Character Model Sheets Request

[Expresso]

Hello, I've been trying to get ahold of the character model sheets with no success. Sadly many dead links on the interwebs when SPC material is concerned (I myself a healthy contributor to that cause I'm sure). I'll be using them for refining my 3d model practice. Actually I'm just looking for Speedy front/side shots for now.

Anyway don't mean to just pop in like this and ask for stuff, but, well, I figured the resource like this is where to get things. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the screenshot offers. I wanted the model sheets because I knew they were superior quality in terms of proportions and character likeness, whereas the animation cells themselves can vary greatly, or just rather low quality from TV resolution.

Thanks for the link Vi, I found the same thing when I googled, but it doesn't work. Is it just me? Are the angelfire servers on the fritz?

Well I found the file of Speedy from the model sheets on a spanish site. But there was no straight frontal shot, which is useful for 3d modeling. I'm looking for a screenshot from the first review episode where they are giving the stats on each pizza cat now, I remember it showing good front and side shots of Speedy in that episode. I think at least.

Double post, sorry. Well I found the file of Speedy from the model sheets on a spanish site. But there was no straight frontal shot, which is useful for 3d modeling.

That's why God (D-Mac) invented the Edit button!

I'd be very interested in seeing what you come up with should you decide to share it, Expresso. I've been trying to do some 3D SPC models of my own, but I haven't really made any progress yet.

[Expresso]

Thank you for the screenshots. They will come in handy more for Guido or Polly if I even finish Speedy here and want to do more.
Of the several 3d pizza cats I've seen around on the net they've always seemed a bit demented to me, out of proportion or uncharacteristic of the show's style at least. So here's my attempt thus far. This model is rather low-poly and intended for being imported into any sort of 3d game engine. The full model should top out around 2000 triangles, more if I give him a working face (spherical eyes and articulated mouth)

[felineki]

That's looking great so far! You might say it's low-poly, but it's actually higher than the stuff I had in mind.

[Expresso]

Right. It's low poly in the sense it's not intended for rendered videos, but as a real time player model, although a few years ago the very same model would not be considered low poly and put quite a strain on most average computers. Nowadays it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

That's one of my pages and it seems to be working fine.  Not sure why it won't work for you.

[Expresso]

Well after work on the head, it quickly became apparent the most interesting phase had already passed by. Although SPC lends itself well to 3D, I've found after working on this a lot of respect for the other 3D artists doing this. I'm stuck at the moment on the shoulder joint, since if I take too literally from the reference pics it doesn't work in real space. So I'll fiddle with that for a bit more and hopefully finish Speedy up, then on to texture and rigging.

Yeah, I can't load the angelfire page for some reason. I wonder if they hate Koreans...
How big is the model zip file? Can someone put it up on another site for me please? Thanks again, keep you posted

Well here's another update. I've finished most of Speedy. Just have his hands and a few details left.
I tried to find out why I can't view angelfire pages. I don't have a proxy or anything set in my securities. Weird.

I want all of you to look at Speedy here.

When Polly tells you to clean the bathroom, you do it! Else, she rams the plunger up your butt.

Let this be an example for all of you who defy Polly.

One more with hands. Speedy's plunger colonoscopy will have to come to an end soon after this.

[felineki]

Looks great. You've made a lot of progress very quickly!

I'm enjoying it while it lasts.

I wanted to do a quick and dirty color layout. Still haven't finished building the model yet, couple small details missing on Speedy's armor. Also I will have to work on the neck area of Speedy a bit as it looks more awkward now than I realized before. Probably adjust the angle of his ears also. If you see anything else that doesn't look very Speedy-ish, please let me know. I've been staring at it too long so I need some fresh eyes.

[felineki]

I think the color for his nose/mouth area could be more yellowish. Otherwise, looking wonderful.

Amazing!! Simply amazing!! It began in Febraury 3 for a sheets request, and 20 days later...BOOOM!! an 3D Speedy!! That's a GREAT work!!

[Expresso]

Thanks for your ideas on what needed work, guys. I think Speedy's looking pretty good now. Here's a special animated gif of a very non-animated Speedy.
