[DL] Stallions Source Pack (beta) by AeridicCore

[DL] Stallions Source Pack (beta) by AeridicCore

Before I say anything important, I should make a statement.

I hate eyeposing.

So here it is, the male reference pack I've been working on (while shamelessly making my own OC at the same time). What has been done:

- I reproportioned the body so that the head doesn't overweight the whole thing. Actually I just tweaked the bodyshape a bit and decreased the head size. Less space for brains, much better look.
- Polycount has been doubled (you see the pic), edgy deformations are no more.
- All v4 flexes that females have are also included except the one I talked about recently. Also these flexes act a bit differently and better in my opinion. Eyebrows not included yet.
- The base and everything applied to it has been made into dmx for better compiling.
- The UV remains the same, you can recompile any pony you want without loss. Well, almost without it.

I tested this on Strider, it works both in SFM and GMod. Hooray.

What we have now is a week of wasted time, total unsatisfaction, lots of consumed ramen noodles and a badass new base that is still a WIP.

DO NOT TRY TO COMPILE USING SFM's studiomdl.exe OR YOUR RIGHT EYE WILL NOT BE WORKING. SFM compiler fucks up things pretty much, better use TF2 or GMod compilers instead.

- thanks for guidance and being around, honey.

If problems happen, post in the comments or Note me. DON'T EVEN TRY TO NOTE ME IF YOU HAVE NOT EVEN THE SLIGHTEST IDEA ON HOW TO COMPILE AT ALL.

Ayy lmao.

If I didnt like canonic stallions that much, I would say I like this new reference. Sadly, I can't say that. It looks like some sort of... hybrid of female pony and male pony. Something like femboy stallion? I dunno.

AeridicCore Featured By Owner 6 days ago Hobbyist Filmographer

It's just my vision of stallions, I didn't expect everyone to fall in love with this.

So, this source packs allow you to make you own pony OC in Gmod, SFM, or Blender, right?

AeridicCore Featured By Owner Aug 11, 2016 Hobbyist Filmographer

Yep.

SonicSR71 Featured By Owner Aug 11, 2016 Professional Digital Artist

Ok. Thank you!

KataTsuda Featured By Owner Aug 19, 2016

Don't forget that you also need to either download or make the hair and tail model you want to use!

SonicSR71 Featured By Owner 6 days ago Professional Digital Artist

Ok. Thank you!

TheWhitePone Featured By Owner Jul 30, 2016 Student Filmographer

Oh nice an updated stallion pack.

Pika-Robo Featured By Owner Jul 27, 2016 General Artist

So is this male base different than the one

released for Whooves?

Also is someone going to be releasing updated versions of the male characters (at least the ones from the original pack) or do we have to compile all of the ones we want from scratch?

AeridicCore Featured By Owner Jul 27, 2016 Hobbyist Filmographer

I'll update all the originnal males asap, altogether with Shining Armor and Big Mac. Sombra coming in August.

Jakinator178 Featured By Owner Jul 26, 2016

Hi, I am going to sound stupid for this, but where do we need to download this and extract the .rar file???

KataTsuda Featured By Owner Aug 19, 2016

Download is at the top right
Extract it using an archiving program like WinRAR, or 7-Zip.
Hopefully you know what to do from here. If not, go to the link bellow.

caramel-pegasus Featured By Owner Jul 24, 2016

Was the download pack supposed to include: "phymodel/phymodel_male_experimental.smd"
because if so, its not there... (O_o) ?

AeridicCore Featured By Owner Jul 24, 2016 Hobbyist Filmographer

Just replace it with the normal one, it works. I've had a second thought when making up the sourcepack.

caramel-pegasus Featured By Owner Jul 24, 2016

Ok got it.
If you dont mind me asking, what's the purpose of the phy and why is it important?

AeridicCore Featured By Owner Jul 24, 2016 Hobbyist Filmographer

That's for GMod ragdolls.

caramel-pegasus Featured By Owner Jul 24, 2016

ooh~ ok thanks.

caramel-pegasus Featured By Owner Edited Jul 24, 2016

Thank you AeridicCore!!!
new body... and i get to learn about DMX? sweet.

AeridicCore Featured By Owner Jul 24, 2016 Hobbyist Filmographer

Nothing to learn really. It just works.
The only problem is that it imports back in Blender real weird.

Benno950 Featured By Owner Jul 24, 2016 Hobbyist Digital Artist

What the hell is the point of so many points. you know.. the vertex count is so fucking high.

AeridicCore Featured By Owner Jul 24, 2016 Hobbyist Filmographer

Make it lowpolier and beat me in quality.
Oh wait. I forgot. You can't. Because you're Benno.

Benno950 Featured By Owner Edited Jul 24, 2016 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Defense mode initiated already?

AeridicCore Featured By Owner Jul 24, 2016 Hobbyist Filmographer

I said "beat me in quality", not "fite me fggt".

Benno950 Featured By Owner Jul 24, 2016 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Sure I would If I still made horse crap. I moved on from that.

AeridicCore Featured By Owner Jul 24, 2016 Hobbyist Filmographer

Yeah, instead you do no crap at all. Wise decision.

Benno950 Featured By Owner Edited Jul 24, 2016 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I'm either at School, Work or doing my other Hobbies. Free time is hard to find.

Dreadmaster231 Featured By Owner Jul 24, 2016

Will have to snag this.

Chiramii-chan Featured By Owner Jul 24, 2016 Student Digital Artist

If you're planning to overhaul the default male base with new flexes as well, let me know. I started that a while ago and don't think I'll get to finish it any time soon. I have a bunch of flexes updated to the VN ones that I could send you.

AeridicCore Featured By Owner Jul 24, 2016 Hobbyist Filmographer

Lots of unfinished stuff you have there.
You can send it to me, I might give it a look though I don't really like the old males appearance.

Chiramii-chan Featured By Owner Jul 25, 2016 Student Digital Artist

Yeah, I start too many projects.

Anyway was just asking in case you were already planning to do that, if it's not urgent then I'll just send them whenever I get to. (On vacation right now so not at home, also need to check the file to see if anything needs to be cleaned up before someone else can use it.)

AeridicCore Featured By Owner Jul 24, 2016 Hobbyist Filmographer

A note for those who have problem with eyes.
The older version of Crowbar ain't shit with dmx compiling. To get rid of this bug you have to either update Crowbar to the latest version or use the method I posted in my reply to Legoguy.
Thanks.

caramel-pegasus Featured By Owner Edited Jul 24, 2016

heads up:
I have been using batch method and I ended up with pinkeye problem.

"x:\Steam\SteamApps\common\SourceFilmmaker\game\bin\studiomdl.exe" -nop4 -r -game "x:\Steam\SteamApps\common\SourceFilmmaker\game\usermod\" "%1"
@ pause

I'm about to test it using tf2 exactly as you explained to leoguy.
I don't see why it would make a difference using the one with sfm, but for testing sake i'll try it. (downloading tf2 now. will report back shortly.)

----------edit------------

Success!
Compiling it using the studiomdl.exe that came with TF2 got rid of the pink eye bug...

"x:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\bin\studiomdl.exe" -nop4 -r -game "x:\Steam\SteamApps\common\SourceFilmmaker\game\usermod" "%1"
@ pause

There is a difference among the two studiomdl.exe.
TF2 - 1.71 MB (1,798,144 bytes)
SFM - 7.86 MB (8,249,344 bytes)

AeridicCore Featured By Owner Jul 25, 2016 Hobbyist Filmographer

SFM one is used to compile heavier model without capability to use it in other Source games. Of course it would fuckup some things.

Legoguy9875 Featured By Owner Jul 23, 2016 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Okay, I may not be compiling it right. Everytime I try to compile it in crowbar, I get only three lines:
Compiling with Crowbar 0.29.0.0: "C:\Users\*\Pictures\Pictures\Hexes\LegoPony\QC\template_male_new.qc" ...

Compiling ".\template_male_new.qc" ...

... Compiling with Crowbar 0.29.0.0: "C:\Users\*\Pictures\Pictures\Hexes\LegoPony\QC\template_male_new.qc" finished.

I even tried add $cd at the very top, but I got nothing else. Very little of the QC is changed. Am I doing something wrong?

AeridicCore Featured By Owner Edited Jul 23, 2016 Hobbyist Filmographer

Maybe something's wrong with your Crowbar settings.
I use the compiler written by myself, that old .bat compiler, you know. You only need to insert your mdlstudio.exe link and your usermod path in there. Looks like:

"C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\bin\studiomdl.exe" -nop4 -r -game "C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\SourceFilmmaker\game\usermod" "%1"
@ pause

Just copy that to a raw .txt, change the path to yours and reformat it to .bat - now you can drag .qc files onto it and it should work.

Legoguy9875 Featured By Owner Jul 24, 2016 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I think I found the issue. I had my Crowbar set to TF2, when I needed it set for SFM. A bit odd, but I got something out of it.

Legoguy9875 Featured By Owner Jul 24, 2016 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I tried it, and I get "Studiomdl.exe has stopped working." Does adding wings to the QC cause issues? Because I did that.

AeridicCore Featured By Owner Jul 25, 2016 Hobbyist Filmographer

Nah, I compiled Strider with wings.
Yeah, you need to use TF2's studiomdl.exe and compile into SFM's usermod. This method is also good because the models compiled become both SFM and GMod compatible.
