There are only two little problems remaining before It can be used :

In 3Ds Max, there are two capes : one that has the inside color (and is black outside), and one that has the outside color (and is black inside).
Since I have to place both the emblem and the outside texture on the ouside cape, what do I do ?
(And where is Marth's outside cape texture, by the way ?)

Before messing with the eyes, could someone please expalin me how far I can modify them, how I can create a palette (I'm working on Paint.NET ...), and how to save as "indexed" ?

Please ?
I'm almost done ...

Looks pretty good. Keep it up.

About the outside cape, I couldn't place both emblem and outside cape in 3DSMax and I never really found the texture for it. But everytime I made a Marth texture hack the cape had the same color as the part of it around his neck. So I'm going to assume that this one is used for both.

Can't help with the others questions, sorry. I've only edited eyes once where I just changed the eye color.

Good hack for ur first try Miacis. But in my opinion the symbol on the cape leaves a lot to be desired.

Looks pretty good so far, I especially like the details on the sword and sheath.

Agreed. The Tunic is very sleek as well.

I don't know anything about Paint.NET, sorry. I haven't used Ash with palettes yet so I'm not sure, but I think you might need photoshop to get palettes to work with it. But again, I don't know. The only palette work I've done has been on CSP's.

Yes it does ... But I don't really know what I ould do to make it look better.
Maybe drawing it directly by myself.

The problem is that I never got an actual big, clear shot of it. The best I could find was that : 2kinds.com/characters_files/Villians.jpg
Which is pretty bad.
However, it seems it does not appear on the picture, but there ARE different transparencies on the logo to make it look more natural.

Ahh, that's perfect, then. ;D

I think that Paint.NET has the same functionnalities as Photoshop, but I'm not sure.
But I think I could handle it with only the Photoshop step-by-step.

Anyway, I'm glad you like it.

My next will be a little more fun, I think. ^^
Does anyone know what can & what can't be transparenced for Ike ?

I know for sure that the backside of his cloak can be made completly transparent. I'm not really sure about the neck part but I remember reading something about Ike having 'gross shoulders' so that should be possible too.

His clothes located in FitIke05 have some natural transparency and I succesfully made some parts of it transparent (removing the overhanging back part of his tunic to be precise). So I'm pretty sure transparency works for most of it.

His additional equippment (the leather belts and patches) on the other hand can't have any transparency and I think his sword shouldn't work either. Aside from that I'm not sure what's with gloves but I don't think they will work.

Cool texture, but yeah i agree, you could fix a little that symbol, but well, still good work

[Miacis]

Well, I finished what needed to be corrected. The tiara looks more light, shiny and overall natural.
I made a more discreet logo ... hoxever, it still looks a bit weird. I don't get it : why use diferent transparencies on the original logo if no transparency at all appears on the cape ?
Anyway, I jut uploaded it, if anyone is interested : www.megaupload.com/?d=WM30EUD3

Grah ! I am annoyed.

I spent all my afternoon trying to index the palette of my textures ...
But, of course, Paint.NET cannot do that (or I do not know where the hell it is ...), I don't understand anything about GIMP (and he just tend to mess with random windows ...), and I cannot find any working old (read : probably more simple) version of PhotoShop.

Since this is starting to get terribly horripilating, could someone have the kindness of indexing my only two +2 textures for me ? So that I could send them to you by PM and you could index its palette ?
Please ? I would love you forever and accesorily lick you on the cheek. :3
