Happy Synthesizer, plus neeew stuff

Haha, I had to use Mole's Seiji with Kei. It's been an aspiration of mine for a long time. Aspiration points, +500 get.



Kei's in a good spot right now. His model's done, and his voice is sounding nice. Mole made me a beautiful cover for him by the way, he sounds so good... sob.

I think that's enough Kei for now though. All this time I've been neglecting Jakuon something fierce (and don't tell Kei, but I think she's the better of the two). It's really kind of sad, she sounds pretty good without any real effort of mine. It only took about 9 months to get Kei sounded decent.

Anyways. Jakuon made her debut... May 2010. And the most I've updated her is put a new head on her MMD model. :'D Serious, she is still running around with her 3DCG body. So I'm going to start giving her some attention. I re-recorded her voicebank as well, and I'm going to get to work otoing soon. I've also gotten to work on a new model for her, working on scratch in Metasequoia! No screencaps yet... they're downstairs. OTL

So yeah! Jaku, I'm so sorry, I hope all this is enough to make it up to you :'D

Kei model release, plus stage!

Ok! I know I've been spamming a lot about Kei. But this one's important. Why? I'm releasing his model. -3- Yup, fixed him all up and he's ready to go and see the world for the first time. How exciting.

But I decided to throw in an added bonus, and the download comes with a stage too. It's the first stage I've made, but I'm sure it'll be useful to someone out there. xD All kinds of fun things are included, like the UVs so you can change the design on the top, and the mqo so you can modify it in Metasequoia.

You can download Kei and the stage here, they come together: http://www.mediafire.com/?v9ioz3ro7irtxt1

The password is "kumone"

And you can see the stage here! (yeah that might be kind of important so you can actually know what it looks like...)



Not related to the downloads, but the video, I also have the camera motion seen up for download. It comes both with and without the lighting.

No password there!

Well there ya go, more stuff to put on your computer. I wanted to finish these up before break ended. I hope you enjoy them!

ZOU

No real updates today... sorry I've been spamming Kei a lot already but I made a new cover with him. .3. This time it's the song "ZOU," which I had to try after hearing it. It's just... soo... cool! The instrumental part really got to me. Hnng. So here is Kei's rendition of it.



His voicebank is still far from perfect... Kei is so stubborn and yet I give him so much attention... he just doesn't love me.

The picture there was made in MMD. Playing with objectluminous some more. Having way to much fun, as usual. xD Here's a bigger version of it:

Kei Model, nearly finished >>

Well I pretty much spent all of yesterday finishing up the Kei model. xD He's rigged and has physics and expressions now! The only thing that's keeping him from being totally finished is some fixing up I want to do on the rigging and a few of his expressions. Other than that though, he's looking pretty nice.

I'm actually pretty happy with how his facials turned out, which never happens because they usually look so awful when I make them. ;-; I guess this just means I'm getting better, yaaay!

Anyways, when I'm done fixing him, I might release him, just because I'm so happy with him. Though maybe I should wait until his voicebank is done, right?

Kei Model, progress

I've just been working away at Kei for a few days. The hair hung me up but I tried a new technique for making it, and I think it actually came out rather well! I used this tutorial: http://metasequoiausers.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d48rxif

So in a whirlwind of activity, I actually finished modeling, unwrapping, and texturing last night. It's crazy what I do when I get lost in working on something. Anyways I thought it might be neat to make a side-by-side comparison to the first model I made of him in Metasequoia.

Hopefully you can tell which is the new one (the one on the left!)

The pictures are from MMD but he's not rigged yet ;P Still working on that.
