DKC Atlas Forum

Hi Leo, any updates on this? I'm looking forward to this game more than any game ever.

Wow this is some amazing work, all your work really looks like the game renders!!! I always wanted to see Dk island in 3d, yours is absolutely perfect.

:D No super secret project :oops: Just had no computer for a few months, and between work and other small projects I finally saved up for a new one, I had the old one since 2003, but I have been checking out the site but my phone though. No computer means no 3d work done, but I'm back and I have all...

I haven't posted much because I upgraded my computer to windows 8 so im in the process of installing everything again, will get back to Kiddy and the rest of the projects as soon as possible.

No sarcasm there, I know he is not complete, so perfect so far.

I don't see any room for improvement, its perfect

Qyzbud, it is hard to explain but I just played all 3 original games to compare them. On the original games once you jump on top of an enemy on the same ground level all the kongs do a full front flip, sometimes one and a half before landing on the ground, with the exception of Kiddy, for some reaso...

I don't know if it was mentioned before but the kongs flip 2 or 3 times after killing someone instead of just one flip, unless it was done in purpose.

This was so epic, I enjoyed it so much, it really feels just like a DKC game, the press start screen song was amazing, I could pause the game and just listen to the music just like I did 17 years ago with the original series, keep it going guys!

I wanted to do the DK house but I wasn't going to come even close to what you did

Fur will be added today, I noticed the renders look really bad when I zoom in on them, I think the jpeg is losing a lot of quality because I'm taking a screen capture of the render instead of exporting a real render so that will be fixed from now on. Edit: Kiddy is getting a haircut http://i50.tinyp...

Tonberry2000, how did you miss DK, he is the first model I did :lol: Well, I feel confident that the Kiddy model is about done so I'm trying a more serious paint job. http://i48.tinypic.com/3589gmw.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/yzda8.jpg I recently started messing with the rendering, he is bald right n...

Thanks Cyclone, I have a big surprise related to Kiddy, I can't wait to show it here. Ribbededie I'm using Sculptris and Cinema 4d, I seriously doubt there is anything more user friendly than this out there so give it a shot when you feel like sculpting. Edit: Happy Kiddy new head. http://i46.tinypi...

Ki1 is more nostalgic but gold is a better game in my opinion, the models I'm making are from gold but i just want to do like 4 characters in total so it won't take time from my 3d Dkc models. Edit: Glacius is now fully rigged, here are some renders with his new buddy. http://i46.tinypic.com/2nvxc21...

Slippa is more than perfect. Wow.

:mrgreen: Glacius is done, I'm working on Fulgore now. I'm doing their models from KI2 which a bit more detailed, there is not much to them, they are simple, I want to do Raptor too, he wasn't a favorite but looks cool anyways. I have always wondered if Raptor could be imported into a DKC fan game, ...

I started working on models from other Rare games I grew up with and I wanted to share them here. http://i47.tinypic.com/20prcx0.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/4h302g.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/11w7b5t.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/s4dy.jpg With bump texture http://i48.tinypic.com/m8kwoy.jpg Fulgore is nex...

I had to take a small break from the more complex Kiddy and work on other characters I like, here is a simple one. Still needs work but really cool to see the progress. Who knows, maybe one day I will complete all the characters from the trilogy in 3d. http://i48.tinypic.com/u4ug2.jpg http://i45.tin...

I don't know if you guys notice but I changed lots of things here, his stance, head scale, eyes, his belly shape, a few other things plus added the string on his neck. I'm a lot happier with the changes, I feel he is pretty close to the Rare renders I have been looking at, I want to work a bit more ...

Mr.X is basically done, I just need to extend his arms to animate him and add a few badges. Painting him should be quick. I haven't updated much because I have been trying a bunch of different things with the Kiddy model and I'm learning so much, once I started animating him and adding hair some thi...

Thanks again guys! All my models will be shared as soon as I'm happy with the final result, I keep finding ways to update my models and it keeps delaying the time to release them. I haven't done much except his socks, almost there. The shiny blue color is just the material, not the final color. &quo...

Awesome work so far!

I never played DK64 so that explains it... I was about to make a 3d model of him since I had never seen him, well, if a moderator wants to delete this you're welcome to... sorry.

Looks like a security guard on a ship, and the image save name reads bonusgame. Any thoughts of what's going on here?

Is it possible it could be that Nintendo that causes the glitches? I have never seen that nintendo model before.

The model is not done, I was just practicing my painting, his socks needs to be extended, his belly needs to be moved a little, his head too, his clothing around his arms need to be adjusted and his fingers too, i want to detail his face a little more and is missing a piece around his neck. I need t...

I'm really trying to get better at painting because I was having a hard time at it but I found a really easy way to paint using the real colors that Rare used. http://i45.tinypic.com/2pzekv4.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/3090ykx.jpg This is a 30 minute paint job, the method I found is so easy to use th...

Kiddy was hairy, at least in the renders, I know I can get away with just painting the model but hair will make it more like the renders if I can get it right. I will try the Hunter model I have and see how he does... Anyways I haven't done much except watch a bunch of tutorials, hopefully I make so...

I'm using Cinema4d, and now I'm messing with the hair, its simple so I just tried some random parts, I even put hair on his back by mistake but I'm getting there.

Thanks Thorberry.

Qyzbud I have an old HP with 3gb of ram, it handles everything so far with no issues.

Here is a quick render of Kiddy walking, it looks like crap now but I expect to get better at this with more practice



He looks like a ballerina

Those are from Mario Rpg right? Awesome work I learn visually so I have to watch a lot of youtube tutorial videos, its the only way I can learn so I don't really want to bug anyone, thanks for the help but I have to go at my own pace.

Well, I meant by the time the model is done I would had probably learned so much more about this program that I'm going to want to create a brand new bone structure, better and more detailed. The computer is working perfectly, not even a hiccup, I think this model has around 200k polygons.

You guys are right, I figured these could make some awesome wallpapers too. Here is where he is sitting so far. I know I will have to redo everything once the model is painted and fur is added, unless I figure how to detach the bones. http://i50.tinypic.com/2w20tir.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/2zqwoat...

After messing with the program for a few hours I finally got him to move and walk but it didn't work how I wanted to due to his arms touching his body and fingers touching other fingers, I finally learned why models are made with the arms extended so I had to go back to the model and extend his arms...

Thanks Qyzbud. I have to agree with you about the eyes but I wouldn't worry too much about the coloring, most of the details like shiny eyes will get lost during the sprite making process due to the massive quality loss of the model. The colors can also be easily modified even after the sprite sheet...

I'm getting familiar with Zbrush rig system, looks to be the easiest so far and Kiddy will be the first model I want to fully animate so I'm putting more effort to finish him. His buttons done http://i49.tinypic.com/nb49l.jpg more progress http://i46.tinypic.com/9ghrix.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/9lh...

Sure Leo :thumbs: I decided to create a body for Kiddy since there is not 3d model for Kiddy anywhere. http://i50.tinypic.com/152duhc.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/2v7xze1.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/1426m2s.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/3522nad.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/wa2ia0.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/...

Mr.X progress.

I tried adding a tail but I didn't like it and scrapped it, if anyone finds a render with a tail it will help, if not I will try to add one again.

So Hogwash, do you think it looks good enough to do justice to what Rare would had done if they had released this little guy on the DKC series? If you can give me some feedback I can fix it if not then I will put the DKC ATLAS seal of approval and move to the next without having to worry about him a...

I would say all of my models are about 95% done.

Painting hogwash, not done but getting there. Need to take care of some weird glitchy paint spots when i try to fill up the whole model. http://i46.tinypic.com/2v0khl3.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/2nbaj5w.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/2hwmdja.jpg Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=katP8sjmQ-I&featu...

Leo the demo can wait, just take your time and get everything back on track with your life, we understand.

Mr.X does't look transparent in any of the shots that exist... Maybe he wasn't meant to be tranparent..Just throwing that out there.

It was great Phyre! I'll try to put the mask (helmet) on Rambi, thanks! Leo you got too much on your hands, I will take care of the mask Rambi. Oh! Thanks Cosmicman, So I'll leave it at your own ok? (Hey, I sent something to you by MP) Here is a preview of his new mask, what do you think, I can cha...

Leo you got too much on your hands, I will take care of the mask Rambi.

Evil Rambi looks great, is it too hard to put some kind of armor on his head, nose or legs to differenciate him from the real Rambi a bit more? Maybe something easier like red eyes or something like that? Or maybe his nose spike pointing forward to inflict more damage? That way it would show he mean...

I have to try Blender too, I have seen a few videos and it doesn't look bad. Lately I have been practicing my coloring and textures. http://images.wikia.com/donkeykong/images/b/be/Pucka.png http://i46.tinypic.com/f4mb8i.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/hwwnqb.jpg

I tried 3dsmax a while ago and it was too difficult for me, I'm going to try some tutorials and see if I don't give up this time.

VideoViking I have been researching numerous 3d programs and found one that can automatically put an skeleton inside a human model and have the model do any movement which might help in your case but for these animal models is different, even Mr.X is half of something so I can't use that program wit...
