The VG Resource

there us shadeing. look at the shadows under the models.

alot of the stages i use to make my photos cast their own shadow and it looks REALLY bad. it only happens when i use any stage that is a PMD type from 3DCG
some of my models actually have shadows that don't match their models...like i have a captain america model i'm makeing and at one point while i was testing it it had a perfect circle as a shadow...and then without changeing the model at all i reloaded it and it had a normal shadow.
models made in PMD like the default miku (models with no textures) change drastically when the lights are messed with in MMD. ther skin might turn black but the hair and clotheing will remain normal. and some ripped models can't work well in bright lights so i have to lower them and make sure no PMD made model is in the shot.

this comic is a mix of PMD,Blender and ripped models. the doctor who model on the bottom is PMD made, the Ditsy model was converted in blender by me and rigged. the doctor whoof model was originaly converted by another person (the body) but the hair and tail were converted by me. and the one in the middle is a mix of ripped (sora's upper half and roxas's lower pajama model) and doctor whoof's head, hooves, and tail. so naturally it's going to look odd.

i have version 7 of MMD but i'm still working on learning how to use it properly. i've only recently learned how to make things in PMD.

see currently i've been working on makeing models of the Avengers for a few years now. the model of Ironman being the oldest and most outdated.
I did'nt make thor but I'm currently trying to fix some of his rigging so he won't break my computer when he moves.
the brown haired guy is Tony as he looks in the anime and he's been slowly been updated as i improve on MMD (still no beard though)
the captain america model is my latest one. and he only lacks hair.

Wow, that model of Ironman sucks

Hey, where's your constructive criticism? Why do you think it sucks? What could be done to improve the model?

It was a joke actually

i make renders and (eventually) fan movies
note: these are ripped models, but they are not featured on models resource because i dont know if starcraft 2/tron legacy models can be ripped yet, and i dunno if these are the official models from the game. they certainly look the part though

the face is a custom model though.

?????
why are you guys fighting? I know it sucks.
i made him and like eight other models new years eve 2010 while i was at work a the movie theater. there was'nt anyone there so my bosses let me play on my laptop.

it's been over a year since then but now i know how to actually edit models in the PMD editor rather then just draw the textures onto themselves.

but I still like the ironman cuz i've had him for so long...that and i can't get anyone to rig my other ironman armor models (i can't rig bipeds)
I did however manage to make some models of the Power Rangers from him that I think came out well (excluding kimberly) despite their flaws I'm still proud of how they came out.
I even eventually made the Green Ranger and White Ranger...and then I got board and made an Orange(bulk) and Purple Ranger(skull). my new computer is lacking in the video rendering department so i have'nt made any new videos with their new updates.

in any news I finished Captain America's masked and unmasked models

I hope to finish all the Avengers by May 4th, or at least update the ones that have been finished so they can be used better. I just got started on Loki (everything but the head is finished) and Pepper Potts(trying to find the right color sceme for her outfit).
I also fiddled around with some skyrim items and found the best Dovahkin ever.

[uselesscomment] DAT DRAGON IS A SPY! [/uselesscomment] Love the dragon model though, but where is his eye?

that is his eye. paarthurnax,alduin and ohdaving don't really have eyes. alduin has white/red eyes. paarthurnax is black/grey blind and ohdaving is just black.
they have shiny eyes other then that.
the other dragons have their own eye textures just not the main speaking ones.

as far as models go I've gotten this much finished on T.O.M. (the helmet still needs work)


I finished Captain America and Steve Rodgers last night when I stuck the wings on cap's mask, i had thought about leaveing them off but it's suposed to be classic captain america so i added them from a cardcaptor outfit
now that captain america is finished i'm going to get started on Loki
this is just a WiP as i only now got the head on the body i tried to find a base head with nice angular eyes so i chose Project Diva Kaito, the armor is from a hentai game called 3DCustomGirl and more people actually play it now for extracting 3D items from MMD then the people who use it for it's originaly intended purpose. now i need to find some hair for the model that resembled Tom Hiddleson's in the film and a Loki style horn set.

It looks quite funny without hair though

The main reason I use the models on this site is to make animations for the Blitz Sonic engine. I'm also planning to make a fan game using UDK.

I just do it so that i can see the comics people make with them
cross over comics are the best
something like this

OR THIS

That first one doesnt look very good. The background doesnt blend in very well and it's apperently very low res. The streetwalk is squashed too. And I can see you used a brush in the top-left corner which isn't done to well either. The second one is very great though, very realistic. I only thing it missis some reflections and more sun-like lighting.

Does any one other than me use Blitz sonic?

well the first one i edited in gimp, I was'nt trying to realistic. in fact i was trying to make it more hazy.. the reason it's squashed is because i used a radial motion blur on it. i used usharp on it to make it all standouty and stuff. it makes the chrome on the vehicle stand out more. I could always add a lens flair to the captain america one. but it's a preview pic for the model, so i did'nt want to distract too much from how it looks in MMD. the one on top is'nt a preview pic but just some artwork I labeled Autobot and Maximal. the raptor model on optimus has textures from screen shots taken from Beast Wars so it's suposed to look like the retro graphics of Dinobot when the show aired.

here's a picture (no gimp used)

and another (picture modified in gimp)

and one more...(no gimp used. lighting had to be darkened due to how the cars looked like in light.)

Me, but I'm rather experimenting with it from time to time. I even made a video of a stage I ripped from SADX that I was working on.
