A VERY VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR SERIOUS SPIRAL SPY USERS
New updates of Spiral Knights have rendered a lot of model textures incompatible with Spiral Spy, I have a temporary solution and am working on a more permanent one right now, get the temporary one to fix model walls here:
http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/31275?page=5#comment-619070
I'm currently in the process of setting up a webpage to showcase both mines and others Spiral Spy fan work, and to help others in the usage of the Spiral Spy program, it's not much at the moment but that should change with time.
My rapidly growing but still rather empty tumblr page
===========================================================================
The Works of Happyapathy, "The Lone Gunner"
First of all some personal info, my IGN is Happyapathy, I'm an unapologetic gunner with far too many guns, and I am forever guild-less, why? BECAUSE I CAN. All sending me a guild offer does is tell me that a person doesn't know me or what I do. Despite this I am very well connected (most well connected non-guildy in SK :D) and am quite easy to friend unless you behave like a complete jerk or send me a friend request without even saying hi at least. So there you go...
----------------------------------------------------------
You may be aware that a while ago a program called "Spiral Spy" was posted by Spiral-Spy as a way for people to preview gear/accessories before they actually got it, the thing also shows a lot of unseen content but your not allowed to talk about that on the forum (if you encounter me in game you ask ;) ).
Spiral Spy 1.2 - Read up on and download Spiral Spy v1.2 here
Spiral-Spy's Blog - Feed Spiral Spy's ego here on his blog, he deserves it
Spiral Snipes - Put here cause I don't like having to always dig around the forum for this
Anyways some people experimented around and found that it could be used to create convincing game-like scenes, I decided to give a serious shot at it and REALLY got into it. The program is a v1.2, which means it is VERY VERY easy to crash so it took about a dozen crashes and then some before I started to figure things out.
I actually found out there is A LOT you can do given a bit of time and some basic knowledge of 3D graph plotting. I could probably come up with some pretty fantastic scenes in the future, and I sure hope Spiral-Spy is still around cause there is a lot of potential in what he made, more so then just as a preview tool for accessories. I would love to see what a future, less crashable, version would be like :)
Just so you know, working with this program is like building sand castles cause the only way you can create a new scene is by deleting everything from the previous one, so all your work is eventually destroyed much like how the rising ocean tide will sweep away creations made in sand, so if your wondering why it seems I went overboard on screenshot its because I can NEVER recreate these scenes again as they were. Believe me I've tried all sorts of wacky ways to save work and so far I haven't found one that works.
----------------------------------------------------------
The guide here is REALLY badly outdated, to be honest you would probably learn more by reading through my thread here then from it, its a good place to get started still. Spiral Spy has a pretty steep learning curve to get to a point where you fully understand it and making scenes does become tedious at times but I find it worth it.
----------------------------------------------------------
To people who want to request a scene:
It turns out I'm REALLY BAD at doing requests as I tend to put them off in favor of my own personal projects, as such I apologize to anyone who requested something and has still yet to see it made, but I'm not promising I'll be doing them anytime soon. While I'm not saying I won't take requests or suggestions, if you want to have a particular scene made you are likely to have more success asking someone else as I'm a rather fickle artist who likes to work on what I want to versus what people ask for.

Working on a slightly different vein of scenes to create comic like sequences:
----------------------------------------------------------Embrace the Dark
An ongoing FanComic I'm working on that is becoming a huge long term project for both me and others.

As a note of interest, you actually can't sit like that in game, I had to make some 'adjustments' to get that to work

I really like the way this one came out, took just over an hour to make, you don't realize how fat those snipes are until you try to place one on your shoulder, THEIR HUGE! If anyone wants a scene like this of them ask me and I'll look into it.
----------------------------------------------------------
This scene is dedicated to Chezi, Casun, and Crazybitz, who took me on my first ever shadow lair run and brought me back up alive on the other side, may they force every member from their respective guilds to come look at this so they may gloat about it :P (P.S. Yes Chezi, wolver tail accessories really do exist).
On a note about the making of the scene itself, this thing, in my opinion, is a master piece of Spiral Spy work, a lot went into making this particular scene with so many characters each with their own unique animation setup requiring multiple copies of model files to make it work, also the work with the lighting (or more like the lack of lighting) and ambient effects is something I really pushed here, a lot of what I know went into getting this scene to work, a pity since the second I close Spiral Spy all the animation settings get wiped and everyone goes back to idly staring stupidly into the distance :/
The scene is based on actual gear that was worn at the time, I'm sorry to you guys if you would have rather worn something else if you knew I was going to make this into an art piece :D
The best title I could think of for this was the one word that got repeated a lot in the Unknown Passage...

This shot from behind really makes me regret not adding the exit elevator ahead of us, I wasn't intending to look at it from this angle but it looked good enough that I screenshot it anyways:
I'm going to post the scene file for Spiral Spy here so people can upload it and maybe get an idea of what I did, although chances are Spiral Spy will explode if you try to use it as I used a number of custom files to make this thing work, plus all the animation work will be lost and everything will be reset to idle even if it does work:

This one here is the result of some experimentation with animation priority to try and create new poses by having one animation "override" another one, I sadly was unable to create the desired two-handed "dragon slayer" pose as there aren't that many motions which bring both hands together, the closest thing I could find was the clap emote which proved to be utterly useless.
The pose I use here is an odd combination of the 'fall recovery' and 'charged pistol hold' animation for the knight.
Fall of Troy (Name seemed appropriate)

I also tried some Photoshop work with one of the images here.
I swear I've seen this particular knight before...
----------------------------------------------------------
This scene here was created with the modest purpose of saying, "hey, look I managed to put in gun each hand", then I decided to add bullets, then bullet shells, modesty was blown out the window when I decided to put the (still) nameless snipe in and was dead before it hit the ground when I decided to give my snipe the second kid-sized Blitz gun.

====ALL ABOUT NEKOMI====
I'm hoping there are more then a few people who are wondering how I made her well not to worry. Though I probably don't have the capabilities to copyright characters I'm going to go and ahead and declare Nekomi an open source character:
DOWNLOAD THE KAT LADY (kit pieces, some assembly required)
DOWNLOAD THE KAT LADY (fully assembled and optimized)
These folders are what I call "Character Sets/Profiles", each folder contains all the necessary files and instructions to recreate a character, in here you will find my own character as a basic guideline and Nekomi's more complex instructions including recoloring and attachments , they also contain a folder for her possible pet Kleptolisk 'Kleft'. All files can be used directly from the folder in Spiral Spy without been moved or renamed, just put the Character_sets folder in the rsrc folder.
I have a similar folder for other characters, such as Eve, but I think I will be keeping those for myself right now.
-----------------
So what do I think of Nekomi? Well as I've said I intend for her to be a stealthy thief type, beyond that personality has not really been established.
A note about those claws, they have an interesting unintentional safety feature that they will rise and lower depending on if her hands are opened or fisted, this would allow free hand movement without having to worry about cutting herself so much:
I also imagined that if she ever appeared in game she would be able to launch rapid 3 way mini-spur shots from each claw :P
Despite the hand claws, shes actually still able to wield the traditional sword/gun and shield:
However if you ask me she doesn't look like the type to hide behind a shield for defense, I'd like to think she has other ways of dealing with danger:
Defense1
Defense2
Defense3
Defense4
I'd also like to think that tail she has wasn't an accessory :)
I've considered having a pet Kleptolisk for her named 'Kleft', a gadget totting lizard that is 40% smaller then other kleptos, will see.
I would love to see any art, or even fan-fiction, involving her, I may even give some CE if I really like it. She's free for you to do what you wish with her, just treat her well :).

You may now pick your jaw off the floor, does make me wish Spiral Spy had some movie making capabilities now :P

I wish I now had my own OP 6 star Autogun , the fact I will never actually have a weapon like this makes me weep :'(

I liked number 17 and 21 the most.
If anyone thinks they can take a crack at finishing the scene, here is the environment and some instructions/notes on how ot do it. I think I tried to render too much [crap] (0ver 100 elements in this one) and now spiralspy wont load it.

By Scarred-Knight (IGN: Ailment) <-- You need your own thread man ;)
A character based off of a fan-fic I created some time ago (not SK related, although I did have a version...but I don't plan on submitting it anytime soon). As to how I created him, I had to redo a lot of textures (Chaos Series, Nightblade, redo poison drippings to look like blood, default grey striker added blood), stuck some blades on his back, some sword sheaths on his hips, and finally some blades attached to his feet. The first picture is a basic introduction, his name, and his general look. The rest are him dueling with another character I created.
Introduction
Duel Scene One
Duel Scene Two/a>
Duel Scene Three
Duel Scene Four
Secondly, another character based off of the same fan-fic, although this time I give no name, since atm it would not make sense (not that Solarion makes much sense either, but...). Slightly inspired by the mini-gun Happyapathy created, I kinda made my own version based off of what this character could do. Thus I present what appears to be the first ever, hand "mini-gun".
Next, I bring forth a bunch of images showing what one can do when they know how to edit textures. These are edits of both the Vog Cub and the Skolver in a way that I thought would be more beneficial to the look. Skolver is a little broken, and Vog Cub could be refined a bit, but for the most part they are both "done".
Vog Cub Front
Vog Cub Back
Skolver Front
Skolver Back
Also, these do work in game, and to prove it, here is a video I took of myself when I changed the Vog Cub texture, into something completely different.
That's not how your suppose to blend in!
Finally, a scene I recently completed inspired by the run of UFSC I completed a couple nights ago with Happyapathy, Culture, and Vcat. This scene comes in 4 forms, the original, and some Photoshop edits.
Original
Cutout
Slight pencil strokes + darken
Poster + darken
Thats all I have to show for now. The artwork that is coming from this model viewer is simply incredible, and continues to get better as time progresses.
================================
Note: If your an artist who just wants a picture of a 3D model to work off of for your own Fan Art, provided its not something to big I can probably quickly whip up a temporary model in whatever larger project I happen to be working on and take screenshots of them for you, just ask and I'll see what I can do.
All comments and suggestions are appreciated.
@Happyapathy
The character set for Nekomi works well, though haven't tried any of the bonuses, you, or here chameleon.
Also, I have a little project I've been working on and here's a glimpse!

And I would like to do a fanfic based on the cat thief. But I would like to know background info first please before starting.
@Isenfir
I'll add you to it when I have time
@Atrumvindex
There is no background story to her, I'm going to try letting her character go "free range" as an experiment and see what happens, you go ahead and try something, just don't kill her off :P
Maybe if you write a story I'll update a sort of 'biography' for her, others can work off of that perhaps.
You mixed up the links lol
at first i used spiral spy to try out accessories, then i saw how good the people here are at rendering...
here are a few of mine!
this was first one, copy pasted in MS paint (i suck at photoshop)
http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i452/netmafiagospel/skwall.png
then i learned how to add models directly in spiral spy
http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i452/netmafiagospel/lejellie.png
and recently (since i started FSC runs) I added more models plus character animations..
I loved Happyapathy's in your face Vanaduke pic, so i decided to make my own version with my character Gospel...
http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i452/netmafiagospel/VANA.png
im really thrilled with this program and the works people make!!! i hope to see more!
I'll try my best with the fic.
Happy, don't worry about views, people enjoy your art. I personally don't come around the treasure vault as much given I usually stick to general discussion (and lately with certain threads, I have stopped checking the forums), but I check when I remember. :D
@Happyapathy how do you load the scene files
File>Environment>Restore
Then find the scene file.
neither the txt or dat files load from your character sets
you use those files to 'build' her like a model kit using the text as a guideline, player_nekomi.dat is just a renamed model_level.dat file, put that first in Spiral Spy like you would with a model_level.dat file, then place helm_kathat.dat as the helm and set it to the specified variant. For the armor use the armor_rearpouch_recolor.dat and follow the recoloring instructions in the text file, and so on. The files aren't actually meant to load her up directly into Spiral Spy, they just make it easy to recreate her like you would make any other character.
- Character gear: Dragon Scale helm, Vog Cub Coat, DA, Voltedge (I'll explain). Character color (and everything else) is red :)
- Accessories: Helm: Heavy Spike Mohawk, Heavy Helm-Mounted Display, Heavy Mecha Wings. Armor: Flame Aura, Pumpkin Bandolier, Volcanic Wolver Tail (matches Vog Cub).
- Setting: Dark Firestorm Citadel (shadow layer one) with Swarm infected slag walkers walking towards character (not even sure if they exist, if not just regular slag walkers).
- Action: I Would like him to be facing a mob of slag walkers, with the DA in his right hand, resting on his shoulder, and the Voltedge held reverse in his left hand with the point in the ground
- If you need a screenshot of what I mean for the character itself i can provide that...
- yeah, the portrait thing you have would be cool, but i would like it to be usable for a 1680x1050 background :)
http://s1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb349/ProjectRay/Spiral%20Knights/S…
Remeber the mystery scene? :P
It took me awhile to find a way to make the Grimalkins look asleep, but it worked. Sorry for taking so long to post it up >.<
Enjoy!
Photobucket.com/Ndognine
Take your pic (A ha ha, I crack myself up :3)
Alt Link: http://s1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb349/ProjectRay/Spiral%20Knights/S…
Btw I'm sorry but I couldn't find an animation with the sword on his shoulder and the hand lined up right for the left to be on the ground, maybe Happyapathy could find that out. Also I still have it up so if you want any changes just ask!
P.S. It might not look like the DA is on his shoulder, but it is :P. It's just the angle
only 2 things i have to ask for :3
1: could you make the character color of the mecha wings Red? (they are pink right now xD)
2: could I get a shot of him from the front as well? And maybe make the angle you have already but a little wider (not sure if thats possible so just let me know :P)
1: done
2: from the front there would be no zombies D: oly made it for that angle (took forever even so)
2b: cant make wider, sorry
3: which backround do you want, the shadows, basic or whitespace?
4: did you notice my little gag? :P it involves a skele
P.S. Happyapathy, whats the Consumed skybox used for in the game exactly?
I only want the front angle for my Ipod background :P the one you already made will be my computer background :D
after for background of the pic, yeah the shadows would be good
4. yes, yes I did xD
can you teach me how to add multiple knights? :v
Enjoy!
Also i made the one for Ipod less wide, and just after I took the screenshot it crashed so I can't edit it again D:
Hope you like it though!
P.S. Yes I just now realized the Eye thingy is pink /sigh
:S Hope you enjoy it anyway!
love it!
just wish i knew what i was doing in Spiral Spy xD
Even though its been said before:
Go to edit>prefrences
Click New enviroment model
search around until you find the character folder
go to pc
go to model.dat
Ta da!
@ndognine
Yw and np, If you ever want another scene, ask me or happy
also I'd enjoy feedback on my other works :D
Photobucket.com/almire
how does it look now?
http://i772.photobucket.com/albums/yy5/Ndog921/CursedBackroundIpod.png
Yay for Paint!
also btw
love the dying skelly in the background...makes him look that much more badass :D
:D I love making scenes after the player has killed something :P
still havent tried double wield... im so jelly right now...
but anyway... heres a litte something new.. The Sun
http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i452/netmafiagospel/thesun.png
question: ive been using preferences, new model for adding things... I want to add knights, but i cant change the poses when i use this method...
any insight on how i could do it?
look aorund in the thread for Happyapathy's "Start Automatically" method
Aw hey, I have a small request! Something like four knights fighting on an Shock-themed arena.. Probably with Mecha Knights and a Lumbers around! Would that be ok?
Knight#1: Red colour, full Snarbolax set, holding a Combuster and Heater Shield using a charge attack
Knight#2: Viridian colour, Crown Of the Fallen, Azure Guardian Armor, holding a Cold Iron Vanquisher and a Barbarous Thorn Shield charging against the Lumber
Knight#3: Cyan colour, Skolver Cap, Valkyrie Mail, holding a Wild Hunting Blade and a Wise Owlite Shield probably guarding herself.
Knight#4: Sky colour, Full Royal Jelly set + Royal Jelly shield, placing a Shivermist Buster between the knights.
I hope that's not too hard :I
I should actually try to learn how to use Spiral-Spy correctely, but as you said, it's hard because the program usually crashes so yea!
I'm going to be quite busy with real work for a bit now so you may not see anything new from me till around Christmas, just so you know.
I work on it when I have the chance! But, I might not get around to it for awhile.
@Happyapathy
D: >.<
They say plagiarism is the greatest form of flattery.
Might flesh this out later.
Anyways, awesome stuff so far - looking forward to more.
Someone once made the comment "Spiral Spy pics are like sandcastles," meaning, that you can't save your work. When you want to create a new scene you have to destroy everything from the previous and start from scratch. I found out however, that this is not entirely the case. Turns out, you can save environments that you have created! So, say you created the entire Town square. You can save all the work you put into it and use it again and again. This also saves the extra knights and enemies you created within that environment as well, however it does not save their poses. :(
A lot of you probably already knew all this, but I thought it would be worth sharing anyway because, well, I just found out. ^o^
Also, I'm gonna try to make a few environments, such as the auction house and the arcade, and make them available to everybody. I'm not sure how big the files will be when I'm done though, so this may not work out.
Some of this stuff on here is pretty good. I love the mini-gun. And Nekomi is quite adorable, although I haven't built her in Spiral-Spy yet, I do have plans for her :)
Now then, on to some scenes I created, or just random pictures.
First off, a character based off of a fan-fic I created some time ago (not SK related, although I did have a version...but I don't plan on submitting it anytime soon). As to how I created him, I had to redo a lot of textures (Chaos Series, Nightblade, redo poison drippings to look like blood, default grey striker added blood), stuck some blades on his back, some sword sheaths on his hips, and finally some blades attached to his feet. The first picture is a basic introduction, his name, and his general look. The rest are him dueling with another character I created.

Secondly, another character based off of the same fan-fic, although this time I give no name, since atm it would not make sense (not that Solarion makes much sense either, but...). Slightly inspired by the mini-gun Happyapathy created, I kinda made my own version based off of what this character could do. Thus I present what appears to be the first ever, hand "mini-gun".
Next, I bring forth a bunch of images showing what one can do when they know how to edit textures. These are edits of both the Vog Cub and the Skolver in a way that I thought would be more beneficial to the look. Skolver is a little broken, and Vog Cub could be refined a bit, but for the most part they are both "done".

Also, these do work in game, and to prove it, here is a video I took of myself when I changed the Vog Cub texture, into something completely different.
That's not how your suppose to blend in!
Finally, a scene I recently completed inspired by the run of UFSC I completed a couple nights ago with Happyapathy, Culture, and Vcat. This scene comes in 4 forms, the original, and some Photoshop edits.

Thats all I have to show for now. The artwork that is coming from this model viewer is simply incredible, and continues to get better as time progresses.
Looking forward to seeing more artwork in the future.
Amazing /applaud
I wish I could devote that much time to do those kind of things, now if only I were better at retextures...
Anyway amazing job with the minigun, character, and especially the retextures!
I look forward to your future works.
I apologize for the lack of feedback from me, I'm liking these pieces but I'm still very busy and don't have time to really comment or update my thread here, as I said it may not be until around Christmas that I can really comeback to doing my Spiral Spy scenes.
Does anyone know where to find the Merchant Packs? The ones that the Strangers and the Spiral Knights wear? I know you can find them and attach them when using the npc models but I want to know where the actual files are so I can attach them to other character models like monsters and pcs.
rsrc>character>npc>stranger>pack_boxroll
Thanks. I kept on looking around the Crew section. It never occurred to me that it would be in the Stranger section for some reason.
If your like me and work out of a rsrc folder separate from the game, you will need to update it to include content added by the latest patch. There are a number of new things, I'll tell you now there are a few unreleased armors/helms cause your going to find them anyways (nothing for gunslingers >:( ). There are also a few new props, and one particularly interestingly suggestive prop (It's out of this world ;) ) for what may be coming in the future.
How do you update it?
just copy the new rsrc folder from the main SK folder and overwrite the one you use for Spiral Spy, if you use Windows 7 it should allow you to "merge" it so any sort of custom files you have won't be erased, I'm not sure about other OS' though.
I'll be on the lookout. Also if you use a unreleased item and put it up for display in a scene, but DO NOT say what it is, is that still enough to piss em off? (Rephrase, to break TOS?)
I use Mac OSX. I only see one rsrc folder. Does it update automatically maybe?
At Long Last, for Happyapathy:

There are four more on the site if you want to find out what it is.

Shutting up. ._.
the topic it was referring to is in the graveyard, and honestly it was very dangerous for fair game play, but I could do such cool things with it...

I wonder who that is? :P
Based off of this picture he made
Unfortunately I couldn't find a good way to add in the ropes and reins from the picture, and didn't have enough time to fiddle around with the pictures in Photoshop, if someone else would like to give it a try I would be very pleased to see the results :)
Here's one of the best parts about this scene:
