The VG Resource

This is the official submission project thread for the game, and anyone's free to join in. Special thanks to John2k4 for providing the files. This project will work similarly to the Brawl thread. We're going to start by ripping the main characters (all of them except Kirby and Magolor are done though ), enemies and bosses. We'll then move onto the items, copy abilities, etc..

All submissions must include a fully rigged .DAE and a .OBJ with a working .MTL. .SMDs are optional but very welcomed as it gives the end user more options. There are a few models such as Kirby that has UV issues, and will require advanced editing to fix. Therefore, only someone with good knowledge of models/knows how to fix them should claim them. All old claims are marked with an asterisk (*) and are ones that were done previously. You can also only claim up to 5 of anything at one time (not counting claims on previous rips, of course). To find out how to get models from this game ready for submission, see this tutorial, written by me. Now, here is the list of things to rip:

[SPOILER=Characters:]

Note: If you claim Kirby, be sure to include all of the textures from his alternate colors. Not the actual models.

Warning for those who may not have not beaten the game: major spoilers can be found in the list below.

[SPOILER=Bosses & Mini Bosses:]

Check the Enemies list for the link to the Kirby Wiki articles of all the bosses to help you in finding them. Bosses who do not have an EX version are labeled as so. For the rest who do have them, they must be included (in a separate folder) with the normal version. As was with Kirby, Sphere Doomer only needs to have its alternate textures included (in separate folders) for its higher levels.

Bonkers
Dubior
Gigant Edge
Kibble Blade
King Doo
Moundo
Sphere Doomer (lowperModelLv1.brres)
Super Bonkers
Water Galboros
Whispy Woods
Mr. Dooter (DoubterModel.brres)
Fatty Puffer (fattybufferModel.brres)
Goriath (GoliathModel.brres)
Grand Doomer (GrandLowperModel.brres)

And a section icon provided by Chaofanatic:

Icons now added to the first post.

...Along with a new submission! Just another enemy that all of us Kirby fans are familiar with, so it's safe for people like Peardian to look.

[SPOILER=Chilly:]




[/SPOILER]


Also, I've developed a new method so that I can make smooth previews and icons now! No more ugly pixelated previews and icons!

[SPOILER=Another playable character added:]

Meta Knight:




[/SPOILER]


I'll get a few more enemies, then do another playable next!

Oh shoot! Thanks for reminding me. I forgot to add Meta Knight's gear. Durrrrrr. Just updated the post.

Yes, they're different for each character.

[SPOILER=3 more enemies:]

Waddle Dee (Enemy):





Waddle Doo:

Yeah I thought I was gonna get King Dedede, but John hasn't posted him yet so I'll wait. In the meantime, I've got something else you all will love:

OKAY, I've got something reeeeeally nice!

I made them all separate because someone might only want an Invincible Candy or Sandwich model and not wanna download them all. 36 isn't that big of a number anyway!

[SPOILER=King Dedede is done!]





I've also got Bonkers, but I dunno why he's all black & white... would anyone be willing to make the icon for me?




[/SPOILER]

The reason why Bonkers is black-and-white is because he's loading up his "specular" (shinyness) textures instead of his defaults. Just swap the filenames, and you should be able to get the proper appearance for the renders.

Here's Kabu!

You can actually layer the specular map with the normal texture by making the specular texture only affect the specular aspect of the material and not the color,
giving it a more cool shiny textured feel like in the game.

MAJOR SPOILER!!!

I'll get the rest... sometime.

Sounds good.

All the stone statues have their own models & textures, so I'll try to organize that (somehow). :p

Just a bit of a warning, from what I've seen most the Stone statues have texture layers with separate UV mapping channels, so they need to be modified to look proper.

Statues!
