Topazanite Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 So I made birds. I mashed them to the imp skeleton, and now they're flying around, happy as can be. You can see them here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xM8CJisSK8 I have to fix the mesh a little bit more tomorrow -- to fix the tail and make it less clunky and more hawk-like -- and I will be improving the UV map while I'm at it. My texture, as you can see, is completely miserable. That bird is supposed to be a hawk, although it looks more like a pigeon right now. This is due to my bad texture as much as the mesh. Since I have to modify the mesh and re-do everything texture-related anyway, I was hoping to recruit a better texturer than I to assist me -- full credit would be given for your work, of course. :thumbsup: I might modify the resultant texture to make more birds, like robins and birds of paradise.

alonsomartinez Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 loks good How are you going to make them fly higher ?New animations ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topazanite Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 I wasn't going to. Honestly I have no animation skill; the wing movement on the birds only looks good because I managed to keep Bethesda's rigging, and the rest of the bird is completely inanimate. :whistling: I might be able to cheat a little height when I go into Blender, but otherwise they'll stay where they are now -- about level with the player's head. Since I've not received much interest in them, and I only initially wanted to make a pet for myself, I'll likely only introduce a few different bird types as companions/pets. If anyone wants to take them from there and make them fly higher or make a new enemy type, I'm perfectly OK with that as long as due credit is given. I guess it would depend if I got a texturer on-board, though; they might want the policy to change to getting permission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topazanite Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 At least you can tell what those are supposed to be! XD My texture isn't an inherently bad texture, it just looks like a random bird and not a hawk. Wish I knew how that happened, all the photos I worked from were Red-Tailed Hawks.
