ITT: worst 3d models
Pick a flier.
ANY flier
god its so fucking true. all they needed were some flames, like come the fuck on.
>>30753677
that model ruined the whole line for me
looks so stupid without the fire and its back looks fucking disgusting with those holes
Xatu
Skarmory
Tropius
>>30753880
Archeops
>>30753880
I like Altaria's.
What if GameFreak stuck to doing only 2D models? The transition between 2D and 3D has been pretty cool, but with some of the models it's really not working out.
Pic related. So much wasted potential.
Blastoise
>>30753911
I've always hated that line so I might be biased, but yeah they look pretty shit
>>30753880
All the static gliding fliers
Look at them
LOOK AT THEM
>>30753880
Really makes you think...
>>30753677
>Starting up Stadium 2 as a kid and realising the flames aren't always active
Worst feel
>>30753928
They just need more dynamic poses, though some models are undeniably off proportion and look odd(nidoking, haxorus). Alola mons look better in general so it seems like they are improving. Definitely need to hit some of the old models again though, so many shit ones
>Inb4 Hitmontop
Only shit taste faggots hate Hitmontop's based Ginga stance
Xatu still hurts tho, its Stadium 2 pose was fucking great, and Dragonite also looks like a turd compared to its Stadium model
>>30753677
It's head needed to be wider, it actually looks like a weasel.
>>30753928
delphox is too humanoid that's not the 3d model fault
>>30753928
Honestly, if Delphox always had its wand out, and was in more of a crouched and ready pose, it'd be perfect.
You know, like the art.
>>30753937
how can you not love this qt
Literally all of Scyther's sprites were badass. The transition to 3d wasn't kind toher.
>>30753880
>>30753946
I actually like Tropius cause I find it hilariously rediculous. I'm like the only one though.
>>30753977
They need to recolor like half of them too. I hate how everythings so pale now. Pokemon used to be so vibrant and colorful
>>30753948
really makes youMAD
>>30753948
He's angry because he wants to fly but he knows gamefreak will make him look like a dumbass.
>>30753880
Thats not a problem with the models, that's a problem with the animations
>>30754199
I already got so used to the washed out colors that recoloring would feel off to me, they're indeed missing color but I don't think they should go with the high saturation the sprites had, somewhere in between would probably be best
>>30754252
still better than the gen 5 sprite
>>30754330
I actually forgot what its 5th gen sprite looked like. Its really doesn't look good without the sand.
>>30753677
Agree, it's a huge shame too because Cyndaquil is my favourite Pokemon
>>30754199
few months ago or so some faggot made a thread where he'd up the fuck out of the saturation on model gifs and people would say it's wonderful
however, it was completely dreadful and even more fucking saturated than the damn sprites
A lot of shinies took the change badly. Arceus looks like pale piss now, Scoliopede isn't near as striking, Espeon was actually passable if you liked neon green but now it's just gross.
>>30754607
where do you think I got these from?
they should make the next games look like wind waker
>>30754141
>>30753677
Typhlosion is my favorite but I will agree with you. No flame is cancer.
>>30753677
>Typhlosion
>archeops
>haxorus
literally all of my favorite pokemen.
>>30753880
Archeops
I know we're talking about the worst models but did anyone else love the models of some of the Alola mons?
Each Oricorio form had so much personality in the way they moved, they're my fave models by far
>Haxorus will never look cool again
>>30755670
archeops is one of the BEST models
I'm still mad
>>30754896
thank you.
>le washed out colors meme
that was just sprites being the wrong colors
>>30753928
In this case the model itself is fine, it's just that the animations are too sparse.
>>30753946
Salamence looks so derpy.
I remember how Stadium actually gave most Flying types a standing and Flying animation
>>30755777
What's so bad about it? I kinda like it
>>30753677
Salazzle. I like the design otherwise, but the positioning of the arms just looks awkward.
>>30753948
>Stands in the ground while idle
>Flies when it attacks
Why couldn't all of them be like this
>>30753880
The models are fine you fucking retard. The stances aren't.
>it's the animation=model rerun
>>30756005
That's how it attracts mates
>people unironically prefer XY's shitty colors
why would you do this to yourself
>>30756005
>>30756118
True, it wafts around its cloaca smell around to it's pheromone vents so the power of the pheromones are stronger
>>30753880
The only flier I like is Archeops, it's constantly flailing around which makes sense
>>30753928
>>30754039
I'm in the minority in that I actually really like Delphox and it's design...except when it's standing stock upright without it wand.
It would be cool if it took it out of its sleeve at the start of battle, but not over and over again each time it attacked.
Did they change any of the gen 1-6 models/animations in SM or did they just reuse XY's? I didn't notice any changes
>>30755808
Well, now it's gone full circle with stuff like the Alolan forms being too pale for their art. Just look at Alolan Dugtrio. Roughly the same color as Kanto Dugtrio, but the colors on the official art is extremely off. The Alolan Dugtrio art, not done by Sugimori, looks much darker and saturated than Kanto Dugtrio.
Anime and other games had a more vibrant palette than Sugimori's. I think the more muted colors were to go along with Kalos's soft pastels, but then they cocked that up with going to tropical regions for the next two games. It doesn't have to be as saturated as the sprites, but I think slightly upping the saturation of the textures would be an improvement.
>>30755724
I came here just for this. He just looks like the dopiest cunt imaginable now when he looked somewhat menacing in BW.
>>30755948
He looks morbidly obese.
>>30756228
lmao
>>30753677
I really don't like Raichu's model even though it's my favorite pokemon. I like the way it looked in the Stadium games more. Maybe because it's standing up straight instead of looking hunched over. I like its Stadium animations more, too. Seemed like it had personality.
>>30756006
Thanks XY for that
Most of the fliers where animated for the xy's Sky Battle "feature"
>>30753677
Skarmory
I love Skarmory but I literally can't use him because he looks fucking stupid
>>30756542
Are you serious? It just looks like some fat hamster...thing in Stadium. You even posted a particularly bad screenshot. The newer model is not only much more visually appealing but it's closer to the original artwork than the hideous mess of his Stadium appearance. Even if Stadium had some great models for the time (some of which hold up better than their modern counterparts), Raichu was definitely not one of them.
I mean fuck if you prefer his Stadium design you might as well just say you don't like Raichu's design in general.
>>30756761
Quit being so dramatic, anon. Just because you like the new model and dislike the Stadium one doesn't mean others have to feel the same.
>>30753880
For real why are all of these birds just hanging in the air doing nothing
Skarmory is such a badass, dynamic design and I can't stomach using one since gen 6
Uuugghhggggggh
>>30754896
I don't care if they perfectly match the colours of this official art or not. I just want them to look good.
>>30753677
miltank.webm
>>30753677
WHY DIDNT THEY GIVE HIM FIRE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>30757835
To show that unlike Charizard, Typhlosion can turn its fire off without having to die first.
What happened?
>>30758657
Fralligator was a mistake
>>30758657
The 3D model doesn't use the same proportions as the sprite or the official art.
Most of the 3D models are inaccurate but will be used again and again cause Game Freak doesn't care.
>>30753677
Nidoking and Rhydon look shit
>>30753677
people often point out that typhlosion doesn't have it's flames out constantly, only when attacking
these people fail to understand that it was designed with 2d sprites in mind, so the fire was an important aspect of it's design. they also don't comment on how it looks like a fucking loaf of bread
look at it's goddamn face. look at the pose. why are it's arms sticking out like that? i'm 90% sure this is just two cyndaquils in a suit. it fucking looks like mimikyu's johto form. what the fuck
>>30756563
>Thanks XY for that
>Most of the fliers where animated for the xy's Sky Battle "feature"
WHAT THE FUCK??? I NEVER REALIZED THIS
I FUCKING HATE XY EVEN MORE NOW FUCK YOU KALOS FUCK EVERYTHING GEN 6 RELATED REEEEEEEEE
>>30753677
Pokken Sceptile's proportions looks so much better.
>>30759539
EVERYTHING looks better in Pokken.
>>30759193
>>30756563
but they had standing animations for all those static fly mons anyway for poke amie. they could easily switched it over and just redone some of the battle animations but again GF lazy
>>30758657
>Not spiky enough
>Manlet
>Too fat
Same problem as Nidoking
>>30759731
>That crappy 'realistic' wing mottling
>literally subhuman taste
>>30758657
It's exactly like the official art. I don't see anything wrong.
The fire effects on these models can be really bad. Looks lime plastic.
>>30762219
just a bad extra edgy design in general
>>30762219
Another example
>>30755777
i love him
>>30762219
It's the outlines I think. The fire effects should be outline free. That said, it's the least of Zard-X's design problems.
>>30753928
The gen 7 models were pretty cool, so i guess they're getting better at it.
>>30753948
why is he so mad /vp/?
>>30762525
Because he can't use his Z move without looking retarded
>>30753677
Not even a contest
>>30753948
>Using the flying z move on him
>>30762599
wtf
>>30762599
What the fuck?
>>30762599
Fuck, I'd forgotten about that abortion.
>>30754141
I wish there was just a setting to turn up the saturation a bit. I already don't see colors well, having them pale makes a lot of pokemon look like shit.
>>30754714
See like this, the left one looks almost all the same color but the right looks pretty good.
>>30756359
I mean, its a bird trying to fly with a couple oversized feathers. It isn't going to be a graceful flier.
>>30758657
Why does it have tits.
>>30753880
Lunala's animations are superb
>>30754424
Hippowdon looks terrible without the massive amounts of sand pouring out of it.
It's a shame, I really like the Pokemon.
>>30758657
Shrink the waist, lengthen the arms, shape the snout, and lift the bottom jaw.
>>30763296
The ankles are too fat and the feet aren't far back enough.
Also, if it were up to me, I'd get rid of the perfectly symmetrical pose and spread the fingers some. It doesn't look ready to attack at all.
Thing with guys like Xatu and Skarmory is that they were drawn originally to stand around.
Arcanine looks so fucking stupid to me, I just can't put my finger on it.
