I found a 3D Dalek poser. I screen-capped a few positions and did a quick animation.The problem is that the shading is fixed. There's no source of light so that is why it flashes in the turn.This would be the only time that this problem would present itself. Some tedious editing would have to be done to correct this.This is the closest I might come to making a full character from scratch.I'll keep yuz posted. AIGHT!!!
What has to be done is augmentation of one (or two or 3) of the middle sprites so that the lighting doesn't jump.It's not about changing the pallet because the turn of a character is all the same sprites horizontally flipped. I just have to fucks with the transitional sprites to make it seem like he's really turning. It's going to be really really annoying, but doable. Atleast he's segmented. It'll make it easier.
Wow that looks Awesome (aside from the without colour thing) I love how your going for the classic style as well I like the the old classic Daleks best I only wish I was more skilled so that I could offer to help you with this as I would love to see a Dalek in mugen especially an old style Dalek like this but sadly I dont have the skills to make a character for mugen sadly I could ask around for you though if you want to see if anyone more skilled is interested in helping as I go on a few different mugen sites please let me know think about thisanyway I am really glad the site link I gave you was helpful to you and I wish you the best of luck with this

erm your kidding right? if not you have done really well to achieve what you have done so far I dont even know how to do what you have done so far
I screencapped a 3D poser. All I did was move him into different positions, load the individual images into Gimp, shift them around until they were all matched correctly, and made a gif out of it. Nothing MUGEN related has been done yet.I've done some work in character development, but I've forgotten it all (coding wise). Animations are easy though.
Well it looks good anyway thats the main thing I think definitely better than anything I could do anyway 8) nice one Doc and feel free to ask me if you need help with finding a coder I will ask around for you on the sites I go on if you struggle to find oneif you like
We're far from the coding stages now, but if/when it comes time, I'll let you know.Here's an idea of what it would look like with some color. It's a lot more time consuming than I expected and this isn't even a good job, but I have an idea that will hopefully make things a lot quicker and look a lot nicer.
Looks quite good to me its a good start 8) nice work Doc and good luck with the quicker and looking nicer idea as well
Besides the turn, not much.All that moves on a Dalek is its rotating head, its eye piece, its gun and its manipulator arm that looks like a plunger. A couple of transition frames from grounded to flying, and a few get-hit frames.I might be missing a few.This won't be a sophisticated character in the least. It will definitely fall into the novelty character category. I'm gonna have to do some research to see if there's anything in the mythology that could make for a more interesting character.
I have an idea that might make the dalek a bit more interesting and give it a few more attack moves etcok what I was thinking was what about if you use all or at least a few of there different weapons that they have had throughout the series and in the movies I mean origionally when the series was black and white they fired like a radiation blast or something (the screen used to go black and white anyway)in death to the daleks they changed there weapons so that they fired bullets like a gunthen in genesis of the daleks they fired a blue laserin rememberance of the daleks they fired energy balls (or something like that )and finally in the 2 movies with peter cushing as the doctor they seemed to fire steam insteadand well I was just wondering if you combined them do you think that would make the dalek a bit more interesting?
Interesting....different types of firings based on power of the what is being fired or something along those lines of the English language.Here's a quick little update. I finally loaded the son of a bitch into this Blender 3D program and I can at least look at him.The program does not mesh well with my organic operating system.My goal is to make him like that other guy is making Optimus Prime. But not as cartoony, and I don't mean that as a knock to his Prime....wait a second. Maybe I should go cartoony.We'll just have to find out together, what looks good.
no problem I am sure it will look great when your finished with it good luck with him anyway Doc sounds like you might need it at the moment
The lighting is perfect in Blender. Now all I got to do is figure out is how to lay down some textures and make animations and I'll be all set.See yall in a couple months
Sounds like your getting there with him Doc I for one wish you good luck with it and dont worry we will be waiting and giving you our support all the time your gone
Oh, I'm not leaving...I'm just saying that it's gonna take me a while to get acclimated with Blender.
Looks like you're off to a good start. I just found this after deciding that a Dalek (mine being solely based on the new series Daleks, pre-Dalek Rangers) was going to be my first character making project. Pretty sure I've got all the sprites I need, but having issues putting them together into animations (using Fighter Factory Ultimate, collision boxes keep running to hide in the corner, far far from the image). My plan for attacks is to have a, b and c be different strengths of death ray attacks, x, y, z be plunger, have an ultimate attack where Davros calls down the Reality Bomb, and eventually various helper characters may pop up. Here's a sprite sheet I threw together:The lower two rows of Dalek are for various damage states, outlined are for block (shield) which I considered having it do damage as it does instantly disintegrate bullets.
if it was last posted 2 years ago, its likely that he gave up on it.You could pm him asking about it but you shouldnt expect for it.Dont bump threads that old, if you are really that much into dr who, you could always pick up the sprites avaliable and try your own hand at creating. Cheers.
