thanks man!

UV mapping is becoming annoying again, roadkill doesn't want to be useable... i can't move UVs around in it... they just keep snapping back to the original position as soon as i click anywhere else or hit another key on the keyboard...

never used roadkill is it abit better than maya

Chirone 20-04-2011 06:17 AM

it would be nice if i knew how to use it... it colours the faces red green and blue depending on how stretched it is, quite a lot easier to see than using a grid
a few of the pieces have their uvs laid out so far. but not quite finished.

Have you picked a colour yet?
I'd avoid black or it might look too much like Giovani's suit. Maybe purple since that's the colour of psychic?

Chirone 23-04-2011 05:26 AM

i dont know why they gave psychic the purple colour... i guess it's not normally associated with a colour so they needed a colour that isn't associated with an element...

i was thinking of going along the lines of mewtwo's original armour's colour, blue-grey and purple. But I think it needs a bright colour in there as well, not much of a bright colour but a bright colour (like the bahamut in the first post). I dont think white stands out on grey so I don't think i'd use that... besides, there'd be enough white showing on the visible organic parts.

You have reached so far Chirone! Great progress indeed. I can imagine this character in the next Super Smash Bros game. lol
I personally like the magneto inspired helmet from several posts back.

I kept doing stupid things but alas, i have finally added some colour.

sadly my mouse batteries died... luckily for me i have a tablet and was able to continue painting.
I tried adding extra edge loops to the model so i could keep the sharp edges in zbrush, but it then started producing the most annoying textures that made absolutely no sense as to how it was made...

live and learn. or something like that

And then every so often zbrush would crash permanently until i restarted...

I love what you've done with the tail.
I didn't know mewtwo could learn iron tail. :P

Chirone 27-04-2011 09:33 PM

anyone who has a or had a tail in a previous evolution tail can learn it... like jolteon and alakazam despite not having much of a tail

Huh...I didn't know that. But then Kyogre can learn lightning.

Chirone 27-04-2011 09:46 PM

i had to google what that is. starmie and staryu can also learn lightning attacks. and phychic pokemon can rightfully learn lightning attacks too.
