What exactly did you use to make it? Do you have proof that you made it or is it just a downloaded tutorial model?

If you made it then good work.

The textures used by cel-shaded models ARE much more simple than those used by normal ones. In fact, these textures are so simple even I can do them without any problems and I'm pretty bad with everything 2d.
By the way, a lot of that stuff is used to determine where to draw the black outline, something obviousely not present in windwaker. In games this is usually done by copying the mesh, scaling along vertex normals, inverting the normals and applying a black texture. Doesn't look as good as correctly calculated lines (the flaws are pretty visible in Viewtiful Joe) but is a whole lot easier to do and takes less processing time (even though it effectively doubles the triangle count).


If all these textures and cel shading models are so simple and easy for you why dont you post a render of your work?

While Wind Waker was impressive the other three games you listed weren't by Nintendo. Silicon Knights produced ED, Rare was responsible for SFA, and Sega's AV was responsible for F-Zero. When it comes to game produces by EAD Nintendo has disappointed IMO. The best games for Gamecube aren't by EAD on the GC. My favorite GC games aren't by EAD. Thats a first for me when it comes to a Nintendo console. With as many of the the Big N's franchises farmed out for GC. I was expected games from EAD that impressed none of them did. Wind Waker was good but it was a cell shaded Ocarina of Time. Super Mario Sunshine wasn't a bad game by any means and the high difficulty was a throw back to older Nintendo games but it didn't wow me. There hasn't been on GC game from Nintendo's EAD that has blown me away on Gamecube most EAD games seemed rushed to me. Given the fact that EAD wasn't under the strain it was during the N64 era I'm quite disappointed.

Firstly Eternal Darkness, Starfox, Metroid and F-Zero have all had input from Nintendo and are Designed for the Nintendo GameCube.  They are all first party Nintendo games which Nintendo have assisted in creating.


As for Zelda im not even going to begin with how patetic your statement was there,  a cel* shaded ocarina of time? I dont think so.

Whilst EAD's games havent been pushing the GameCube to its limits most of the games EAD create dont need to.  I mean look at Mario Sunshine is it suposed to be realistic? Nope so how are you going to make it push the cube to the limits.  Sure they could have done some texture work but its not worth it for somthing so insignificant. Zelda the Wind Waker in my opinion pushes the GameCube when you consider that there is no Load times and it loads those huge worlds and ocean etc.  Zelda the Wind Waker is easilly the best Cel shaded game ive seen to date.  

In my opinion there honestly hasnt been any EAD game that could greatly benefit from pushing the Cube to its limits.  There is also time constrants that may hinder EAD's efforts of really polishing a game.  Companies like Rareware and Retro arent working on as many games as EAD.

EAD had alot of Input on games like Metroid Prime.  The Samus model in Metroid Prime was created with the assitance of EAD.  EAD did the music.  And EAD assisted with the game design.

grrr DONT diss EAD.

The big blow for Nintendo was the loss of Multiplayer exclusive FPS games.  We dont have a Goldeneye for GameCube or a Perfect Dark.  Sure we have Giest coming soon but from the screenshots ive seen it doesnt look much better than Perfect Dark on n64.  Hopefully it will be polished up considerably.

All that the N64 had over GameCube was those two games and thats it.  GameCube has surpassed the N64 in every other way.

Prehaps somone stole your keys or registered before you?  Are the games you purchased older copys that had been on the shelf for a while?

Are they 2nd hand?

I think somone might have already registered them, contact nintendo about it.

Nintendo Gaming / RE:These screenshots look like crap!
« on: November 20, 2003, 02:24:19 PM »
woah that looks like complete trash.  I remember when Samus used to look like that in the Early builds.  Anyway yeah its about 500% better looking now but I bet people judged the whole game on a few screenshots like that.  I always play a game before I judge it

I seriously can't wait for the new Zelda Classic Disc though.

The thing is I dont know how they are going to do it.  We dont have Nintendo Power, Hopefully you just have to buy one or two GameCube games.  I dun know but if its only one or two games that I dont like (eg Mario Party, I dont like it beacuse no one else in my family plays the Cube so its a pretty boring 1 player experience) ill just steal the cards from inside the cases at the stores.)

I had to sell my N64 and all games to get money for a Cube, bye bye Ocarina of time and Majora's mask, nows my chance to get a critical piece of the puzzle.

MUST..... COMPLETE..... ZELDA COLLECTION

Its proberly because they dont want people ordering to many incase some rouge stores put them up for retail.  That could be why its only 1 per customer.

Wow, thanks on behalf of all of us.    Well in my opinion Nintendo is the only system which has games that arent just racing or fighting like ps2 and xbox.  Sure those games are good but Nintendo has the variety

Btw I ordered by Broadband Adapter Warp pipe here we come

Well there isnt an EB near me (closest is about 2 hours away) and the closest thing to that is a K-Mart and they have a pretty tiny selection of Cube Games.
