TEV shader node is (mostly) done! Thanks to that I could test some cool effects in Blender to see how it would translate into Melee.

This dark orb uses a combination of Color TEV, Alpha TEV, and vertex colors with an inverted hull. It's a little more vibrant in Blender, but the effect looks great!

Last night I've been wondering if I could implement the GameCube's TEV color mixer unit into Blender. After some research, I was able to make a shader node that replicates its effects.

Really powerful stuff, and very useful for Melee modding!

Oops! All "?" trophies... 😭

Last night I was curious about replicating Hurtbox and Hitbox data from Melee into Blender. It may not be exactly 1:1, but it was fun figuring stuff out!

I wonder if this could be useful for anything... 🤔

NOTE: I'm using Blender 2.79 because my temporary PC can't run anything newer.

I want to make a weekly or bi-weekly dev log for The Akaneia Build. Sadly, this wouldn't be fun to read since I can't share any future content.

It'd just be "Worked on [REDACTED]'s balancing. Their Neutral Special is not wack anymore."

Can't even post pictures... Would it even be worth it? 😭

If you're here after my recent post on Twitter, this is where I'll be posting things from now on. The Akaneia Build's account is still on Twitter, but I'll see if I can get a new account created here so I can repost their stuff.

I've been saying that the next Akaneia Build update is coming for so long that I'm afraid that I'm becoming like this guy's depiction from South Park.

"Don't worry! Akaneia Build 0.93 is on its way! Really!"

When I have free time from irl stuff and such, I sometimes practice rigging models over other Melee characters. I haven't been able to work on this one for a bit, but one day I'll be able to release it.

Lord of D. model ripped from YGO The Falsebound Kingdom.
Sword of Deep-Seated made by me. :D

Moving in. Feels weird being in a new place...

Anyways, I mod Super Smash Bros. Melee! I make stages, character balancing, and contributed to many projects such as The Akaneia Build, Turbo DX, Melee's CSProject, and more!

I might post here on certain occasions, so not all the time.
