Tales of Resource

[valforwing]

well i did'nt own a gamecube until 2009. and I got a wii for christmas last year and my mom wanted me to grab some games for it and I could only find tales of vesperia dawn of the new world at gamestop....it was the only wii game that looked like it had a nice compelling storyline. i did'nt see a 2 on it so i did'nt assume it was a sequal....but i am interested in tales of the abyss...mainly cuz i used to listen to the anime's theme song while I was in class. and the visuals looks interesting.

Update!!
Here's what I've got today.

Abyssion
Colette Wings
Lloyd Arrgh Me Hearties
Lloyd Beach Boy
Lloyd Nobleman
Lloyds Swords

I didn't know how to render Colettes wings, so there's no images.

[valforwing]

well her tales of symphonia 2 wings are rendered so one could always stick it on her chibi form to give it more chibisim

@valforwing - you should should give Tales of the Abyss a try. it has a much more mature tone than Symphonia had (although i liked Symphonia more, it was my first Tales). the Unknown difficulty is pretty challenging. i liked the story and battles. its closer to how Vesperia is with a world map and stuff since in Symphonia 2 they used a map select screen instead.

wh00t! niice, i wanna look at all of these when theyre up.

about the wings and rendering, it doesnt render properly cuz its a transparent texture? a friend here taught me how to render transparent objects, i can take a screen if ya want. or i could paste the guide he made out

[Roxas358]

I know how to render transparency. It's just the wings don't look right with any of the settings.

If you can render the wings correctly and post a transparent png link here, that would be good. Then I could make the icon.

[ramonM64]

oh.

i'll give it a shot when theyre up. do the wing's textures have a ALPHA layer and everything? when a friend of mine ripped from symphonia, some of the transparent textures (usualy effects) didnt rip out with the ALPHA layer. i edited and added that in for things like the Flamberge's aura.

If you wait until there uploaded, then you will be waiting forever, because the wings won't be uploaded until they have icons. As for the textures, I'm not 100% sure.

Also you don't have to do it.

[ramonM64]

ooh

i want to do it though. i owe it to colette and the others for being too fun to play with. if yer ohkay with it, link me here or in a PM with it

i was not expecting that.. i think some of the wing's textures didnt get ripped, the actual shape of the wings. the "wings_color.png" might be just for the shades of colors of the wings when changing with texture animation (same with the sparkle effects), not the actual wing shape. games usualy stack textures to create effects like this in-game. (learned this from Brawl hacking and lookin at other symphonia textures)

lookin at symphonia 2, i think they took a simpler approach in making her wings. you can see the wings have less layers and effects

ALPHA layers are no issue here since i can see it does have it.. i would try to get a friend to help with ripping these effects but even he didnt know how, he tryed to get some "other" character's wings and the demon fang effect.

theres not much else i can do.. i can render it with the transparency effects but the wings wont have their shape. sorry dude

[senjen]

hmm this could be a problem i would suggest getting help from RTB. Just a suggestion is all

Don't worry, I can help you with the icon.

Also, might I request throwing in human Abyssion too? I figure it would be good to grab him now while he's brought up, instead of waiting and forgetting about it.


Edit: Actually, there may be a problem. Judging by the arrangement of the UV maps, and the arrangement of the textures, I believe the wings may use multiple UV maps. Does the ripping method you use let you view multiple UV sets for meshes? Because if so, you'll have to redo it and pick the UV map that matches up perfectly with the wings (changing the material to the wing alpha texture will help.) Otherwise, there's nothing that can be done besides making custom UV maps.

Already did that.

[Peardian]

...Oh, wow, you're right. I even stared at the icon for a while and it didn't even click that his human form was included. Silly me.

[valforwing]

there is a fox summon spirit in this game that is important yes? does he have a 3d model? i can't find any pictures of him.
