How do I Accomplish Character Transformations?!

[4njar]

The thing that I am currently trying to figure out is actor transformations. I have a character idea where the main character is pretty much a god that woke up from a 1000 yr nap, or something of the sort, and he randomly decides to go down among the humans to just wander. And to do so he decides to seal a vast amount of his OP powers and change himself into the form of a child. All of this will be done in a cut-scene, which is another thing that I need help with...


So the initial transformation cuts his powers/stats down significantly. But then through the game he will have to either make the decision to let his friends die or unseal his godly powers. Looking at the stuff that comes with MV I didn't find any suitable icons or animations to accomplish this, and I don't know how to make them. If it helps, the main character is a storm dragon with his powers based in controlling the elements of fire water and air. So if anyone is willing to help me, push me in the right direction, or even consider taking up commissions for me that I may be willing to pay for or trade favors for. Please let me know.


So What I need, I guess, are plugins that will allow me to do the actor transformations, animations like a dragon ball z power up into super saiyan, Not the blonde hair thing but the energy bursts that forms around them. I also need the animations to be in multiple steps, there will be moments when the main character only releases a certain amount of his power, think of it as the different super saiyan forms. I also need icons that mimic the energy bursts. Attached are reference pictures from dbz and Avatar the last air bender. I would like it to be a mix of the energy and the elements of fire water and air circling around the main character. Another thing is that I need it to not just happen in battle but to be an animation that appears around the main character as he is moving across the map and be capable of turning it on and off when needed.


The icons should look like a mini version of DragonballGT-powerup.jpg with a stick figure inside, the icons for the different levels can be different colors of the same icon such as bronze at the lowest up to silver, gold, platinum, and a pure white. the stick figure can just be a black silhouette.


The levels of the animations should also have an order from weakest to strongest. Going off of the pictures for reference the order of weak to godly should be DragonballGT-powerup.jpg -> goku__s_power_up.jpg -> super-saiyan-goku-power-up-wallpaper.jpg -> 2858047-original.jpg -> and then the final form as a mix of 2858047-original.jpg and aang_2.jpg but with only fire water and air. no earth.


As for payment, I am willing to pay money over paypal but I think that something more worthwhile is that I am capable of modeling, rigging and animating in Maya 2016. What I would need are front and side views of the characters fully drawn out, concept ideas such as poses, clothes, and such for the characters, I will need all of the range of emotions that you want the characters to be able to make, and I need a storyboard of what you want to happen in the short movie clip; these can be quick sketches but they should be able to tell me how you want the characters to move. As far as adding music, special effects, voices and all of that... I currently don't know how to do that so I can only offer my work up into the animation phase and rendering the video. And if it is a big video or clip then we can work something out so that it is more of an equal trade, I am sure that I will run into more things that I need help with too


Hopefully I posted this in the right topic this time... lol.

Well, I'm no scripter, but I know you can most of this by setting up specific Common Events and such.


To change the actor's graphic, on the third page is a button that reads "Change Actor Graphic." For any stat modifiers, you have to use the "Change Parameters" button on the first page. Animations you or someone else will have to provide and you have to set them up accordingly.


I don't think any scripting is needed here, actually. Just a lot of event commands set in a specific order.


That's all I got.

But how do I set the parameters? Like say he is originally lv99, how do I create the skill to lower his stats and then do the powerups/unsealing? I am thinking of either an item(s) or a skill be the limiter on his power. and then there is still the issues of the icons and animations. I was browsing through them and couldn't find anything suitable.
