Wow, much better than the other sources I currently have, thanks Felineki! The next character (after female) will either be Guido or Bad Bird, I guess it's a toss up. If I wanted to make the map I could use a green colored Ninja Crow as a BB stand-in, or a blue colored Speedy for a Guido stand-in, so I dunno what I'll choose yet =D

Looking at that second to last image gave me an idea. Are there other common costume the Ninja Crows wear (that carry over episode to episode?) like the traveler garbs or something similar? Just thinking for the game to break up the monotony of copy paste models.

Cause that would just be tainting them and all out degrading, not to mention the horrible gory fates that would befall our favorite felines...so no thanks. Well, there goes my idea of a Pizza cat source engine game

I think everything other than the standard Ninja Crow get-up is on a single episode basis.

Right now it's at 912 tris, 541 polygons. I know I could cut it down a lot with some optimization, but I'm not really shooting for a sub-500 model since it's not intended as a true "low-poly" model. I actually should decide to do that or just go higher poly for the heck of it, since I'm limiting myself but without any real good reason. I guess I'm just trying to stick with the same style that I started with Speedy. Having more rounded edges would be nice if I were ever to put these into a more modern engine, but of course this has already been brought up earlier in the thread.

The color and texture's looking great. Nice to see the wireframe, too.

Sure, it's just a matter of setting up the cameras at each side and rendering out the frames. Donkey Kong Country and Diablo are popular examples of doing this. It's not too hard to do except for cleaning up the edges so you don't have "jaggies". With technology improving though you can make sprite sheets now with full alpha channels for really smooth edges (I've been toying with the concept myself)
Would you want something I could whip up quickly for testing purposes?

what software you using to do this mate?
I am liking what you are doing alot
I am doing little tokyo in 3D, as a side project while i'm out of the country, if you could let me know your scale/units i can rescale them to match your characters.
Also it is quite easy to input them to source. if you use 3dsmax, you can just import the whole of little tokyo! and your characters in.
Let me know, i've not bothered with the characters yet, as i'm more a scene modeller than a character one.
Neko.

I'm just using 3ds max 5, got it a long long time ago. I'm curious about using Blender since the 2.5 alpha was released. I've just been working to Warcraft 3 scale, which is about 100 units tall for an average character. Of course, in WC3 the buildings aren't all that much taller than the characters =P Do you have any screen shots or renders of your little tokyo? I was planning on modeling the palace at least at some point. Click speedy then use keyboard arrow keys to look at the different views. http://www.shardonline.com/speedyrun.swfPS how do I get the flash tag to work? =(

Haven't done a whole lot recently but I did manage to finish Ninja Crow enough to be able to import him into the WC3 editor and take a silly picture

They're probably bullying Speedy or something.

mmm i wish you were using something a bit more modern -_-
I'm on Max 2009 - Retail Version. If you like i can do some renders of Little Tokyo for you if people prefer... i've got quite a bit of it done now i guess, though as there isn't really a map.. it's quite hard to plan!
Any ideas?
