#3d posing shenanigans

[winter-doggo]

Hello I remembered I could do things with 3d models and smushed them together like dolls. my friend wanted me to post them so here, asoryuu kiss upon ye ^u^

ryunosuke is on his tippy toes. by the way.

Hi, I got my hands on the TGAA2 DLC models! And I am using them for normal purposes (grief and Mouse Observation)

I have uploaded the fruits of my extra content model ripping labour so far (and also MD) into a google drive folder if anyone else is in need of them (fair warning: have not tested most of them yet, and you will need to texture them yourself right now, but the components are there. Let me know if you try and there are issues!)

under the cut: more asoryuu poses + masked apprentice 3d model stuff (spoilers if you haven't finished the game)

i wanted to make them dance :]

at the request of a friend: hand kiss

(i screwed up kazuma's shoes in that one. abd didn't notice for ages because i don't pay attention to kazuma's shoes. this is what i get for winging it so much hahaha)

MD w/ the look from the scene. All versions of MD have the full head/face/hair modelled, even though the model used outside of cutscenes never actually gets to unmask (and his eyes and hair are mostly hidden because otherwise they'd clip through).

In fact, the version used outside of cutscenes appears to specifically has a version of its hood that's down. (Yet not the one used in cutscenes!)

As an aside, getting to see the guts of things really does get me to appreciate the cutscene at the end of TGAA 2 case 3 all the more. They made extra textures and model pieces just for all the subtle changes in Ryunosuke's expression in that *one* moment. this guy. augh

hello asoryuu people (a lot of you have appeared) i am not a very consistently posting guy but i do have a small pile of things I did you might enjoy ^u^

Starting with a thing I made while still playing the first game and chewing on what i thought they were and then just. (pours assorted scribbles and 3d poses things on you)

major spoilers thing under the cut

I love getting distracted in the middle of making something else by the realisation that I can give him a silly <3 pose and stopping everything immediately to do this

three of them

I noticed a little while ago that Ryunosuke has slightly larger hands than Kazuma. This led to me making some more direct comparison. While Ryunosuke is very much a smaller guy overall, he does appear to have a bit more arm in his proportions.

(Ryunosuke lifted slightly for comparison purposes)

I was also asked to add Barok to the hand-based comparison so here that is:

A post about things I found out while prodding at DGS/The Great Ace Attorney character models

Ryunosuke's eyeballs are this weird shape. I've generally found that, with ripped 3d models from other games I've looked at, any seperately modelled eyeballs underneath people's eyelids are probably pleasant half-spheres. now i'm seeing something that's not that and it feels very strange. Sir your eyes are oblong

There are a bunch of little differences between Kazuma's uniform and everybody else's. Definitely on account of being the star student and local coolest guy

Some more under the cut, starting with differences between Ryunosuke, Kazuma and Ryutaro's outfits that I found interesting:

There is a subtle "shape" on the back of each uniform. Kazuma's looks sorta like a star (like the University pin). The shape the other two have is a little more like a triangle.

Ryunosuke and Ryutaro wear their armbands on their right arm. Kazuma wears his on his left.

Ryunosuke and Ryutaro have two buttons on their sleeves. Kazuma has three.

Kazuma has an extra five-pointed star pin on his collar that the other two do not.

Kazuma has the sword at his left hip connected to a belt thing that probably has a proper name but I'm calling it a belt. When this sword is in Ryunosuke's care, Kazuma's headband is tied around its sheath, and it stays at the left hip but has no such belt. I have no choice but to conclude that Kazuma's headband is enchanted to create gravity defiance at all times.

(I have a lot of feelings on that headband being attached the sword like that. I'm not crying, you are)

Kazuma has nice boots

Ryutaro obviously has the cool hat and cloak that the other two only get to wear in cutscenes/artwork. There is nothing under Ryutaro's hat.

I have no idea what that thing on Ryunosuke's left hand is

While most of the outlines in Ace Attorney are done with a slightly bigger version of the character model and backface culling, various characters have nose lines that are pretty much "drawn on" with meshes (that are flipped based on the needs of the camera angle). Here I haven't moved them so it's easier to see. Neat to see the sort of methods they use to do this stuff

I checked back at the DD models to see if they'd done this before and the answer is "yes but with a bit weirder implementation".

Van Zieks' wine seems to be only half red?

With the power of BONES i can cause.... mischief >:3c

And also make the partners hold hands. enrichment in my enclosure

Thank you for reading, I will use my power responsibly

A post about applying animations/poses onto characters that they were not made for (w/ Ace attorney model rips)

Because although the poses for a character are stored with the character they're meant for, there's nothing stopping you from giving them to someone else, and I've been having fun with it 🎉

First, for reference, characters with one of their own poses (...although perhaps at some slightly different angles than they're intended to be seen):

I suppose it shouldn't be surprising that the greater the difference in proportion the characters have, the weirder a swapped pose will come out. This especially applies to faces, because the bones will be placed as if it were for the expected character which uh. screws em up a bit. BUT it's very possible to tweak them into something that works!

Here's those same poses shuffled to someone else, with a little tidying up (It's really fun to actually?? :o)

And here's the unmodified versions of the switched poses, if you're curious:

I don't know what about Klavier's face makes Athena's jawbone jam into her skull in such a way - yes. yes that was part of the problem. that bone should not be there. (also the fact that earring movement translated to making apollo's wrist twitch like that fascinating)

While the lads weren't much work off the bat, everything with Athena's face and hair was so mangled I cleared most of the animation there and just did it myself. An very interesting way of getting practice in, that's for sure. I also made the oversight of giving the earring-batting animation to the one that doesn't have an earring so I made his hair twitch instead. working with apollo's hair is great actually

Synchronised falling

(i've been given too much power. as soon as the falling over stops being part of a dramatic moment in the game its comedy value increases tenfold)

Also here's Klavier with that Apollo folded arms pose while I'm at it. Gave me a jumpscare bc it has such Kristoph vibes

Anyway it's great fun giving some of my favourite lil guys' mannerisms to each other so i hope you found it fun too 👍

Another lil TGAA (dgs) 3D models stuff post

221B Baker Street seems to have lots of gaps in it that are not visible in-game due to the camera angle

Some people on my hands post were interested in Sholmes ( @postsaboutryuunosuke @cz3chovas-pocket ) so here he is. Also included some others. Not everyone has equivalent resting hand positions but with two angles each it should hopefully be easier to compare.

We know who Kazuma *didn't* get his hands from lmao

Lawyer swords side-by-side (Karuma, van Zieks' rapier, Apprentice's rapier)

SUCCESS

Folks - I now have the 3d knowhow and the method to rip the 3d models from CCFF7, and that includes the bones! I also figured out the fix for other misc issues I were having such as with transparency

Check it out :O (hurls Amatsu MonHun through the hole in Aerith's roof)

I've also gone through every model in the game and made a list of what's what. So, theoretically, there are no limitations! And you know what that means: @moisttwaterr we finally have the technology.... the quest to make ZS hold hands has finally completed!!!

(If there's anything people'd be interested in seeing send in an ask ^^ also if you were in the same place as me, where you wanted to do this but can't get the bones/textures/anything to work, maybe I can help)

I'm so happy to have finally got this working :D These model rips and my lowpoly Nyanko were the two things I was ultimately aiming to figure out when I started figuring out 3D models months ago. Now I need to figure out a next step lol. Definitely want to try animating
