I've thought about two things we might want to start thinking about for the mascot: A name and a voice. My first ideas are that we could name her after one of the Ouendan cheerleaders or Elite Beat Divas as homage, and I know several message boards where people do amateur voice acting for free. We'd need the usual countdown, a miss clip, and maybe some shouts at certain points as an extra whistle/finish.

I might have a cute voice for "pippi" (or whatever her name is) in mind... I just gotta run the idea by her. If not, I have other people in mind. Just give me a list of things to record and stuff.

There are 2 more details I'll have to add when I'm home again: The skirt, and the hair. I tried to create a skirt, but I can't simulate that newly-ironed look(I know what to do, it simply won't work), so is a more round-looking skirt OK?

Heres a pic of the mascot That i colored pixel by pixel in Paint.NET.
It was hard to do.

Also Some1 should make a guy mascot so we have a male gender version for our male players? Have twin mascots or something.
I think the male one should have like a blue Osu! themed outfit and also the girl's fingers should have been more sharp to be more anime girl like.

For voice, start with:

Are you ready?
3
2
1
Go!

And some kind of "oomph!" or "oh no!" for combo break. And perhaps "We did it!" for when a song is cleared.
Rasec_old
I like the girl awp but maybe it has to much pink.
I know that osu! also has a lot of pink but maybe a little of contrast would be good.

For the voice i look forward to hear something cool.
RavenlockA
On the contrary, I think the pink adds the necessary touch to what is already present in the Osu! app.

Overall, I'd like to share my opinion: looking good so far!

Am I the only one who thinks that the cleavage is a bit much? It could easily be fixed by making the star one solid color.

A - it was originally designed for someone around the age of 17, where this sort of thing would be expected
B - in the chibi model, the inner star is pink because red is glaring
C - Pippi is known to be a bit of a tramp anyway~

She does fill that top quite a bit for a 15-year-old, what with the overlap and all. Pretty gifted mascot.

Download: PippiVoice.zip

Here's the voice samples and a readme about them inside.

Please let me know what you think! Tina and I can always re-record if we have to.

The only issues I had were that they sound to "airy." How do i iron those little air sound particle things out?
awp
The recording is actually fairly clean, I thought. Also, I think the voice is possible, but needs re-recording.

My stance on it is, the voice could be a tad higher-sounding. Tighten the vocal chords a bit more. And the actual reading of the lines lacks the right emotion, it sounds a bit rushed, and the emphasis falls on the wrong places.

Applause is just a straight-up "we-did-it" and doesn't really feel excited or energetic. I picture Pippi jumping when she says this. Either stretch the We out (Weeeee~ DID IT!) or hook the "did" more (We DID it!)

combobreak's not too bad, I think maybe hook the No a bit more. Sound a bit more desperate, maybe.

Ready, counts, go - it almost sounds like it's in the reverse order. There's a real drop in the "One" - it sounds like the end of the sentence, when there's still "Go!" to go. Ready sounds more like a statement to me than a question, and I can't really pick up any distinct emphasis. Try saying "Are you ready?" and bob your head down at the "rea" (of ready) and back up at "dy" to see if you can feel the movement of it. Also, it might help to record the entire "Are you ready? Three, two, one, go!" all at once - it really sounds like each sound file was its own take, and feels a bit broken/jumbled.

readyLOL.wav - too much breath on the "ck" but other than that, <3

readyLOL2.wav - "Oss", not "oh sue"...also, is that your mouse clicking that I hear, Remdawg?

There is my "I have no regard for how this makes you feel" critique of take One. There's no reason we can't continue to work at it, right?

Try making exaggerated body movements when you say the lines. If you feel that you're there, that you're actually this character, it might come more naturally.

Also harass peppy to see what he thinks. And maybe LH, too.

Behon
She says "Are you ready?" way too quick, and the applause doesn't sound enthusiastic enough. The whole thing sounds really casual and not very appropriately bubbly, so you might want to re-record. As for the air sound issues, take each sound into Audacity and do the following:

-Highlight a 'silent' part of the line
-Choose Noise Removal from the Effect Tab
-Click Get Noise Profile.
-Highlight the whole sound.
-Choose Noise Removal again.
-Click Remove Noise. Voila!

I say take all this advice and have Tina do another round of recordings, but since the window is open for others, here's a list of demos for amateur voice actresses that do stuff like this, Flash animations, and fandubs for free. I think that Rina-chan and Mippa have good voices for the character.

That's what I thought, but she had to be somewhere very soon. I'll make note of that.

You want them all in one file? Ok then, i'm assuming you'll break them later.

Again, i realize she was rushing too much. There's a small personal issue going on that let to rushed voice acting. We're settling this soon.

The voice could work, but the pronunciation needs some work. Tina also seems to have a problem with high tones, although I mainly base this on the LOLs. Warming up for a minute or two by doing weird sounds with varied pitches, and using exaggerated mouth movements when recording the lines should help. The "Are you ready?" is way to quick and the 1, 2 and 3 in the countdown should all have the same pitch. Also, personally, I think the ending thing is a bad idea. And air problems aside, the quality is fine.

You can't just model a belt and use some sort of cloth material type to just fold itself around her figure? Last I heard/saw/thought, 3DSMax6 could automate a bunch of stuff.

I've already modeled the belt, but the only way to make it look like the belt is holding the skirt in place is to put it IN the belt. That's where the Cloth modifier's lack of functions kills me. <.<

What does the hair look like from behind? Sarumaru's hairstyle looks like it's split in two, but wouldn't that make her bald in a small stripe at the back of her head?

So I have this picture here. I KNOW IT SUCKS, BTW. I just want to know how hard it sucks.

Failures I'm aware of:
  1. Skirt is ugly and goes through body (That belt is causing all kinds of problems, can has remove plz?)
  2. Shading glitches (That belt is causing all kinds of problems, can has remove plz?)
  3. No nose
  4. Very ugly hair
  5. Unnecessarily high-poly (That belt is causing all kinds of problems, can has remove plz?)
  6. Large breasts, long arms and legs
  7. Ugly armpits
  8. Ugly belt (plzzzzzzz?)
  9. Some things are missing
Don't worry about the lack of detail, textures will solve that problem. What I want to know is what I have to improve, and if that top looks fine.

Bullet form bitches

-Chin, or head in general, is too high up (isn't vertically long enough?).
-Face is way too flat. From this angle I can't see any cheekbones.
-Muscle tone on arms is basically absent (feels like tubes connected by blobs sort of).
-Fingers too fat and tubey
-Thumbs too thin
-Chest is too large (not just breast size, but overall has this broad-shouldered, muscular-ish build).
-Belt missing buckle (lol?).
-Hips/waist/ass lack definition
-Upper half of legs are thinner than lower half.

I was trying to get it more anime-styled, which pretty much means flat face.
That's...not exactly true =x They still have depth and all that, it's just often implied via shading for 2D cartoons.
Yes, but that's what it looks like, and since the dancers won't have cartoon shading... <.<
I could decrease the flatness a bit, though.

That head's so tiny compared to the rest of the body! It makes her look buff and muscular instead of visually appealing.

Thanks for all the critique, but could ANYONE please answer my question? The top is currently a part of the body unlike in Sarumaru's drawing, is that fine?
unless she wears a very tight top, then it woud lack a bit of definition to the clothing (such as clothing folds/creases or the "Drapery effect" or whatever you call it)

In that case, I'll redo the top and the skirt (No belt this time, although I could make it look a bit like one). It'll take a while, but it will look great if I don't phail. <.<

The top is worn actually quite loosely - it's a size too large for her, so maybe you should keep that in mind when remodelling. Swoooooshy.

Yup. Also, I recently looked at my old Ryuta model. I'm definitely remaking that one when I'm done with the mascot. <.<

I'll be a good factory slave from now on. :(
Also, I'll probably have to skip that star-shaped hole in the top. :/
awp
It's not actually a hole anymore - it's just a textured star. It was a hole for the 17 year old slut model, but she's been converted into a 15 year old sweetheart.

Oh, good. Also, slight progress.
Edit: Make that a lot of progress. :D
Edit2: Almost done with the fixing. Just have to add the nose. Too bad that's so hard. D:

Are there no existing 3D anime girl models you can rip parts from use for reference?

Tons, but I can't find any files. The problem is this: To add a nose, I'll have to add more edges to the face. However, this makes everything veeeery high-poly when I use Mesh Smooth. But if I remove all the unnecessary edges, the shading gets messed up, and the face will have lots of gray triangles on it. The only way to get around this is by making the nose a separate object, but this would make it look weird, as if it wasn't a part of the body.

Why are you using mesh smooth?

I thought this was going to be cell-shaded?

We're going for "better than DS," here, so I don't think you need to do too much AA...

If peppy could set that up, that would be great. :3

Hey that low-poly model makes the flaws more apparent - that should be handy.

It does, but the model's appearance changes drastically when Mesh Smooth is applied, so I thought it was a better idea to post the smoothed one.
Oh, and since I've posted a new picture, how's the length on the arms/legs?
awp
Arms appear to be a bit too long, but legs seem a good size. They're still way too thin (particularly above the knees). Also on the topic of limbs, the hands are huuuuge but I'm sure you'll get to that.

Like I said, Mesh Smooth changes the model drastically. :/

Of course, and it will also be ported for the PS3 and 360. Oh, and if you have an Ouendan 2 ROM on your PC, it will unlock a bonus game, where YOU are the mascot (Webcam not included).
Also, I looked at the first video, and I'm not quite sure you know what PhysX does, nor how much CPU/GPU power it would drain.

That was really useful. While it's very hard to add detail to a Mesh Smoothed model, it helped me fix the horrible pelvis. And I tried to add some detail, but it's barely visible.
Anyway, here's the latest pic. I've finished and scaled the hair, added kneecaps/elbows (Not visible from this angle), and done some other, smaller tweaks. Oh, and the face is slightly rounder.

Rank please?

Nice Boots.
awp
Hair is looking better already. Still a bit thin/spaghetti-like though, as if it were made with playdough. Nose is looking better, maybe give the bridge more definition (or at least some, it seems nonexistent) there's no difference between forehead and eyesockets (not sure if texturing will cover that) and the head is still too small. Other proportions still need to be tweaked as well.

I'll work on the hair and eventually the bridge. Textures will cover the eye thing, and I'll need a list of things to tweak. ._.

Here's the 531980th rendering so far. I've fixed the problems you've pointed out (I hope) and fixed/reduced some shading glitches, mainly the one under the nose. Anything else?

Edit: Oh, and I just fixed the missing insides on the boots, so that's another one off the list.
awp
Head is still a tad small, hair not meaty enough, calves reach their maximum diameter much too close to the kneecaps, arms lack muscle definition, *generic face complaints you're still aware of*.

wow my list is getting shorter though.
LuigiHann
It's certainly much better than it was before :D

I don't see anything wrong with the head, although the breasts can go up 2 or 3 cup sizes.
