Aaand I'm doing exactly the opposite of what I said some days ago... I'm creating a WIP list
Anyway, not that I fear of someone doing the same models I want to convert (hell, I think I'm the only one who's converting from these games XD), but still, just to let people know what I'm working on (if I'll ever be able to release something, though )... let's start!

PLUS

All the alternate outfits for the characters I've already released (Deuce, Cater, Cinque, Seven and Queen). I'm not sure if I've listed all of the characters I'd like to port from this game, there are so many D:


Project Diva

- Miku Bikini
- Miku Magician
- Luka VF Suit
- Meiko Scarlet Dress

There are more I'd like to convert, but fixing these is hard as hell so I'm just going to put these here XD

And that's all for now, and yes, I'm going to convert them all... by 2034

And here's how Miku Bikini is looking in XNALara (you have to tweak the light a lot, or you'll see some horrible shadowing )



And Miku Magician is currently undergoing a rigging process XD (yes, that's a hat on her head. You can't really see some parts of it due to Blender's backface culling )

Amazing, just amazing


btw I have VF luka here ( DT ) , weights are decent, hair is rigged strand by strand, face is ummm bad. Would you like me to send it to you ? :3

Is that model plagued with rig errors like the ones you sent me ages ago? (I mean, weights being there but bones completely messed up? I tried to fix Meiko by manually moving bones into place and... there weren't enough bones It's a shame, really, because those models are awesome :/)
If you don't want to work on her you can send me the model, but I can't assure anything (I'm still a noob at rigging and my patience when it comes to weight painting is near 0 XD)

Anyway, a way to fix these models' shadowing is by using a rendergroup which doesn't support shading... this way you obtain a closer look to the game, but of course the model won't react to any light :/ Do you think it's better to be faithful to the game or having shadowing errors but with a model which reacts to lights?
This is a picture with XNA's default lighting... as you can see I tweaked the lighting a lot in the other picture to hide the face's errors

nope, not really, but the face rig is bad ( I worked on it a long time ago so yeah xD )


I know, sadly I think it can't be fixed

IMO the shadeless model would be the best
btw, does making the shadow depth slider go all over to the left not fix the error ?

No, it doesn't, as it can't go further down than 0.25 The error is less noticeable, but it's still there Shadeless version it is then, you can always tweak the shadowing by using some kind of image editing tool XD

Ah I see, it's weird that it doesn't appear at 3dsmax at all xD
