Zero the Hero (MMZ)
2004-09-12, 6:40 PM #1
A skin that I did a long time ago for Jedi Academy that I haven't released yet. I've been meaning to showcase it first before releasing it but I haven't gotten around to it until now.

Yeah I noticed the new Mega Man models looked eerily liked more mechanical guyvers. Still badical.

Very nice man, as you may or may not know, I love MMZ, and saw this a while back. Been wanting it ever since.

I love it! It's very accurate. *Zero and Megaman fan*

I'd suggest increasing the contrast on the colors. Right now, it looks oddly faded.

Kirb dear, that's how Zero's clothing is coloured. :p

Maybe if you're following crazy new, and crappy videogames, it is.


This is Zero:

The model is of "Zero" Zero, not "Classic" Zero, therefore the colours are absolutely correct. And the Zero series is good and plays precisely like the X series does with some added features relating to Zero's armour. Anything else you say beyond this point is sheer bullcrap and you know it. ;D
2004-09-13, 7:47 PM #11
The coolness factor remains, my dear Greenjeans. "Zero" Zero, how you put it, is far stupider looking than The REAL Zero.

Nice job SavageX, but try to do a REAL character next time, not a crappy Zero-wannabe.

It's GreenJeanz with a Z, boy! I'd think after all the time of knowing me, you'd remember it. :p
And I think Classic Zero looks by far much more like a buffoon than "Zero" Zero. His leg armour is huge and he always looks pissed off or constipated.

I'd post a resonse to the above war between JediKirby and TheGJ, but that'd mean posting a crapload of spoilers. If you want 'em, i'll dish.

As for the model, I've gotta say its your best work yet SavageX. Its surprisingly accurate considering the fact that its a skinny-yet-high-poly model on JA. Good work! Perhaps your next model will be of copy-X.... (or maybe even Zero as he was in 21XX ;))

Cool, glad you guys like the model so far. The reason I'm doing the Zero series and not the X series because I'm more of a fan of the Zero series (a lot more fun to play, IMO) so I'm doing models based on those characters. I also don't like how the characters from the X series have such large arms and legs. The Zero series feature characters that are more human like in appearance than the X series. As for the models, I'm attempting to do more than just Zero. I'm also currently working on the four guardians of X, Harpuia is the first one being done. I will also attempt to do Dr. Ceil and Copy-X as well. I'll be sure to post more shots as they come. BTW, I haven't abandon my other skins projects. I still have plans to do more for the InuYasha pack as well as some Gundams from various Gundam series.

PLEASE tell me why Zero decides to look like an idiot in this series, I'm dying to know.

Dang, I don't think he looks that bad. The reason why Zero looks that way (and why every other robot looks similar in the series) is because it takes place 100 years after the Maverick Wars. After X and Zero rid the world of the Mavericks, Zero decides that in order to purify his body of the Sigma Virus, he goes into hibernation for 100 years. He is then awaken by Dr. Ceil, a human scientist who is leading a rebellion of Reploids against a force called Neo Arcadia. Neo Arcadia is trying to rid of world of reploids accused of being Mavericks (even though they aren't) in an attempt to protect humanity. Zero's body has changed during his sleep and his memories of the past has not returned in full. Zero fights for the rebel reploids to protect them from Neo Arcadia. That's the gist of the Zero series without any spoilers involved.

Huh, I guess 100 years of sleep really makes you look stupid? And since when did inorganic beings 'evolve' while 'sleeping?' The story has obviously gone down hill ever since the robot dog... damn those japanese animators and their sake.

Sorry SavageX, but the question's been gnawwing at me all evening: why isn't the model cell-shaded? and will it be cell-shaded by completion? and why is the nose so round?

Ok. i've said my piece [climbs down off of soap-box)

I've said this a lot about anime based skins. Heads are either too big, or the eyes are. I dunno, I just don't like it. Model rocks, textures could use work. Just my half cent.

EDIT: Your gundam's were by far your best modeling / skinnng work. I've never seen anything better than those skins (Anime / Robot wise. Only wiry tin can robots. Your gundams are bad ***)

Considering that I'm doing Anime-based models, making the textures look photo-realistic is pointless because you really can't go beyond what is shown in a cartoon. Trying to make Homer Simpson look photo-realistic is just as pointless. Because of that, my textures for the model gets the job done for the most part.

As for making them cell-shaded, I'm against the idea and I'm not interesting in trying to implement it. The reason for this is because it would make the model look out of place in a game of Jedi Academy. Plus, I never liked the look of cell-shaded game models. Just looks very ugly to me.

As for news on my progress, I just completed Harpuia's model. He is one of the guardians who is the green one that has the ability to fly. I think I proceed to do Leviathan's model next. I'll post some shots of him when I get around to it.

Methinks it they would all look good with cel-shading, and then if you used a cel shading JA mod... *pointless rambling*

And that's how baby goat cheese is made. Any questions?

I still think the MMX Zero looks better than the MMZ Zero, but good job nonetheless...

As for cel-shading, Windwaker actually made it look good, though most other attempts were crap (in my opinion, anyway). For a model to be cel-shaded, it wouldn't look good at all unless the entire game was modded to be cel-shaded.

Oh, and perhaps could you add a lightsabre that looks more like Zero's beam sabre than a jedi's weapon? The JO sabre you've selected does somewhat clash with the Zero model.

Huge legs and arms looked cooler. The new zero just looks like a dude wearing a bad halloween costume.
The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.
2004-09-15, 10:58 AM #29
I love the new view of zero, it's so awesome. And Kirby, he didn't evolve, he changed. Meaning scientists worked on him, worked on making him better. But I suppose it's easy to criticize a game you've never played :rolleyes:

*drools* :eek:

I love this series; the X series is better IMO, but I'd never turn down much of anything MM (except EXE).

One crit: the red spikes coming from below the jewel to the back of his head don't just disappear underneat the jewel; they maintain the same width.

Still, I love this skin. Is it up for download anywhere?:) :D

@Forsakahn: I'd like to see said spoilers.... :D

FR is pretty much dead, at least on JK's engine that is. I have plans to revive it eventually in the future on another engine. I'm thinking that the half-life engine might a good engine to port the game to. I don't know how to program anything in HL yet so it'll must likely be a single player level pack rather than a mod. I have no more details to share than that so don't bother asking until I actually get somewhere with that idea.

As for the Zero models, I have done anything yet since I last posted.

Edit: Cool, I just noticed I made SotD :D

...and made SotD without Anti-Aliasing of any apparent form, nonetheless. Anyway, I still say it's great work, and I've been wanting MMZ for quite some time (though I'm not getting a GBA)

It's so wierd to see a cartoony type character in JA. The model looks great nevertheless, now you just need some cellshading . . . :p
