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 .

Okay, okay, no lolgay at all ;( *suicide shot*

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).

Yeah, that. We wouldn't want the game to lag because of the unnecessarily long thumbs. :(

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.

Yeah, I pretty much knew that was going to happen.

Anyway, the arms have proper length now (upper arm and forearm length almost equal, hand-to-hand distance equal to head-to-toe distance). I'll post a new render as soon as I've fixed the joints.

That should be the new image on the screen you get when osu crashes

Replicated the pose in Sarumaru's concept drawing. Please ignore the screwy shoulder/elbow and strange smile.

Face 1 is the same face I've been using for ages now. Face 2 is Face 1 with some of the vertices moved back to give the face a more "round" look. Choose one.

nagnagnag:

Is it just one or the other? The nose is still too sharp and pointy imo and the face isn't rounded enough in the mouth region (that or the shading and angle are misleading, in which case there's nothing to worry about yay)

At the moment I prefer face 2 though - what little difference I can see is seen in the cheekbones; they look smoother and closer to the eyes which I think is more correct?

Yeah, are we really this restricted to only these two faces?

Face 2 is nice though. I kind of feel it has a bit of skinniness, but overall, it looks nice. Can we get a zoom out of it, or is that too...inconvenient/troublesome? 0.0

Face 2 ;p

Just don't show us big face close-ups and nobody would even know

She might need lips, though. Just drawn on

awp wrote:

Is it just one or the other? The nose is still too sharp and pointy imo

The only way to fix that would be to add a few extra lines, and it's a bit too late to add any geometry at this point, I'm afraid. Besides, the way it was modeled makes it hard to add any more details without adding several extra loops to the entire body, or seriously messing up the shading.
But I will replace the head and clothes in the near future, rest assured. I just happen to be at a stage where I really can't do all that much tweaking, so please save your various complaints for the next "version".

awp wrote:

and the face isn't rounded enough in the mouth region

I can guarantee you the face is rounded enough. It just looks kind of flat because of the shading/lighting, which doesn't really matter since it's all going to be cel-shaded in the end (I hope).

LuigiHann wrote:

I'm not quite sure what you're mean. Think you could use one of my previous two renders to create some sort of mock-up?

i pick the one that looks less like Lord Voldemort.

How about this one?

<3

I think that should be the new mascot.

thread is tldr since the face pics, but I'm just curious.. that dark part under the nose that everybody is complaining about. That's not just a shadow, is it? If so then its probably not as big of a deal as everybody is making it (as long as you can like.. tone down the shadow?)
