Nimbus21 Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 A avian race with animated wings, that would be something. i know there is a mod that has a skeleton that suports wings but that's it. Script animation and textures, those will be hard. Don't know anything about the first two but I do know that textures on moving parts tends to stretch oddly. Still, I wish you luck because I would really like to see something like this
PrinceMason Posted November 18, 2013 Author Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) @Derok I agree, and was planning on going ahead with this regardless of there being any in pre-existing lore. It just makes the whole thing feel a bit more put together so it could be enjoyed by casual mod users as well as lore buffs. Though it did help with a few ideas like names and their general color palettes. And yes, they have arms as well as wings. Also, concept art will be very soon. My school work has just been taking from my time to study tutorials and such for this project as well as draw. @ghosu That is a bit nicer looking than Hagravens(at least, in my opinion), and for lore ancient avians may have looked like that before they were made a bit more civilized and evolved. (Also, ended up editing this because I derped a bit and didn't notice there was an entire other page... whoops.) Overall - I plan on making the race available without wings after making armors work on the beast body provided by Derok, so there can at least be some testing and feedback before I take the leap for wings and such. Not sure if I should tick the flying option for the race, since I haven't tested what it does yet without the corresponding animations. And I do want it more like realistic birds, the way Argonians are amphibious lizard folk and Khajiit are cat folk. Edited November 18, 2013 by PrinceMason
PrinceMason Posted November 18, 2013 Author Posted November 18, 2013 General concept art added! Stay tuned for more concept art, in particular the differences for females, hair styles, Topalian(or perhaps Topalish would sound better? At least for language, style, culture, etc...) and an idea of what I'll be aiming for for flight animations and such.
Derok Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) You are talented but I don't like much the style of your drawings. Too cartoony, looks like furry art. Not something I'd like to see in a TES game. And I don't like the angel wings. I think you should mix realistically arms and wings. Think about raptors. Also, you could use Skyrim birds as inspiration. Hawks, eagles etc...About their lore they should be similar to Altmer, less cocky, but friendly and charismatic people. I like the clothing you made. Said this, it's your race so these are just my opinions. Edited January 22, 2014 by Derok
Derok Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) So this project looks dead... I had great hopes about it. A bird race looks something new, plus all the awesome stuff you were planning. Edited July 31, 2014 by Derok
HurricainReaperProductions Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=121050760&searchtext=avian here is something you could probably use as a base for this race just change the body a little so it has compatibility with armor meshes i have his permission to use his meshes so i can upload a file with all the texturesa nd meshes for you to get started
GigabitLair Posted September 5, 2016 Posted September 5, 2016 Woo old thread rediscovery! @PrinceMason I haven't seen mention of this yet, and I'm probably blind for not seeing it, but regarding the pants thing... why not unisex skirt? I don't know... a kilt?It could work as such, because it wouldn't need to attach to their legs. Which would free up some time with the rigging of it. Helmet, chestpiece, kilt/skirt then anklets. Well it's definitely harder than I make it sound, and I am unforgivably bad at making a rig.But hey, he may not even be here anymore. Shucks.
