If he ripped from the Wii U, holy shit.

Reguardless I have my own Soundwave, Megatron, and a few others sitting on my computer waiting to get rigged. So don't fret, you guys will at least see them in some form.

Edit: No, it's not. It's the Wii version. Went though his gallery, I do see a lot of stolen shit he's either not crediting, or claiming his. Most of his sketchups are pretty much carbon copies of Transformer Avatars from Second Life. I should know. I've seen them, I even noticed a few I did in Second Life in there.

It's not even that hard to do honestly. In SL, you work with these things called Prims. They come in many shapes, and can be streched, cut, twisted, whatever to make what you need. I've made countless things this way, for example: http://lordvipes.deviantart.com/gallery/40590445

All one needs is an exporter browser to turn these "prim" builds into real 3D models, and they're not hard to come by. Export as .obj, and boom. I've done it to my own builds.

Once taken out of the game, you can do whatever you like with them. What seems to have happened there, is since the models themselves are simple, he traced over them and added/removed detail. A lot of this guys "work" exactly looks like Rogo Gorky's old Transformers before he went into mesh. I should know, I have all of his old work.

I could go on and on about this, but I shouldn't.

Speaking of, someone should port from that game. The voice acting was horrible, but the models were pretty good.

Glad your able to join us, as I'm just starting to get my 3D software and my Transformers files back due to my laptop being wiped and repaired. If you don't mind me asking, if your not porting from the Bayformers or the WfC/FoC games, what are porting from then?

It's a secret to everybody. People will just have to wait. And who said they were ports?

I will say this. This series recieved only one 3D game. It was fully cast (horribly) in English, but never was released in any English speaking country.

I'm working on a port of my very favorite character (....at least from TFP!), Knock Out. It's taken a while to clean up the model in Blender, but I've currently gotten the model and textures pulled, and I'm working on cleaning up the texture in CS6 (the original was 256 x 512 and chock-full of gross jpeg artifacts).

The thing is, the model could only be ripped with a 3D screencap. I know absolutely zilch about rigging a non-t-posed model, and in all honesty, I'm a beginner at rigging regular models. Does anyone have any pointers (or links, whatever you have will be greatly appreciated) on doing this?

I'm also open to teaming up with someone after I'm done cleaning everything up, if they want to do rigging/Source conversion.

Wii ripping is possible. However I'd suggest to wait till Wii U is. Those textures are horrible.

I think that's a compliment, but I will take it as a compliment. Good luck my friend!

@Vipes wait really? Man if you did that you would be getting more work done then I ever would in a year XD.

I'm doing Seekers, progress is somewhere over there. Also doing Megatron, Optimus Prime, Soundwave, and a few others with the help of RTB.
