i think it's just going to have to be completely original anyways
0_0
(this is what it looks like for reference)
oh thats very cute
honestly using that as reference wouldn't be a bad idea
their colors are a bit off though so that needs correcting
true actually that pose is fun
"those enemies, obliterate them. now"
it makes sense too since weapons are invisible
its a feature not a bug!
cutins are 1024x256 right
(i actually did use these as reference when making follow up fixes)
kiwamiless ps2 portraits wow
oh wow they really are faithful to the og cut-ins
thats thats what i meant with this weird comment
you're not going to embed a file that large in your epl are you
i will draw you rise smiley to make up for this blunder tomorrow
even the p3 ones are faithful to portable
YES
PLEASE
can you censor that
no
get that fraud out of here
akifreako
I don't want to see ult*max akihiko here
butchered uncle
oh ok YAYYY
teehee
-# He's kinda hot
whatever sails your ship
he needs to be put down
new static aoa will be this week
it's gonna be funny as hell seeing this one and then the P4G one together
yeah LOL
It's a bit immersion breaking, I don't have the excuse of kasumi and ||sumire||
if anyone could find the image used for the reflection that would be appreciated also 🙂↕️ trying to look for it myself
alr going back to the model mines 😔
@lucid crag let me know when you're satisfied with the result portrait thingy
give me a bit with that one
yeah no prob
I won't have much time this week to work on it
I posted it so that if someone wants to touch it up themselves they can
I know what I need to do with the eyes, but the aliasing kinda needs to be addressed
...have you tried antialiasing it
thats what i did for my second versions
thread pretty active now so if you're not a lurker, check pins or #yusukes-art-gallery for the new party panels :)
I need to do that lol I just have no idea how to do so with pdn
I forget do you use gimp or pdn?
gimp
ah, yeahhhhh I don't use gimp lol
I know there's an anti aliasing plugin for pdn but it's probably not as good as I need it to be
honestly I think it probably needs more anti aliasing
probably needs manual touchup afterwards 😔
all roads lead to manual touchup
(sadly gimps antialias filter doesnt work too well past the first pass)
gonna indoctrinate you into using gimp oooo
that manual touchup is gonna be rather substantial huh...
scary
the thing that's annoying about contrast adjustments like this is that it's either black or white, which I mean that makes sense but the lack of grays means you lose anti aliasing detail
could probably be partly addressed by using a higher resolution source...
@zealous orchid do you have access to those high res p4 bustups....
he sent me one
(honestly it's seeming like the easiest solution is to just use those and then restart this process)
does that have both winter and summer?
checking
i dont use adobe software so excuse me this might take a while to open LOL
I think pdn has native support for psd files
it doesn't actually i tried
but i think it does have a plugin
which i am looking for
someone send a non psd ver
nobody has one 😭
oh nvm, mine opens them natively so maybe I have a plugin for it
yeah
summer and winter casual
what is this even from anyways
no clue where adrien got it
wow now i can see the mistakes in ultra high definition
point em out!
found one
stray pixel in the shading
i say "mistakes" but more like strange inconsistencies and stuff
like whatever the hell is going on with her skin here
her lips are so freakin glossy
oh god shes white
whoa, a white guy
yeah I think you end up having to do manual work to make it look good because the contrast kinda eliminates a lot of shadows that should be there
yeah thats why i split up the parts in my other mockup
I did something similar with the one I did but then I had to do a lot of manual touchup anyways...
I think whenever I tackle the next draft I'll use the high quality rise for her head and hair bc the outfits probably won't be as much work to clean up
if there are ones of the summer yaso lemme know
need it for... reasons (its typically the cleanest outside of the swimsuit bustups)
they just universally forgot to do airbrush stuff for the swimsuit bustups for quite a few characters (most notably, kanji, rise, and chie)
which makes it easier to reverse engineer stuff and all that
unfort thats the only one out there

Yea, you should



sheesh the quality of this is quite something
i need this one ngl
can we add this to pmodding
Additional notes for battle models
I obviously can't keep the MC persona callouts (Rise doesn't just sound like that, how unfortunate) but they're not located in the .pac acb so im wondering if
there's just an acb with a single line in each persona model
oh and I was gonna try to smite izanagi in favour of himiko and see if that turns out to be anything
I'm honestly fine with izanagi if that doesn't work out though
oh hey that worked
definitely looks odd from the back camera angle
Is this too distracting to you guys or does it look passable
the clipping is a bit distracting
right
Himiko dumpy
persona callouts are in sound/adx2/en/btlmem.awb
she has bad posture
oh cool
i can just nuke that
Mind if I ask? Will you use himiko's animation when she occasionally buffs the team?
those are her animations
This one she puts one of her arms up
she only has 4
Might be misunderstanding but in case I'm not, just don't nuke the whole file though because it contains everyone else's battle lines too. Persona callouts are the first 209 lines
yeah no problem 😭
Give her a better chair cause she needs it bad
Go gettem clone
i didnt even realize rirurin and moddaman were here hi guys
the mega lurkers
you're one to talk
There's 2 of them... (DOUBLE THE CAKES, AND DOUBLE THE PEAK!)

not something to be sorry about
Theres 45 people in here and like 10 of them talk
If anything I'm pretty happy people care enough to check in every once in a while, I've rarely made public threads on my stuff, even social stat tracker was a help post rather than concept (though thats more a mistake)
So how's the mod doing so far?
you're free to scroll through the thread, i don't really do progress reports
dear god it’s Ronald Reagan
hello
Mighty @gentle flame, are you making new animations or just reusing existing ones? I ask because I am amazed by the progress so far and as a mod creator (trying to), I am thinking about using characters that were previously not used in battle too.
ah I've ranted about it in this thread before but I don't understand p4g animation intricacies at all. I'm taking existing ones and retargeting (putting someones animations on a model that doesn't have them) those to specific models
Someone I had a conversation with a while ago can attest to the fact that animation work with generic model objects is superhell
nikkimp is working on yukiko as protagonist, if you wanna do x party member as protagonist it's just a matter of swapping battle assets
except for rise, unfortunately
Haha
Good work for you
I am rooting
Ah, just let me ask something else, what do you plan on doing with Rise's persona's affinities/weaknesses/skills?
In the vanilla, she's much like shinji and metis, no weaknesses but no resistances
Are you planning on messing with this topic? Or just appearance overall?
you could probably just copy over izanagi stats, she does use some electricity based moves in arena anyways
every him has its iko
if i can even get the animations right
else I'll just use izanagi
Today, I bought monster hunter: rise. therefore, take this picture
Rise has actually hunted monsters before persona 4 happened.
This is true
When’s the monster hunter rise: Rise as protagonist mod coming?
haven't reported in a while, hi! i'm still working, just been on a short break
feel like i need to disclose those
I've been playing mh rise and trying out some graphic design thingies
that's irrelevant anyway, finishing up battle model *(nuking persona callouts) and trying to get himiko looking good are tge last steps
Then I have to edit all weapon descriptions and copypaste my animation set onto all costumes
If you couldn't tell I'm trying to avoid npc model work
yupdate! Considering other work involved with trying to throw himiko over izanagi, I've decided to leave that for now > possibly may come back to it when this is finished and additional updates can be considered
TL;DR, he stays
Had a stupid idea, make Rise nav form be her grandmother
just make it blank
gilf kujikawa design...
making the realization that i'm very much working on this in bursts lol
I'm trying to avoid burnout again because this is something i want to have fun with, I just need to be more efficient with setting aside time to work on this instead of doing it on a whim
I've been doing the same lately for my mods, I haven't even done any substantial modding in a few months
yeah im treating it like a game instead of a hobby
Noticing the same with myself as well
it has a knob.. so cool
Ty adrien
welcome
so not every battle .pac has identical voicelines
now i have to test other costumes
sobs
im revising this anyway might aswell
bummer that arena voicelines are 2x as compressed
adding jp voice compatibility 
actually why are jp voicelines twice as compressed as en ones lmao
thats so weird
arena rise has some really good lines
i knew i recalled a mod fixing the low quality ass jp lines from somewhere
p4g32
The weirdo part is funny
she's got more lines like that in arena but i need short grunts for protag
but i'd also have to do that for jp...........
gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
how about i dont give myself more work
Rise after being alone with Yu:
need to rearrange order for voicelines even though i laid them out like atlus did
thx game
what do you MEAAAAAAN
i dont need "what" to play there and hit lines regurgitate a single one why are you doing this shit to me game
ok i had never heard her voiceline for dodging an attack
but now i never want to hear it again
have you never played p4g
(also what's wrong with it)
i have but i never dodged anything 
reach out to the truth is starting to bother me
i really wanna use this just because it reminds me of may
may guilty gear not may pokemon
jp pack
still needs rearranging but brrrrrrrrrrrr
yeah im keeping it like this
battle models are now 100% done, im not doing custom victory anims per model yet, maybe a future consideration but she has like 2 i can use
i think its time to do battle costumes
my last distraction before being dragged back to event hell
and p4gmodelconverter decides to shit itself
thank you!
and now models turn invisible
looks like im gonna have to redo the animation battle set all over
nevermind this is literally just a p4gmodelconverter issue
why the fuck does it just decide to break on me now
last resort or else im just gonna have to degrade
if i cant get p4gmodelconverter working then its legit over, i wouldnt be able to work on this anymore

holy shit??
this is so much better
no broken models either
p4gmodel (no seriously they just cut converter)
its a beta release of a better p4gmodelconverter shrinefox made
has a warning to not use for serious projects because its mega buggy but i dont really have a choice lol
IT CAN EXPORT AS AMD
I DONT EVEN NEED GMO2AMD ANYMORE
shrinefox my goat
doesnt look like this wants to help me either 🧍🏼♂️
Im gonna have to ask you @lucid crag if you have any build of p4gmodelconverter to share because mine seems straight up broken
I cannot work on this project until shits normal again
uh sure I can check my PC tn but I don't know if it would help you tbh
I am noticing an error when generating new gmos but I dont know whats causing it at all
Its not even just my battle model its completely fucked
I dont wanna drop this just because the software crapped out on me
shame that pio build of p4gmodelconverter got trashed, wonder if anyone still has it
so it seems that fix output gmo completely destroys the model? 😭
no fix
fix
that was actually just it
fix gmo was ruining everything
i kinda like the point filter more
yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....................
i dont know what to do anymore
it works everywhere except in-game
HUH
huh
HUYH???H
HUhh?/?????/
WHY ARE WEAPONS LOADING NOW
i was replacing the model data with a converted amd rather than gmo so thats my mistake
but WHY THE FUCK DO WEAPONS WORK
now im completely lost
do i run with it and give her animations for weapons or do i just go with the invisible weapon strat
the mysteriously working weapons
She looks so cute with the bat lmao
tbh do what's easier for you
Weapon animations would be cool but it's not worth your sanity if they keep disappearing into the ether
the entire problem before was weapons straight up not loading so i borrowed anims that looked good enough physically
but now that they do load i just
i cant take yukiko anims cuz that breaks her hair
if replacing weapon models goes the way i want then
i'll do naoto animations
if not i'll have to purposefully make them invis
it seems like everytime p4gmodelconverter takes something away it gives me another thing i wanted in return
JOLY SHIUT
IT WORKED
OKAY I GUESS WE'RE DOING NAOTO
just one problem left
effect tracks
i need gun sound effects not metal bat sound effects
and idk how/if they can be replaced
nah i think it'd be hilarious if the gun made bat sounds
thats cool but i want this to sound right
rise doesnt know how to use it and just pistol whips enemies
She saw it in a movie once
TELL ME WHAT YOU SAW ANGEL
"naoto how the fuck do i use this thing"
starts hitting people with the stock
if anyone at all has any information about how weapon sound effects work please telly
I FOUBND THEM
AHHASFDHASHKDFHAHSDHAS
this is like every sound effect in one acb
theres 260 how do i even pick what to replace
and of course theres p3p sound effects in there god.........
okay bse_001 through 39 are weapon sfx far as i can tell
now i have to filter out protag weapons
i've been laughing at this sound effect for 20 minutes i need to get to work
thank you angel
alright
testing some sfx, lots of weapons reuse the same ones so i should only replace like 10 at best
it worky
lmao the "what?"
looking cool joker though
yeah but this is technically still the metal bat so im afraid naoto anims will just make the sound effect not line up with anim again
oh yeah ; weapons you get through quests and such, i'd have to rename those in their right locations too
i have given myself more work to do again
cheers
WTF THAT WORKED
gonna replace every weapon model now and then go to sleep play mgs3 cuz i dont feel like testing sfx
thats NOT HOW YOU HOLD IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha gun!
"I WON'T HESITATE BITCH"
"Rise you have the safety on"
its been a while
its time to finish up battle and weapon models then fix descriptions
Unfortunate news: adrien is just way too busy to be able to do stuff for this project(which they were working on for nothing, mind you) on the side so no more custom 2d assets for the foreseeable future, luckily got one of the most important ones in already so i'll make due with existing assets
that also means that if someone else is interested in drawing a thumbnail, please dm me
finished touching up sfx! (i think)
very happy with how this turned out
never thought i'd see the day where i would be happy about getting to work on animations again
planned battle costumes..! she doesn't have that many so i'll either have to cut costumes/reuse models, sorry🥹
Summer Casual
Winter Casual
Yukata
Swimsuit
Bathtowel
Marukyu Apron
Midwinter uniform
Midwinter casual
Ski gear
Epilogue
oh shit i got the wrong swimsuit model LMAO
im extremely biased toward ski gear.
love dis outfit
animation set is 100% done now, i can copy and paste
i dont wanna take away variety in outfit benefits so im just gonna have to slap the same ones onto most of them
to save myself the work, i wont rename them though, can however fix the description
heads up for costumes, the card object doesnt exist for models that aren't her standard school uniforms so it'll just not summon one for persona animations, and heat up rise's feet in the victory anim as she stares blankly
not too upset at it, the animations dont lose much without the card
Real
what the fuck??
the way her hair shifts bcz of naoto anims is kind of cute lol
rise wants YOU for persona 4 golden
the yukata curse
its either keep the jank or ditch the yukata costume..
12/25 costumes implemented, rest are gonna have to be reused
descriptions will be edited accordingly so you dont get confuzzled
so i went back and it looks like its a tradeoff between having the arcana card or weapons being visible??
im not even gonna bother
quick little costume reel :)
shes quite fond of this gun
dream sequence battle model also fixed
thats all im touching for today
i'll leave text stuff to tomorrow
so mudkip just put out a tool that could potentially save a lot of npc models
i may have just wiped all my personal files with no backup💀💀💀
Hi guys im competent, i swear!
yeah no my pc is totally fucked i am so sorry
my network adapter has been killing itself for weeks now and windows has decided to also murder my ssd
welp those are like 60 hours of progress lost
i would take my time to formerly apologize but i need to repair this.
if you're worried: no, im not abandoning it, i'll just have to rebuild from scratch
oh well atleast i can assure quality sooner now that i know more
no way 😭😭
that fucking sucks
you're seriously telling me to swap to linux for modding
yes 
reinstalling my gaems.. i've set up my work environment again so i can restart tonight
this is like the sahara if the sahara was a persona modding discord
im sorry for lack of anything really i've honestly just been playing stuff to keep this off my mind
genuinely dreading all the work i have to redo but its so okay
i probably wont post anything substantial until im atleast back to where i was before
meaning finished battle models
/weapons/sfx
told you i wasn't abandoning it
what do you have to redo here/anything I can do to help? I probably have a small bit of time if you have a process
i dont really know where to start haha theres so much model stuff to do
You could try following the pinned guide i have for npc models here but i probably need to get back into my own workflow first
literally everythings gone so any model will work
good afternoon risettelings
real 100% certified development is restarting today i been gaming 2 much
reminder that my anim retargeting guide is pinned and it would be a great help if people managed to knock out a few models while i work on battle stuff
ah maybe i should add gmostudio to the guide
cuz this is my own scuffed way of doing it and i know that can import parts from other gmos so objects like chopsticks might not break with it
okay i think i figured out weapons
i lied
i think im gonna switch it up and leave battle stuff for later its giving me a headache
yay
shouldn't have taken away his phone
simple field models replaced again
Sorry for dropping in so unexpectedly, but could you tell me what the title of the music is?
Also, I really respect this project!
Automatic - Hikaru Utada
Thank you so much for responding!
Can't Wait to do the Rise Rotation! (Rise version of narukami shuffle)
I actually recorded that but didnt bother editing it
thats MOTHER
she's so amazing
renaming this to utada fanclub
was listening to simple and clean before i finished kingdom hearts

i love her sm
Revising my workflow and documentation by saving animations individually (1 by 1) to make it easier on myself working on events
This does mean it'll take a bit longer than usual because I'm keeping track of everything but it provides more insight for both of us
looks something like this
sorry about the lack of exciting stuff
i dont have a lot to show you now that im working on more stuff related to documentation and event models
but the inside models actually have no shoes now so yay
some animations i straight up cant substitute so until i learn to animate myself it'll have to be default protag anims
im manually editing most events to be more in line with rise's though
thats the part that takes so long
actually pretty happy with this one, managed to find more anims than i thought i could
everything up until the nightmare battle is re-done and improved
WE'RE SO BACK
Finally p4g is gonna be actually playable
should've done the individual anim thing way sooner it actually makes things fun for me
i'm kind of working on an in-game day by day basis (tackling every possible event available on a single day excluding dungeon stuff) cuz this mod already warrants a full playthrough
im like my own playtester
i dun think i ever showed the no-glasses panel ingame
no weapons again
sick shot though
im back to the point where i can debate weapons/no weapons
i have chie's animations ready and they look okay enough
but the guns are really cool
however
i cant even get them to show up and i'd have to edit weapon names and descriptions in multiple instances like menu/quests/shops
I think i'm just gonna take the no weapons route and if I ever manage to get them working again I'll make it a config option
rise should beat up people with her mind
why dont you take charge of the project
school
Can we see Rise kung fu
jokes and all that aside, you're doing a great job, and it looks amazing
sorry if i got on your nerves with the previous comment
no no it was meant to be lighthearted 😭
if anything it's a little less lonely when people crack jokes in here LMAO
i could point out 800 things wrong with the battle model like the skirt deforming when guarding but this is the best i can manage without diving into custom animation
yukiko would 100% fit better here but her hair bones make rises ponytails stand on end
It's fine reality bending comes free with being a navi
its bad
can i see this
LMAO
i'll stick with namine ty
her bangs also move depending on whos animations im using
call it my own fucked up physics
The all natural blowout
Those are her antennae
A healthy Rise has them stick up when she's excited
naoto
the fucking idle pose is so funny
it was either that or the second idle
isnt there an idle where she has her hands at the side?
if atlus changes her idle in p4r i will cry and shit and shit and cry
i think that one makes more sense for combat at least
thats what my battle models used before the wipe, but i went for the first this time just bcz of the idle animation
you barely see it but i need consistency
or this could be the idle
you
Decisions decisions
i'll let that sort itself out and knock battle stuff outta the way tomorrow
make option 1 a config option i beg 😭😭
that was the plan already
now im imagining yu doing his hand on hip overworld idle in battle
Idle poll yay
10
14
2
Idle 2 (hands at sides)
boooooo
😭
fire alarm pose is superior
not according to the people its not
they just don't know what they're missing
moved to 2.5
i moved from 2.5 to base r2 since wpf is fucky wucky on linux :3
strangle a penguin and get away with it
🐧
the people are wrong
didn't p5 teach us that the masses are easily swayed wrong
you'll get your fire alarm pose soon enough
have patience
i lied
i want a text config option picking between battle model A and battle model B
just a bit stumped its giving me a headach
its so cool that theres different voicelines depending on where you're at ingame but also FUCK
forgot to mention
its a dependency now
theres so many cool voicelines to pick from too
i could make like
a separate addon for more spoken lines rather than grunts
I know how to do code configs
which is not Mira but I could throw something together later if you'd like
yeah i actually looked into the fog restoration github
ik everyone loves codeless configs lol but I learned to do configs with code well before codeless existed
that'd be lovely! though im probably going to need more options in the future so if you dont mind explaining (if you can find the time) the gist of it that would be stellar
I can later
once it's thrown together you could also probably figure it out by looking at it, it's not hard
got it
"I have a gift for you... promise you won't get mad?"
im just gonna give her the gun for visual purpose and keep the kick
yeah
or if theres some way to just load nothing in place of a weapon model
i'd rather do that
In the Steam settings or the voice language settings?
birb
The word.
Incoming mod rename?
he'd vibe to heartbreak instead of doing anything else
no
who's that cool person who made the first mod
friends? idk never heard of them
He's clearly talking about &.
Ok, I think I've been out for so long. Is that a cockroach? Wth happened? 😭
It's that one Mexican cucaracha meme(?)
thats a birb
It's 'birb as protagonist mod' now? 😭
yea currently in dev rn
yeah i converted her
im still getting behind the logistics of voicelines
I know how to replace them and i know how to call them
But the order seems way fucked
there are 4 explitcitly labeled magic and attack but when you perform a magic spell one of the hurt lines in my .awb plays
so i end up having to scramble the order to get the intended results
Can't wait to play birb as protagonist because getting sick and tired playing as Yu /j
So how has things been going?
i work on this mod in bursts and have been leaving it aside for the past month
theres nothing getting in my way this is just a massive project that i only report on occasionally and honestly my bad because theres so many people in this thread now and its kind of scary but. yeah im still working :))
it doesnt exactly help that most of my progress isnt something i can immediately showcase lol. getting footage of like every event would be a devastating blow to my time and storage
I’m hyped for it 🙂 take your time
wrong game you two
Pls don‘t pressure yourself lol its okk
Take your time and think abt yourself first 
Tho that reminds me to finish some of my stuff aswell ehe
its almost like its not a game
It's like there's no robot ai challenging you
It seems ive been directed to the exact place i been wondering about
this fucked up way of holding weapons is kinda growing on me
"I have a gift for you, promise you won't be mad"
mah gmoview turned evil
"If you look long enough into the void, the void begins to look back through you."
two events i felt were important to get to [nanako making breakfast/walking to school for the first time]
“I just wanna talk to them”
i like how she stops to assume a dominance stance whenever she stands still
RISE AS PROTAG MOD UPDATES ON HER BIRTHDAY... god is real

perhaps atlus themselves beckoned to me to get back to work
If there was glass on the fire alarm and Rise had to break it she'd destroy the entire pull alarm.
Doesn't even break into bits it just turns from a solid to a gas 
who's that pokemon
IT'S RISE!!!!!
Jigglypuff seen from above
Teddie
John Persona
nanako and rise walking to school together is so cute 😭
i'm going to cry
