Guitar Fighter [almost done]

Well, Uglonep dared me to make a game that is controlled with the Wii Les Paul controller, so I did. Or rather, I still am. I just need to add enemies and the sound effects for all the frets except for green.

Either way, I thought you guys might want to see a screenshot of it, so here goes! The Guitar model is from Turbosquid btw. I was too lazy to make my own. >.>

 

Just thought I'd post a bit more stuff to try and wow the crowd. Here's the awesome power of Chords! I am not sure what its purpose will be yet, or how to limit its use, but this is what it looks like anyhow.

 

As a guitarist, I'm intrigued. I can't see the inlays from your screenshots, however. Is it a Les Paul Standard of a Les Paul Custom? Either way, the back of the neck doesn't match the color of the body. Blasphemy!

 

I'ven't a clue. I just plugged "Les Paul" into TurboSquid and took what I got. Anyways, glad you're intrigued by it.

 

I'm a 7-string guitarist, however, so if you want to make people like me really happy...

Hah!

 

While those are smoking awesome models, their price tag is a little to high over my comfort zone ("free").

 

That's why I gave you the sticky-out tongue.

That being said, those 7-string Ibanez models appear to be extremely accurate to the real things.

 

Awesome -- one of the things I love most about all CG is the power it gives to visualize the intangible -- feeling the groove, seeing a scent trail, simulated synaesthesia, etc. Remember the rats' experience of tasting food in "Ratatouille"?

About that model: 225,000 polygons seems huMONgous...how would one optimize such a fine instrument?

 

Decimate modifier in Blender, maybe?

 

If you want to use the Uniwii plugin, let me know. I'm hoping to clean it up for a release this week, but things are hectic and that may slip, so PM if you're interested.
