OMG OCTOLINGSSSSSS

the texture compression on a lot of those decorations makes me feel physically ill but extreme compression is better than bad/no compression!

im also gonna spoil this, the player models (or at least female octo) have full bodies. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/595423263350456323/1029019475049193512/unknown.png major improvement
(idk why the text is doing that)

going from a waiter to a ripper has been a great decision as I can now explain what's taking so long. the first part is the people who verify the models have other things to do before this. the second is that you cant just casually rip every single model, you need to rip them 1 by 1 and as of now, there are 1572 items in the models folder and even after that, you need to put it into another program to turn it from .zs to .dae and THEN you can make it fbx and after that you need to make 2 pixel specific renders of the model so its a lot of work. i will be ripping some quick models here and there because I'm sure TMR doesn't want me spamming a bunch or random models, but I will mostly work on the player models starting with female octoling. I would recommend learning how to rip. it only takes an hour or 2

I am astounded by the amount of crap RTB puts up with, I deeply admire their patience

I've said it a bunch of times before and I'll say it yet again -- be patient. It takes time to review submissions, and complaining about how long it takes (not to mention the backlog that also needs to be reviewed) isn't going to make us review them any faster.

@TheGayBaka this is what I have at the moment: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/834969568836321375/1028436655733997649/unknown.png

@sky_chaser probably not the end, but with none of the models being approved, the ripping will definitely slow.

end of ripping?

@CheesusSliced could I get that shader, please?

time to be a BIG SHOT

It uses the TRM texture for the dual ink color

@Aurumantem There is only one teamcolor map actually for the dual colors. I don't quite know how it is done, but I have a shader that does it really well. Here is an example of how it looks https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/834969568836321375/1027029301264134154/unknown.png

bang bang bing

If you're looking to do Blender-only stuff with the models I recommend googling Squidnodes by PastaOwO, they're pre-made node setups that look perfect from the get go. I'm wondering if anybody has official values for Deep Cut's blood (not hair) colours, I've looked through the og files and I'm pretty sure they're in the shader which I'm having issues accessing, so if anybody can get in there and share them that would be awesome.

I really wanna see how they do the dual ink colors lmao. I wonder if they use two team color maps or if its just a gradient tex.

Glad the?is in the files

It'll be interesting to compare the Rival Octolings.

This is the HLT Setup I use for anything using HLT or MAC textures, originally posted by Jasper.
