that looks amazing. 3d cant replace everything tho, i suggest making the body 3d and then adding in stretching and distortions by editing them up.
I've decided that I'm going to use the 3d model for reference purposes only at this point. I imagine custom palettes would be damn near impossible for the 3d rendered sprites.Once this character is complete, I will work to release a second version with the 3D rendered sprites
Win idea: he wins that criminal with the mullet who is on the opening runs by with a creepy laugh jail bot hands come out of all slots with weapons, wavy arms or guns and he goes after him while saying Freeze, Halt or stop or I'll use force

I'm pushing hard to finish this within the next few months.Fauxcry said, May 05, 2014, 05:24:39 pmWin idea: he wins that criminal with the mullet who is on the opening runs by with a creepy laugh jail bot hands come out of all slots with weapons, wavy arms or guns and he goes after him while saying Freeze, Halt or stop or I'll use forceThat's a great idea!!! Thanks!!! I have 2 really cool win animations completely sprited out right now, so this will make a nice third....Anyone out there want to help me code a little? Please, only if you're experienced and genuinely interested. I've wanted to do everything 100%, but at this point I'm willing to collaborate to achieve a sooner release. This project is starting to drive my girlfriend nuts lol If no one's interested, fear not; I will finish this project.
I'm not particularly happy with how the 3D Jailbot looks in-game (in comparison to the style of most other characters), but at least this helped me brush up on my 3D skills. I learned a few new tricks in my 3d software... the most difficult part, of course, was figuring out how to animate his arms and hands.Here's what the 3D stand/walk pose looks like:(Anim Deleted)Compared to my "manually-drawn" animation:(Anim Deleted)Aside from correcting a few stray pixels, this is what the software rendered. The gradients were much smoother, but I restricted the palette to 85 colors.Time to get back to the real work I will be redrawing the sprites for more accurate perspective, as I'm sure you can see the differences above
I suppose I'll ruin the surprise and share this intro I wrapped up some time ago This one is quite long... but I have a few other intros finished already, and I'll set this one to be selected less frequently.I had this animation in mind and simply had to create it. Enjoy!YouTube link to Warden IntroThis was also my first taste of coding. I'll have to revisit this later on because I must have set the triggers wrong... for whatever reason it syncs perfectly when previewing in FF3, but the audio/video is out of sync when loading up a game in MUGEN
That intro was fantastic. The length is okay, so long as you keep it less frequent as you said. Also, perhaps up the scale on the hands a bit in the 3D model? It may just be me being weird, but they seem really small, especially compared to the 2D sprite
Thanks for the feedback guys.You're right about the hands; good thing that's actually a very simple fix. I'll adjust my model now before I forget, but I probably won't be posting aby 3d stuff until I finally finish the regular version.About the shadows, I'm going to look into that.I'll share some more of my recent spritework soon!There's also going to be a very exciting post coming in a few weeks that will knock your socks clean off
I wonder how he'll look like if hit my the Midnight Bliss... Ultraprison Jailbot?And it can also be interesting if Jailbot had a stage.

Ultraprison Jailbot?That sounds like a good idea.Speaking of which, she is the main focus for one of his win animations:(Anim Deleted)There will be a couple different tunes which will be played back.MrPr1993 said, June 01, 2014, 08:03:14 pmAnd it can also be interesting if Jailbot had a stage.The thought has certainly crossed my mind! This is very likely to happen
The exciting post that I mentioned is now coming to fruition I created a custom animation sequence for Jailbot as a marriage proposal to my girlfriend. I'll post it tomorrow once it finishes uploading. I've been working on it for a couple months now, and it blew her away along with all my friends that were over - none of which had a clue of what was coming....She said yes
