How to guides Who wants to make a Pokeball!?

Hey guys! ok so i posted earlier that i wanted to make a way for everyone to make pokeballs. YES YOU CAN TOO!

There is so many (in total by memory i think theres 26) So i thought i would make it a little fun! :) i have the original model and the texture files right here. So let me show you how to create your own custom Pokeball.

The basics: A model is made up of a high or low res picture that is used to skin the model, in some cases the skin is able to be folded and multiplied many times. In this i will show you how i made the texture.

The texture has 2 parts, top and bottom. Why? coz its easier to animate and custom skin :) however both skins are very similar. Go out and get yourself a 3d model viewer or you can import the model via photoshop and draw straight onto it :)

This is an example of what the final images look like... looks weird but let me show you how you map to it.

These are the maps, remember models are made using polys. You just need to color in those squares and when applied to the model, it can look amazing. Yes mine is made with MSPaint, but you can enhance it with Photoshop.

Make some Pokeballs and post pictures of them here. If you want, download blender or find a small model viewer for you to use that can import a texture file. I left them in .png format for those who dont have photoshop. Have fun! :D

Some pokeballs need to be customized via the 3d model itself, myself and Coleman can do those but i would like the community to get involved and make some nice custom stuff, even if it isnt Pokemon's original designs :) If we like your design, Im sure Nilllzz can add it into the game.

Let me know if you get stuck ;)

ok here ya go, i call the pokeballfw_OBJ file the fire/water ball, *simple idea really* it makes that specific type easier to catch, or its a special ball that comes with the starter a professor gives you, *if you like it, ill make a Nature ball=grass, Volcanic ball=Fire, Sea Ball=water, idk im bad with names so feel free to change the idea, and the black and red one called cccc is a random one i accidently made but looked kinda nice, like zoruas or something, that can be a mystery event zorua *LOOOOOOOOOONG time away option* but ill keep making more, once again im new to this so im kinda really bad, and do you have an email i can send too? 20.5 mb and compressed is too large -_- for 1 of them alone

EDIT
either hippo sends it to you through skype
or maybe you can pm me your email

That's nice and all but, can we use it in game ? Any way to import it ? And will it replace a current pokeball or it will be a new different one.

Wow i am very impressed, but can it open? :p Also how many polys is it? we are trying to keep the amount as low as possible :)

I especially like the red and black one!

i have no idea if it can open and how, i am also an somewhat amiture animator as well, so if someone can see if it can open i can somewhat animate it, but in not sure it would be compatible all about learning i guess, so hippo should send you the files through skype, to see if its openable, if not, please teach me what i can do to fix it up so i can keep making designs, cuz if anyone is reading this, its REALLY fun, to make designs on these ;)

my skype is mimicfeare
from there you can send me a .zip of the .obj files with the textures included and I can get them game ready as well as make any modifications if need be.

Once we get enough model perhaps we can convince nils to open a custom pokeball shop :)

I even know where to put the shop, by the pokeball makers home, lil kiosk outside for custom balls ;) obviously all the same strength as a normal pokeball (remember we dont want to make any unfair modifications)

This makes me also wonder, is it at all possible to make a way to switch a pokemons pokeball.......
