Skree000 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 thats great! you really churn out these creatures quickly! and with so many animations too! the only thing i think it could use is an 'at-rest' pose where it puts its wings down and back (folds them to the sides), and a hipoly version to get the normal maps from so you can bake in all kinds of great details in the texture, like feathers and stuff :) But im blown away at how creative and productive you are. Every few days you pump out a new creature with hand-made animations, thats awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skree000 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 i was reading through your tutorial in your last post, but you stopped just before it got to the good part! Can you tell us how you get through the nifskope stage with your custom creature? do you overwrite a vanilla creature with your own bones and mesh? How do you do it? :) or if you dont have time to write up some tuts, which ones did you use to figure out importing animations and/or custom rigs? what steps did you follow? All teaching yourself as you go along? also you might want to have a look at Riven's Wings mod: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5631 in his comments he says, someday he might try to make them animated.personally, seeing as how you already figured out animated wings, I think youd be the perfect person to see if you can get those wings to animate too, (the ones that stick out of the players back)... and or perhaps find a way to make them flap when the player is moving? and tuck in when the player is sitting down or crouching? o.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be easy to animate the wings. Although it has been awhile.. I may checkout riven's mod after i finish this next creature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
