SF4 PC: The Custom Skin Mega-thread!

only EMG parts can be replaced with “piecemontee SFA explorer” v0.17 so
(the chinese tools works the same)

  • export an EMG,
  • edit (You are only allowed to move vertices for now)
  • save(It’s ok to use the default precision settings (6digits) but check “outpout normals”)
  • inject into the same EMG (Some modelers may not preserve the triangles / vertex count so it will fail with them…)

USMCMarine seems to be doing quite well so far using piecemontee’s updated tool instead of the chinatool:

He seems to have gotten around the coordinate problems (I think that’s what’s making things get weird and stretched out) and piecemontee’s tool can inject without the wacky skin rash effect.

He’s still running into a few issues, but he’s working on slimming Chun’s thighs and giving Guile a normal head! :smiley:

FYI, it’s true that right now you’re confined to moving vertices rather than being able to create brand new models and all editing has to be done in that freeware editor rather than 3D Studio Max at the moment.

@onyx, if I uploaded Rufus’ cos file, would you be able to move the vertices enough to make him not look like a fat piece of crap? It would be cool to make him look like the original concept drawings (regular-sized kung fu master).

You have to retain the original file size no? Too bad you can just take Ryu’s alternate body and save it as his body. If it’s possible to do that without issue or crashing it would be perfect.

Have you guys tried using zBrush instead of 3ds? I heard zbrush is much more advanced and has more compatibility with several file types.

  • Done
  • Done
  • Done
  • Step 4 I don’t get. When I load the cos, I can’t inject anything (unselectable). When I load the obj, going to “inject” causes the program to crash.

You had the same problem I had when I followed his link to the other forum.
The version in the original post is old, the new version is actually in a post on the last page and you have to sign up to the forum to download it.

Dammit… I’m trying to register but the f/ing captcha is impossible… Says I used up my registration attempts…

haha, you on irc? ill mirror it temporarily for you.

Just FYI, clearing your cookies should give you more attempts.

I can’t use the skins!!!
for example the downloaded skin file name is like “01-03” or “01-09” so after backing up the original files i replaced original ones with this but in game i only have Color 1 and Color 2 which are the same original skins and i can not see the new ones… so I renamed the downloaded ones to “01-01” and “01-02” to load them instead of the two original ones but this caused the game to crash before beginning the match ! :wasted:

@lasvista
you have to unlock all of the colors first. you can use kennykilla’s trainer to do that easily. If you want to use the colors in the place of the ones you’ve unlocked yourself, you have to hex-edit the files as described in the ‘tutorials’ section of the wiki (i.e., you can’t just rename them, you have to modify the files themselves).

Would anyone be up to skinning this stunning individual into the game? Drop me a PM if so

Hey Seedyrom , you think you may change the title to custom skin/voice thread since voice pack has been made by Leogansky/Goshanes ?

With that , I’ll post the updated Cartoon Bison below and it comes with a video as well :smile: !

@acekombat lol funny

Dr. Doom - Dr Doom is awesome!

Maybe a more Accurate Sean is possible now -

Hm you took off his ponytail. Maybe someone could make a more accurate Sean with a Dan model base than the previous one with Ryu.

Take off the bandanna Ryu
Is there a way to edit Ryu’s bandanna off? Maybe by getting rid of the two streamers in the back, and then coloring the part of the bandanna around his head = flesh colored.

It’d be cool to give him this look:

I may have gone a bit too far…

LOL do it up xD

She needs to eat a cheeseburger, put some meat on them bones…

Done it, just for you

Let me know if you want the files, I could try to mess his hair up a bit more like the drawing if you like…

Doom is sweet! The textures and the color filtering looks really cool. Nice moon stage, too- the grey flow looks like molten steel.
