Mechanical Tail!

[kieranfoy]

For the love of ALL THAT'S HOLY, please post if this interests you. Also, I'd like to hear your ideas for the tail; any suggestions you have would be appreciated.

 

And no, I don't brake for trolls, so I'm still requesting stuff. ;)

 

Yep, that's what this is. You see, I've been thinking, which is by itself a scary thought. And I figured that, seeing the steampunk thread going well and happily, that this request might be a nifty thing.

 

You see, I'd like a mechanical tail item I could equip to my character. It would be a simple thing; silver, although a brass version for the Steapunk Project wouldn't go amiss- and looking something like a piece of flexible metal tubing, like this: http://www.eminteknik.com/Common/Files/DOGALGAS_HORTUM0.JPG

 

Or this: http://www.pchemlabs.com/files/images/hose40_inch_1.jpg

 

And it would prefferably end with a metal egg-shape, like this: http://gizmodo.com/images/stainlessodoreateregg.jpg

 

Or something fancy like this: http://media.photobucket.com/image/metal%20egg/acsjsu26/MetalEggRedsmall.jpg

 

There are some good industrial textures for the tail itself here: http://webtreats.mysitemyway.com/8-tileable-grunge-textures-pattern-set/ http://webtreats.mysitemyway.com/8-tileable-metal-textures/

 

I'll leave which to use up to the judgement of the modder.

 

Another awesome idea would be a rusted gear pendant. Yup, a largeish gear as a pendant. Perfect for engineer characters.

Now THIS is an interesting concept I cant wait to see. :thumbsup:

sounds interesting but I wonder what slot would it take in the CS ? Biped ? The mesh is done easily enough and the weighpainting shouldnt be difficult at all since it is all going to the tail I would Imagine

!Sersay: Thanks.

 

@Alonso:: It'd take the tail slot, I'd imagine, since it's a tail, and use the tail skeleton.

[alonsomartinez]

There is a tail slot ?

[kieranfoy]

Sure. It's what the tail uses.

 

Heh. Seriously, yeah, very much. It's often used as a miscellaneous slot. Makes the tail go away, but not many people play beast races anyway, so it works. Popular with cloaks and capes.
