This work in progress is more like a "convertion in progress". The original mesh was made for NeD, a regular poster on the Bid for Power forums. The whole convertion idea was Seph's.

If you don't know how is Vegito, well Vegito is the fusion between Vegita and Goku (Kakaroto: Goku's saiyan name) using the ear-rings of the supreme Kai.

My rol here is just make sure that the model will be released in JK2. I do this because DBZ was one of my favorite Anime Series and it will be fun...


----- Status -------

- Yesterday, I get a little free time for studying the NeD mesh. I'll reconfigure the orientation of arms and legs, and other stuff. I hope that the original uvw mapping don't get mess up.

- Tonight I'm going to work on the hands and arms.

- Nothink more to say, here...the first snapshots!!!!.....

yeah, I was a DBZ fan. But the history get kinda stupid with DBGT.

Thanks you guys for the support, the mesh is outstanding thanks to NeD.

RaSiN_HeCk, this model has high priority on my modeling queue. It get finished as soon as I can. I will get too much free time to work on my models and Vegito after April 9th (that's the last day to submit my thesis to graduate school)


Mobius Berreta, what are those requests dude, I can remember them, sorry

Well I've been working on cloud from KH,and Im almost done the head but I am having trouble with the face mask at the bottom so one of my requests would be to get permission from the guy who made the cloud model on q3,to convert to jk2.
That's just about the only one I have,and oh,DBGT wasn't created by the origanal creater of dbz and db,so of course it was going to suck :P

1.) That model is for ESF, not Bid For Power

2.) I already was having someone convert it to jk2, but whatever

3.) I don't have a 3.

(1). I never say that the model was for Bid for Power. I say that I found the model on the Bid for Power "Forum".

(2). Good.


(3). me neither, lol. j/k


----- Status -------

- Still busy with college, but I get the skin files from NeD and the uvw map is working just fine

Since when were you going to convert the model for jk2? You (or your friend) never asked me for permision to do that.

Also the model was NOT for ESF. I released the model on several dbz mod sites as a learning tool. For people to reference modelling, or to practice skinning and animating on. It did say that in the model readme.

Anyways, nice job on converting the model so far. One question though. Why is the belt texture mirrored? I know the original wasn't. Is it something you needed to do for jk2?

Oh, and maybe i forgot to mention, but the model needs to be welded back together (it was un-welded when i exported the 3ds). That way those lines running down the side of the model will go away.

Good work so far ;)

NeD, good to see you here. Guys, NeD is the author of this outstanding Vegetto model, congrats to him!.

About the belt, my mistake Ned, I reoriented the left leg and mirrored the right leg, I just have to re-uvwmap that part.

Yeah, I'm aware of the unwelded sections, I work on that tonight.

NeD, about the segmentation I has to divide your original mesh on a few subobjects:
r_arm, l_arm, r_hand, l_hand, hips, torso, head, head_face, torso_r_sh, torso_l_sh, r_leg, l_leg, hips_belt, r_hand_wri, and l_hand_wri.

Those subobjects are intented for setting the model to allow desmembering on the game. The caps are subobjects between the subojects mentioned above. Next think, I will do is reoriented the finger in order to fit the bones of the default jk2 skeleton.


----- Status -------

- I finished making the segmentation for jk2 and uvw-map the caps. I need to re-uvw mapping some parts of the body, because I was welding and tweaking vertex around and the mapping may screw up...but not too much, so don't worry.

well, I need to perform some reorientation on the hands, weld together some thinks, and check the uvw mapping. I can say that there is a 70% complete, if I get more time off this model could be out soon enough.

I looked at the screenshots and i just looked in awe :eek:
I was so impressed with all the bright colors and perfect details. it looks so perfect! IS this model almost done? or does it need more finishing touches on it?. Are you doing any other models besides this one? Im pretty sure you are but im not sure which ones at the moment :p anyway best of luck to you and your model.

I'll never showcase something and don't released to the community. Also, in this case, the mesh is not my original work, is NeD's, and I'll ask him for permit before of doing anything.

SSJ2 Vegetto, that's positive, the ssj2 skin is already made by NeD. I think that it will suit you well judging for your screen-name!...

CyBerNetiX, yes indeed, I have some other model on the works: Quinlan, Barriss Offee, Luke on Stormtropper suit(on hold right now), Tholme (early stage of development, nothing to show), and some other things).

About the mesh, the mesh is final, NeD perform a great work doing it!

think you'll do a battle damaged version? that'd be cool, but Vegitto never really got hit much

hmm.. I dont' think vegito had a belt. or if he did it wasn't very noticeable to me anyway. but i don't remember a belt. :confused:
If there is a belt on vegito, that would also look good with him wearing it on the model.
