@suntzu6122 there is a program called HSDRaw which has made Crazy hand obsolete. If you Google HSDRaw you should find a place to download it from GitHub. This program let's you view character models while you make edits so you can see which hurtbox is selected and how it will appear in-game. github.com/Ploaj/HSDLib/releases

@@calebrobinson6406 is HSDRaw just for aesthetics or does it tweak numbers like crazy hand does? Im trying to balance characters in melee.

@@suntzu6122 it does just about everything you can think of

@@calebrobinson6406 Wheres the best place to learn how to use it? This seems really cool :D Im getting into melee but hate that Ness is dogshit lol.

Yes, HSDRaw a program created by Ploaj. Get it here: github.com/Ploaj/HSDLib

You can use a program called HSDraw to export the model files into a usable format for maya

never actually saw your reply (whoops) but yeah I used HSDraw to get him into blender to clean him up. Thanks for replying on this 4yo vid tho thats awesome

It's actually an unused audio clip in melee. Final smashes were an idea floated since 64 and they ran out of time to implement them in melee. There are a few audio clips thought to be meant for final smashes. The others are Marth saying "let's dance!" And captain falcon saying "blue falcon!"

You need DAT Texture Wizard to import the files over and rebuild and it will work

@@calebrobinson6406 I did. And I didn't work 🥲

Ive used that hotkey before for other stuff, but hadnt thought of it for the slippi replay browser. Thanks for the tip!

@@calebrobinson6406 no problem! you can also hide the bar at the bottom through tools and then view status bar if I remember correctly

Let me get my phob put together and you got yourself a match

Next to the tab that says Rendering is Animation and you can import animations one at a time

I really need to make a series on how to use HSDraw

@@calebrobinson6406 Thanks for the help man! A series on how to use HSDraw sounds hype 👀

I moved to a place with terrible internet (10 mbp down 1 mbp up) to now having fiber. Once I am done with my last semester of school expect to see more of me!

I am not as familiar with blender since I use Maya. I would suggest making sure you are using the latest version of HSDraw to export the model as .dae and it should be usable in Blender

Btw ive only not been showing more stuff ive done because my local internet suck nuts. 🤞company that was supposed to have fiber installed 4 months ago will get a move on soon

Vanilla Ganon dsmash isnt immune to SDI 🤷‍♂️

@@calebrobinson6406 yeah I know It’s more about how in ulti before a certain patch di would let you escape and punish him for using his move and I dont like that in such slow moves

.anim is really similar if not exactly the file type they used when creating melee. The latest program you should be using to mod melee is HSDraw which is basically a recreation of the developer tool kit that was used to make (some, not all) Gamecube games. SMD doesn't allow for joint scaling and is inferior. What Blender needs to be completely viable for animations is a plugin that allows Blender to export animations straight to .dat (melee animations are .dat files). Currently, only Maya has this plugin. You can still use Blender to make models for melee, however, which is good for stage creation and characters.

​@@calebrobinson6406Thanks for the additional info! Makes more sense why you used Maya instead

Could there be? Sure. Does it currently exist? No. I have plans to implement it into my mod eventually

Final smashes were meant to be a thing as far back as 64, and they wanted to implement them in melee as well. Unused audio clips like this are thought to have been the sound effect played during a final smash (Captain Falcon: Blue Falcon! Marth's: Let's Dance! and Ganon's: Ooyah! you can find them in melee's debug menus)

😆

Everything that has to do with smashforge or .smd is obsolete. HSDraw is superior in every way. You can also use HSDmaya which allows Maya to import and export .dat files directly (helps keep file sizes low)

I've been meaning to set up another guide, but the upload speed at my current address is unable to accommodate video uploads (under 1 mbps)

@@calebrobinson6406 Okay thank you for the reply! So if I understand correctly, just the exporting/importing method is different and all the stuff actually in maya is the same?

If you cant get a hold of Maya then Blender is the next best thing!

I am definitely not a fan of the Autodesk business model. Should be no such thing as a subscription service for a program. Either upgrade it yearly to make me want the next version, or make it a one-time purchase. The current system just seems like a cash grab and the cost is a barrier for many would be animators.

@@calebrobinson6406 gracias sir

Is this not a move from Ultimate?
