Alright, to start with.. this character IS original.. and took a VERY long time to make for me. Usually I can do such within a week or so.. but this was very much different. >.< A LOT of work went into him.... Before I even get into that. Just know that he IS fully 3D and I used perspective to it's fullest to give that ability to it. He WILL affect your mugen if your PC is not good. Very serious on this. He affects my CPU processing with the EX moves I made for him let alone other such material... Anywho... I made three versions of him. Winmugen, 1.0 Mugen, and Fighter Maker. I prefer 1.0 over win because I keep having a turn/angle/vector issue that I am not sure why... He is NOT finished but very close. All his motions, attacks, and such are done. What I have to do is give him more color pals, more intros, more win poses, fix A.I to perfection, and just maybe... just maybe add one more super.... He works on the same style as my Anubis, Akuma, Jodo Kast, Boba Fett, Sub-Zero, Legion, Darth Vader, Gon, Anahita, Thanatos, and all the other 3D characters I made so far..... I will post other characters at a later time. The video shows two forms of his A.I, some of his attacks and basics, and a few supers. NOT EVERYTHING! Not even close. I was HIGHLY irritated with myself on how LONG and time consuming it was to make him.. T_T His level 3 "Dragon's Soul" has OVER 700 sprites... NO JOKE! Actually.. it has more then 800 sprites... and worst part is it looks rather simplistic.. =( It does exactly what I wanted it to do however, once I seen it over 5 times I was ashamed at how simple looking it is.. =( Maybe someone can give me a idea on how to better improve it if they watch the video. Continuing on, I would like testers.. I am CONSTANTLY finding issues here and there, little mistakes... blah bleh.. And I know I can not find them all. Would very much appreciate someone who KNOWS a lot about how a character SHOULD work... But, since it is in my style "judging" is out of the question. You will need some of my other characters to test them against each other. Then tell me all the bad and all the good. Mainly the bad. cry

..... Literally... Making Izura has cost me a bit of my sanity... He WILL be improved from what you see in the video... Skin tone to modeling is VERY difficult... I am still learning. Let alone trying to create perspective in mugen is NOT easy. Considering mugen IS 2D.... This character was a GREAT learning experience for me. SO much so that I even invented a new A.I algorithm that IS universal with all my characters. =) ... And as a final note ... MORE CHARACTERS TO COME ALL IN 3D!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he makes the models, animate them, then cut them out screen by screen.

You are right but... Rather, I start a animation and save each frame individually. Then after each framed is saved I create a color pal with a background transparent color. It is easy to do this using a direct x viewer for those who can not use Sculptris or Blender. The two programs I use. But to make a original character ANYONE can do it and is VERY EASY! Also for those who want a link, I am giving him out to people who ask for him I can trust with the link... Some people will take the character then upload them else where or give it out like candy to everyone... That is why I must apologize for not having a public link. =( I DID give out Anubis to about 18 people and will do the same with Izura. But only to those I can trust. Sorry.. =(

I will probably have to make a video tutorial on this for you to show how... It is basically, I make a blank skeleton model. No color, no added image. I will give a example here of a blank model.

This will be the armor for Fenrir, another 3D god character I will be making based on Norse religion with a twist... Since Izura is based on Chinese Dragon God. =) But I digress, once you make a skeleton, you need to make a overlaying model to apply to that skeleton. Once you have that then you need to make the mesh for the skin, colors, and a lot of other material... All to which takes a LOT of time. But once all that is done then all you need to do is animate the character then take each frame from the animation you created and size it up, add in a color pal, then add into mugen. ^^

OH!! Okay.. happy

Let me make him a few intros real quick and a few more winning poses and I will upload him to you. Currently he has only three intro poses and one is mainly for against Anubis. So it is not that great for intros yet. And he has only one winning pose so far. But sure I will send him to you. Also, I fixed Anubis even more so I may as well re-upload him again for you so you can have the added intros and such. I made a little oopsie on ANubis that I did not know about till I seen my video and then fixed it afterwards along with that a MUCH better A.I. ^^ I will even send you my Akuma, Boba Fett, And Jodo Kast to boot. All are fixed in moderation. ^^ Just... Boba Fett and Jodo Kast will not have any special intros or win poses made for a while. Oh, no Darth Vader yet will be shown. Having issues with the light saber.... I may trash my idea of making him if I can not get his Light saber to work right. Unless people do not care for a solid light saber and not translucent.. =) Not sure... If no one cares that is is NOT translucent I will finish him up soon. Along with Mara Jade.

yeah thanks. tomorrow is my official last day for this term (in college) lol

btw, upload your chars to your own private whatever file-hosting site (except sendspace, it expires after 30 days of no download) as your back-up for your own purposes (remember you lost your chars before, actually not lost, but corrupted)
then use another link for giving out the chars
that way you have separate links for both

Will do! ^^ And yes I remember.. I lost over two months of work in just one little power out... >.< I am so paranoid because of that now I keep copy pasting everything I do when ever I make a new file or edit something I keep backing it up to a flash drive and other devices and even uploading constantly to 4shared. I hope 4shared is not like sendspace. =/ Thanks for the tip. Those two characters to which were corrupted WILL see the light of day sometime... Just saddly I am going to rip Vincent rather then do all that work again. As for Kyu... I will re-do his sprites and such. Just will not be as good to which he was originally intended. And Kyu is going to be like Tremor from Mortal Kombat. =/ So do not expect anything original from him other then looks, a few specials, and supers. Next character will be a 3D Sub-Zero based off of a skin mod from Street Fighter 4. Rather then ripping I am going to place the skin on a different skeleton. So it will not be M.Bison as to which the skin is for. He will attack his own way. Trying to save time by taking short cuts rather then over due it with so many characters planned out to be made.. T_T
