I think you may have done something wrong. It appears she had a little trouble dancing.
Yes if she isn't cell-shaded; maybe if cell-shaded.Loginer wrote:

For the top pic, what's the white space to the top right of the nose? Empty space?

It's a white hole. It expands when you miss notes, and kills you dead if you fail the song.YoshiKart wrote:

Or a "bug" I already fixed. D:
Edit: A 10 cm long Pippi model without the skirt would apparently have a volume of circa 17 cubic cm. That means an IRL model would cost about $30 on Shapeways. Is this win?
Edit2: Last time I tried using Mesh Smooth on top of Unwrap UVW (Texture aligner), it screwed up the textures. Looks like I did something wrong, so forget about all that can't-fix-this-later crap.
Edit3: Very little progress done lately (16 October ATM), so to make up for it, here's a screenshot of Pippi's secret, not-so-unlockable steel form. >:3

I've taken a bunch of placeholder textures and applied them to the model. Here's the result (Warning: Face will give you nightmares): http://up.ppy.sh/files/pippicreepy.png
Now, I'll need two things: Suggestions, and help.
Suggestions: I was thinking about making the little buttons on the shoes into actual buttons rather than a texture, since they look way too flat like this. The circle on the belt will also be a mesh. I'm also going to improve the zipper texture. Also, don't worry about the face being kind of fucked up, I'll fix that. Any suggestions beyond this?
Help: Good 2D artists. The face. Help me. Now. D:
Basically, I need an eye and a mouth. They have to be colored and in the format PNG. Transparent background would be preferable, but if that's not possible, a background with the RGB value #FCD8B4 (252 216 180) would work, too.

I could probably do the face for you, give me a while and I'll most the results...
Heres a preview of the texture I made, this is obviously resized emensly, so I'll give you high res ones with ransparent backgrounds if you like em

They look a bit too "serious business", make them look more like in Sarumaru's picture/the chibi version. The eyelashes also seem a bit overdone.Loofah wrote:

OK, I finished the new eyes for you, if you like these ones I can give a hi res transparent versions.

Much better, but they're a bit too round. Try moving the upper part a bit to make them longer, anime-styled eyes are more rectangular.
Also, think you could add some eyebrows while you're at it?

IMO, I think Loginer wants the eyes to be more a rectangular shape overall, your eyes still look a bit too rounded compared to the eyes in awp's avatar. If you just copy the shape of the eyes in awp's avatar, but create the eyes in your own style, then I think he will like it.

No need to cry. You're soooo close, you just need to fix the shape of the eyes.Loofah wrote:

Look at the eye shape that's in the character below, and then look at the shape of the eyes that you have created. Your eyes look far too rounded in comparison. Just copy the EXACT shape of the eyes that's in the image below, but do all the eye shading, etc, in your style.
Alright then, THat means I need to completely remodle the eye, so expect an update in about 20 minutes.
Edit: OK, so it took a little longer than expected..... and looks on the most part the same...... but, I did make it a lot more squared off.
but personally I think the old one looked better

Not to mention the eyes are not snapped to the grid correctly, and the overall spacing is a little tight. I can't rank this.
(Off-center a tad and could be placed a bit farther apart)
I suppose this is something for Loginer to deal with anyway, though. Posting mainly to show that I'm still watching this. ;x

I've been discussing it a bit with peppy, and like I mentioned earlier, the eyes look too weathered/aged/mature. Remember, she's only 15. Her eyes should look a bit more curious/excited...there isn't quite enough energy.
@Loginer: could you tweak the tuft of hair at the front to make it a bit wider? Just a bit~
@Loginer: could you tweak the tuft of hair at the front to make it a bit wider? Just a bit~
I'm not too sure but I think the eyes could be a bit thinner, and also closer to the middle of her face.
what's with the dip in the middel of the texture? and I think that like echo said, they should be a bit closer to the middle of her face. Maybe if I add some blush she'll look younger

Sure, I'll do that later.awp wrote:

The actual model I have in Max is very, very low-poly. To make it a bit more round, I apply a modifier called Mesh Smooth, which pretty much multiplies the number of faces by four with each iteration. This can screw up texture coordinates. I could get around this by making the Mesh Smooth permanent, but the resulting model is much harder to edit, and some people are still not satisfied. It would also be much harder to rig the model, so I should probably try to find a way around it. <_<Loofah wrote:

Also, is there any way way to change the hair model into a flat one that can use a texture instead of it looking fleshy?
Topic Starter
That would look horrible. And it can use a texture, but do you really think that's necessary?Loofah wrote:

Could you make a texture wrap around the whole surface of the hair cylinder?
Topic Starter
Yes.Loofah wrote:

I'd agree; the hair needs texture to prevent it from looking like playdough on her head.
I think the hair will look fine without a texture, as long as it's going to be cell shaded in Osu like in the pic below. But, if the mascot isn't going to be cell shaded, then I think the hair will need a texture added to it.
Would you like me to post the hi res hair textures I made? (They're 1000X1000) =3

@Lolginer: yeah, something like that
@Loofah: Thanks for all the support on this. Is it convenient to tweak the colour of those textures at all? The pink has a bit too much...blue? to it? It looks a bit lavender or whatever colour I'm thinking of around there.
Here's a proper shot of the eye, btw, as nature intended:
I don't know if that hair texture just happens to be partially transparent or something and may translate really well onto the model.

I like the style of the textures, but that's not going to work very well on the model. It has to be tilable, and the smaller it is, the better. You should also lose the part on the bottom and the white light shining on the middle of the texture.Loofah wrote:

Basically, just lines plz. :3
OK then, I'll post some new ones in a while then, and by tileable what do you mean? do I have to delete the dark parts?
He means that the texture will need to be seamless. The image will need to be created so that when it is placed next to itself horizontally and vertically, there will be no visible seams.Loofah wrote:

I can't use any transparency on the hair, since it has depth. The only way to get around it is by making the hair flat, but that wouldn't look right due to those damn stripes. This render should also display why fake specularity + textures = bad mix.Loofah wrote:
I can do horizontal easy.... but vertical would kind of make it looks a bit plain, I'll wait till loginer shows me how the texture is actually laid on until I post some new ones.
Finally, these textures are too big. 1000*1000 is on a dimension way beyond overkill, and since this texture is all about details, I can't just scale it in Photoshop. A tileable 100*100 or so texture should do the trick, though.
100x100....... easy, here they are
Topic Starter
They're not vertically tileable, and the details are waaaay to sma- Oh, you resized the original texture. <_<
Loginer, why not just cut the chunks you need out of the big textures? It'd only require a little photoshopping the edges to get them to tile properly.
Loginer wrote:

Actually, you'd pretty much have to redo the edges. Might give it a go tomorrow unless Loofah posts something.LuigiHann wrote:

A bit won't do the trick, they have to be about as large as on the high-res version.Loofah wrote:

OK, I made completely certain that these will tile exactly, I also made the detail a fair bit larger than my old atempts-
Topic Starter
I had to modify the color of the bottom texture, but other than that, they're great. They're still a bit large, but the face texture is even larger, anyway.
Give me something to work with already. Now I need to look at implementing the model in DirectX AND opengl. What a pain .

Yeah, but a closed mouth would look better than an open one in this case. Just make a neat-looking line, and we'll call it a day.

Not sure what you mean with layers. Something like bump mapping?awp wrote:
The way it wraps around the hair, it looks a bit like wood grain. Is there a way to layer the hair so it doesn't look as much like playdough? Or make it some kind of fur/hair material?
If I were an expert on this I could probably advise something specific a la modeling, but all I can say is that right now the hair doesn't exactly look like hair.
And there is a hair-and-fur modifier in 3ds, but it's not made for real-time rendering.

Bump-mapping might work. It looks like one solid piece right now (which might look good enough in a cartoon shader) when it should not be perfectly smooth (particularly in the black) - the strands at the top of the head do not reach her shoulders, only the lower roots will. That sorta thing.
Also, that angle shows some pretty useful information: her nose is pointy, and there's an absence of a bridge. It looks as if you can get away with flat eyes, but she could really use a bridge on her nose. Use yourself for reference as much as you need to...unless your nose is broken ;x
this probably can't reqally be done because of ow the model is set out, but I do think that the nose needs a bridge, that or not have qa nose at all.

Especially when looked upon from far away. Looking at it up close doesn't have the same effect. So, you may see violently floating wood grain floors.Saturos wrote:

But other than that, what else could be done? Gloss, bump mapping, new textures, what would help?
Gloss is a step in the wrong direction. Make it look rougher, maybe. Might need to rely on the textures, but here's a thought:
for the pink bangs, make them thinner. Right now they're pretty circular like "O" but maybe they should be closer to "=". Might help.

I have made the bangs thinner (Although you really can't notice it from the front), and improved their mapping coordinates. I've also increased the contrast on the textures. How's this?

No, like, depth thin. Like the end of Saw V thin. As if she were standing straight and her front and back were compressed together by a trash compactor sort of thin.

Here's the latest version (Sorry for the delay, I blame the cold I caught). I don't know if I've fixed the flatness, but it's definitely better than the last one. Ignore the weird-looking shoes in the back view, I already fixed that problem.
Also, does anyone think stages would be a good idea?
