- 24 Jul 2016 19:43 #179191 Hey,

so I have been thinking about contributing to the mod for a while now so this is my first attempt at a pokemon. I've only really finished the main body, but I would like feedback already to know if I'm heading in the right direction or if I should let other more experienced pixelmon modelers do their thing ^^

I'm not quite sure where to position the leaves or how to rotate them since most 3d images from the game I could find were quite small. I also tried to keep the poly count low since the pokemon itself is relatively small, though I'm not sure if it ended up being too low on the main body and large leaf.

Any feedback is obviously appreciated, don't be afraid to criticize all you want.

Edit:
Added Texture
Updated with suggestions and merged leaves now merging at similar sizes

- 27 Jul 2016 19:31 #179777 Definitely got the figure down.

However, the feet need some rounding, and the attached berry needs to be bigger.

7/10 on the model, good for a first pokemon contribution, however.

EDIT: The joint on the leaves is wrong. Refer to the picture attached.

Not the Pokemon we need, but the one we deserve.

- 28 Jul 2016 07:42 #179845 Updated with your suggestions. I may still need to properly connect the meshes of the two leaves. Not sure. Thanks for your feedback ^^

- 28 Jul 2016 07:49 #179846 Vast improvement, 9/10. The leaves look separated though. They should be, like, fused together at where they touch.

- 28 Jul 2016 08:46 #179858 Cleaned up the leaves a bit and merged them. Hope that I managed to remove all the unnecessary verts inside the two leaves. Again, thanks for your feedback. Once I am finally happy with the model I will try to texture, though with a texture as simple as here I doubt it will be much of a problem

- 28 Jul 2016 08:50 #179859 Ah, okay, you got the merging down. However, if you notice in the attachment alongside my post above, the edges of the leaves are aligned, as if they were attached to a plane. Right now, the edge of the leaf stemming out of the main body, is in the middle of the leaf stemming out of the smaller body.

It is a bit hard to explain, did I explain it correctly?

EDIT: That seems to be the only problem at all. Everything else is dead on.

- 28 Jul 2016 08:56 #179860 I honestly thought that was a matter of perspective as you can see the leaf of the smaller cherry continuing behind the other one where they merge. I will try to find an official 3d model to confirm

- 28 Jul 2016 09:03 #179861 Yeah its just the art style, it would seem. Here is an image that may help.

Images used in the image below are nintendo designs.

Something with the leaves makes it look funky.

That model is perfect. :)
