This is actualy more of a repost then anything. mrappard actualty suggested this back in june/july when the SDK was supposidly nearing completion ( [e digicons][/e] ...) (Is anyone up for a Collab)
anyway with the SDK around the corner ( [e digicons]^_^'[/e] )... and with our brand spanking new modding section fo the forums ( [e digicons]:grin:[/e] ) i thought now if a good time to bumb this old post back into the spot light. first of, what we want is to:
Create a working and playable Frogboy Demigod [e digicons]:frogboy:[/e]
In order to do this we'll need a good group of modders (since SD/GPG have expressed how incredibly difficult this is going to be.) Anyone interested should post their interest below and try find me on the #dgmodding channel on the IRC (or PM me). for something like this i'm thinking we'll need quite a few 3D modelers and animators as well as some coders for doing abilities and such. All in all it'll probably be very tough.. and in all honestly we might not even finish it. However if a good amount of work goes in and some nice clean models come out of it i can't see y SD or GPG wouldn't mind picking up the project and finishing it themselves.
and after all... its Frogboy we're talking about here. that's right, the one who kept our hearts lifted with journal entries and 50 min documentaties about late nites at SD ([e digicons]:')[/e] ) . honestly he probably needs another vactiona and a raise, but since no one here can do that we might as well try immortalize him as a Demigod
Consider this a learning project. We have to start somewhere and this seems like a great place to start
I got fev ideas (nothing personal to frogboy but too hilarius to miss)
Level 1
Frogboy start in frog like form (say half size of oak). He got very low HP and only one ranged attack, most of the times he avoid fights, unless it is 3v1. He can damage enemies with his tongue and even have chance to paralyze them so they cant fight back.
Level 5
Frogboy understands that he is diffrent then others. He realize that he is something else. He morphs from frog into human with little side effects (green skin, large and round eyes, over sized tongue) (He also recives little one handed sword and gains extra 50dmg)
Level 10
Frogboy prince realizes he is ment to become ruler of Demigod world. He is no longer afraid to confront his enemies and gains active ability "Mass silence", which can silence his enemies everywhere on map. (His swords become larger, it is now bastard sword and gains extra 100dmg)
Level 15
Frogboy prince gains ultimate power, making people wanna follow him and die for him. Every time he sees enemy creep wave there is 33% chance that they will turn back and fight for him. (His sword grows even bigger, becomes now Claymore sword and gains extra 200 dmg)
Agreed. From the sounds of it, modding is going to have to been a team effort with very few (good) mods being done alone.
As for the OP... i did some drawgin and this is what i got:
still got a long way to go but the idea is there. basicly a medevil style armour with from head. similar to the picture on the other page. larger hammer for a weapon and chain mail for under armour.
i'll keep scketching and trying my hand at 3Ds, soon as i have anythign else i'll post it up [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
If anyone want a base this was the original FrogBoy Model
http://67.55.41.251/Demigod/FrogBoy.rar
I would like to see this but still have the ability to move, say give it a range of movement like a base of 20 meters and that increases with the level of the skill. We could use a somewhat stealth demigod in this game.
@ ScottishAlien
I found a cool frogmonster model, looking exactly like Brad [e digicons]:grin:[/e] :
That looks horrible.
LOL hes got a flat patch ahahah.
Reminds me of a green venom. Not diggin it.
LOL
ok, after 5 hours on 3Ds Max i finaly have some workable material. sure its rough... and needs a lot of fine tuning and texture and a skelton but for now u can see what i got. without further ado:
if you'd like to see it in more detail feel free to download the file from here:
Frogboy2.max
Looks good! The loin cloth fits well lol. This will be exportable to granny right?
And if you can make a quick UV of the body or face I could make a quick bitmap to go along with it. Unless you'd like to wait till it is more complete.
good day for 3D modeling.. bad day for homework [e digicons]:-"[/e]
@Rocky_Tooth
yes this will be exported into gr2 format as soon as i get around to it. for now i'm going to learn how to texture and help out with that. as for the UV you're more then welcome to use the .max file i have there and do it, i unfotunately don't know how (don't tell anyone but this is actually my first huminoid 3D model[e digicons]*_*[/e] ... shhh... ). if i figure it out i'll throw one up, but ur best bet for time is to just DIY it.
if anyone else wants to take a crack this feel free (these are just my ideas... the actual model and concept will be a community effort [e digicons][/e] ). i call copyrights on the models but if u want to design textures for it or even add somethig to the model i have there feel free.b i'll be scouring Lynda.com for a while now and try figure this texture stuff [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

looks nice for the beginning !
my suggestion for skin texturing:
a yellow-black style looks very good, maybe frogboy would look more interesting with it than with a green style !
yea i was looking at a green and blue frog on google images that was pretty interesting too. but i agree that the black/yellow or green might work better.
i think we really need some imput from the inspirer...
@Frogboy
What do you think? and do you have any suggestions?
for the normal map you should really consider Z-Brush
Not loving the look of the hammer. I would like a more sledge hammer approach with a larger head and the word BAN in caps engraved in it.
that can be done... if u have any pics or references that'd be awesome (lot easier to design). i'll do some sketching and try build a nice looking hammer. i'm thinking of designing something bigger say where the hammer head is as large or slightly smaller then the whole body.
but i'm open to suggestions
I still like mrappard's way more.

This is where I got the idea... Scroll to the bottom to see THE BAN HAMMER!
Looks quite good acctually. Im guessing you're gonna change the skin somwhat?
I would medol it kinda like a battle toad. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battletoads
I would think it would be easier from a design perspective to base it off of a proven model (granted 2d) or a bipedal frog.
How about this for the hammer?
ooooo..... me like.
i'm stil trying to find time to learn UV wrapping and animation, so as soon as i get some praise worthy results i'll post what i got. (one of my attempts turned into a colour polerized version of the Joker, funny, but not very good). If we (or Frogboy) can decide on a colour scheme then i think this will go a lot smoother. i'm currently voting for either the black and yellow or this:
