I'm actually doing something. I'll try to finish the hair as soon as I can tomorrow, and then sort out issues like depth and shading on the face.

What neo@lex was pointing out was when I originally posted the png, it was corrupted and was not showing anything from the waist down. The reason this image is from shoulders up only, or rather, a bust shot is because in OTO/EBA the are also bust shots.

Loginer, her center bang can really face either direction depending on which way she is facing, many animes for example do this. :) Also, ever thought of rendering her cel-shaded instead? Her face is all grabbled with textures, but I am sure you are long from finished :P

Also, here's a colored version of the chibi Pippi that is currently being used for the comboburst. :3

Okay sure, but comboburst images hould be limited to around 388x767 (roughly 1:2 aspect ratio) . Your image is 800x800 which is just far too big (and will take up most of the screen) for osu!.

Probably doable. I imagine the non-chibi will be the standard, but that doesn't mean it's an absolute restriction.

Sorry, I forgot to post a new picture. I've been working a lot on the head this weekend, though (sort of).
Ignore the shading problem between the nose and the mouth, I'm too lazy to fix that right now. Things left to finish include parts of the hair, the nose (specifically, the bridge) and a few other details improving the overall depth of the face.



The hair looks kind of silly from the side, though. I'm thinking about going with the simple look of the combo burst image and just have two or three stripes of black hair followed by flat, "normal" hair instead of having stripes all the way to the back.

I really like Pippi now :3 Without that mouth-nose shading problem you mentioned this would be pretty awesome.

*stars the model*

The nose and mouth need some touch-ups, and maybe the cheeks and chin too. But the top half of the head looks pretty much perfect aside from maybe some detail on the black hair, and thanks to Sarumaru and Loginer 3d Pippi's looking better than ever. <3

I've been pretty busy lately, so there hasn't been any progress with the head. However, I have messed around a bit with some of the materials on the body, and Pippi's clothes no longer look like they're made of clay as much as they did before. :D

Here's a new render, with the big shading problems fixed and the nose/hair finished. I know, I know, *insert part of the face here* is too far to the left and totally ruins everything, but that can be fixed later. So could we please say this is head is good enough for the moment and move on with the project? :(

Edit: Lowered the hairline, raised the nose slightly.

AND THE VOTING IS OVER, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
While modeling this new face, however, I realized how much MeshSmooth sucks, so I'm going to try smoothing the body mesh out myself. Just a second...
Edit:
The head looks a bit flat from this specific angle due to the shape of the hair, but it'll look fine in a front perspective. Side view:

That could end up being tricky to fix later, so I fixed it now (sort of). I also fixed a few other issues such as the hole you can see in the side view render.

Hmm, I can't help but feel that the arms and legs should be slightly thinner than it is, and shoulders should be less broad.
The torso somehow looks a bit out-stretched to me as well.
Maybe you can try using the models from "MikuMikuDance" as reference to proportions.

Other than that, Nice job! :D

Did the neck vanish? No, it didn't, but something looks very inhuman about it. The head looks too pointy? Remember, the thickest part of the head is like 25% of the way down from the top. And it's pretty even most of the way down. And if that's the case with the model there, something else has gone awry.

If anyone's wondering why I'm still doing these little tweaks, it's because skinning Pippi is harder than I thought, if only because CAT is forcing me to use Skin instead of Physique. D:
Anyway, as soon as I wrap my head around this modifier, I'll post a few new pics and attempt to create a neat wallpaper. If you really want to see Pippi fight a refrigerator while kicking a hamster with her heels or something equally retarded, post your request here.
Are you using the envelopes? I never got the hang of those things, so i usually just manually set the weights. It's not as hard as it sounds. lol. I've also never used CAT though. Good luck!

I'll get started on both requests as soon as 3ds stops being gay. I've already skinned one half of the model once, but I couldn't figure out how to mirror everything to the other half (there is a function called Mirror Mode, but it didn't feel like working). After editing the head a bit, I also managed to undo everything I had done with the Skin modifier somehow, so I'll have to start all over again. Requesting a better program to skin this thing in.

Dunno if you know you moved some verts around or what when you changed stuff, but so long as the vertex order doesn't change, saving your weights out to a file (under the advanced section of the skin modifier) can help save some time if things get broken, you can just load them back up.

The Mirror mode used to not work for me, but then one day it just randomly started working. I think there's some stuff or something you have to play with.

Sorry if you knew all that already, I only have experience with 3ds Max, so I can't really say if there are easier programs for skinning.

They just waved their arms from side to side, IIRC. Either way, there's not much of a discussion to derail in here. We should definitely focus on the dancing, and try to develop a unique set of dance moves rather than ripping everything straight out of Ouendan/EBA.

I would settle for punching air in time with the notes. Serious punching. Jumping around the screen 'punching a swarm of flies to death' punching.

That'd be neat. She could be programmed to punch in the direction of the hitcircles as they are hit.

So, sliders should be punching to the ticks?
Fuck yes, Running in the 90s Easy will be AWESOME.



...Nah, sliders should make Pippi follow the slider with her hands.

While punching the hitcircles would be neat, that alone would get repetitive after a while, and I'm not sure how feasible it would be to code that. Now, could we please try to come up with some sort of "moveset" instead of focusing on how awesome punching things would be? :\

I'm up for an exaggerated karate dance style. Mostly punching, but in different styles.

I know this is more peppy's area, but as far as moves go, I say give her a basic set of defaults and give people a utility to create their own per song or whatever. Like MikuMikuDance. so far Osu! has been really customizable, and i think it'd be fun to have do a unique set of dance moves for a song.

A utility would take a load off Pippi's Animator, which I'm assuming is Loginer, cause then he'd only have to come up with the defaults. Anyways, I'll shut up now, as i'm sure I've just pissed several people off. lol.

exaggerated karate dance style sounds like it could be fun.

Having different sets of styles would almost be a must, I would think. You don't want her to be bouncing up and down like a tween on unprescribed Ritalin when the song is slow and sad.

Just 2 dance styles would be enough, 1 for each soundset. In the situation that a map switches soundsets several times, there would be a 'Don't inherit dance style' check box, in case you don't want pippi to switch from 'slow and sad' to 'bouncing up and down like a tween on unprescribed Ritalin' on the spot.

She only has one color, it shouldn't be too hard to make that adjustable. But I'd call that a pretty low priority relative to, you know, putting her in the game and having it work.

It's not hard at all, it's not even on the priority list. It's as simple as editing a few .png files you'll find right next to the .x file, although I should probably write these things down somewhere instead of expecting people to be psychic.

Anyway, after a few nights of picking my ear, drinking soda and lurking on boards instead of working on important things, I'm feeling like getting something done right now, so we'll see how things end up today as soon as brb sleep

The thickness isn't too bad, actually. Looks good for man-hands. A bit too thick in this case yeah, but don't go cutting it in half or anything.

It looks a tad flat from the top though - pay close attention to your hand's natural shape. The thumb, for example, should be below the fingers when holding the hand parallel to the ground.

The view from below looks great though.

This looks pretty slick in-game. There's a tiny bit of tidying up to do once I get back to my PC though. Real tiny.

UPDATE: Still some tiny (even tinier than before) AA issues. Maybe I'll bug Saru for the psd.

what really concerns me is the fact that this Pippi dancer might be a distraction during gameplay..i imagine this would be more of an add on or graphics option rather than something forced upon players who dont want the dancer. :| ( this whole idea is more of a colaboration since many people are working at this together )

Can you try thinking before asking a question? Combobursts are skinnable at this very moment. If you like the original, just keep that from the template skin.

Oh yeah. You can also confirm this in Multiplayer: In EBA, I think, the characters will always dance based on the difficulty, so if you choose a Diva to play as and play Medium, she'll do the male version of the dance. In Ouendan 2, the characters will always do their gender's dance.
