NovaHawk's custom stuff
Creator:

NovaHawk


NovaHawk's custom stuff is the imaginately-titled theme for custom stuff made by NovaHawk.

Notes

  • This custom stuff is mainly Photoshopped right now, original images go to original authors, etc.
  • I'm hoping to get into Mecabricks sometime though too.

Yay, more Nova customs! :D

I liked your old way of doing things (Skylor and Luna both look really good; I'm glad they are still here), but I can't disparage LDD figs. :P I haven't got any suggestions for a better way to do the helmet. Maybe printing on a regular head would work, but I'd understand why you wouldn't want to go that route. Also, there should be a torso on LDD (I think it's Mini Torso 2K or something like that, but I don't remember for sure) which will let you paint the arms two different colors. There is a set of legs like that too, but it doesn't always work. There are also some secret capabilities on LDD that I can help you unlock if you're interested, such as turning off part collisions or altering the RBG values and textures of colors (they have different schemes, but I think it's noticeable how much more vibrant Tahu is than Lenore).

Sorry that I couldn't help but give advice. :P The figure is really good. I like the detail on the sash and the print on the helmet a lot. I look forward to seeing more Rangers in more colors. I don't know the franchise well enough that I'd recognize most villains, but if Rita shows up I'll be a happy berry. ;) :P

Hahaha I never even thought of villians, but I'll have to try Rita sometime :D

Yeah, I can't say I'm super happy with LDD and I'd prefer proper images. What I was originally intending to do was render the LDD images on a program to make them look much more realistic. But, ever since I "upgraded" my computer's operating system, most of those programs as well as even Mecabricks cause my computer to crash after a minute or so and force a restart :/ I may end up going back to the old way I did things, or maybe try taking some photos of plain one-color minifigures myself.

I did consider just using a head because it's probably a better shape, but yeah I like to imagine there's a person's head underneath the helmet which is why I went with the helmet piece. Thanks for the tip with the 2K torso- I did see that after I updated LDD but just ignored it thinking it was a duplicate part. That'll definitely make arms much easier to manage in the future. And any help with getting better colours and getting rid of collision detection would be great, thanks :)

I've wanted to try using a rendering program for years but I've never tried. I'm working on a MOC right now and thinking I might try that; it has some transparent parts and layering which I think will be lost in regular LDD images.

I'll find the Developer Mode guide and then write more specific instructions for color values over the weekend. :)
