DKC Atlas Forum

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...

Messing around with DK.

Your models are impressive, it's as if you took the models from the Rareware database itself! I'm a little scared that your Mr. X model is going to put my sprite out of business! Not trying to put any sprites out of business, I just hope we all manage to take these models and squeeze as much out of...

Don't give up man, I'm looking forward to this game more than any official game from any company out there.

Are you going to include 2 bonuses and the Dk coin in every level like the previous games? Or do you have different ideas?

Another DKL character that I think did make it to the game, I'm not sure. Not completed as usual but I wanted to share the progress.

VideoViking wrote:Which character is this from Donkey Kong Land?

I think he is called Fangfish or Pocka Jr.

More DKL characters, I'm not sure if this one made it to the game but we need it in DKC4 or the builder.

Not done but an early model.

Incredible stuff, I think I'm just going to stop in the middle of the stage and admire the view.

Every screen shot makes me speechless, so awesome.

RaccoonSam I didn't even know something like that was possible, I will definitely do that! Thanks for the support! More work on Hogwash. http://i46.tinypic.com/30d9opy.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/15of7zk.jpg He looks simple but there's a lot of work left to do to get him as close as the original game...

Phyreburnz I'm making these models for the community to use, right now I feel most of my models are complete but not 100%, as soon as they are done I will release them, should be really, really soon. I will have a full Kiddy model too, right now hes at about 60%. Tonberry2000 Thanks! Simion and Leo ...

From what I recall, Cosmicman was doing some animations for Mr. X and another character. I don't know if he's going to make any enemies from Donkey Kong Land. Funny how I was working on one DKL character. You can see it at my 3d thread, its not done yet though. Leo amazing work on that map, I can f...

I have been busy with a few other projects but I found time to work on a DKL character that never made it to the trilogy.



Should be done soon. Right now it looks like a loaded toaster

I was watching some old videos and I couldn't help but feel I should be able to land on top of this big tree that looks similar to the original DKC first stage tree, maybe some of the supporters here feel the same way I do? This tree was on the first teaming up stage video. Here is an image you post...

World map track is perfect.

Wow! Awesome stuff, I'm really glad I could help with something so amazing.

I think you should concentrate on the level builder for now, then work on a 3d builder when you're completely done with this current project.

I also noticed Ram was missing its tail, I don't think it can be seen in any beta pictures, so I added one, what do you think?

So DK can run and walk safely now. Awesome news Simion!
