functional 3d models for brawlers

[brave idol]

just got obssesed with the anime again so decided to start modeling every brawler from scratch with functional rigging

currently working on anubias bc i love his design

[graceful sonnet]

lookin forward to it

[whole fern]

cool

[neat aspen]

👀

[whole fern]

will this include alternate outfits for characters that have them

I may or may not get involved in this

[brave idol]

I will focus on characters with a human design that never got a model first then remodel the og squad and new vestroia characters

After that i might look at alternate outfits and non human designs

Still its a lot of models even without remodels since i do include bg characters like the dark angels

[whole fern]

got it

[neat aspen]

Fuzzy, you're a saint

[brave idol]

anubias basic proportions mapped out cant be bothered to clean up his bodys topo after optimizing his face mesh
(showing base sculpt, sculpt+ base color, wireframes)

with sideview as well scalp is missing as to have less clipping for hair collisions later on finding solid refrence for mechtanium surge is so hard since i cant find any refrece sheets

[graceful sonnet]

ngl rn he kinda reminds me of when brock and misty got turned into dolls by sabrina (prob the lil stub hands and feet). keep it up man

[brave idol]

hands im gonna model later bc of how complicated they are to setup correctly feet are stubby as in prep for his shoes

[graceful sonnet]

oh yeah i'd imagine.

just gave me visions of this (prob cause i watched this ep recently)

[brave idol]

its kinda giving that hahaha

last screenshot for today but a sideby side of the faces
cant wait to setup and model his mouth with fangs that need shapekeys probably

[brave idol]

(it would be so nice if anubias doesnt change height every single scene hes in urgh)

[graceful sonnet]

legit only anubias ref sheet i have is this expression one so not much use

[brave idol]

yeah only one i could find as well like other seasons had some pretty good documentation of design sheets if i remember correctly

(also prominent characters are more consistent proportions wise etc.)

shrunk him down a head i think it feels better but idk man mechtanium surge official artbook when

[graceful sonnet]

tbh ya just gotta get lucky with what ppl find

Gi seems the most documented as alot of its production sheet and colour designs are online

i do have this height chart image

[brave idol]

yeah and battle brawlers and new vestroia have the advantage of a looooottt of side and front shots

[graceful sonnet]

true

i mean there prob is a ton of side shots of anubis but just not on his wiki pages

[brave idol]

i refuse to believe anubias somehow is the same height as dan

[graceful sonnet]

he's a tad taller but mostly by hair

[brave idol]

trust me i searched the shots that have from the side have him at an angle

and he does not have a solid full body shot

[graceful sonnet]

fair enough

[brave idol]

wait doesnt dan have a canon height?

like in cm

[graceful sonnet]

uhh dont think so

nope

[graceful sonnet]

best i can find is this from ep 6

[brave idol]

me seeing that after download shun quickly

i cannntttt witthhh thisssss

[brave idol]

@graceful sonnet tysm for the help with refrence he looks a lot better now

[graceful sonnet]

np

[neat aspen]

You can do it

[lofty valve]

[neat aspen]

Exactly

[brave idol]

didnt want to work anymore on the pants so gave myself a little treat by working on the hair

[violet ledge]

he looks so cool, amazing job

[brave idol]

tysm it was halfway through the hair i noticed i still had ears to model lmao

[graceful sonnet]

lmao

he doesnt need to hear

[violet ledge]

oh

lol

[brave idol]

dw thats fixed now lmao

who wants to pet his mullet?

(still a wip since he has just an insane hairstyle to model accuratly

[violet ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/hey-thats-right-pretty-good-amazing-gif-20161005

[graceful sonnet]

need me to attempt to find a side view? or is this one with dylan good

[brave idol]

im kinda freestyling it

bc the front wont work exactly from the side so im just modeling so the side mostly resembles the anime but just looks good from all angles

[brave idol]

like even in this screenshot his whole body is sideview but his hair is somehow at angle according to the front view

[graceful sonnet]

yeah

it makes no sense when i looked at it

[brave idol]

basic animation stuff lmao

animation is hard enough so i can forgive the mistakes

[graceful sonnet]

its like mickey mouse his ears rotate to keep the silhouette alive

[brave idol]

makes it hell to model based on it thoughhh

[brave idol]

mhmmm

what if i pit a bone in anubias his hair and just rotate it to the camara every frame

[graceful sonnet]

would be really funny

[brave idol]

is it 100% accurate no does he look good in 98% of angles yes

[graceful sonnet]

ngl looks nice

[brave idol]

i just caant wait to fully finish the modeling part so i can texture

love miss substance painter

[neat aspen]

He's a super saiyan frfr

[brave idol]

was gonna patch this clipping up but then remember his jacket is glued to his torso and it gets covered anyways

[brave idol]

who of these 2 divas am i moddeling next

[lofty valve]

Zenet.

[lofty valve]

Don't give into Poke and Sellon.

[brave idol]

i mostly put sellon there so i can basiclly finish up mechtanium surges cast

[graceful sonnet]

beg your pardon.

she's a queen

[lofty valve]

Your queen is in another castle.

[graceful sonnet]

i like zenet too

HOWEVER

sellon.

[brave idol]

if your ever intimidated by anubias realize he looks like this without his glove jacket

[graceful sonnet]

bro looks like he's just wearing tape

[brave idol]

his top is genuinely just belts

he looks so weird without his jacket

[violet ledge]

He looks amazing

What sellon?

Shes die

[graceful sonnet]

NOOO

DONT DO THIS TO HER

[violet ledge]

To late

It’s for the Good of All

[brave idol]

not this form

u refus to do non human forms

[violet ledge]

Neathian form or human doesn’t matter bc she die

[brave idol]

oh wow

anubias model doesnt exist ig

[violet ledge]

Anubias exist

Hes goat

🗿

[graceful sonnet]

he also died.

[violet ledge]

Nuh uh

[graceful sonnet]

i may not have a gif like you sick freaks

but death

[lofty valve]

Anubis and Sellon were temporary.

[graceful sonnet]

tbh i thought the whole belt top was a exaggeration. jesus

[brave idol]

i wish they werent

especially anubias

i wanted to see his relation with noah grow and be him more like a mentor role for him

[lofty valve]

If it wasn't split into two arcs with different cast, potentially.

[violet ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/jake-crying-gif-15896901980625544793

[brave idol]

can we agree that the 2nd half of mechtanium surge is kinda not good?

[violet ledge]

Its not good

they should end after season 3

or after part 1 s4

[neat aspen]

In another castle bud

[brave idol]

right

p2 of s4 just rlly feels purely to sell overpriced toys

[neat aspen]

It is

[brave idol]

that aside i still wish s4 had gone different and less of the mag mel stuff and more just focusing on sellon and anubias within more of the s1 style where only near the end the plot gets more serious

(i would still kill for an ending where anubias gets a redemption arc so he can mentor noah more)

[violet ledge]

s4 part 1 could be better if we have gs and canon effects of abilitys

and not spam abilitys lights and mechtogans

[graceful sonnet]

tbf tho. mechtogans werent the main battle winners till like the midpoint when they go to gundalia for war.

i will defend mechtogans! THEIR SOUND DESIGNS FOR SUMMON IS JUST MWAH.

[brave idol]

update i showed bestie who knows nothing about bakugan zenet and sellon and she called them
zenet: she fell into a bargain bin and said i take it!
sellon: gothic diy troom troom lemme sew a dress to cardigan with a mesh top underneath lady

[brave idol]

jp has different music and sound effects and it pisses me offfff

[graceful sonnet]

the jp sound effects usually are retained tho between it and dub

if anything dub adds more

[brave idol]

i love jps voiceacting a lot more but i like engs bgm and sound effects more

[violet ledge]

True but a lot do bakugans don’t have a lot of abilitys

[graceful sonnet]

valid

[violet ledge]

Except for Horridian or Spyron for the part of Chaos army

[graceful sonnet]

like the mechtogan summoning is one i can surely say is the same between dub and sub for sound effects

[violet ledge]

But could be Interesting see gs description

[brave idol]

lets be real here

s2 2nd half got a little coocoo bananas with the g powers

s3 amped it up even more

and s4 i think they just didnt care anymore to show it bc the difference between the pyshical game and anime wouldve been just too big

[runic junco]

zenet the queen of s3

[graceful sonnet]

damn guess im takin a l

[neat aspen]

Who's the queen of s1? I say Alice

[runic junco]

yeah take you stink sellon away

[graceful sonnet]

i mean either way sellon is gonna be done. so no matter if i win or lose my queen will come

[brave idol]

yuh

bc i litterly just have to add lips to anubias his face and the face is done

lowkey just wanna model noah as well and call it a day after sellon and noah for mechtanium surge

[neat aspen]

The lips

[graceful sonnet]

what about the rest of anubias and sellons lackeys

i mean teammates, yeah

[brave idol]

omg where did you find that!??

[graceful sonnet]

settei dreams

they got mostly gi stuff tho

[brave idol]

amazing anubias base sculpt is almost done btw

got to his coat yesterday

[graceful sonnet]

https://setteidreams.net/color-designs/bakugan-battle-brawlers/

[brave idol]

quick little shader i threw together

(not high resolution bc this is preview window)

[neat aspen]

Looking good

[runic junco]

nice work

[violet ledge]

hey, amazing work

[brave idol]

update after a good bit i almost finished his model im not gonna fully finish it because i realized i made some mistakes that i will iron out later or just fully remodel him but got a good base for animation testing etc.

the errors that really make me want to redo him is just optimization stuff because i want the models i make to be really optimized so even the most potato computers can easily load em

[violet ledge]

Nice Job

[brave idol]

runo part 2 the remix

(i know i said id do zenit first but since runos head/body is also used as the female playable character model im doing at least her head/body first)

[brave idol]

i actually used a different sheet

this one had a better front view

[graceful sonnet]

shame theres no good quality of the nv sheets tho

for her and julie

[brave idol]

gonna do her mechtanium version anyways

[brave idol]

Fiesta, salsa, quinceañera, baila
Siente el ritmo, ponte a sonreír
Ven conmigo

[violet ledge]

Sabes hablar español?

[graceful sonnet]

oh if you're after that hol on

there we go

im a crack addict for this type of thing.

[lofty valve]

It's noticeable.

[graceful sonnet]

hush

[lofty valve]

😊

[brave idol]

[brave idol]

[whole fern]

[graceful sonnet]

[brave idol]

Me who just forgot about this chat and almost has runo fully done.....

Like her bangs are killing me thats all

like this is what i got

[whole fern]

Are there updates

[brave idol]

Ive put these models aside for now because i want to focus on my study more atm
once ill start up again il let you know!

I also was making these mostly for my own fangame but due to me f'ing up some stuff ive deleted all wips associated to it because i do believe if i where to start again i would eventually just remodel existing models

[brave idol]

[violet ledge]

amazing job
