I need advice on Custom charactar Modding

[HotDogBandit]

Me and my college roommates has decided to add in or replace in-game characters with our own (we're still in early stages, just now developing concept art for our character models). Now, none of us has any experience with game coding or modding (were modding Super Smash Brothers Brawl on our Wii). So if there is anyway you could point me in the right direction of tutorials or anything that could give me an idea of what the process will be, how to go about it, advance coding or anything that you feel relevant will be greatly appreciated. I posted this early on knowing it may take a long time till we get to that stage and it will take a long time for someone to post on my thread (I'm a noob here).

I found a tutorial that shows you how to turn 2D artwork into 3D. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlX-wVx-NNU

So do you have any experience with modding?

No, but I will be using that tutorial when I start making my own models.

Man, the guy doing the tutorial makes it look easy! hope it is actually that easy! so far we have six characters planned, so if the modeling phase is as easy as it seems, it should give the coding and animating the movements a whole lot more time!

If you're planning on modding Brawl, I highly suggest (if you haven't done so already) that you visit this site:

Additionally, have a look at this guy's tutorials on modding Brawl:

Granted, they may be out of date now, but I don't know. I haven't done any Brawl modding since my old computer died last year, and I couldn't get any of the modding tools to load onto the new one.

Oh yeah, Ive already knew about kcmm, they gave me some resources for making this happen. However, I didnt know about WackaAlpaca. Have you done something like this before?

I have, but not for about two years.

I replaced the character models and portraits. But I haven't done much else since then.
I need 3DS Max to do model swapping, and I can't get it to install on my new computer.
