Last post by cranlox - January 13, 2026, 05:17:21 PMHere I've compiled a pack of characters that turned out really well, or rather, are extremely varied:
The first two are the protagonists of Battle Beasts, an old PC game, made in 2.0, that was a lot of fun to play. When I got my first computer, it came with this game as a gift, and I played it to death. The first two are Sparticus and Vermian. They would be two beautiful organic robots that would serve as tanks in the game, and they have good long-range missiles since Sparticus shoots fireballs from his mouth and Vermian fires missiles upwards from his back door.
Here's a link to them because I'm sure they're not very famous:
https://collectionchamber.blogspot.com/2017/08/battle-beast.html
Next up is a gallery of Ben 10 Classic villains with truly spectacular artwork: 77, Argit, Liam, and BugLite. They don't appear in any of the games in the franchise, which is why I chose to capture them at the time. Personally, I'm fascinated by all four of them.
The most unusual character in this pack is undoubtedly Mateo, the wizard from Disney's Elena of Avalor. There isn't a game version of him either, although there is one of Elena and one of Zuzo, who was brilliantly brought to life by RD. Mateo would be an excellent addition to this franchise. He could even hold his own against Dr. Strange.
Next on the list is Garcia Ferrer's most famous and beloved character, Largirucho. Many say he's an anthropomorphic seal, others that he's a rat, but everyone agrees he's the most beloved and recognizable character, even surpassing the main characters. He has the distinction of appearing, albeit in a minor role, in all of Garcia Ferrer's productions. His hair is so long it should be cut off or attached to his body, but otherwise, the model is perfect. A major item in this collection, finally completed.
When we talk about characters from the '90s, we sometimes find a huge difference between the animated series and the figures. This was also the case with the Moo Mesa Bulls. Dean's figures perfectly reflect the characters from the series, and the villains were also more faithful to the figures than the heroes. However, the hero duo didn't get that treatment. These two models aim to correct the figures' appearance, which, in my opinion and out of habit, are a bit too rough.
Going back in time to collect characters from old cartoons, these models bring to mind the old European cartoons of Pif & Hercules. This cat and dog were quite fun to watch when I was a kid. Here's the duo, and frankly, they're the only thing worth watching in that series, since the rest of the characters were just unimportant extras.
On the other hand, Pet Tech, a Siberian Husky puppy (Alec) and a tortoise (Deb), pilot advanced robots in an interesting and extremely new short that I found cute and worth including on the list.
Finally, the four main characters from TOTS Tiny Ones Transport Service—the captain, the flamingo, the penguin, and the koala—are truly adorable and willing to do anything to deliver the little animals. I found them really endearing, and I bought the figure pack and felt the need to take screenshots of their models.
All of this involves a lot of work searching and deleting through so many files, almost double the effort to provide the largest model package I've uploaded so far.
I have my own list of requests, and several members have asked me for things (Dean, Benton & RD still have items pending from their lists, and some other members made individual requests). I'll soon open a thread for requests for complete models or just heads, and when I have a decent list, I'll buy the membership again, probably the cheapest option, and I'll race against the clock like last time to make as many of them as possible. As for the heads, several of us can figure out how to assemble them; the complete models, I think, fall to the usual forum heroes.
Well, I hope you enjoy them!

Requests for Skins and Meshes / Re: Saturday Morning Adventure...
Last post by cranlox - January 13, 2026, 07:06:18 AMThe most logical approach would be to create the character designs one at a time. This means finding and/or generating the desired image for each character and positioning it. Then, use a relatively good AI to match them up. Midjourney is generally considered the best, but I've never used it. They always have errors, like Cheetara's bo staff that shoots from the tip, Donatello with a machine gun and sword instead of a bo staff, Leonardo with a sai, Quicksilver in a Silverhawks version, and even a Rocksteady with a turtle torso.
You should generate a prompt (a good one, to give the AI ��instructions that, without specifying the character's identity, ensure it accurately represents each one). That's what I would suggest. If you leave it up to the AI ��to search for and interpret the character's design, even if you tell it which series or cartoon it's from, you'll have design discrepancies. You must ensure the design is consistent regardless of the character. For example, instead of saying, "I want Bebop from TMNT fighting Dakota Dude from Moo Mesa," you should specify the character. To say, I want this attached character model (attached image 1) fighting this attached character model (attached image 2) in the same line work and style, respecting 100% fidelity to the original design, on a background similar to attached image 3. This way, you tie the character design together regardless of whether you created it or it's from 90 years of comics. When using generative image AI, you should always construct the prompt well, based on what you want to achieve, and limit creativity and errors by adhering to the attached models. This way, you'll have less chance of things going creatively wrong.

Requests for Skins and Meshes / Saturday Morning Adventures In...
Last post by BentonGrey - January 13, 2026, 02:46:51 AMHowdy guys! I've been messing around a bit with some various AI programs, trying to see how they might enhance our capabilities in modding, since our community is pretty small these days (though our existing content creators are freaking amazing!). I've been playing with Elevenlabs to generate voicepacks and such and have had some success, but one of the things that I've really been wanting for my Saturday Morning Adventures mod is an image I can use for the main menu background. I have in mind a cool, big group shot of some of the heroes and villains from the various shows battling it out, in classic comic crossover fashion.
I started experimenting with OpenArt, and I made some progress, but I can't manage to get it to produce something that doesn't end up with some hybrids and monstrosities. And, for some reason, I suppose because of the name in common with the lead Silverhawk, it kept adding Marvel's Quicksilver into the scene, haha. I was wondering if there is anyone out there in the community who has more skill and experience with this kind of thing than I do and might be willing to give it a try for me. Alternatively, I wonder if there might be some folks who have enough Photoshop experience that they could weave a whole out of the various broken bits that I managed to produce.
Here's my (often times unexpectedly hilarious) poor efforts.

Releases / Re: CRANLOX LABORATORY
Last post by cranlox - January 12, 2026, 07:03:05 AMI saw a bootleg He-Man with the Venom logo and Venom arms, and it sparked the idea to make a Venom/He-Man hybrid, where the Master of the Universe is somewhat Venomized.
This is what I did right before I started the Tiny Toon Adventures, and it turned out really well. I also made some Masters of the Universe heads that need bodies, but they haven't appeared yet. Today I deleted several bad files looking for things to salvage.
I also found a paper comic from Cybats21 in my old room, which makes me really want to get Synthetic again so I can animate the characters from the comic. First, I can create videos of them animating the panels. I hope I can do that sometime soon. Even so, the gifts RD made are truly amazing and more than I could have achieved on my own.

Mods / Re: Comprehensive List of Mods...
Last post by Illustair - January 12, 2026, 05:22:12 AMI see, I see. But is "Freedom Force for FFv3R" necessary so the original FF campaign would get the benefits of EZFX and FFX 3.3? That's the only workaround I could think of. I'm asking since if I understand it correctly, it seems that FFX 2.6 is supposed to be for FF, whereas FFX 3.3 is for FFv3R, but fundamentzero.com is no longer accessible, and so is FFX 2.6.
And yes, Patriot Tales is a mod by Benton.
Thanks a lot.
EDIT: Oh, nvm. I think I found the solution using Wayback Machine. I now have the FFX 2.6 for FF.

Mods / Re: How create new missions?
Last post by BentonGrey - January 12, 2026, 03:05:36 AMHowdy Illustair, glad you're enjoying the tutorials! Don't be intimidated! Modding can be complex, but it's not nearly as daunting as it seems. To answer your question, you don't have to have any coding skills at all, thanks to M25's EZScript, which is a plain English scripting language that basically works as an interpreter for actual Python scripting in FF. You can write simple instructions and use pre-made encounter types to create your own adventures, with zero coding experience or skill.
I'm a perfect example: I have basically no coding knowledge, but I've got a stable of (fairly massive) mods!
Check out my second tutorial for a breakdown of how this works:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3iWjqlknsU&t=1866s
As for my VPs, thanks for reminding me! I need to re-upload those. (There's never enough time!)
I think you already saw my post about Elevenlabs (and there are others as well). These give us amazing tools for VPs! I'm actually toying with the idea of creating fully voiced mods for the first time...eventually!

Sounds / Voices / Re: AI Voice Platform: Tool fo...
Last post by BentonGrey - January 12, 2026, 02:58:38 AMIllustair, I'm pretty well convinced that AI is going to destroy our civilization by erroding all that makes us human, ha, but I think that using it for mods and the like is pretty much a net good. A little project like mine is never going to attract actual human voice actors, and I couldn't pay them if it did, so there's no loss of human talent or capacity. If we were just using these tools for little things like this, I think it would be grand.

Mods / Re: Comprehensive List of Mods...
Last post by Jimaras8 - January 11, 2026, 06:56:39 PMIs Patriot tales a mod? If yes, it wouldnt hurt to install EZFX 6.1 and FFX3 first. EZFX is a must for everyone since it has hundreds of fx that you can use for your own characters.
