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 )

OOPS..too many posts? ah, well... the combo burst....i like that its all shiny and cute :3 but what if i like the original? would that be an option? switching between chibi Pippi and PippiX?

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.

ok, ok. i didnt know

Thanks for reminding me that I need to fix this, though. To the desktop withya! (EDIT: And boom, updated post)

Amazing work on this Everybody. Great community work right there.

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.

Shoooooooo Kyuuuuuuuuuute ^_^

Hey loginer

could I see your wires for the pippi model?

also for all those who think there is a possability of a male character?

So how many tris will the osu engine be supporting? Also will the eyes be posable or just there, becasue I'm having trouble fitting mine.

Edit: his hair isn't even done and it's already around 20,000 tris , the head when mirrored is around 1000

ive already proposed a male character in the osu! fan art thread.

I think that a male mascot could stand to look a good deal less like the female mascot...

If you think that's a lot, think again: the DS graphics hardware can handle 6144 vertices limited to 2048 polygons.

I thibk I found a way to greatly decrease the tri count, just need to delete all the unseen faces, so does anyone want to make suggestions as to the name/design of th character I'm modeling? (not Poppy, that sounds like a gandpa)

so I should aim for about 20000 tris? doesn't sound too hard.

update

It's not the end of the world if it ends up at 25,000 or 30,000 triangles, but you'll want to keep things as low-poly as possible without sacrificing quality.

@Echo: An Irrlicht app displaying nothing but a cel-shaded Pippi with no AA runs at 200 FPS on my laptop. Put two copies of her on the screen (about 25,000 triangles), and the frame rate drops to 100 FPS. Keep in mind that there are people with much worse GPUs playing osu!, and we'll want to make sure they can keep dancers enabled without the frame rate dropping.

There might also be scenarios where two or more dancers are on the screen at the same time; what if someone wants to make something resembling the end of Ouendan 2? And like I said previously, there are more reasons to keep things low-poly than just performance.

Assuming he's the dude in your avatar, he looks sly, but the use of pink highlights/eyes also makes him look "fashionable" and "fabulous". Hmm.

btw Ryuukun, lookin' good.

first of all, I was planning on changing Poppy's name to Pippin. Like the Hobbit. and the other dude u guys are making looks like 15 yr. old Pippi that whent emo. so idk, my design was a homage to Ryuuta.
Im sorry, i just feel like ive been back handed...its fine. whatever. (-3-)

I don't think we need a "male mascot" per se. I wouldn't mind having alternate 3D characters to use in-game, but I don't think they need to follow Pippi's color themes or design style so closely. I'd rather have Ryuuta or Agent J, or if you insist on making an original character, some kind of combination of Ryuuta and J.

Also, great art, Ryuukun.

I'm actually starting to collect the best ones I can find, to put into a little gallery. It will happen soon.

I say make all the "male mascots" you want. For I am making a male character for fanfic purposes that is totally different from the "male mascots" so far. Basically, he's a guy chasing after peppy. Tall blond with blue eyes, bit of a nerd in denial. Hates Digimon songs without even listening to them just because they're Digimon, thinks Pokemon is for kids, and wonders why Pippi wastes so much time cheering on people in a game where you click circles. He then decides to try it to impress her for his own selfish, perverted reasons. Armed with his pink t-shirt, blue jeans, Tigers cap, and a stylus, he dives in... and gets fascinated. Oh, and he has a backpack full of books because he was going to study.

No, try again. Hint: Think 'making fun of'. That should make it more obvious. Also, correction made. He's chasing after Pippi, not peppy... <_<; Dang typos, why are their names so similar?

By the way did you see I fixed the comboburst? http://up.ppy.sh/files/comboburst-32.png I think peppy's finally going to add it in soon, along with a tweak so that it snaps to the bottom of the screen rather than the top of the screen.

Also, did the rar you uploaded have everything you meant for it to have? There was only one image in the Saru folder as you posted it, none of the inks or lineart

in regards to the male mascot: perhaps his color scheme could be white and pink? It's not as fruity as straight up pink, and not as "emo" (or whatever someone's complaining) as black and pink, and it's still obviously osu colors.

zzz I know nothing about art.

didn't mean for him to look emo, the hair's taking up too many tris anyway, I'll change it a bit.

If you don't like him then you can always make your own .

I finished the model and reworked the UVW a few days ago. If I can get Mirror Mode to work, I'll have her rigged in a few hours.
By the way, would Pippi renders count as fanart?

Turns out I had to center the model's pivot point first. If I manage to wrap my head around how to make the joints deform properly, I'll have this finished today tomorrow this week.

I'm pretty much finished with the skinning now. All I have to do is tweak the joint deformer on her elbow Skin Morph modifier a bit, and I'm ready to start animating. However, I'll be going on vacation tomorrow, and I won't be back until next week. I have Photoshop on my laptop, though, so expect a wallpaper or two in a few days.

*wall*

This has nothing to do with the mascot project, as far as I can see. Unless you were planning on getting these dancers in-game, please start a new thread in Other Games instead of posting your discoveries here. If you're trying to rip them for use in osu!, start a new thread in General Development, although I'm pretty sure they'll look like shit on anything more high-res than a DS screen.

Edit: Done. I still need to tweak a few joints, and there's something awful going on with her shoes, but other than that, Pippi's ready for action. Here, have a stupid pose.

that renderer is pretty sexy but the shape of the head still bothers me and at the moment I can't pinpoint what it is

also fingers too small/short?

awp wrote:

I modeled them after my own hand. If the fingers are too small, blame me.

Wait, never mind. Either way, they're definitely not too small. They might be too short, though.

awp's right, the fingers are too short. But the head actually looks pretty good to me. The arms might be a bit off too; I'd need more poses of the current model to say for sure.

This map has been deleted on the request of its creator. It is no longer available.

Every time I look at this thread I am more impressed, Loginer.

yeah, the fingers do line up rather well. Try pressing her thumb against her index finger though - it should reach the first joint, but it looks a tad short.

We'll get to the bottom of this, damn it all.

This map has been deleted on the request of its creator. It is no longer available.

This is looking really good , Loginer. Youre doing a great job and if you ask me, the head looks fine but the actual torso should be somewhat smaller so that the arms and legs can be longer without making her look like the result of a "Bendaroo" project.

This map has been deleted on the request of its creator. It is no longer available.

I think the problem is that it's hard to see where the wrist joint is because she's wearing gloves so please don't nag about every tiny little imperfection. D:

I suppose you cant expect PS3 graphics. I think she's ready to go, anyway. She's perfect in my book(except for the humungous platformer shoes).

the more we nag, the better it gets

but it's not like it can't be improved after it's implemented, either.

Yeah, I guess. But it's just a prototype as far as we're concerned. For all we know, some poeple's computers won'tbe able to even handle an extremely low quality Pippi, especailly if they cant even play most videos without PC lag.

Even a DS can handle the number of polygons Loginer's using. If your computer can't handle that, then you ought to buy a new one.

Since the proportions have already been nitpicked enough, I'm gonna complain about your pose!



Look at her wrist! While the human wrist can bend back that far, it'd be pretty uncomfortable. I can only really get it that way by pushing my hand back with my other hand. That's like, a right angle, almost an acute angle.

To do a forward-facing peace sign, you'd want to have her elbow bend (elbow pointed down, rather than out), so that her wrist can be bent at a much wider obtuse angle relative to her forearm.

^That's probably also why her fingers look short in the first place XP

awp wrote:

Yeah, but it's hard to do any changes after skinning the model (if I add or remove any vertices, I'll have to start all over again). Besides, no one said I won't be improving Pippi after the first version has been implemented. It's just that this project has been going on for about a year and a half, and I'd like to see something in-game before I stop making progress again.

Even though Echo's exaggerating a bit, you don't have to worry. Pretty much any computer from this decade will be able to render Pippi without any slowdown.

I was going to do that, but there are still some slight problems with the shoulder, and I didn't want to edit the image in Photoshop.

That's pretty good.
