SVR2011 URWL Screenshot Thread

[Goldash]

With work on Unrivaled Ambition coming along slowly but surely, it's time to bring some screenshots out. Comments and criticism on attires or appearances are accepted, since everything is always a work in progress. Some CAW appearances were a bit tougher than I originally imagined, since the switch from 2008 to 2011 is a dramatic one. Still, I tried my best and did some modifications here and there, particularly to those wrestlers who I thought needed an updated look or those whose appearances could not be recreated in 2011 thanks to the yearly CAW part removal. Enjoy this first batch, and more will come in the future:
























_{Gotta love this game's facial expressions. Mr. Gash may certainly be proud of this one.}



AS I SAID BEFORE, Blame Shane B. being bald again thanks to the horrible cornrows in SVR2011. They had them damn near close to perfect in past years, why mess them up now? For anyone wondering, J.J. Brown retains the hairstyle in question, but they looked absolutely horrible on SBP. Sometimes, you need to make some compromises and I apologize if anyone now feels Shane looks "generic" with the old bald hairstyle...those who remember our early shows know exactly what I'm talking about...anyhoo...







The absolute hardest thing I've had to do so far are tattoos, and their color. Some, I flat out removed from characters since they've been taken out entirely...the Japanese characters on Tail, for instance. Others, I moved around a bit, and some are now more noticeable thanks to lighter skin colors (SBP's tattoos were always there, but now have been upgraded a bit). Tattoo color is an absolute bitch to work with now that the much-loved transparency slider has gone the way of the dodo. Akina's, for instance, just don't look "right" while Cory's are spot on. Anyway, it's something I'm going to have to work on, and it may take me forever to really perfect. It's tough. Unless someone has the "perfect" number values for every skin tone (which may be possible thanks to the internet), then all right. As for right now, I'm caught in some kind of endless war of color shading. More to come.

Wondering if you heard that there is a way around crotch blur this year? I'll send you the link to the instructions if you want them...

[Tiago]

The face morphings are so unique and realistic. Great job with the attires as well, specially !nterogatve.

Yeah, I've heard, just haven't done the research for it (laziness, mostly). Only thing that scares me about that is what may happen if THQ decides to remove the workaround in a future patch (if there ever is one).

[ninjawarriorkaz]

Wow........you put in effort into these characters great job.

THQ is to lazy to do something like that, anyway with all they f'ed up in the CAW mode this year I doubt they'd be stupid enough to remove the only bright spot...


Oh here is the thread containing written instructions as well.

Thanks a ton for digging that stuff up, Devil, and I'll definitely look into it. Not necessarily sure if I'll do it right away but at least the possibility's there.

Everyone has yucky hands in 2011. I don't get it.

[fu]

The hands deal really sucks this year, bugs the hell out of me when I make CAWs. Goldash got some nice diversity going on here other than one thing they mostly seem to have more or less full beards. However saying that Akina's beard is awesome imo. What I can see of the attires I like, I'll give shout outs to Cory Jones and !nterogative as my favorites and I really like SBP his is simple, but still looks good to me.

[spiraltap]

Not overly keen on SBP, don't think the rapper look with the baggy pants and trainers works with no hair if I'm honest.

On the other hand, love Corey Jones, Intero, Kuleshov and Tail.

[Undamaged Threat]

Did you give !nterogative some boxing moves in his moveset? Since he used to do some boxing from what I've heard & read.

[Tiago]

!nterogative used a few boxing combos in his matches if I'm correct.

[Goldash]

Yes, !ntero's going to have a bit more boxing moves than he had in the past. He's always had a fair amount but I'm actually looking to bring it out a bit more this time around. But rest assured, he's still a powerhouse above all.

As for SBP's attire, I'm torn on it. I wanted him to have short tights but something just looked off. We'll see where his look goes since the lack of hair DOES implement a dramatic change, so...we shall see.

Yes, I picked up on the beard/facial hair idea fairly quickly myself and if anything, I don't want it to become a "stereotype" of my character designs. If I need to shave some people down the road, so be it. Remember, !ntero used to be cleanshaven...if I want him to have that look again, it's only a menu option away... ;D

[fu]

Yeah I know, but I like the beard with a bald head combo !ntero pulls off well, but maybe just very the beard styles with some is more what I meant by that. I am guilty of beards myself, so I am going to maybe try some wacky sideburns or something like that
