The_Freeman Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 My buddy Graves and myself are making a model of Dante from Devil May Cry. He is the modeller, and I guide him in order to get it all right, from clothing, face proportions/expressions, etc... We are closely completing the project, and I have just finished making the player select icons (I have yet to decide which ones to go, cause I made several different ones.) Here is the WIP so far: Phase 1 We decided to go for the DMC 1 look, cause we like Dante better in his first suit. Phase 2 After sending more accurate reference shots we made some nice progress, though there is a lot to be fixed yet, specially in the face. As shown next, I indicated the modeller -through these roughly edited pics- to bring up the sleeves, change the coat and pants colors to the ones I added, and to make changes in the face like so: I also indicated to lower the eyebrows, to shorten the eyes, heightwise, and to get rid of the features inside the purple circle, in the edited face shot above. Phase 3 As stated, the color gradients are fixed, the coat, pants, and jacket have the correct gradients of red/purple. The sleeves are by the elbow now, face is slimmer, and the jacket straps have been fixed, among other things. You will see how Dante is shaping up, and the early Alastor model base: Dante's hair is a little longer on the nape of the neck/beggining of shoulders' section. I roughly indicated my buddy how long it should be: I also indicated several things in order to achieve a more expressive face. The eyebrows are going to be lower, the eyes shorter, heightwise, and other things. Also, Dante's eye color is a greyish-green, which is now fixed. I exemplify this with this animated image showing the different states: Finally, you see how the two faces compare: In our opinion, the "edited" face looks more mature, and more expressive, and better yet, more like Dante. Currently, this is fixed, as well as the final version of Alastor, Dante's sword. Phase 4 Now, the Dante model is perfect to our eyes, I believe nothing more will be corrected in the main model. Added the leg straps as the original model from PS2. We are concentrating on Alastor, the sword. And here the modeller added more detail to Alastor: We are currently beta testing the model, and we need someone that has the original Devil may Cry game, a PS2, and knows how to rip sounds from the game, to rip at least 3 grunt/scream/hurt Dante voices, as well as taunts and sword swinging sounds.

I wasn't being negative, so I really don't appreciate you being such a jerk. I was only informing everyone of the legality (or lack thereof) of the situation. The model looks good, but that doesn't change the fact that comissioning it was illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonces Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Two things, lets everybody cool down before a flame war starts. I don't like closing threads. Second, Freeman, your images are too big, 800x800 is the MAX resolution for any image posted in a thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaR_ShArK_aX Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Excuse me if I'm being stupid but. Is it just me or is the trench coat a tad too pink? Don't get me wrong the model is incredible but uh, yeah. P.s. Just a small request for the Red Version- Tint the Hair and Jacket Black Give the Sword Hilt a darkish red tone yes tinted red with a shader to glow Just brain storming. Good luck guys.

The Cheat Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 wow that model looks real sweet i have never played the devil may cry games but i have seen previews for them on x-play and extended play on techtv and from what i have seen it looks fairly accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSJ2 Vegetto Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 By the way two questions. 1. Will the sword be removable you know like a version of the model without the sword atached to back? Because it would be weird to be holding the sword and have it on back as well. 2. Will there be any of the Demon forms of Dante like From DMC 2 I know hes dress from DMC 1 but still curious.

The Cheat Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 if the sword is not removable, i think it would be possible to remove it with a surf file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamehart Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Well, I don't know if Freeman wants me to answer these but yes, Dante comes with a model without the sword on his back, and as far as I know they don't plan to add a Devil Trigger state.

SSJ2 Vegetto Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 ok well thanks I was just curious well I figured since it was DMC 1 clothes there would be no Devil Trigger state but I had to ask. Well good looking model none the less can't wait for release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flick_strife Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Man this is the so far coolest model in JK2 ive never seen anything cooler!! hope its done soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tFighterPilot Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 As I said in the requests forum, great model! I only heard about Devil May Cry, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, the only reason I "flamed" you, was because... forget it, I said it too many times. Again, great model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miko Reglia Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 wow, pretty nice, though ive always liked the DMC2 Dante better, this one is just as good in my eyes:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Freeman Posted August 18, 2003 Author Share Posted August 18, 2003 The model is already finished, and it looks even better, of course. I finallly made the final version of the icons (player select screen), and I just finished making the presentation screens, which I think you will find amazing. I will be posting the presentation shots whenever I see fit. I am also working on the sword mod, which will enable Dante to use Alastor in-game. We have the sword sounds, all we need to get are Dante's grunts sounds. And yes, we made 2 models, one without the sword, and one with the sword on his back. Another thing, if you want this to be released soon, help us get grunts and scream Dante sounds from DMC1. If anyone has the game, try to find a way to rip sounds, WE NEED AT LEAST 3 or 4 GRUNT/ATTACK SOUNDS, AND 3 SCREAM/HURT SOUNDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
