No More Cel-Shading Heroes

[brokenFUN]

Well, while I was reading NeoGAF I noticed a thread based on THIS thread there (which is pretty freakin sweet). Unfortunately I cannot post on NeoGAF as my registration has been declined for no reason at all, twice (apparently I do not meet the requirements to post on that page?). :(

lol they know we have our eye on em.

[Wii Will Rock U]

We need to sticky an 'uncanny valley' FAQ thread so people will quit using this incorrectly.

I think the eyes look more alive than Soul Calibur 4 characters'.

BTW thanks for reposting the pic for the new page =P

Ive not played the game in a while, but does bad girl have a chest that big in the game? During my google 'research' for the answer i discovered NMH cosplay...

Looks like one of the Olsen twins.

Which one of the Olsen twins has jugs that big?

[Vinnk]

I can't see gamefaqs at work. Were there any other pics, or is the bad girl the only one?

[Totobeni]

that just another bad game design decision from Suda IMO .

anyway , Cel-less character model look good , What a waste , with that heavy shading they lokk like crap and lost all the details.

and since it was a Xbox 360 game first I wonder if Suda wanted Vesperia/Sonata Cel-Shaded quality ( something like the like the first trailer ) for his game when it was on 360 .

Bad Girl is the only one so far.

[HK-47]

@ the look on Marcus's face

[Vinnk]

So these are the models actually being used but just have a layer of shading over them? NMH has a bit of a jerky framerate but it might have been smoother without the extra processing the shading uses? Is this a correct assumption?

[Baiano19]

HOLY CRAp!!



one of the best counter-derailments ever!

[bdizzle]

NMH looked horrible to me, so seeing this makes me wish they'd skip the cel shading altogether

[Hazaro]

Oh shit awesome.

[Hunter D]

Oh shit awesome.

New desktop.

[Dash Kappei]

PRESSING 2 TO BLOCK IS THE WORST IDEA EVER PUT INTO ANY GAME EVER!!!

No wonder you're no longer a member, jeebus you didn't even bother to play the game and yet you make up shit about it.

Sweet mode: Auto block when standing still

Normal/Hard mode: Press Z (nunchuck) to lock-on target and to block

"2" Button: toggle map display on/off


Ciao.

[Mamesj]

so dense

[Stormbringer]

Awesome :o . Can't wait to see the rest of the cast.


By the way, for those wondering :

To answer the question about 'texture quality', yes - these are the original untouched textures. They are of 512x512 and 1024x1024 quality on average, which only furthers the idea that this title originally started out on another system, as a game designed solely to display at 480p wouldn't really need textures this high in resolution (256x256 to 512x512 would be the highest you'd normally see).

I'm in love with her nose.

[Frencherman]

Her Legs seems to be hairy :/

[comedy bomb]

Why is her body so long?

whoa some good stuff.

Not to generalize, but..... dating those kinds of girls is a curse. You can only imagine the kind of attention they get all their lives. It makes alot of them hate being in public often. So their life becomes a swing of unnatural habits because they hate being social (and rightly so). If you date her, you become the center of her attention. You make it worth it for her and give your all for her. And it's beautiful.....so long as you are there with her. But that's the problem. You can't be with her 24/7. You have to go to work, go to school, engage family responsibilities, etc. And that's where it all came crashing down. I would have to be gone 1/3 of the day, and in that time she got lonely because she wouldn't want to go out. (She was a nurse so the only time she got out often was during her shift, and then went straight back home). The problem would be that she'd be home and I would have to be out, and so she would get lonely because she wouldn't want to go out with her few friends. So what did she turn to? The internet, and being the fool I was, I never bothered to question what she would do online. Turned out she had tons of accounts on all these 'personals' sites, and sent all these ''extremely nice'' emails to guys from all over the continent. Needless to say I felt my heart skip a few heart beats. I gave her a month to confess with clues here and there, and when she still tried to deny it, I broke things off. A year of intimacy and happiness I had never known before, gone. I was not myself for a few weeks, and so I just tried to keep myself from falling apart for a month, and kept to my duties. When I felt slightly better from the ordeal, her sister in law informed me she began dating another guy 2 days after I broke things off. The most ironic thing about this time is that I was taking a health class and the professor told me she had been a recent divorcee because she caught her husband engaging in dating sites online. And I brushed it off, thinking it could never happen to me.

that movie was so corny

[MrWhitefolks]

Sweet, I finally got pushed through and now I'm a member!

In turn, I figured you guys would like a sneak peak at the latest models that were tossed at me for beta testing (and promo work):

Her Legs seems to be hairy :/

Yeah, unfortunately her leg textures are pretty low end looking (her stocking straps, skin and underwear are all just a painted on texture - it's pretty awful looking). I could go back and try to redo them from scratch, but I'm not sure if people would like me messing with the original look so much. I mean, we've already gone and put these out there without the cel shading, and that caused a pretty big stir amongst fans), so I think for now I'll stick with basic palette swap style reskins (even if they suck, I like working on them).

[drohne]

awesome. DO HOLLY SUMMERS PLS

[Jocchan]

Sweet.
Mr Whitefolks, might I ask you kindly for higher resolution pictures (1920x1080) of the Travis one? I'd like to make it any of them my wallpaper.
Thanks in advance.


EDIT: edited because they're all awesome.

[RetroGamer42]

I'm always so impressed with the things that can be done in Gary's Mod. I can barely get the models to stand up.

[TunaLover]
