DKC Atlas Forum

Awesome Looking in good!
Just one nitpick. The text background is much darker then the rest of the tire. The tire should be all one shade of black.

I just watched this and I must say the animation is horrible. I don't remember it being so bad! At the time 10 years ago i thought it was decent...

Interesting idea....

Here is Diddy in 4K!
I like how he turned out not perfect though.

Not perfect. Some of the normal maps didn't import perfectly. Tree_Version1A.png Some Pine Trees. They are meant to be used at a distance so you won't notice how simple it is.

and the bounce... in 4K haha

Why don't you give Unreal or Unity a chance, I'm sure you can do some cool stuff with your models if you practice a bit with one of those game engines. I went the Unreal route and now I feel is too late for me to migrate all my projects to Unity but I hear Unity is really good too. Is Unreal free? ...

Unfortunately all my rigging and animations are lost from the import to Blender....
I don't have any animation software... just a 3dsmax trial; that ends in 10 days!

If you want to use my models I would be willing to send you the models and scene files. If you want?

Here's Donkey Kong with hair,
your thoughts? is it too rough?

BoomBox... Not that great.




K.Rool... It's supposed to be like the original artwork from rare.

Gnawty. Not sure if I like him.

Here is a fern and a Necky,

Amazing!
way better then my dodgy models !

^ My priority is to model and animate DKC1 characters and objects.

Here is the butterfly. Its meant to be simple and not realistic. And I suck at texturing lol.




Too Shiny?

Mine Cart. Needs Hair. And not sure on the lighting.



Also I thought the millstone was too metallic looking. Hear is a version less shinny. Better?

I think this looks better, what do you guys think?

Lighting and shading edit

You are correct. I am modelling it off of Squawks from DKC Returns/ Tropical Freeze.

I decided to try to make it look more cartoony. I thinks its a lot better now. Not perfect.

Here is Squawks, Not sure if i like the feathers, May redo them later...

WOW!!

I rendered the title in 4K Using Blender. Feel free to use this for anything you want. Just give credit. It even has a transparent background. :) File is to big. I had to upload it else where...

Yes. ZBrush UI is pretty confusing. I don't find the UI in Blender confusing. I'm sure you can learn it in time. Shouldn't take that long to learn. And google is your friend! I have been using Blender for less then a week and I have learned a lot already. ;) Your work is amazing Cosmicman. Keep it u...

Thanks for the kind words. What are you currently using to model? That Zinger was made in max and retextured and lit and rendered in blender. Still got to learn how to edit geometry. I am very new to Blender only used it for 3 days so I don't have many tips. I have used lots of 3ds apps in the past ...

I know it's stupid! I'm exporting as an fbx format.

I am ditching 3dsmax. Too expensive. In the process of converting my project to Blender witch is free.

Comments are always welcome.

Not quite finished but you get the idea.

This looks amazing Cosmicman!

Keep up the good work!

^ Thanks Cosmicman!

I finally got a hold of a free trial of 3dsmax and in the process of converting my scenes into Blender. I got 27 days to do this!

^ I fixed your nitpick and your gripe,
do you approve?

This is an update to my Donkey Kong Country sprite extractor program. I gave the project a name lol. Almost all the sprites are supported. Next update will be extracting "Unused sprites". Lots of inspiration and help from rainbowsprinkles and other fellow hackers :) Thanks guys! Whirlwind_...

^ Yes we are! I totally get what you are saying.

Thanks guys for your advice

I have one more that I can't find. Where in the rom is the below sprite?

I typed in the address 0xBBCC56 in the tile editors but i still can't find it.




Thanks!

These are just a few examples, there are a lot of ways to achieve similar results. I don't know what most emulators use, other than ZSNES multiplying by 8. It was actually Qyzbud who pointed that out to me; he was doing all of the maps using ZSNES and I gave him an image with minisculely different ...

I think its the emulator. I am using the latest ZSNES emulator however I think that's where the problem is cuzz I tried a different version (ZSNES 8MB Custom Build) and the RGB values match with your program. I guess all emulators have filters or differences in rendering, https://www.romhacking.net/...

Here is an example. Notice the green value is different between programs,

I noticed that the RGB values of palettes differ between Mattrizzle and rainbowsprinklez programs. They differ slightly same with the spriters resource and the atlas maps.

Which is the correct palette to go by?

Thanks!

That's awesome mr sprinkles,
Good work!

Good Day, Just wondering. The Mine Elevator platform is not working in my program. Does it differ somehow to the other sprites? I used the Address in the sprite viewer and converted it to a PC address but it gives a bunch of corrupted tiles. Do I have to manually assemble the sprite tiles? Mine_Plat...

Nice!!

Just two suggestions I have if you are interested...

- Highlight the selected pixel arrangement in the Preview window.
- Select a sprite by address. Right now you have to use the Image field.


I have a few more things but then I'm nit picking....

I think I found a bug. See image. The last two 16x16 groups are not correct. It shows up correctly in the main view but not in the tile editor.

I was able to locate and extract the first tile of the Millstone.
Where is the array of tile coordinates and does it have a header?

Thanks

I found the small animal Tokens.

Now how do I find the address of the first tile in that program?



and the Millstones

Well I found part of of a banana

So... I know were the bananas are located But I don't know how to use the palette editor to find them... I just get gibberish. I tried increasing / decreasing the bits. I loaded a save state as well and scrolled through the ROM. Location_Of_Banana.png Below is proof I'm not totally going bananas lol...

Good to know thanks, I bet they are compressed right?

Also the small animal tokens are not in your sprite viewer. How can I locate them? I want to learn how to locate them in the YY-CHR.NET

Thanks!

Hello, I came across a few more missing sprites. The DK Barrel, and Millstones.

Are the barrels made up of two sprites overlay ed?

Edit*

I would like to figure this out on my own, but need direction.

Thanks

Thanks for the confirmation Mattrizzle.

If ya feel like taking a gander I extracted and ordered all the map head icons and put them in a zip archive.

The map heads share sprite ID $0088. IDs less than $008C (D.K.'s first one) are handled differently from the others in that they do not load their own graphics. So the map icons all have the same X Y coordinates and said coordinates are located in the same spot in the ROM? Below are a few sprites. ...

I couldn't find the coordinates for the map sprites...




Here is one with more then 1 2x2, correct?

How are the coordinates wrong?
I compared it to the spriters resource one and they look the same to me?
