I'd assume if you could get them to appear on the selection screens they'd simply follow the dancing bones files.

I am so stabbing you first chance I get. You need to come to bemanifest this year. If you have a knife you'd like to be shanked with, bring it along, Ill gladly use your equipment.

Yes. It is possible. the characters do follow bones actions, which is how I got them to do the slight pregameplay movement in DDR Forever and WestFest. Ill post a video of it sometime soon. Ill warn you though, I hate screen captures so its going to be a Cell phone video. But itll work well enough. Then Ill post some instructions after my Japanese Language and Culture exam on Monday.

Sorry its going to take so long, but School comes first. Period. And anyone who tries to get me to do it earlier will get an infraction, and a boot to the head.

Don't worry. We can wait. Anyway, much of the waiting time would be spent by me trying to get it to work anyway, before realising I don't have 4.0.

But before that whe need some guy that makes characters for both SuperNOVA games. I only can provide some textures...

I'd much prefer that if it was:

Anyway...

Does anyone know how the old characters were made, especially the 5th Mix set and the personally designed ones? I'd say it's perfectly possible to make the Supernova ones, especially if you have the textures, however I personally have no experience in character making so I couldn't really help in the actual development of them.

[sharksoda]

I'd do it if a) I had references/SN2, and b) I didn't suck at characters.

The first ones were ripped from DDR PC somehow.
The CCR ones were ripped using specialized tools that weren't released.
Personally designed characters most likely used a base model, then did the animations. There's a guide here.

So I assume there is even more to it then I think...
What would happen if you arranged the textures and simply pasted them over a copy of another dancing character? Would they show, but just look off in places due to them begin pasted over the wrong model shape? So all you'd need is 3D model knowledge and a program to modify the shape so the textures fit?

Anyway, as good as having the official characters dancing would be, I'm more eager for just the theme really. The characters as well would just be a nice cherry on top more than anything.

It could work. Plenty of recolors and such were done back in the day.

Also, the DDR PC ripper was in the SMCVS repository for the longest time. it might have gotten removed though. I'm pretty sure Chris wrote it.

EDIT: Also, I edited my last post.

[TakuyaMAXX]

Guys I have news about DDR SuperNOVA2 theme release date.
Here's the facts:
- I have a work right now, so the less I have is time to theme.
- But I really want to share it with you ASAP.
- So I'll work hard on my free time to get the Rev. 1.0 soon.
- I won't going to release a Beta, Preview, etc... for this theme.

More news soon... and thanks about your support XD

DjElyte, you are right about what you have told me, but this time I don't have enought time to do what I want and should..... sorry....

[DELICIOUS HOT COCK]

Why apologize? It's not like you've canceled all your projects or anything, so just keep your eyes on the goal

Are arrows ever going to be updated again, or should I consider them final?

[Takato-2MB]

=O, Takuya's Official Page has been suspended!! WTF?

i wanted to experiment with some things in 3.9 and 4.0

Takuyas sn2 theme is goin to be the shit wooooo!!!!

Due to several problems with the chosen servers to host my web page, I decided to use my very old server with an ancient web page that must have to be updated to hold DDR theme progress and links.

Here's the address

This page was updated for last time when I was born as themer, so don't think that is the real progress of MAX or MAX2.... well, there you can find ancient theme progress and snapshots.
