    I'm not stopping, don't worry. lol

    I'm kinda tied down right now, just be a bit more patient. ;)

     

    Right now, the model is just half of what it's supposed to be, minus the details, etc. I didn't like how the ninja suit came out in mgs, I liked the concept art way better. The problem is, it doesn't show alot of detail so I made a whole bunch of sketches to translate easier on to 3d.

    Sooo... update pics will have to wait, unless you wanna see a bunch of dirty sketches of nude men and ninja suits that don't relate to each other. Ehehe

    Japanese power armor texture...

    Yes, keep the flags. It's a bit over the top, but I like it. Maybe you can upload two separate meshes for those who don't.

     

    I didn't like that helmet thingy you added at first, but after seeing it textured that way... It really does fit. Very Nice!

    Oh yeah, feeling better now. Strolled around 4 cities yesterday in 30 degree heat till my feet felt sore, hehe. Haven't done that in a while.

     

    I want to complete the entire suit before releasing though. And I'm remaking the helmet. I haven't touched it for a while. I don't feel motivated right now, but I'll get back to it eventually.

     

    Do you think its ok if i release only the helmet now? Like a teaser or some sort?

    you can tell

    from the scars on my arms

    and cracks in my hips

    and the dents in my car

    and the blisters on my lips

    that I'm not the carefullest of girls

     

    you can tell

    from the glass on the floor

    and the strings that're breaking

    and i keep on breaking more

    and it looks like i am shaking

    but it's just the temperature

    and then again

    if it were any colder i could disengage

    if i were any older i could act my age

    but i don't think that you'd believe me

    it's

    not

    the

    way

    I'm

    meant

    to

    be

    it's just the way the operation made me

     

    and you can tell

    from the state of my room

    that they let me out too soon

    and the pills that i ate

    came a couple years too late

    and I've got some issues to work through

    there i go again

    pretending to be you

    make-believing

    that i have a soul beneath the surface

    trying to convince you

    it was accidentally on purpose

     

    i am not so serious

    this passion is a plagiarism

    i might join your century

    but only on a rare occasion

    i was taken out

    before the labor pains set in and now

    behold the world's worst accident

    i am the girl anachronism

     

    and you can tell

    by the red in my eyes

    and the bruises on my thighs

    and the knots in my hair

    and the bathtub full of flies

    that I'm not right now at all

    there i go again

    pretending that I'll fall

    don't call the doctors

    cause they've seen it all before

    they'll say just

    let

    her

    crash

    and

    burn

    she'll learn

    the attention just encourages her

     

    and you can tell

    from the full-body cast

    that I'm sorry that i asked

    though you did everything you could

    (like any decent person would)

    but i might be catching so don't touch

    you'll start believing you're immune to gravity and stuff

    don't get me wet

    because the bandages will all come off

     

    and you can tell

    from the smoke at the stake

    that the current state is critical

    well it is the little things, for instance

    in the time it takes to break it she can make up ten excuses

    please excuse her for the day, its just the way the medication makes her

     

    i don't necessarily believe there is a cure for this

    so i might join your century but only as a doubtful guest

    i was too precarious removed as a caesarian

    behold the worlds worst accident

    i am the girl anachronism

    Thanks for sharing that, enjoed that alot! :D

     

    @SaintJames420

    I haven't played it but it can't be as bad as RE5 right? (entry wounds pushes video game violence to a whole new level)

     

    @davidzaccaro

    Unless they release it on PC, I'm never gonna play it. I hate the whole console wars thing, why can't they just create a universal pc based console anyway? Greedy SOBs.

     

    Another bad news, (for me anyway) because of the whole chickenpox thingy my flash training got moved to June. Meaning I'm broke until October. :down:

    I'm kinda wishing I never left my old gig on that Japanese Animation Co. but then again, I'm not missing the whole 7 days a week 16 hours a day thing. Gets old after a while.

    Enough griping! Atleast I get to do the mod for a while right? Right?!? Sucks to be me I guess.

    If you want a go at the Grey Fox Suit, go ahead. It's not like we're going to have identical models and textures when we're finished you know. You could probably finish it quicker than me. I suck at this BTW. :P

    Avoid ripping materials from other games or other people's work for that matter. Bethesda doesn't like that, neither does the Nexus.

     

    Chicken Pox is a virus, so I doubt your mom had anything to do with it lol. No offense though.

     

    Speaking of the dreaded virus, I'm starting to heal up now. Thanks for the concern and the tips buddies. My new Supervisor at work is starting to miss mem though I've never met him officially, I heard he's some sort of badass Animation Director. Looking forward to meeting him in a few days to see what awesome ideas he can feed me. Hehe.

     

    On to the Gray Fox Suit WIP...

    Hmmm, for some reason, I can't upload an image right now. I'll try later. (Not like I have anything cool to show right now hehe)

     

    I started on the suit (again) now I made my own body mesh based on the vanilla male body mesh. I beefed up the arms and everything, redid the chest to make it more "manly" and soI can fit whatever I had in mind for the torso, blah blah blah. lol

    I got the legs at about 60% completion, I used Olga's boots instead of Gray Fox's. I hope you guys don't mind, it's much better looking anyway. I've been working on it like 13 hours a day for the last 3 days. I'm kinda burned out right now so I'm gonna play around with the new mods I just got.

     

    In closing, post some comments guys (I'm kinda bored right now) share your thoughts, ideas, Gray Fox images I've never seen or whatever you have in mind. Just to keep the blood circulating on my brain and keeping me interested so I can finish this as soon as I can. :sweat:

    but seriously though....talk to you doc and see what he can do. I AM NOT TELLING YOU TO ABUSE ANY KIND OF PERSCRIPTION YOU SHOULD ALWAYS DO WHAT THE DOC TELL'S YOU TO.

     

    Unless he's a witch doc.......

    Thanks for the painkiller tip buddy. I found out it's lot less worse when you catch it while your younger. Less risks for permanent skin damage, less blisters, etc. I'm 25, and I got a lot of blisters. My head is covered, even the scalp. :yucky:

    It's been a while since I posted on my own thread. Hehe.

     

    Sorry buds, I effed up the armor. I knew using vanilla mesh would cause troubles when modeling the armor. Chests plates looked like saggy t*ts compared to SGD's reference or any other reference I got on the Cyborg Ninja. I'm going back to the drawing board, literally. Pencil and paper on hand. Then completely start from scratch.

    I guess that's not entirely bad news, since I can make it available for people who don't own the DLC right?

     

    Which one do you prefer, masculine ala Olga's Ninja Suit? Or Greyfox's skinny and waif suit? I'm thinking of a mix of both, but overall, more bulky. What do you think?

    I'm like you. I have no name.

    @neunen

    Thanks for the instruction on normal maps buddy. But I can't use it for the existing mesh, it turns the helmet blocky and pointy on some edges. Maybe later when I make another model.

     

    @SGD

    If I saw that 2nd pic while I played MGS2, I would have pobably pointed at deepthroat's crotch and laugh my @$$ silly. hehe

    Grayfox is about to get an upgrade!

     

    Kudos to both of you! :thanks:

    @Woz616

    It's the normal map I did. I have no idea how to make a normal map through blender. Sorry.

    @SGD

    That's Olga right? Kewl. Man I wish I could make textures like that, then I wouldn't have a problem with those miniscule pamel lines.

    I'll make it bulky, but not that much hehe. Oh, would you mind showing me the arms, legs from different angles? Especially the back torso, I need an isometric view of that. Thanks for showing me the pics! ;)

    @SaintJames420

    I managed to give it a semi gloss normal map. But still seem funky to me. As for the bubbly comment, God knows I tried. But making the skull thinner makes it completely out of proportion compared to the body, and kinda morphs the design into a clown instead of a skull.

    As for animation, oh yeah, that would be cool. But I'm no 3d animator yet. So we'll just have to wait and see. ;P

     

    Yes I'm working on the armor right now. And yes, yes I know I said I'll make the weapons first. But those things don't really stimulate my brain as much as sketching/making human figures, etc. Plus I'm practicing my isometric drawings for work.

    But no model yet, I'm still planning my approach. I'm merging designs from game concepts, resin kits and toys to make it look right. But I don't have a scanner so I can't show you. hehe I'll post something after I manage to get something done on blender.

     

    @Psycho Mantis

    For those who don't have/like the DLC, I sure hope so. But just in case, I'm thinking of using the antagonizer suit as base. I'll look into it.

     

    BTW, did you guys see the screens for the next DLC? That looks promising, I hope Bethesda has learned from their mistakes in OA (but they are still using that radio signal poo to activate the quest).

    "One crit would be that the face seems a little bubbly. not sure if this is due to the shinyness or the mesh. Either way, this will be getting my download."

    What do you mean? Please be more specific, don't get me wrong, I just want it to look right. Especially for people who got the helmet design memorized from playing alot of MGS. Do you mean the moel is too round? I tried elongating, stretching the mesh. But it seemed way out of proportion if I compared it to the vanilla head. If you were talking about the shine, what do you guys think is better; glossy, matte or semi? If you know how to do that, please tell me okay? (My original normal map made the helmet look like it was made out of glass. Not very good. The normal maps you see on the screen shots above were provided by Junin.

     

    @ivenoname

    I really didn't know how this project would turn out when I made the post a few weeks ago. Hehe

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     

    For anyone experiencing the same problem I had with Blender and Nifscope, I'm posting Junin's Tutorial here. Hope this helps. ;P

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Step one: open the grey fox nif and whatever nif you’re going to paste into. (note) make sure that the helmet nif you’re pasting to has the skininstance and that the ninnodes match the (power armor) helmet for example. The order that nodes are in does not matter.

     

    Step 2: Right click on the Nitrishape (not the Nitrishapedata) of the greyfox helmet nif then scroll down to block, then copy branch. Then past the grey fox Nitrishape into the block list of the power armor helmet. (NOTE) paste it into the white space in the block list. Don’t paste into the Ninode. You should see that your Nitrishape is outside the tree and your mesh should not show up on the display.

    Step3: click on the Ninode at the top. Go to the Block details and scroll down to Children, click on the plus sign. Look at the children listed there and find the one for the power helmet Nitrishape. It’s called PAhelmet. For me it’s #1. Double click on it and replace the number 1 with the number of your grey fox Nitrishape. For me it’s #22. When you do that you will see your mesh appear in the display window and the power helmet disappear. If your texture is not loaded, load it. Click BSShadeTextureSet. Go to the textures in block details and load the tex and then the normal map, then glow map.

    The Nitrishape for the pwhelmet is still there but it’s outside the tree. Erase it (Block remove branch.

     

    Step 3: now comes the important part. Right click on your Nitrishape (Nitrishape not Nitrishapedata ok) scroll down to mesh then scroll to Make skin Partition and click that. A window will pop up saying stuff like Number of bones per vertex bla bla b… make sure that the box next to stripify triangles is checked then press ok.

    Now right click your Nitrishape again and update the tangent space. The mesh should now be ready to go into the game, but there are some things that you should do to it first. Click the pallet next to the NimatirialsProperty, erase whatever name is at the top leave it blank. If you want the glow map to work, you have to move the Emissive color slider to the right towards the white part of the triangle. You can play with the gloss slider depending on your taste. When you’re done press accept. Get rid of the Nitrishape for the MeatCapneckhead. You don’t need it.

     

    Step: 4 change the TSpace flag on your NitrishapeData to 0 in the Block details. Click on BSShaderpplaitingproperty , in the Block details go to shader flags double click on the part that sais Sf buffer, Sf shadow map, … and click on the arrow scroll down and tick SF multiple textures. Now Save.

    Now go test in game

    Update!

    Yeah, it now works in-game, yipeeee! All thanks to Junin. Next step would be:

    -improving textures, and normal map (too shiny)

    -increase glow, etc, etc.

    And then, sword, arm laser, armor... sigh, still a long road ahead. But getting the helmet to work really boosted my morale, OH YEAHHHHH!
