Mega Man 10 - Solar Man

An attempt at a Super Smash Bros.-inspired recreation of the Robot Master, Solar Man, from Mega Man 10.

He comes with a somewhat-hokey Solar Flare both in its balled up form (which comes with a ready-made rotating loop) and its explosive wave form.

Included are sequences which open his hands wider, clench his fists or point his index fingers. I also gave him some eyelids with sliders for blinking, an angry face or a sad face. Additionally, I added two bones on both his shoulders which should hopefully alleviate any major clipping that occurs when you rotate his arms.

It took a long old time to make this model, this being my first attempt at high-poly baking in Blender and texture-painting in any sort of detail. Everything was made from scratch, using the Wii U model of Mega Man as a reference.

If there are any issues with the model, please let me know.

Programs Used:
Blender
GIMP
VTFEdit
NotePad++

Thanks to:
Pte Jack - for his excellent and comprehensive 'Blender to SFM' tutorial and his Blender video editing tutorial.

RandomTBush - For the Mega Man port over on the Models Resource site[www.models-resource.com], which was incredibly handy to have as a reference when trying to ape the Smash Bros. aesthetic, and also for topology (I absolutely should have credited you as soon as this model was uploaded - it slipped my mind, sorry!).

Zappy - for providing many solutions to my many stupid questions and generally helping me understand Blender and SFM more.

bond1 (YouTube User) - for his specular map creation video on Youtube. It really helped me out in adding surface details to the model and made the model look far better than it once did.

Grigory Revzin and Alex Portman (Link to Revzin's site)[revzin.net] - for their very useful HWM reference manual.

1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144 - for the rotational gif idea.
